Coleman, I helped pitch the mmo

One Question u/Blaustoise.

At the beginning of the year you announced to make alot of skins for champs which have a smaller fanbase, how did it work out for riot in the end?

Was ist a success?

In my opinion the sheer bandwidth of champs and skins was just amazing :)

Edit: and ofc I highly hope you voted for your favorite skins too ;D

I have no idea they locked me in the R&D dungeon please help me

Fun data fact: the highest winrate skins tend to be the more obscure, often older skins that "true mains" use.

  • For example, Yasuo's highest winrate skin is High Noon, specifically some of the chromas for it.
  • This is the result of selection bias, where "mains" of a champion tend to be the only ones using the older, more obscure skins
  • Some of the more expensive skins (legendary skins often) have lower winrates
  • This is from less experienced players trying the flashy and expensive skins, especially when they come out, and tanking the winrate

Or it's not selection bias, and League of Legends is both pay-to-win AND pay-to-lose if you pay too much, so you have to find the goldilocks pay-to-win zone

Thanks for coming to my TED talk

btw, skin winrates differences are reaaaally small.

on a serious note, I hear you can be really successful in League without ever using a skin. Some Korean dude got pretty far without them.

However the capitalist in me also wants you to CONSUME

Mecha kingdoms Jax on the enemy team? I sleep. Angler/Mighty/Pax Jax. REAL SHIT.

I know it's far from west side but this place has the best tonkatsu broth. Daikokuya is good for the money like In N Out.

Also you ever been to Robata Jinya near Beverly Hills? That place has good ramen and yaki skewers. It's super good.

Ya I like Jinya too. I'll have to check out the silverlake place though
