damn that's crazy
damn that's crazy
People at Riot have wanted to make an MMO for ages. I’m sure Blau was one of them (alongside myself) but I’m pretty sure other people like Greg Street had probably thought of the idea before too lmao
Coleman, I helped pitch the mmo
love y’all, I’ll come around to sh*tpost and maybe post some data analysis from time to time (hey using external data sources this time)
oh and sorry (not sorry) about the yasuo games over the years
Riot Blaustoise: guys we have to make a hello kitty soulslike.
Riot: ...
Riot Blaustoise: f**k you, guys!
wait... that’s brilliant
We've lost Wunder
Better than losing Worlds please CarlosyouknowIloveyou
FINALLY I SEE THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE R&D DUNGEON
These are dope. Hope she (the LoL dev team) sees this bro
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
It's really fun to hear this from a rioter as this is true from my experience.
Mecha kingdoms Jax on the enemy team? I sleep. Angler/Mighty/Pax Jax. REAL SHIT.

Wait that's a champion in League? And it can outplay like that???
Don't you work in research and development?
still locked in the dungeon
Crossover with Toast, Scarra, rest of OfflineTV, Valkyrae, Pokimane, Corpse when?
I play with them every now and then actually!
wtf? you're a Rioter? damn I thought you were just some random that got some publicity from Among Us. (Obviously, who am I to say you're a random when well I'm me? but I hope you get my point) Anyway cool stuff, man!
I'm moving up in the world
thank you for this, I'll fix it myself on monday

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
