Wasn't LoR Senna developed before LoL Senna?
Yes! I worked with Senna's DNA team and one of the things we talked about (but didn't talk about in the article because it was uncharted territory at the time) was Senna's LoR and League development timelines.
Thank you for sharing! Truth be told, I was anticipating to see Braum while I was reading the article heh. I'm glad you guys settled with the current version, I feel it really does fit Braum better. :D
I know, I'm bummed I didn't get to add him. I play him a lot in League and he has a special place in my heart (EVEN IF I HATE FRELJORD DECKS WITH ALL OF MY BEING).
I can't make promises, but I'd love to do more of these and cover the other champs we didn't get to talk about. Fingers crossed!
That was worth every minute reading. A bit bummed out you didn't get to share some of the other champions' background, but I still really appreciate this post and this amazing game!
When going into the meetings with the devs I have an idea of the general topic, and then just kinda wing it when I ask them questions. When I transcribe the meeting (bane of my existence) I figure out what I want the story to look like. Unfortunately for this one I realized after the meeting that I wanted to talk about the champs separately. And I didn't really have a meaningful story to tell about every single one. One of my drafts had a few fun facts about the others, but it just felt like a disservice.
Based on the Braum flair I can tell you this: Braum's earliest iteration was basically just a set it and forget it. Basically, you'd select another card and he'd take all the damage for that card. It just didn't really feel super exciting to play, so...
Read moreYou can't just tell me there was a Heimerdinger alternate wincon but not reveal what it was
UNCONKABLE would be able to shed more light on it. But if I remember correctly it was trying to build tons of turrets. It's similar to how he ended up, but I can't remember what the wincon part was.
Super interesting read. I love getting insights into Riot’s creative process - both on this game and on League.
Glad you liked it! It was the first time I've been able to work with the LoR team, and it was really delightful. They're incredibly talented. I hope I can do more of these in the future!
I say A - feel - ee - os, probably not quite accurate. I definitely butchered the pronounciation of that name (and some others) to make that clue!
Can confirm, is incorrect.
It's A-fell-ee-os.
I heard Interlocutioner say it about 50 times.
This is an odd but good time as any question then, are you guys planning to update the Voli plush then to match his VGU?
Not sure. That's a question for the Merch team. I can ask!
If he is anything like Sett then I am gonna quite league for a while, halve a year probably. because I want nothing to do with a juggernaut like that.
You leave my sweet baby boy Settrigh alone, you MONSTER.
While you’re granting wishes, please tell me you’re giving Evelynn the hybrid scaling that was removed with her rework, since it was such a huge part of her champions identity
I am but a lowly meme regurgitating writer who has played like 4 games of post-rework Eve and never pre-rework. So I cannot help. D:
please tell me you are releasing teddy bears of voli very soon as well
define very soon please :)
Is now soon enough?
The good ol'Rioter move.
You discuss things about the game: no rioter appears (which i get, there are the same threads every week/day)
You talk about chicken: u/Cashmiir "Now this looks like a job for me!"
I don't work on League so I can't comment on things directly about it. :( I don't want to misrepresent myself to anyone and promise things I can't deliver on. If you want some spicy memes I'm your person. But I do try to pass on stuff from Reddit to the right people.
I f*cking LOVE chickens.
Holy moly. That's not a chicken. That's a tiny dinosaur.
It's a Brahma chicken! They're one of my favorite breeds (behind the Ayam Cemani chicken and Polish crested chickens). They used to be the main meat chicken breed in the US.
That one's way bigger than normal and looks like it's even bigger than a Jersey Giant, which iirc is the largest breed of chicken.
Don’t need it now that TFT is out, can just wait on the toilet until it dries up down there
The tears from all of my losses keep me clean. 😢
f*ck I went like a week without listening to this. Thank you.
Please revert Sona to her original kit
That's just too far.
I really want the sound as my notification
It's the last sound clip in this article.
Someone should be able to make it from that!
That makes me wonder how they recorded that. Some guy was just breathing into a microphone and the SFX guy worked their magic?
It's Riot Sound Bear screaming and pigs.
I cover it in the last section of this article.
Will miss clicking on a post by a Rioter and have all the comments being something like "Buff my main pls"
Literally still happens on Reddit 🙃
Edit: I deserve this for posting at 5am
I don't get it. It's literally just the same music video next to each other.
