Nothing will ever be as demoralizing as being told to refund a skin, at least before hextech crafting became a thing
Someone told me I was a disgrace to Rusty Blitzcrank.

Meddler and Brightmoon have entered the chat.
Genuine question! Do you think the team would ever do like a retrospective on Star Guardians 2022 and the engineering behind the event?
I'm really interested to know how it was made too work, and the ways in which things kind of just fell apart at the end of it all.
Probably not on Star Guardians at this point. But the team who runs the Tech Blog team might be able to do something like that on the Tech Blog! I can point this to them!
For me in the past couple of years there has been huge inconsistencies with League content within Riot. Like the team "starts" a content series and just never continues.
Things like:
1) the VGU BTS pieces of content done for Mord, Irelia, and Panth. those were insanely cool and gave us a lot of insight.
2) champion teasers/announcements . this is pretty much self-explanatory, but there has to be a standard when it comes to announcing or teasing new champs. I understand every project gets its own resources, but shit the difference between Senna cinematic and Nilah's is kinda cringe.
4) Life of patch. This was so dope.
5) most recently you guys started with "Devs Spill The Beans" and just... stopped?
I am sure there are plenty more examples, but yeah, that's some feedback. /u/Cashmiir
I can speak to 1, 4, and 5 since those are things I specifically work on/around:
I work as a video game journalist and Nexus has been one of the coolest sources of stories I've ever had - it's only been a few days since I posted the Rammus thing! Admittedly, for that part, my opinion is pretty biased.
However, I do feel a little sorry for this part of Riot Games' growth. Even before it was part of my job, it was one of the things I enjoyed most as a player. I think that in this somewhat more serious part of communication, surely necessary after the start of the year, that somewhat more fun and lighthearted approach is lost.
Still, I have only good words for how you are doing things right now. It can't be easy to be in that situation and this is just the cry of someone who misses that perhaps more curious but less important part of Riot Games contents.
We still do some stuff that lived on Nexus like Champion Insights and ORIGINS! We're just spread a little more thin and we don't have a website that ONLY hosts that kind of content anymore.
Appreciate to hear all of the feedback though! <3

You are right about reddit, you will only reach high engaged engish speakers in a direct way. But "direct" is the word here.
There are plenty of game journalist or content creators interested in telling to the people what you say here. Its a bit sad that we are losing contents like the old Riot Nexus ones that explained why rammus only know six words or how jinx born from a Katie De Sousa's draw. I dont mind if it's in reddit, lol page or whatever but i think that Riot should bring back that kind of contents that, even if not giving a lot of "direct" return, helped a lot for us the folks around the world that spread the League word.
PS: Not native english, hope it can be understood.
Damn a mention of Nexus. That's a throwback.
I am one of the people on the team who used to publish primarily on Nexus. We still do this type of content, but our team is still small and we work on every game at Riot. So we try to find a balance. You also see a lot of our work without realizing it (we work on the Dev Update videos with Brightmoon and Meddler alongside the dev blogs that come out on League).
I'd love to do more standalone content and things like Ask Riot and deeper dive articles. But the content hasn't been performing as well since Nexus died, and video tends to do better so we've been focusing more there.
If a Rioter make a shitpost, will it be considered canon in the Lore ?
Coming from a professional sh*tposter, no lol. As much as I love Shaco x Fiora, it is not canon.
There's no way they actually just killed 2 months of SR clash for ARAM after reducing clash overall. That is such dogshit.
Meddler addressed this in another Reddit thread!
Don't know if you're the appropriate person to ask, but you are the person here so I'll do it anyways; It doesn't appear that the following skin stuff included in the TL;DR is actually mentioned in the skins dev article. Could that get added at some point (I know it wouldn't be immediate since y'all have to localize articles like these into other supported languages.)
Star Guardian Seraphine and Orianna will be available in Patch 13.13 and Star Guardian Senna will be available in 13.14.
Redeemed Xayah and Rakan will be released towards the end of this year.
Taliyah and Ashe will receive the next Crystalis Motus skins later this year.
Ty for pointing it out! We are including it now. Was just an oversight (and ty Meddler for raising it to us).
Yes that is when they filmed it?
Yup. We have been saying the filming date because we can't address stuff that comes out between the shoot and publishing date in the video itself. So we wanted y'all to know that in case something happens and we don't cover it!
I know that there's a rioter that works directly in this kind of things but I can't remember the name, maybe u/Cashmiir can help? sorry if you don't actually know, you're just the only one that I remember right now
LOL let me send this over to PIE.
Jax's upper body looks too muscular for my liking but looks good other wise
Speak for yourself 👁️👄👁️
-is a little-known and -understood language due to Tolkien's utter distaste for the way he imagined it to sound (based loosely on agglutinative languages
TIL Tolkien hated the Finns.
Tbf when I look at Finnish conjugations I hate the language too.
SPEAR*
SPEECH*
The Black Speech--spoken in its purest form by Sauron the Deceiver, his Nazgul ring-servants, and the Olog-hai (a type of troll bred by Sauron in the Third Age)--is a little-known and -understood language due to Tolkien's utter distaste for the way he imagined it to sound (based loosely on agglutinative languages like Sumerian, and similar to the fantasy language Klingon).
Clearly Kalista is a follower of the disgraced Maiar and wants to better communicate with the Dark Lord.
Thanks for subscribing to Tolkien Facts.
I hope these are not only because of the cinematic outrage and that they won't be cut back once people are calmed down.
Nope! Here to stay until y'all start hating them 😉
Ngl, constant yelling and seething rage are kinda red flags💅
Ya but I can change him
Reading this I was struck by just how crisp and clear the communication was. This felt like reading an internal exec status update memo.
Most of the other games I play would absolutely kill to ever get communication like this - but League players are just totally blase about this.
Thanks! We're going to continue putting TL;DWs out with dev videos for the foreseeable future. The first one we did I sent to like 10 people to figure out what else I could cut since we wanted to get the key bullet points across with no filler.
This one required a little bit of extra context because of some of the updates (quick play isn't exactly self-explanatory).
We'll keep iterating on these, dev blogs, and dev videos moving forward to try to make them as clear and upfront as possible.
I need to know Skarner's ranking
I don't know off the top of my head, but /u/reav3 might.
please burden me with this knowledge
Aatrox is way lower than he should be 😤
Hey folks
So uh, this was meant to go out at 12.30pm PDT, not 12.30am PDT, hence the lack of the mentioned blogs, lack of any of us replying on social media, video being set to private etc. We're going to stuff posted properly as soon as we can, apologies this process has been extra messy today...
