I’m about halfway :)

Great to hear. I'm looking forward to figuring out the best champions to use each week. They're randomly generated so I can't plan ahead. :)

If you already completed them once this week, you'll only see XP for replay rewards. If you haven't, they give the full rewards. :)

There's just one set of quests for the corrupted event, you can see them all right now. We originally had the rewards spread out over 3 chapters but ran into a technical glitch right before launch that made new chapters temporarily unworkable. We condensed the rewards into a single set of quests, which also solved a problem I was worried about - the one you're describing. We wanted people to be able to plan for the event, and being able to see all the quests at once helps a lot for that. I really like the idea.

Unfortunately, localization takes a long time (have to translate and QA across all our languages) and there wasn't time left to remove the "chapter one" text that can imply there is a second set of quests hiding. The quests you see represent all the quests for the corrupted event (though the weekly adventures will be spicing things up regularly too from now on).

I actually really like how this model turned out, giving people an immediate idea of the challenge...

Could also give them double-fearsome with elise and call it Fearmost.

Glad you're enjoying it. I've been really excited about this patch. :)

I don't mind you asking as long as you don't mind me not answering. Can't ever talk about unannounced stuff, whether it exists or not. It'd be as weird for me to announce something myself without coordinating with our folks that work on that as it would for someone in marketing to go change a card's mana cost and ship it to live.

Lol. As always I can’t confirm or deny anything unannounced, even if it’s happening tomorrow or I know isn’t happening anywhere in the pipeline. Like with how tempting it was to tell path of champs players wild shards were a few days away when they were about to release, but I had to wait. :)

I've definitely seen a lot of fiddlesticks requests. Just a general note; card sets are also the longest in development, starting over a year out in some cases, so while live balancing and feature updates can move faster sometimes; requests for specific champions and cards are both always going to take longer and also have to navigate other stuff; like making sure they play well with a set's other themes and mechanics, etc.

Thanks. I have to say, it is nice to know a fun surprise is coming. I managed not to hint at it too much, just saying that I looked forward to proving to folks that path wasn't abandoned. :)

Just speaking in my own experience as both a player and a dev at various studios, roadmaps are tricky because the moment you say "we currently plan to do X, based on what we know right now" then it often makes it very hard to make changes based on player feedback or learning new information; as some folks think this means the studio was "lying" or is now "breaking a promise".

It's difficult to find the right balance between stating the current plans for the future and being willing to change those plans based on player feedback, new information, or new cool ideas popping up that didn't exist before.

It's much easier to make a roadmap when working at a studio that doesn't care as much about listening to players. :)

Lol, not a flex. My username just doesn’t have Dan in it, so I used the prefix.

One of the game designers :)

You did :)

Sent. Look for the one that starts with a Riot. :)

Got room for one more? :)

It varies immensely with where you are on the ladder, and the state of the metagame. A new patch often means everyone wants to try out the new cards. LoR's meta often has tons and tons of decks that are viable though, some days I've gone for hours without playing the same matchup more than twice.

Sent. Hope he enjoys. :)

Nope! I sure did like them though. :)

Thanks for playing. :)
