Lux.

Lux is in a tough position in the lore, because she is a mage that lives in a region that hates mages. Because LOR is focused on region, we had a tough design problem of making a powerful champion mage, Lux, in a region that would not be focused on spells or magic. And in fact, one of the region's core pillars was to be effective against spells and magic.

All of this is exacerbated by the fact that Lux is extremely popular and everyone has high expectations for her and her execution.

I think we did a pretty good job and I definitely wouldn't call anything we did a mistake, but it's a tough problem and I think if we had waited on Lux we may have come to different executions that may have lead to Lux feeling more supported and having a better fit holistically within her region and the game overall.

All that said, I do think Lux's place in LOR has improved over time and I'm really excited to see her role in LOR develop over time.

I love this question! My path was pretty weird and I don't recommend others to try and replicate it.

I see this question and questions like it frequently.

From my perspective, I think it's most important to try and understand what you want to do and why you want to do it. Once you understand what you want and why you want it, then you're able to set a long term goal that should then enable you to set a medium term goal and then some short term goals that all ladder up to the thing you want.

As an example, the concept "I want to work in games" is very broad and vague. It makes it hard to build a plan with such a broad goal. Whenever someone says that to me, I ask them what do they want to do in games? Do they want to do art? Do they want to be a game designer? Do they want to be an engineer? Knowing what you want to do is the best first step to finding a path on how to get what you want.

Additionally, knowing why you want it is also hugely ...

The LOR team has not gotten smaller.

This is a complicated question to answer. When you say community response do you mean all of the community or do you mean this subreddit community? Because the responses were very different.

Overall the response to the K/DA cards was extremely positive. The cards hit all of our design goals and expectations regarding the impact we'd hope they'd have on the game and their inclusion rates.

I know it became a meme on this subreddit, but we did a ton of research and survey work to learn how everyone felt about them and the response was overwhelmingly positive.

Piltover!

Miss Fortune! She is one of my favorite champions and I have played her a ton in LOL and LOR.

I do like Gangplank, but not as much as MF.

My favorite champion is Yasuo.

Yep :)

I love this question!

Playing with friends is my primary motivation for playing games. I think some of my favorite genres are MMOs, RPGs, Survival games, and building games. Any game I can play with my friends is probably going to be a fun time for me.

This concept is simply not true.

Making games is a job. It is very common for people learn and grow and move on to do new things, which is what happens in all jobs and careers.

League of Legends is one of the most successful games in the history of video games. People leave and join that game all the time. In fact, a large number of people left League to create LOR and League is continuing to crush it.

People leave and join all games all the time. It's not an indication on the health or success of the game at all.

Sorry. That's a secret.

It's from Game of Thrones.

My least favorite dish is sauerkraut.

My favorite region is Ionia!

I'm not on the MMO. I'm working on an unannounced game.

I think it depends on the game and the goals of the game. Some are a product, some are a service, and many are both. I do think games as a service is becoming more common.

I did go to the Undercity Nights and it was fun!

Thank you!

Thank you!

LOL Uthgar!

It was extremely valuable. I wouldn't be here today without having had that experience.
