it's ok! no issues posting it :) LCS discord link so that it's clickable here
Aw thank you mod 💜
What discord is this? Ive checked both the sub reddits and travis's discord but I havent seen either with a feedback channel
Not sure if I'm allowed to post this but it's discord.gg/lcs. Once you're in there click the "feedback" channel!
Thank you for interacting with the community. I know reddit is a vocal, but very small slice of LCS fans, so it's nice to see those at the top listening.
Cheers!
Read moreIt was a mixed bag to me but overall positive.
All the mentions of being data driven is the exact opposite of what I wanted to hear. Especially in regards to changing broadcast times and dates to reach the maximum number of people. Will changing broadcast dates and times for the millionth time increase viewership by like 10%? Probably, I'm sure the data is correct on that. However, if you make a compelling product and advertise the league well, people will come to watch regardless. The amount of times that the LCS has changed its broadcast time, broadcast dates, format etc. over the last handful of years is laughable.
However, hearing her draw comparisons with the MLS and its youth development systems was exactly what I wanted to hear. It's by far the best North American sports league to look toward. The two leagues face very similar challenges: weak leagues in a global sport, smaller playerbase, but both have an ability to attract foreign talent.

Thanks, appreciate your feedback positive or negative! Increasing viewership and sentiment around the LCS is going to come down to (in my opinion) several different initiatives and approaches that tackle different problems... and hopefully the sum of those parts is what improves LCS overall :)
Read moreGreat show, thanks for joining /u/jackfelling. It might be too late to implement at this point (I didn't think of it during your previous feedback thread), but if you were looking for feedback from fans have you considered having a QR code and link (emphasis on "and") shown on broadcast that takes people to a survey to gauge interest on different ideas or get a sentiment on other feelings about the LCS? Something like one of the slides during ad breaks like you'd see for the Grubhub deal or the Mastercard deal. I've gotten survey pop-ups in the client relating to the game before and that's neat, so having an open survey shown like during finals where there's the most eyes watching could bring more feedback than you'd normally see only on Reddit or Twitter (probably also more trolls). Even as a trial run for the open survey link, sample questions could be about what people think about the live comms, or players being involved on the broadcast, or quality...
Good idea!
Dang I missed the Jackie Episode flying back from vegas! Had a couple topic ideas I really wanted to bring on the show that always seem to be ignored when talking LCS (though jackie has briefly mentioned it in AMAs, she has been great imo so far.)
But really want to get into the LCS branching out of the boring LCS studio and trying to make connections to younger audiences across the country in something like a homestand.
Feel free to add your thoughts in the LCS feedback channel on Discord. Happy to respond there if there are questions you wanted to ask that you didn't get the chance to :)
Looking more into local development, I've come to the conclusion that amateur leagues may have the ability to revive League in NA.
Unlike Solo Q, amateur leagues puts you face to face with real people instead of 9 faceless figures across a screen. Toxicity within a team will more than likely be shut down immediately by staff, and behavioral issues if not solved with simply be removed. A team setting also promotes learning and growth mindsets, instead of the mindless, spin the slot machine hypnosis that soloq causes. I've personally found that amateur leagues are a far better and rewarding experience than soloq.
If Riot can support programs at the high school level and promote collegiate, as well as foster and advertise independent tournaments and leagues it would be a very positive change for the region.
That's the hope <3
Lol why does she have a camera filter that makes her look like I am trippin
I didn't want anyone to see my messy bedroom in the background ;)
Big fan of Jackie, props to her for coming on. She's got an amazing resume and it already looks like she's bringing some great ideas to the LCS. Looking forward to 2023.
Thank you so much! The entire LCS team has done so much this year and really happy with some of the things we've tested for summer and coming up for Chicago... so hoping 2023 is moving in the direction you guys are hoping for as well <3
u/jackfelling I know you're NA not EU but in general can you not play ads during silver f**king scrapes
Hm, that doesn't seem right but lemme look into it. Thanks for the tag.
We appreciate everyone watching and hear your feedback about the drop rates and how the drops were communicated. We did enable a lot of drops but of course not everyone got one and I understand that feels bad.
I believe this is our first time doing something like this specific to an actual theme and themed skins so we really will take a look at this for the future and try to improve. The broadcast was a lot of fun today and it felt great to have an awesome tailgate for the fans in person and try to get a bit creative with the broadcast. Thank you for the feedback here and we really will do our best to improve this fan experience for the future 💜
We really really appreciate how communicative you have been on socials, keep it up! ❤️
Aw thanks. I do what I can in between meetings/work haha. Appreciate all the feedback from everyone, good or bad.
Been watching LCS for 8 years now and it has never been better! Thank you, and everyone else behind the scene!
Thank you! That means a lot to us. Looking forward to continuing to get better and better with you guys!
Are teams allowed to opt out of having their comms shown during the match?
Yes they can, but we really appreciate that the teams have been so helpful and understanding to let us test this.
LCK includes comms when doing a Pro POV replay (some are hilarious) and during the last fight of the game that leads to victory. Obviously the Korean players are probably less prone towards anything that might be adverse to being broadcast, but it's always great to hear them and how they play out fights.
Thanks! <3
Sure but I think doing everything they can to maintain/grow interest in the league is more important. Also coms can have an extremely positive impact on how players are perceived as well. We need to see more personality from the pros and this is a way to showcase that. My opinion is there’s definitely more to be gained than lost from this.
Agreed, we want to find more ways to showcase player personalities and feature our players as much as possible on the broadcast.
Thanks everyone and appreciate all the feedback here! This was a test for us on a single day, and it's great to hear the reactions and thoughts around this experiment. If we decide to do this in the future, we definitely will work on the right mix between casting and comms. We went a bit heavy on it of course to make the most of being able to do this on Sunday and to test it as much as possible.
I saw a few comments below about whether they were live or not and YES -- in most of the games we did fully live comms with no delay. We also had several replay comms which are not live.
It takes a big effort (getting our teams to all agree to allow comms, working with players and tech to make it possible, and cutting to the right moments live and on replays) to make it happen so we definitely want to make sure if we do it again in the future -- we are doing it right and in such a way where it adds value to the broadcast <3 :)
