My bad, I did mean today. You were playing lux and I was Ryze playing against you
I noticed you were a rioter near the end of the game lol
Lol. Yep that was me. Getting crushed. Mercilessly.
Wait I played against you in urf yesterday lmao
Wait yesterday? You mean today? I've only played 2 games today
This might not be your department either, but any chance of a technical blog discussing what all was discovered and what you worked through to be able to re-launch Clash once it successfully goes live? I work in tech and enjoy reading other people's struggles and successes getting things to work (just spent 2 days trying to modify a new program and my manager 'fixed' it by modifying the story).
Idk if they have one planned. We did one technical blog already with information about what went wrong and how we decided to make changes, but maybe something that is more of a high-level wrap up would be cool.
So what department do we blame if it doesn't work?
We fail and succeed as a team! . . . . Me though, you probably blame me.
Wots your department?
My focus is Quality. At Riot that's a lot of testing, risk assessment and player advocacy.
Question! Are third place matches going to be a thing that way everyone gets to play 3 games?
Still being looked at. Won't be in the Global Beta as we want to keep the Global Beta as close to the regional tests as possible.
I'm so happy Clash is back!...but at the same time im sad because both weekends of the beta are the days before my finals. I wish they were a week or two later, but all in all, good job Riot!
Definitely focus on those finals! Hopefully this is the first of many many Clashes.
Y'all gonna release it with similar fanfare as last time?
idk. That's not really my department.
I just want to congratulate Riot for all the internal work they have done and how far they have progressed in the past couple years or so, along with all these announcements and projects coming near completion. Nice work everyone, and thank you for making this game so enjoyable!
Thanks! It's been a long and bumpy road. Glad to see people hanging with us.
Why do I hear boss fight music playing for this Clash test
I am waiting for victory fanfare
Are these going to be in the aram pool as well?
Yep they will be
Hey, barging in here to ask if this weekend counts as regional testing or global beta? As from the /dev from may global beta would be the last step before launch (if it all works)
This is a regional test
Is there a chance that in future clash versions, you guys change the shedule of the start of games? My team always play 1 clash game and then we leave :(
Schedules are always in review. I would expect some variance when it comes out.
Can I make a couple of suggestions?
A) setup a way for players to register to look for clash teams by geographic locale. I think it would be fantastic if we could have city, neighboorhood, etc based teams
B) A dedicated Ranked 5s queue (not flex) for practicing with your team between tournaments
C) Team roster > 5, so substitutions can be made on the fly. Obviously everyone has to be invited before tournament starts, limited number of subs, etc but subbing without replacing players entirely would be nice.
Sure! Always down to hear suggestions. We have been looking at better ways in client to find teams and create rivals. Don't know if it will be in for launch but it's on the radar.
A dedicated practice queue is also in talks. If Clash remains popular, this is likely.
As far as substitutes, I don't know if we will bring them back. We don't want players changing between games within a tournament, and since we aren't doing 3 day tournaments anymore, subs is not really needed. We'll keep watching to see what people are saying, but right now it's unlikely subs will be back.
Is it all champions are unlocked? I thought it was "if a champion is owned by at least one player it's unlocked", which would make teams of 5 smurfs less likely.
Nope. All champions unlocked for everyone.
Can we get some additional info like this somewhere? Best way would be directly in client, before clash or during it.
It would be also nice to get additional info like what happens when you disconnect during champ select, can you restart client etc. My client today kept using 10-25% CPU by itself on 8 core Ryzen and I couldn't do anything. Everything was delayed and we ended up with having to play Diana support and Janna jg. We won but we should definitelly have some info what to do in cases like this. Or if we even can do something, like restart client etc.
Here is the FAQ which I believe is linked in the client

Just wanted to say that my friends and I had a blast playing the last tournament in our region(OCE) and can't wait for it to return. Thanks for all the hard work, clash is really a different experience that you can't normally enjoy with the more casual friends.
That's awesome. We had a blast playing in NA and it's great to see players finally having a good experience
Will this be the case when clash comes out of Beta?
Absolutely.
