Appreciate you posting this. Did it happen after you used your ultimate and Fiora possibly used W to block it? That's what my guess is and I'll look at it Monday :)

There are multiple "Rito" accounts on different servers (seems like every server has/had one), but none are Riot-flagged accounts - no Riot Rito, sadly. Pretty sure that Riot Rito Riot wouldn't work though, because I don't believe you can have Riot in your base summoner name anymore (Riot employees can add it in front of theirs ofc, but anyone else would have been prompted to change it at some point).

Similar to the RiotRiot example I mention below, most Rito accounts were created years ago, as you might expect with any popular name (like "Lilith").

It was more a joke :P But I do appreciate the knowledge share!

Rito would be a bit confusing too haha

No but this is a solid idea. Maybe Riot Rito Riot... thinking of future ideas :P

I'm not an expert on the topic, but I don't think there's much (if any) policy around "similarity of Rioter names." There are at least two Riot Penguins, and probably a variety of other similar and/or exact match Riot names. Situations where that matters just don't really come up (the only situation I can think of was some humorous confusion around which Riot Penguin was being referenced in a random normal game I was playing).

I think there are only a few rules for rioters on names.
You can't steal names. I can't change my Riot name to Riot Faker or Riot Sneaky.
Can't be inappropriate. (Not going to give examples, y'all know!)

Hell there's no rule in having Riot in your name if you work at riot.

I didn't mean we'd have 1000 pieces in the game haha. I meant when we are deciding what sets to do, how many pieces, if we only looked at champions we'd have 140 options. When we look at champions plus skins we have SO many more.

Have you guys considered a banner system for the upgraded units? Almost similar to how our ranked armor works but as some kind of hovering icon/base for the champion.

We've looked at a bunch of things. I do not know exactly what you mean by banner system.

That's honestly a pretty terrible reason when units having a different look when upgrading is such a large part of what makes this type of game fun. Going right back to it's origin as a pokemon dota mod. I hope some serious reconsideration is put into that especially since you only need to use 2 skins + base per unit not all of them.

I don't think you're wrong when you say it's a part of the game that is fun. I do not believe that it has to be a certain way. It's something we are looking into, we aren't locked into 1 thing forever, we will iterate, look at feedback and go from there.

Thanks for the reply! Not sure if you can share, but any plans to make the pieces look different rather than just larger? It takes some of the power feeling away imo

So right now, we have gold tint to them, the health bar is different and they grow bigger. Now, saying that if it is STILL an issue, there is always options for us to pivot and change how we show them. But that's what we have right now, let me know tomorrow when you see some active new gameplay how they feel.

If anyone from the team is reading this, great job and great start. However please please please make it so upgrading a character uses a skin. This is my biggest feedback atm.

Hey there! The reason we didn't do the skin thing was so down the road, we could add a trait of Star guardians or Frozen and use the ice skins. It gives us like 1000 pieces to work with instead of just 140 pieces to work with.

yeah for sure, excited to see what your take on auto chess is. Any chance it's coming to the pbe this week?

I don't actually know if we're released the timeline yet. So I'm going to hold off on that question :P

Could you explain why you made that decision? Getting a 3 star in dota auto chess isn't an every game thing, with less units in the pool it could become even more frustrating :/

I'd wait to play it a bit before we get worried about pool size. We aren't trying to block 3 star units, we want people to get them :P Give it a shot first and then let me know how it feels.

so wait, is it a 1v1 mode? what do the other people do? I'm not exactly familiar with this autochess genre

It's an 8 person FFA. Certain rounds you'll play against other people's armies and if you win, you do damage to their health pool. Once they reach zero they are out.

Huh, that's actually interesting. Does that mean that units get more scarce if more people pick them up like in Auto Chess?

Yup, pretty much the same. I think we're a little more limited then auto chess.
