THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I love how super friendly and communicative you are with the community. I get really upset when I see people being aggressive towards you and other Rioters.

Thank you very much for the information, I am very happy with the news, I LOVE Karma, I am very happy to see my skin tone more represented in the game.

Hello Reav3, is there any chance for burly or bearded champions like Graves?

Is there a chance for more Indian or darker skinned Asian representation from Ionia?

Karma is still the only dark skinned Asian representation in League.

I know it's not the most popular representation but I'm just surprised its not talked about.

With Neeko its mostly her accent(The same actress does both the Brazilian and English Voice Lines for her)

How does that translate in other languages, that might not have a stereotype about Brazilian (hence, wouldn't recognize an accent)?

TIL Neeko was based on Brazilian culture. She doesn't really feel like she has any culture at all.

But then again, I'm Brazilian and she's my Champion with the second highest Mastery lol.

Honestly 1 champ every 3 years is not very good even if you are going to do more. You know, we have like 4 black characters (no I'm not going to count stuff like azir) and that's still pretty low. But you have an entire empty region and one character who's Latina lol.

And like, it can't hurt with your player bases in Brazil etc.

It would be cool if you did a few in a row as an ixtal story similar to the current shadow isles story. I get why you would lean on the stories people already care about first, but even 2 in a row and fleshing out the region would be great for us lore nerds and your own representation goals

Pls, as a Latino myself we absolutely HATE Latinxs. We generally don't care if you simply write Latinos to talk about both womans and mans.

For future reference don't refer to a race without using the appropriate wording.

For reference of my own race;

Native American not American Indian.

First Nations =/= Native Americans.

Pls don’t use Latinx lol

With the modern emphasis on Humans inspired from other cultures like Samira/Viego, is there any plan to return to Ixtal in the near future?

The region has a lot of Meso-American inspiration and offers a pretty unique blend of various cultures that I feel isn't fully explored through just the existence of Qiyana, and I was hoping to see more given how long it has been since the region took the spotlight or even had an associated champion released.

If we can't get more creature champions...can we get more 'monstrous humanoids' then? Rito pls.

I thought it was pretty clear but looking at the comments it seems as though you might need to write jot notes instead of rationale to get the point across more easily.

I have a question though, how do you measure engagement and how do you decouple it from strength within meta/between patches/regions and regional metas.

I hope we can get at least 1 monstrous champ each year (from either humanoid or creature). I guess the thing about humans representing humans seems obvious to people but in fact it happens in others IPs. Makes me wonder, are we going to see an Aztec inspired champ that could fit in Ixtal?

And while Runeterra isn’t Earth—so our goal isn’t to make champs that perfectly reflect real world locations—we have made a stronger effort to make champions inspired by regions everywhere. We want all players to be able to see themselves in the games they play, and League champs are no exception. This is something we’ve become really passionate about on the Champions Team, which you’ll see reflected in some of our recent (and upcoming) champions. For example, Samira was inspired by Persian culture, Viego by conquistador-era Spanish culture, and so on. To do good cultural representation though, you almost certainly need to make humans, or at least champions that are close enough to humans that people can relate to and identify with them. So this is another reason we’ve been doing more humans recently.

Not sure if any Rioter will read or answer this comment, but there have been a vocal minority that are bitching about Irelia looking Asian outside t...

Yea, I'm not buying that at all. Everything is about revenue.

Did they just acknowledge that they f**ked up with Aurelion Sol's kit?

And the whole article just feels like a big excuse to justify "Human champs are hot and sell more" without saying it outright tbh.

Shen's voice over? Are you certain? I'm comparing a video of his voice from 2012 and the current voice files listed on the wiki, and they're identical. If you updated his VO, it was extremely minor. VGUs have typically revoiced the character entirely with brand new dialogue altogether, such as the difference between old Morgana and new Morgana.
