First of all I don't think ability description lengths have anything to do with how simple or complex a champion is to play. Jhin has one of the longest ability descriptions in the game but I would consider him fairly simple to play.

Naafiri is meant to be the simplest Assassin in the game. In 2021 August made this complexity matrix and we realized we didn't have a low complexity Assassin or a High Complexity tank in the game. We made K'Sante to be a high complexity tank and Naafiri is meant to be a low complexity Assassin.

That being said Assassins are one of our higher complexity classes, so I wouldn't expect a Champion as simple as Garen or Annie here, but something closer to like a Master Yi (skirmishers also being a generally higher complexity class)

Sorry I meant the game modes team, not the events team. I edited my comment to fix it

PIE?

Anyway, not to rag on you but I hope the team (or whoever's in charge of comms) is aware of the massive loss of trust with regards to RGMs. Frequent broken promises, radio silence and total staleness. I know it's low on the priority queue, apparently in large part due to it being a money sink and not that popular with the broader playerbase, but alternate game modes have been left to rot for years, and as one of the players who really enjoyed them it sucks to see.

PIE is the personalization team, they make skins, among other things. The issues with game modes has not been a issue of them being a money sink or low priority. Towards the end of last year that team lost a lot of people, through either leaving Riot or moving to other teams. They lost basically their entire leadership team shortly before moving over to gameplay.

We staffed it up as quick as we could, through either hiring or transferring people from other teams as we believe game modes are still high value. That being said even when you add people to the team to cover the losses those people can't hit the ground running, they need to ramp up onto the team. That takes time. We basically had to cut everything except the ARAM changes the team was working on after taking the losses.

That being said the team is starting to ramp up and we are aware of the loss of trust with the team right now. We want to get a devblog out soon to let you all know what the team is up to.

The game modes team recently moved from PIE back to the gameplay initiative. We were re thinking the teams goals and mission back when these were recorded so didn’t want to discuss anything at that moment. We have since done that and should have an update on modes sometime early this year.

Wasn't that literally the point of Asol's last update with the removal of the toggle W? Even with this recent update, they're not doing it for Asol players, they're completely changing the gameplay identity of the champion just to make non-Asol players happy.

Asol was not a midscope he was a CGU

In Riot's class paradigm, a Tank is mostly defined by his role as either an engage-based CC-machine with lower damage (Vanguard) or a beefy protector with peel-based abilities (Warden). Thresh is mostly Vanguard with a bit of Warden, and in that sense he's very much a Tank.

K'Sante is a Vanguard that turns into a Juggernaut.

He is actually a warden that turns into a skirmisher temporarily with his ultimate

Hey Reav3 we were told to ask you about the Udyr color story. What happened with that? Please tell me he isn't gonna be stuck with his outdated old one that still features a tiger.

We are currently discussing how we want to do short stories going forward, and how they play into our greater story arcs, especially now that we have more teams the just LoL working in Runeterra's narrative. In the meantime we included all his relevant lore is his bio

Late game DPS. His late game is pretty insane tbh

Meh... Even if we don't know 1 skill, the kit synergies only with q w, and it's actually horrible as a thing. Standing still for do a rumble q... U can do better no? Should I expect something cool? I really love ASOL, and i love what u do. i don't lose hope. Your recent reworks are so good... Pls don't rush my ASOL, take your time. Please

I was intentionally showing dragon themed stuff in this video. His ult is very Star forger themed

Hey u/Reav3, hope everything is fine there! I came here to thank you guys in advance. It's probably going to be a non-white champion and I'm really happy to see that. As a person of color who grew up with virtually zero media representation, I insist on buying this new tank within the first week and mastering it ASAP.

I am very happy to see more diversity within this game that has helped me in such difficult times. Thanks! 💙

Thx! Better diversity and representation has been a big goal of champions team for the last few years now so it’s always great to hear from players when it matters to them
