Hey there! Thanks for the feedback! We've heard this a bit since dropping the exclusive emotes, and we're definitely working on a solution that still feels good for the next release. There are a number of exclusives we're dropping in the tournament that we're pretty sure no one has yet, so keep watching for those! Also, thanks for reaching out and letting us know how you feel about it, it helps us work on ways to keep growing and making it better.

Thanks! Yeah, Drops were running for LCS, LEC, LCL, TCL, LLA, and EU Masters. All of them had different programs, and some were more generous than others. LCS only did a couple drops in North America, which could explain a lot of that.

Thank you very much! Thanks back at you for being a fan!

I'm glad you're liking the EM drops! We're definitely keeping an eye on how it does so we can learn more. :)

That's a pretty excellent reason. :)

Nice! That makes sense! Definitely will look into that, thanks for the feedback!

If I hate anyone, it's usually myself for not being a better support in Wild Rift. :) Globally, there were quite a few fans who liked the playlists, which where exclusive to the event last year. Having said that, we're not dropping any playlists for the MSI event this year.

Sorry to hear that. We know we made mistakes, and we fixed a ton of them as we've moved forward. We decided to try and bring something fun to lolesports.com last year during the pandemic and while also working with teams to get our other new games into everyone's hands. A big chunk of that was learning from you all on what was a hit or a miss on our part, like some of the rewards, so we did away with quite a few things and tested out some of the new things with our regional leagues (LEC & LLA come to mind with what they did over split one).

If you would rather not watch on lolesports.com, you don't have to. It's optional, but I love having you watch anywhere you love, because at the end of the day I'm a fan of professional League of Legends and just want to know i'm catching the cool stuff with fellow fans, be they on our site or whatever. Every split and event we work to make it better, or different, or solve an issue. The team and I love it, and we haven't stopped trying...

Yep! We're really hoping to get those icons and emotes to as many people as possible, but the drops decide. :) We also hope everyone gets both the icon and emote of the "set", but again, the drops decide.

Thanks for being a fan! We're just here to add a little more fun to the events. :)

Maybeeeeeeeee??!!?? ;D

Interesting! Why 2014? Also, I can look into maybe adding some...when we did the Worlds Anniversary capsules last year at Worlds, we included some of the vaulted and legacy icons from 10 years of pro LOL. We didn't really want to keep going there for drops, but if you all like those things we'll keep looking into it!

We're focused on lolesports.com at the moment because we can do quite a bit more there (with the art and all that). I hear you, though, as someone who personally prefers to have a good game of lol eating up the whole living room on a TV. :) You can use Chromecast to cast from your PC to a screen, which isn't the easiest, but it has worked for us in the past. We are looking at some things to help the couch potato in all of us, just couldn't make anything happen in time for MSI.

Thanks! Yeah, the Pentakill one felt especially bad because we legit had a failure and it didn't go, and it didn't help that it was a SUPER RARE HYPE moment, which was EXACTLY why we made drops in the first place during a once-per-century pandemic. :( We were all super bummed out about it but happy to have been able to get it to everyone regardless.

Hi! We have to make and localize every drop so that everyone can see them in a number of countries and streams, so we usually make them up ahead of time and then trigger when they happen. Do we know? Nope, not at all! We use stats to decide which moments are likely to happen, then we pick a whole bunch more based on the performance of the teams as the games go on, and there you have it. We're not dropping any digital items this time (playlists, wallpapers, fankits) and instead worked up a little menu of other in-game stuff we're giving away to a percentage of fans watching every day.

Also, you mentioned the leagues! Each league who was running a drops program had a different plan. LEC, LCS, TCL, LCL, LLA, & EU Masters all ran drops in split 1, designed in-market by those teams for their fans based on their fans feedback. They then shot us that feedback and results to help make this MSI program feel inclusive of all the leagues battling it out. So, every time we do a drops t...

Hey there! Long time no chat! I wanted to answer a couple notes I saw so far! I'm on the drops team, so here it goes!

• Drop Tech - Yeah, we had some issues last time, and I would be insane if I didn't say we all take every error pretty seriously and work around the clock to fix it up. No excuses, just know the MSI drops team cares about this a ton and we tweak and fix everything we can as fast as our little fingers can carry us.

• The Rewards - We've heard you all and are dropping some more valuable stuff on a more randomized basis. Log in and you'll likely have a chance at scoring Hextech chests, skins, champion shards, or mystery skin tokens. We're also dropping several MSI-exclusive icons and emotes, along with a couple of exclusive ones for watch missions (we do that thing too!) so you should walk away with a few ways to flash an emote during a game of LOL or TFT.

• The Moments - We leveled up the team and brought on someone to h...

Heya. I am sorry about that...we were trying to tie up a few loose ends and make sure we captured everyone, and sadly we forgot to let everyone know until we could get it working. Hopefully getting it late was still okay.

Hey everyone! We had a glitch with the Penta drop at Worlds so we had to re-drop it. You should see it in your drops page if you were logged in, opted in, and watching on lolesports.com at the time. I also wanted to say that we're listening to your feedback and hear you. While there are reasons for the challenges we had, we ultimately wanted to make something fun for Worlds during an unprecedented time and we're going to make some changes for the better moving forward. I can't thank you all enough for being part of the professional LOL scene this year and I hope we see you again for All Stars and beyond.
