It's a legit question! To be honest we weren't sure how much we should lean into a full seasonal event with gameplay and narrative content together. Would it feel too disruptive to the SR experience? In the past we've focused on doing one or the other, usually not both together (things like the Bilgewater event, Odyssey etc being outliers). Given the response to this seasons gameplay changes, and the overall player interest in more immersive storytelling, you can expect us to continue to go bigger on cohesive seasonal experiences in the future.

With its device fingerprinting, Vanguard also gives us a renewed opportunity to sink teeth into boosting, smurfing, and account compromise. We'll be able to revoke rewards boosters didn't deserve, get smurfs to their proper rating faster, and maybe even invalidate "unfair" premades. Ranked statistics won't be as poisoned by scripters, facilitating easier balancing of high risk-and-reward champions, and games ruined by cheaters can eventually be "undone," returning LP to those affected.

This kinda huge

This is something we're very excited to leverage as it helps the overall ecosystem even beyond reduced cheating

I am still very sceptical about this and will not update the game for a few weeks to see how it will work out and what experience will other players have.

That sounds like a very reasonable take

I'm glad you're having a good time! I also find the game lately to be the most fun I've had since S4 when I started. (and yes I'm going to just ignore the whole 13 accounts thing...)

  • Arena back with 8 teams of 2 (16 players total) to address team/fight variety

  • Prismatic items are supposed to be build-defining items

  • Items can be "gambled" for through anvils

  • PvE is "bullet hell" bullet heaven survival esque. Both for individuals and friends. Will be released during the mid-year this year!

  • Mastery is now based on individual performance instead of team performance, changing on 14.10.

  • Master titles are not split-specific

  • Lee Sin model is now different to be more consistent across skins alongside some tweaked visual/sound effects. Will be out on 14.9

  • Teemo is aimed for 14.20

  • Kog'Maw will be Split 1's Victorious skin. Sona will be for Split 2

  • Victorious border will be given to your skins at the end of the year if you get a...

Thank you for the kind words! I am feeling very sentimental/emotional about this being my last dev update but I am very excited to take a nice vacation :)

Hey. This is something I’ve been trying to get noticed at every dev update for about a year now. As you might know, these days when champions get added to Wild Rift with a new base splash, the new splash is added on League PC too, before they're even released on WR. However, some champions got updated WR splashes before Riot started doing that, namely Leona, Soraka and Nautilus, and it would be great if now those splashes were added too. Leona especially really needs it, cause she has the oldest base splash in the entire game.

You mentioned porting WR s...

We'll be taking another look at WR and LoR content that makes sense for League but I don't have a timeline for that yet

Skarner rework is not mentioned. RIP

I was worried we talk about Skarner TOO much but in retrospect I was wrong. Skarner will be on PBE in a matter of weeks not months so hang in there

Hey Riot Brightmoon I have a question well on the season video you can see the steam icon. Is this an announcement that league of legends will appear there? u/RiotBrightmoon

Sorry, nothing to report there I don't think that icon was mean to refer to steam

We'll get some more info about Linux for you all soon, it's not something i know the answer to off the top of my head and I want to make sure I talk with the team and get you the right info.

Great video, thank you for the amazing effort. Would you be able to expand on what Vanguard means for macos players now that it's being used for league as well?

Vanguard will not be required for Mac. The Mac ecosystem and OS is substantially different in ways that make us take a different approach for that system. If that changes in the future we'll reconsider

u/RiotMeddler what do the Vanguard changes mean for the minority of the Mac players? From my understanding it's incompatible with Mac systems.

Honestly super cool update to the mode. Very excited to see it back!

The team is continuing to improve and refine Arena and we're excited for you to give it another go! I know the question remains WHEN WILL ARENA BE PERMANENT .... and the answer is.... we don't know yet. We need to get it into a state where it maintains a strong level of engagement but I'm feeling really excited about this next iteration and we'll see if you all like it

Unrelated to the statement but shoutsout to Brightmoon. Seems like a really nice guy, the guy who becomes EP for League's got some shoes to fill.

That's kind of you to say - I love this game and this community and will still be around and cheering you all on. I look forward to introducing you all to the next EP soon!

No, yall dont. You have had MONTHS knowing about this. And waited till now to say anything.

Yall promised transparency and to be proactive, not reactive earlier this year. This is none of that.

I completely agree we should've talked about this earlier
