Next Clash is April 19th-20th and will be standard SR. We'll share the rest of the schedule soon (still nailing down an exact date or two)

That’s really thoughtful (and timely with how much discussion chests have gotten recently…)

Send me his LoL account name in a DM?

Will be in April, haven’t locked an exact date yet

Hmm, that’s probably just an unintended holdover from when it was a pass skin. I’ll follow up with the team, see if there’s another reason or if we just need to update that

There will be missions this act that let you earn a couple of chests via connection to the Honor system. Those missions haven't started yet. First one at least should be live in 25.6 next week

the thing i was most excited about ignoring all the recent negative stuff is TrueSkill 2, does ARAM every month mean that the team that was working on TrueSkill 2 is not not doing that anymore?

TS2 would fix so many things about league, not just feeling better about losing less LP/MMR when doing well but also its a incentive for the 0/3 toplaner to actually keep trying to win the game isntead of not giving a f**k anymore and going 1/16 cause he would lose a lot of LP/MMR, genuinely TS2 is the thing league needs most (other than imo voice chat but thats for another day)

TS2 test is still underway (figuring out how to still make sure that's covered that isn't at the expense of Clash). Don't have results ready yet, will still share them in an upcoming dev update.

Hopefully we get keys with them. They never answered that

You get keys with the pass and honor chests yes

In retrospect no, we agree they weren’t good enough for a pass either

I hope you keep the price of Jhin at 4444...

We did talk a little about Jhin and Vel’koz’s BE prices. Our thinking was that having higher prices for the sake of a small joke would feel bad and that lower price for them was more important. Open to change on that, but felt like the right thing for anyone who hasn’t unlocked them yet, especially since if they haven’t they often won’t even get the reference

Now watch them nerf chest drops into oblivion.

Chest contents will be the same as last year. Details on %s here if you scroll down a bit.

All fine but i have 1 very improtant question if pass tokens and honor capsule/orbs are removed and riot said that we can get hextech chest from honor so how exacly we are suposed to get keys specialy when this dev update said there will no longer be any key fragments just keys?

Chests will come with keys. For the pass chests, there'll be a key the level before or after (UI doesn't currently support giving chest and key on the same level node apparently, we'll change that but won't have it in for next week's patch). For honor chests, they'll just come at the same time through a mission (initially, will get a better distribution mechanism at some point that has more honor system connection)

One last note on Exalted skins. We’ll be making the promotional placement of Exalted skins less intrusive within the client based on your feedback.

u/RiotMeddler can you confirm if this is also planned to ship with the next patch? It's not mentioned in the video but it's included on the blog and I think this is quite huge news as well

Also, if you don't mind, could you clarify what's the current naming format for patches? Because the one that I have seen in some official posts is quite different to the initial one that was presented of Season.Act.Patch

Edit: Grammar and formatting

Exalted skins intrusiveness - next patch (25.5) we'll swap it so that the Sanctum isn't the default landing page. Longer term we'll then figure out what the best way to let people know a new skin exists is without shoving it so prominently at everyone.

Patch naming - at start of year we were trying 25.S1.1. Turned out to be a bit of a mouthful to say/write and felt forced. While we'd like the idea of making it clearer where in the arc of each season a patch was it was apparent it wasn't working in practice and was just an irritant instead. We swapped to 25.1, 25.2...25.4 etc to simplify.

6 acts. 10 per act. So up to 60.

I've stopped playing since chests were about getting S score in a match. How do you get chests with this change?

Play games and complete missions. Pass progresses. Chests are on free pass.

Regarding champ shards in chests, is there going to be some kind of compensation now that shards will be worth a lot less value? It was already bad enough as a long time player getting a champ shard that you had no use for, and now champ shards will feel especially bad to get in a chest if we're getting such a meager amount of BE back.

Goal is to not nerf the disenchant value on those shards. Short term it probably will go down, at least in 25.5, given it's tied to the champ's BE price. We'll decouple those though in a later patch (still figuring out exactly when that will land). Would recommend either disenchanting shards before 25.5 lands or holding them a bit until said later patch as a result

Hello Meddler, just wanted to ask if we will see an any updates to the Act 2 skins for Darius, Talon and Sion? And if so when can we expect it?

We've got a least a couple of tweaks coming in there. From memory that's includes at least Sion's armor needing to be more clearly armor (looks a bit painted on), Darius having a couple of animations that stretch a bit too weirdly and Talon's VFX (I think on ult?) needing some adjustment too. Unsure if those will land for next week's patch or slightly after though off the top of the head
