They're not going anywhere right now. I say right now because at some point (ideas thrown around, nothing yet committed) we might go through and overhaul how we present lore stuff like that on the web. Current focus though is on getting the content and consistency right internally however and figuring out where that should be reflected in different games/other experiences, before looking at supporting channels like Universe

Obligatory note - there will still be some of the restricted chromas (League Partner program etc) that aren't emporium eligible regardless, so still won't be included, even if the full eligible range is.

Edit: As pointed out below, the LPP chromas are actually available just at a higher price than regular chromas. If you could pretend I'd used a better example that's actually restricted that would be much appreciated...

Arcane is canon. League is also in that same canon.

I mean, it's not just some random Aatrox image that got accidentally copy/pasted into that exact moment if that's what you're asking...

Camille - yep, we'll definitely get her integrated into things. Still figuring out details, but confident we can make her feel a part of the cohesive whole

Viktor - I mean, can't spoil anything for Season 2 of course, but certainly more Viktor development to see. As per the larger lore conversation here we're also not going to be just picking one existing portrayal and forcing everything to move towards that, it's about doing adjustments where needed to get a cohesive whole. If that means some tweaks to game Viktor are needed, in ways that are still consistent with the core of who he is of course, definitely open to that too

Planning on filming next week! So should be ready to post sometime mid October ish

If you don’t own the champion in question already you can’t buy a skin for them. Your Shop will therefore add RP for the champion to the total and you’ll get both champion and skin

Right now the damage scales with your max HP, which means it synergizes really well with champs who stack health through their kits (Cho and Sion for example). Moving to bonus HP from items scaling would let us balance it around a wider range of champions, rather than it having to account for kit based health stacking and being significantly weaker on those without it

That's the intent here. We were already kind of getting into a 'season start patch has meaningful gameplay changes' pattern beforehand, so there was like preseason 0.5 in November and 1.0 in January effectively. Trying to condense and then do really fast balance/meta follow ups through both hot fixes and the next patch or two post season start.

Currently in testing. Aiming to keep it, though looking to have it be less bound to particular champ kits and more bound to builds. So something like moving to bonus HP scaling from items only or whatever.

Not forgotten about. Apologies for the lack of recent discussion, it's a larger Riot topic in terms of how we're approaching the IP and storytelling generally, so not something Brightmoon and I can just cover by ourselves. Hoping to share some thoughts on it sometime later this year potentially but can't guarantee anything.

Current plan (could change) is Rocket Belt is still around, keeps the dash, loses the MS towards target

^{^} TFT's a reasonable reference point for how we're thinking about a lot of this. Not exactly the same of course, given solo versus team game and amount of content a TFT set replaces. But that sort of speed of ranked climb is closer to what we're thinking than the really drawn out gradual climbs of a full year

Current plan is a 4 or 6 week (TBD, still shuffling various things around) run starting December. Still very interested in getting it to a potentially permanent state someday. Current belief is getting it to a good permanent state will require more than just the sorts of smaller adjustments that would go into a regular patch, hence the bring it back with large updates iteration approach here.

Edit: Updated to reflect could be 4 or 6 weeks, I spoke too quickly

Not today, I think we've got an update tentatively scheduled for our next video though, will follow up

It's possible, though we've had some content (e.g. Runes Reforged) on PBE for extended periods in the past without major fatigue issues once stuff's live. Most players don't engage much with PBE content, so the hope is this leaves gameplay changes feeling a lot fresher at season start for most players

Tournament of Souls - we feel this one went quite well overall, and really happy with things like this as alternatives to the visual novel format that was feeling played out previously. Technical issues are the exception though, while it worked well for most players it struggled or simply didn't function for others, which is definitely something we'd want to do a lot better at for whatever's next in this vein

Ionia themed map

Oops, thanks, teach me not to check my posts...

In case it got missed - Mythics as a special item type with associated restrictions are gone. Some of the mythic items themselves are removed, others are being made into regular items instead so will still be around

As in Will it run Doom? I mean, ignoring for a moment all the intellectual property issues that would create and the amount of work that could be going elsewhere for LoL, damn would I really love to see someone try
