Quest skins looks really a interesting concept...
Maybe they are similar to Odyssey Ziggs which was obtainable by completing Odyssey quests during the event.
We'll talk more about how quest skins function in the moderate future, not quite ready to yet, though we do need to start testing the tech. Can share that it's not about how you acquire the skin though.
Sorry for invading this reply but does Zac have a future on TFT?
I asked a rioter in a TFT thread back in the first TFT version if Zac was gonna be added to TFT and he said he would like Zac to be added but 3 Sets later and we are still here with no Zac :(
I'm confident we'll eventually get every LoL champ into a TFT set. Some will take longer than others though if they don't line up smoothly with the set themes we're going for and/or what the traits within those themes need. Zac's going to be tougher than many to work in, though I'm confident we'll get to him at some point. Apologies for lack of any specifics there.
There was a "leak" about an upcoming Legendary skin for Camille. Is this at least close to be true or no?
Sorry, but we don't want to comment on leaks, whether real or fake. In both cases it just encourages behavior that undercuts fun surprises for those players who like those (either because they know what's coming or they get false hopes built up).
Is there a reason Nautilus was chosen to receive the worst and cheapest skin of the year?
Conqueror skins go through a separate assessment process to regular skins. Naut's still eligible for a regular skin based off how long it's been since his last one as a result.

That's probably just daftness on my part. I wrote ARAM automatically, I'll check with the team, it's probably not included though given as you say there's little agency and it would just dilute differences
Are these pick rates for SR or NB or both?
SR, NB and ARAM
100% agree, I came off as really dickish without giving a reason why I don't like galaxies. My apologies.
Thanks folks. I'm not too bothered regardless, but I appreciate the reflection and call out!
Eh maybe I'm too rude, thanks for asking.
The synergies seem a bit one note but that could be me. Their not all that interesting (like celestials or astros) and even an interesting one like star guardians, rebels or mech falls prey to big flaws like items (star guardians), kind of eh synergy between units (rebels). A synergy that also feels awkward battle cast, the units are really funky for this one.
Some patches the same comps also go top 4 with the same units in play like last patch with jarvan and jhin.
Got it, thanks for the rundown. I think the Celestials call out especially is very accurate and would agree item dependence undercuts interesting play a bit for some other comps. Battlecast I think was an interesting test, with some parts that work well and some execution issues.
With you on balance having had some rough periods with comps being narrow in 10.13 and 10.14 in particular.
I hope this means we’ll see higher quality skins for champs that haven’t gotten one in a while, but I’m also worried if play rate goes down they’ll just go back to not caring.
Side note, thank god galaxies is ending.
We're targeting good skins for a range of champs who've gone a long time without one this year. Some of those are out already, a number more are still to come in the second half of the year. We'll then do a review of some sort at the end of the year, talk with you folks about where we think we caught some champs up, what we missed etc.
tfw only the TFT news mattered to me
Thank god, galaxies kind of sucks. lol
What is it you don't like about Galaxies?
i'm a dum dum who can't understand graphs, is the surge for low play rate champs like kindred really that high?
Yeah, these are hard to follow the exact details on, especially without access to the tools directly unfortunately. In Kindred's case the number of people playing them has increased to 250% of previous values and the number of games per person is around 170% of previous values. A very substantial jump in overall engagement with them as a result.
Is it that the Morde ult needs to have its own new map to line up with the new NB map? Or is it that his ult could break certain events? Or both?
It's not a separate map, just some adjustments to his scripts so they also understand how to function on Nexus Blitz (he's already got scripting that accounts for SR versus ARAM for example)
1st time buying pass is it still 1650rp? and next patch is 22th right?
Yes and yes.
So is the event pass coming out on next patch?
Yes, Spirit Blossom kicks off next patch and will include an event pass.
Morde is likely because of the way his ult works with maps, no clue about Ivern except maybe his passive but afaik he currently just kills them like every other champ
Yep, Morde ult and Ivern passive. We'll get them working there, lot of other things that have had to come first though (overhauling a map's a big job!) hence they won't be in patch 1 at least.
I hope they get the advanced Tooltips in soon. I really like that and it feels better than having to go to the wiki to check things all the time
Lillia will be the first as mentioned. After that we'll be aiming to ship tooltip updates to multiple champs per patch.
Good, hopefully they find a solution that won't f**k over a ton of people who played 1 or 2 games of TFT. I don't see why they can't just make them a toggle-able feature for ARAM.
Yeah, in retrospect our proposed refund criteria were pretty off. Apologies for that, we should have identified clear issues internally.
In terms of next steps, we're still figuring out what's feasible, what meets player needs without screwing over other groups. Unclear right now what exactly that will entail. Could be modified functionality on ARAM but still visibile to everyone. Could be a better refund approach that's fair to people who've played some TFT and some ARAM. Could be some form of hiding LLs from many players on ARAM. Could be something else again. Details to come for discussion once we've got a revised plan together.
Can't make promises, but will be chatting with people about that one.
What's there to discuss? Just add a check box asking if player wants to get TFT mission notifications. It's not rocket science.
Actually, it's probably just as hard, considering we're talking about Client team.
Yeah, it's not about what we want to do, but about when it will be feasible to do it. And, as you note, the Client is not an easy thing to work in unfortunately.
What about oddissey skyline? As I can remember both oddissey and galaxy slayer zed was poppular(feels like every kayn and zed mains use this legendary skins), this skinline gonna have new ... skins? u/RiotMeddler
Odyssey's on our list of thematics to return to at some point.
At least seperate TFT and League missions, pretty please.
I tried TFT and never want to play it again but it keeps popping up in the missions tab.
I just want to see my League missions seperately.
Yeah, that's a fair call on the missions tab especially, that's not a good enough experience right now.
Can't make promises, but will be chatting with people about that one.
