Any idea on if they'll bring back Battle Academia skins? I imagine they did quite well.

I love how they never gave Battle Academia a chance. The majority of Katarina players in my games use her black chroma which looks really good and I see a lot of Graves players use his teacher one whenever I tune in a stream. Strange how it works.

Even sillier is how they are beating Blood Moon. Yeah, most of them look good but this years was fanfic tier.

This here is a very important point to which Riot needs to answer

Btw thank heavens LL are being removed from ARAM. Such visual clutter

They finally realized after poor sales of LLs for TFT. Now they will make better quality LLs

I hope they remove the LL egg from battle pass missions too then

They’re gonna talk about visual clarity and skins in the same blog post, but not mention how awful visual clarity OF skins has degraded over the last couple years?

Of course everyday players may not have problems but I play this game on again and off again repeatedly and every time I come back there are champions I can’t recognize that blast me with skills I’m not expecting because I think they’re someone else.

Even while I’m playing, dumb translucent sparkly effects harass me all day in ARAM because of how poor the visibility is. There’s no definition to these effects, and while it may be somewhat clear that something is flying towards you, it’s hard to tell what it is or how exactly large it is.

sad to hear about sugar rush, i'm very happy about evelynn skin and her chromas, braum's was really good too

I'm still pretty sad Pool Party Pantheon didn't happen. It'd match Leona and his ult would be really good for the effect- it looks like a big dive with wave effects already.

Hey man hope you've been well.

What are your thoughts on VALORANT like agent contracts for League champions?

Cheers :D

A lot of the information might be confidential given that skins are a big part of their day-to-day revenue, so they can only give vague descriptions and relative rankings instead of actual numbers.

Surprisingly interesting week from Meddler, the skin line stuff was very insightful to read.

Would be cool if they included a few more examples in there. I assume PROJECT is in the same category as Star Guardian, but would be interested to hear how other tech lines perform.

Please consider keeping them bigger. They were too small before and I love the change

This has to be a bug right? Wasn’t clarity something of a priority this season?

This is very intrusive 😕

You guys penalize on what the system can detect given whatever you've given it. The problem is once people see it and realize what it's looking for it's EXTREMELY easy to play around it. One thing I've seen more and more of nowadays is people AFKing in base, walking out for a min or two to attack/damage minions or champs, then going back. And they do this for 10, 15 + mins and don't get a "leaver" status for it. Seems like most anything that an automated system detects can be learned and avoided - which is why so much less hard flaming exists now and people instead soft int, troll, grief, etc.

Meddler what do you think of Yorick's current state?

Originally posted by PatentMTG

Have you guys considered hiring/consulting with psychologists on player behavior? I'm sure you could probably find some in academia that would be interested in helping you look at the issue from a different perspective. Just an idea.

I would really like you to consider short term/temporary bans from things like just ranked queues. Say someone is "auto detected" by a new system instead of jumping to a multi-day ban immediately, issue some kind of warning message and disable their ability to Queue into Summoner's Rift for a day then next maybe 3 days. It would be good if you included in these ban messages more than just how naughty these players are being.

Including in these messages something like statistics on players that keep positive attitude increasing rank and winning more games (because they are out there many of us have seen them). Encouragement to reform could also be effective is what I am saying.

Thank you very much for addressing this directly, ...

If they're going to be more aggressive with bans, I think they'll need to be way more lenient on pre-30 games. Can easily see a new player having a rough game and getting banned incorrectly. And new players will just leave the game after a ban like that - would be awful for player retention.

Originally posted by S0fourworlds-readyt

Nice to hear, I wouldn’t enjoy getting banned just for playing stuff that might not be meta at that given time. But as long as there are options like asking the support to revert a ban or so ( is that how it works? ), I wouldn’t mind getting falsely banned once or twice if that leads to less inting long term.

Out of curiosity, did you guys start prioritizing player behavior changes before Voyboy's video, since Brightmoon noted that that was one of the big trends that really ruined the ranked experience for players earlier this season
