I've counted "We'll talk about that in the next update" at least three times, and I'm only at 3 minutes.
Seriously. Why bother? Why start with "We're going to answer your questions", and then not actually answer the questions?!
Other option was to skip this video and just wait until the next one (around a month from now most likely). We concluded even if we couldn't give specifics yet on some stuff it was better to stay in the habit of talking regularly and answer what we could.
Will you also talk about what we can expect from the anniversary? It's good to know about the rewards and stuff, but what I'd like to know is if there will be any news about the IP. Series, movies, big changes to the game... I understand that you can't go into details, but it would be cool to know if you're cooking
Focus will be just celebrating LoL and its community, not on any big reveals. So some rewards, some light stuff to engage with, bit of reminiscing and general discussion. No big reveals or wider Riot news though
does she get 3 swords?
4
I wonder if they saw that thread a few weeks back complaining about skinlines...
We did and yeah, that's one of the reasons we wanted to touch on this topic. Some of this discussion was planned regardless, some got added in response to ongoing conversation
Great format! Nice to have just some standard questions answer instead of focusing on one or two topics. These are good to break up the normal dev updates but shouldn’t replace them.
Excited to see the new modes information. From the outside, it seems swarm was really positive. I’m hoping to see either a permanent mode added or an emphasis on cooperative modes that allow a more collaborative environment instead of a competitive one
Thanks for the feedback on the format. We'll probably do this approach again occasionally if we don't have enough regular content. Unlikely to be a frequent thing and certainly not a replacement for stuff we'd otherwise talk about
Calling off the duo.
Like we're eligible to duo anyway
Sorry to everyone who doesn’t play Zeri, Swain, Diana, and Caitlyn on the prestige front. That said 3 of those are my most played champs across all accounts and another sign that Riot has clearly been listening to me specifically.
In case you were wondering we made the call after Vanguard gave us all your fanfiction about them
Clearly her name has to be spelled Ytwomi with a silent Y to match her brothers Yasuo and Yone, otherwise this is irreparably immersion breaking. Don't f**k this up Riot
I was thinking Ytwoaami with the two 'a's being silent but highly important lore wise
Read moreThose masteries are looking great, Im glad y'all took player feedback into account. From the video, my feedback would be:
The orange gem for M9 should probably be brighter to pop a little more.
The Gem for M7 does look a little off and might benefit from being either a touch bigger or a touch higher or both.
Mastery 9 and 10 could have one more set of 'wings', in the old system, m7 was extremely distinct because it had so much extra wing. Also I think the shield getting wider looked really good on the older ones, 9 and 10 here look visually a bit smaller.
I don't know if the sound is getting changed, but the metallic ring of the old system was extremely impactful compared to the glassy sounds they have. To be clear the glassy noises are not bad, but I think for M8-10, the sound could be a bit longer with the metallic ring sort of 'punching' through at the end.
I don't know what particles will be associated but those gems best be shining with their coloured ...
Detailed notes appreciated, will make sure the team see them.
Surprised they're bringing back honoring opponents, given how, iirc, this was removed as people used it to flame the worst performing member of the enemy team. Are there structures in place to prevent this or is Riot just letting it rock?
I'm not sure if people using it to flame poor performers was a major part of our decision to remove it at the time (I wasn't very involved with the prior changes).
If it was though I think that was us over focusing on an occasional negative use case at the expense of the much more common positive cases
TLDR: If true, we were wrong
Yo an Azir skin
I look forward to once again deciding that maybe I can learn Azir after all, doing atrociously for a dozen games and then going back to less mechanical champs.

The risk of being pretty out of date is why we tend not to talk much about current balance/state of meta in these videos. So often whatever we could talk about at time of filming is either an old issue, still unfixed, or has evolved since we recorded.
Auto fill changes got pushed to patch 14.17, so will go live next week
/u/RiotMeddler would you have any updates on the integration of TrueSkill2 to League's matchmaking system? As well as the Client Cleanup Campaign, its been a very long time since we heard the current state of the client.
We'll be talking about our matchmaking thinking and plans in the next dev update.
Nothing major I can share on the client, though we'll definitely be getting rid of a lot of the current notification ping spam shortly
We filmed end of last week. Aiming to have it live late next week. We deliberately vary the time between them based off how much we’ve got to go over (likely a shorter gap between this coming one and the next one after that which should be in September)
Read moreYeah, but keep the mystery for LeBlanc on only 3 layers please
We dont want anxiety around characters we think is LeBlanc
If everyone is suspiciously LeBlanc, it would ruin the series
Imagine Vi touching Caitlyn, but Caitlyn is LeBlanc
You thought it was Cait, but...
Kinda feel like you're arguing for both sides of the debate at the same time here...
An update here, assuming I'm interpreting the question correctly - Pakistan should be very much supported as part of the new server overall. There is a specific custom keyboard giveaway that's limited to certain countries though, which some countries aren't eligible to enroll in unfortunately (physical giveaways especially come with a lot of extra complications).
I love how even the higher ups at riot still talk and interact with the community.
Have a great day man.
Thank you, you too!
Not sure that’s intentional. Will follow up with the team running this process, see what’s up
Huh, I thought the 1 versus 3 star UI was pretty clear. I guess we could make that a bit more obvious, ensure confusion like this doesn't happen again!
Could bro not say bullet hell 😭
Happy to say bullet hell, bullet heaven's getting used when discussing some games that are an inversion of the bullet hell pattern though. Instead of having to dodge a hail of missiles you're instead the one putting out said hail of missiles.
