A lot of people have been saying they’d prefer for older champions to be retrofitted to be in line with modern league both visually and in gameplay, so hearing that they might just scrap the Malphite visual update is really disappointing. So many champs need model updates and Malphite is reasonably popular compared to some of the worst offenders like zilean and corki. Just feels like the players who enjoy the older characters are being left out to dry

I don't like idea merging Champion Roadmaps with Dev updates. Roadmaps have more flavour and a lot more insights and info than one tiny segment in dev video

Where's Aurora info? No champion roadmap is really disappointing. The hype and the hope of future champions coming out that might become your favorite is a massive part of keeping up excitement for the game IMO.

I think they said she'd be a toplane fighter when they revealed she's coming to league, though I may be misremembering.

They gave Faker a backup that was undamaged for him to display.

Helloo Meddler, sorry to bother you, is the new lol dev video coming in May or a bit later this time (since Riot Brightmoon did his last video last time)?

if it was on console I might try it

I can't play games with a touch screen on a phone or tablet, it's just a horrible experience imo

Hey, appreciate you engaging, although in their defense the people may be right and there may be limited utility in doing so in my case. I feel like frequently the things that I enjoy just aren't the things that League is targeting anymore. It could also be that I've just been playing too long, but here we go...

It feels like League is creating more ways to engage with a smaller number of people (I get in Arena you and a friend can hop on and you only need two, not five, so you can get your squad together easier) but I feel like that reduces some of the volatility that is required to keep the game balanced on a macro level and reduce the amount of a solved problem that it is. When you reduce the number of champs, it reduces the volatility, and you need to introduce it somewhere else otherwise it just becomes blackjack and you're playing the .5% favorability between the few meta comps.

However, increasing volatility through more different choices by other players fee...

I'm someone who never found arena very fun, mainly due to the teams being 2 players.

I really want summoner's rift, with bans, with the same acceleration as OFA and spellbook. Faster levelling, movement, etc. I just want quick fun league like aram but pick your champ with bans.

I wish they would stop wasting time on stuff like this and make something fun.

Hey Meddler do you guys have any concerns about the extended Arena run competing for engagement with the PvE mode, given it'll be out for an entire split, or are you guys taking that into account when evaluating both modes

Only one new map, interesting. Does this mean there will be duplicates of some maps? As I understand there would be up to 8 2v2s happening at once now and I think there are only 5 (?) arenas. Or are there more new arenas that they just didn't reveal?

Overall super cool changes, can't wait to try out this new arena, especially the new item system!

Oh God, seeing Riot in front of your name is terrifying. For those who missed the ama five years ago, I met Norak very early in leagues life when he was a cheeky little Aussie kid. Now he's just a cheeky little Aussie dude.  To answer your question, Peter Jackson. 🍿

Aren't you worried that increasing the number of teams in a match is gonna negatively impact matchmaking?

With the Skarner update making the brackern unrelated to Hextech, will Camille and Seraphine's bios get updated? I know Riot isn't focused on universe and written lore so much anymore, but I feel like at least their biographies shouldn't be non canon... Maybe after Arcane s2 at least?

Can a rioter confirm why Arena keeps being a temporary game mode?

Originally posted by violue

some of these devs are distractingly expressive with their hands.

also I didn't know there was once a whole ass Star Guardian game mode and I am devastated to have missed it.

Oof, hopefully I am not late this time. 🙏

In case any of you kind Riot people read me, I would like to ask if there are any plans to update the champion classes in the game's client, to provide more accurate information.

The class system has remained in its outdated state to this day, even though Riot has moved into the newer and more accurate class system proposed in 2017 (the one that has subclasses like Enchanter, Juggernaut, etc.) Having the new class system in the game's Collection and Store tabs would help a lot to reduce ambiguity.

Currently, we still have the old one with the more generic classes (Fighter, Support, Assassin, etc.) that very often confuse people (e.g. "why does a tank do so much damage?" when referring to juggernauts like Darius.)
