Oh it's definitely not a sauce that refrigerates well, the vast majority of cheese sauces should really be 1 and done imo

I really do agree a good alfredo is tasty as hell. I also think nerfing irelia is a tasty idea as well.

LPT: Irelia mains usually can't read very well, so when you see them about to dive you can just ask them a question in all chat and they'll get stunlocked for a few seconds trying to read.

Ikr. When people aren't dumping cheese into an alfredo like... why even have alfredo at that point.

As a person who always cook pasta like an Italian grandmother, I agree. Give it a good boil and put thr ravioli in there and wait a few minutes. Once squishy take it out and you're done with pasta.

Also how do you feel about chicken alfredo?

While not authentic at all a good alfredo (with plenty of garlic) is tasty as hell, but by god people use crusty ass dry chicken breast way too often in that dish.

If you get it to a good rolling boil the water should usually just stay boiling.

Honestly though, you should probably just check doneness by pulling a ravioli out of the water and nibbling on a corner, pull it out when it's still a bit tough to your teeth and finish it in a nice sauce for optimal flavor though.

Any comment on the weird revert of Pantheon Q range changes? Was it a bug and will it be fixed with b or 13?

Could you explain what you mean by ‘axes’ when talking about bursty champs?

A little worried the good work of 12.10 is going to be undone.

Like the plural of axis, so non-burst changes (at least in part) on a lot of them

Any plans for Sion? Champ is struggling pretty hard recently.

Are you building tank? Champ's a tad weak imo but if you check first item lolalytics his winrate kinda tanking from bausffs wannabes (leth/ad is fun tbf)

Sunderer adjustment helps him a fair bit too I'd bet

Patch after I'd bet, we were experimenting with some larger sized changes is why he's taking longer than expected.

I wonder if its just oversight but Sivir appears to be missing but her current mid-scope update is being iterated on the PBE.

Sivir will be 12.13 im 99% sure, I think we just missed her here

No this is almost certainly based on live data, over 48k swain games have already been played in ranked alone excluding the Chinese playerbase. Riot has more than enough data by now for each role and elo bracket to make this hotfix from live data. PBE data is not reliable enough to pre-emptively make meaningful balance changes and Riot wouldn't make a champion intentionally weak to hotfix later.

yep

Obivously it will not change soloQ or BO1 draft but the second case can be solve if you know what i mean

These kinds of changes are super exciting for me, could do all bans are permanent or whatever too.

Complexity of draft is very dangerous and something that we'd have to be very careful of. (If draft is super fiddly and complex the pro game gets really hard to understand for most ppl, etc)

This is a space we've thought about a fair bit on our end, what's the best way to incentivize/assist pros in innovating?

Maybe it's figuring out a way to give potent tools for practice, maybe it's draft format changes, maybe it's changing the pace of pro-focused balance changes, could be a ton of other things. I don't think the solve is easy nor is there likely any single solution that solves it, but I'd love if this conversation was kept alive. Pro play is at its coolest when there are constant new champions and constant evolution.

I do think the costs to innovate are decently high right now, and rewards for innovating can be kinda low. Regular season means the temporary advantage you get washes out after a few games and bans means the actual advantage you would gain turns into one free ban for your team. I would expect middle of the pack teams in regular season games to innovate though, you shouldn't expect to win by playing the same meta against a team that's mo...
