Yeah something we missed on the article was denoting which ones were event tokens vs mythic essence. Currently having the article edited to reflect what currency will be required for each one.

Will these skins be obtainable through Mystic Essence? A lot of us have been saving them for specific champions, would be nice to know this in advance as well.

So someone in P4 now will most likely actually start "above" where they are because of distribution? Wonder if I can get emerald from placements...

I don't want to say yes or no because that depends on a lot of factors that aren't easily quantifiable from player to player in a reddit post, but "hypothetically" yes.

The best way to think about it is your distance from Diamond should stay the same. You'll just be doing it with some Emerald colors instead of Platinum.

No updates on the Essence Emporium atm. We're still working on it but don't have anything to share beyond Brightmoon's post a few days ago saying this:
"We should be able to update you all on this in the next few weeks! The team has just finished a lot of under the hood changes that will make the Essence Emporium more stable & less hand-coded for each one."

THANK YOU RIOT FOR BRINGING BACK THE PRESTIGE LIST.

Have no clue why y'all thought it was a good idea to stop. This is a lot better.

Since Akali is getting prestige again (which I don't agree with despite maining her) I wonder if KDA is coming back. Would rather a legendary so that Soyeon could voice her.

Funny enough when we started talked about bringing it back a few months ago we couldn't really find a good reason why we stopped doing it. We just kinda did? Seemed like a no brainer to bring it back after players were asking for it and then while we were at it figured we should do the same with the mythic shop.

Don't you feel promos added a bit of intensity? Doesn't this soften the ranked climb? Also how inflated will ranked get?

These are all non-issues imo, I think game ruining behaviour and the ranked team's delay on acting is what killed the prestige and aura of the ladder; now yall are playing catchup.

Yeah we feel like they did add intensity or excitement for some players, for others it was a very stressful moment. It was enough of a mixed bag to think about and evaluate it. Couple that with a reset in the year and it feels like the promos were something a player would be encountering too often. Climbing will still be climbing, you just won't potentially hit a wall because you have some bad times in promos.

For the inflation conversation its something the team is going to of course monitor closely and make any changes if we need to but we're pretty confident that it won't result in anything too detrimental or worrying. If we need to followup on this we will.

Game Ruining behavior is a bit more complicated and nuanced of a conversation because that's something handled by multiple teams working in conjunction with our Player Behavior team. We're always working on it but it's just not an easily "solvable" problem. What would you want to hear about or see related ...

the season I almost get diamond, thinking I'll get it next split, then they add a new tier. so I'm just gonna be grinding for emerald instead? weird asf, not a fan. lol

You should find yourself actually already in Emerald pretty quickly and be roughly the same distance you are from Diamond. The goal is to just add Emerald within the distribution, and adjust players based on the new scales with Emerald now in that equation. So if you're pretty close to Diamond now, you'll still be pretty close to Diamond after. Getting there is still up to you.

Appreciate the feedback. We're working on some fixes on our end on this.

Agree song is banger tho

Hey everyone! Recently there have been some issues impacting the ability to play Clash on some servers that was highlighted in this thread earlier this week.

Clash is played by some of the most engaged players, and it takes dedicated and planned time to play, and it sucks when the already-limited tournament time that you carved out is interrupted or even stopped by forces outside of your control. Some of you take time off work, coordinate busy schedules, and juggle personal commitments to find the time to enjoy Clash and we apologize for the frustrations these issues have caused.

Each of the Clash issues over the past 2 months has had a d...

One thing that concerns me regarding skins ported from WR is the possible difference in quality. Wild Rift legendary skins, for example, seem to have way fewer voicelines than on PC. And some WR-exclusive skins, like SG Orianna, seem to be simpler both in design and in splash art quality.

Gonna take note of some of these things to mention internally and try to make sure we cover some of these when its time to follow-up.

So which skins are off the cards then? (ie: exclusive instead of “debut on WR”) Any chance of Mythmaker Zoe making its way to PC in the future?

We honestly have no idea just yet which ones we might do other than the Star Guardian ones we mentioned. We picked those as the first ones because of just how requested they were.

If we figure this out and it goes well then maybe it will lead to more but we don't know for sure at this time. We could find out that this is actually really hard to do and maybe we should be more selective. We just don't know yet but either way you'll hear from us when we get there.

I complained when SG Xayah/Rakan weren't included in the last SG batch.

However, considering they will now be added, i have to thank them for listening to the feedback.

I've been a little more hopeful for the future of the game in the last few weeks compared to the beginning of the year.

It was actually always intended for some of the "Wild Rift Debut" skins to come over to League PC but it was a matter of figuring out the process and pipeline for it. Questions we're still working on answering actually.

I don't think we did the best at continuing to communicate that message to you all and it got sort of buried in the reactions of the moment that they were Wild Rift exclusive at the time. So the reaction you had is honestly on us there.

Grumbles in potentially delayed Aurelion update

Currently the Aurelion Sol Rework is not delayed so rejoice. He should still be hitting when we originally planned assuming things get all fixed in time.
Obviously things could change but right now he is safe.

Totally different subject, but I have some serious nostalgia for some of what might be considered "less popular" modes.

Specifically Nexus Siege, Ascension, and OG Doombots

Any chance of those ever being revived?

No idea on if/when those could ever be revived, but I can definitely say you're not the only player asking us for those as well.
The only thing I can promise you is that I'll let the team know there's still an ask for them!

Except like way after the timeline we'd expected it to arrive.

Honestly it's fair to call us out for not making this communication sooner, and in an ideal world we would have.

Truthfully, we had a longer form blog in the works that was also going to announce this a little sooner, along with some other things. However, with things shifting internally like new members joining the team, new leadership for modes, etc., we felt it would be best to wait a little bit longer so that a fully staffed and ready to go modes team could properly give the update that we want to give, alongside those members feeling like they're owning the direction they want to take the team.

Personally speaking, it wouldn't have felt great to have made that update, then have folks come in who are supposed to be in charge of what they want to do with something like modes, but being immediate constrained to promises or declarations made by people before them. It sucks to put us in this situation here where it feels like a late communication, but I feel like i...

Hey everyone, the team just finished working on this issue and we've come to the conclusion that we did indeed make a mistake. You are correct, if you played 70 games during this worlds pass compared to the previous one, you'd be down approximately 205 tokens. This is because we folded 5 weekly missions' worth of tokens (at 200 tokens each) into the rewards track rather than 6 weekly missions' worth.

It was an honest mistake due to navigating new challenges that came with our first New Pass experience and launching at Worlds. Excuses aside, we want to reiterate that we messed up and we're going to make it right. We're updating the Empyrean missions (launching in patch 12.21) to grant an additional 4400 Pass XP across those 10 missions. In other words, if a mission rewarded 300 XP before, it will now reward 740 XP. The total XP rewarded for all 10 Empyrean missions will be 8300 XP. That's the equivalent of another 11 pass mileston...

Hey everyone! Looking into this on our side to double check this because this was definitely not our intention. The worlds pass this year was supposed to have the same tokens as last years.

I'll follow up soon when we know what's going on.
