Pengu's Party was the 5 year anniversary mode, so you can expect to see it in 5 years!

(This is a joke! We'll see when/if it comes back :) )

On the same note, last I had a chance to use it, it did not work properly on both Sydra and Morgana. It’s basically a teemo-only item right now

Works on Morg for sure.

In this incredibly unlikely scenario, the game simply goes "no valid pull, roll again"

No, the amount of champs in each tier doesn't impact the initial roll. The system always first rolls for what tier to grab (so 20% chance for 4 cost at Level 8), then goes and grabs randomly from the available champs in that tier.

Hey folks. Mort here with what is going to be the nerdiest game design post you’ll see in a while, but I wanted to share it with you. Generally in all aspects of life, even if you’re confident in something, it’s helpful to double check your biases and make sure you’re actually correct or not. So that’s what I did.

We’ve all seen posts where a player rolls down 50 gold and doesn’t see the uncontested unit they’re looking for, heck you may have even been on that end yourself (sorry, but wait for the punchline). Sometimes, this experience can be so stark that you’re concerned with the reliability of the system. Could this be bugged? I can’t really be that unlucky—is something wrong with the game? Now, my initial reaction is that this is a common thing called “confirmation bias” where a recent experience is being weighted more heavily. This, in conjunction with negativity bias, where negative experiences are seen to have a higher impact, become the fuel for many “Mortdogged” ex...

Lowest B tier probably

  • B: Piltover(9), Lagoon(7.5), Shimmerscale(7)

I feel like we were sett up for success

Most of these were in dev, but cut for various reasons. For example, the Shen one didnt add a support item to the champs on carousel, it REPLACED THE COMPONENT with a support item...so if you were last place waiting for a bow...GG.

What does Riot want us to do?

A) Don't pick Wandering Sentinel if you dont want that to happen
B) Accept that Top 4 is a win and some games you can't get 1st
C) Have stronger mental that every game you don't win doesnt need a reddit post

:)

False

Something that helps here is talk about comps you wished worked that don’t.

Attack Speed does have a cap at 5. Multiple rageblade just gets there faster.
