Thanks! A lot of it has been going back and forth with asking the devs questions so we can be more clear around specific points.

For example, with Tryn last patch it was obvious +50 range would be a hot topic so we tried to tackle the question "why exactly are we buffing Tryn with 50+ attack range and how do we explain this in a way that will make sense to players and shows that we believe this will be the best direction for Tryn going forward?"

Some people will always disagree with us, but the least we can do is provide some insight for players that want to try and understand where the team is coming from.

Also having a team of incredibly knowledgeable devs like u/phroxz0n and ...

Hey there, I'm sorry about the incorrect information that made it into the patch notes recently. I do my best to make sure everything that goes into the notes is accurate, but i'm only human and sometimes I do make mistakes. When I realize there are issues I try to correct them ASAP, but obviously players that read them immediately on release still see the incorrect information.

I am working to make sure these issues become less and less frequent and eventually disappear altogether though, so I hope you'll continue to read the patch notes.

This was indeed written a week ago. We generally have to lock everything ~1 week in advance in so it can be translated globally

Hmm I wonder if I could ever get a job working in video games…

No problem! Next dev video should be coming out early next week

We don't have any plans to share specific numbers at the moment, but I can say we do talk about how Arena has been doing and what we're thinking about for the future of Arena and other game modes in the next dev update video.

Sorry for the non-answer, but the next video will help answer a lot of these questions.

as a target dummy main im really excited for these changes. A bit sad my secret pick is going to be meta, but the target dummy meta was always inevitable

Sorry for getting your hopes up but Nexus Blitz isn't ready right now. We were turning on the ARAM Clash and NB snuck in there

We're glad you're enjoying it!

I love a good pie

Arena Rule #2: Fashion isn't free

Hey Redditors and future Gladiators!

We’re some of the Modes Team members that helped bring League’s newest game mode, Arena, to life and we’re here to answer your questions! The game mode has been live for a few days now, so we’re curious to get your thoughts on it as well.

This AMA will run from 10am-12pm, but a few Rioters will likely stick around to keep answering questions.Rioters joining the AMA will include:

CptCubone | H28_G_Evo | ...

They made it in! Patch notes should be updated shortly but the change is as follows:
Fixed a bug where Yorick’s ghouls’ leaping attacks after hitting his E and his Maiden’s basic attacks would incorrectly apply lifesteal

Hmm, maybe this one?

Just speaking on behalf of myself, I really appreciate the fact that Rioters are constantly revaluating our decisions based on the questions "is this what players want?" and "do players like this?" It's really refreshing to work with people that are open to change and continuously try do what's right for our players.

Here's the devblog you're thinking of.

We've changed and evolved how we're thinking about games modes since this went live a few years ago, but this can show you how we were approaching it at the time.

Here are some commonly asked questions we've seen being asked about Arena! Got some more questions? Drop them down below and I'll do my best to try and respond

• Will I be able to make custom games?
  No, in order to have the game more ready for summer we weren't able to include this feature. However if players play and like the mode enough we're absolutely looking at adding this in the future

• Can I queue with more than 1 friend?
  We're definitely considering adding this if the game mode does well! We just couldn't get this feature ready in time for the initial launch.

• Will Arena be permanent?
  We are really excited about the mode, but we want to make sure players are as excited as we are. If players really dig it, we'll bring it back and/or explore making a permanent version.

• When is Arena going live?
  It goes to PBE later today, and onto live servers on July 20.

This one was a misunderstanding on my end when writing the context, the dev that worked on the change knew that though - we just missed it during review

absolutely not, I was shamed into buying a mouse

Thanks, I'm glad you liked them!
