That's like comparing a watermelon to a orange. I seriously think you guys didn't give it enough of a chance and are majorly to blame for why NB didn't do as well as it did, especially since you guys rushed it out and called it a alpha to begin with.

TFT’s development was the fastest-moving dev cycle I’ve ever seen at this company. Like, when we were only a few weeks away from shipping on PBE it still looked like trash and there was this bug that made it so Swain’s ult played non-stop. Endless crows screaming. It’s a MIRACLE that players actually thought TFT was in a decent state when we got it out the door.

That’s fair. We’ve been getting a little more wild with TFT missions in part because it’s not a team game—even if you decide to go after a really weird mission, you aren’t screwing over somebody else in the game

I was the one who asked him about the Twisted Treeline rates. I expected them to be low. But man, actually hearing it was depressing.

Sorry friend, I didn’t mean to bum you out :(

Cactopus do you have any word on other rotating game modes as well? I miss going home after school and popping a few rounds of Ascension with friends :(

i'd even take blood moon at this point

Yeah earlier this month we committed to bringing modes (new and old) back as part of future events: https://nexus.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/2019/09/ask-riot-events-and-game-modes/

It might be just another month or so before that promise starts to pay off...

This conversation is tough because at the end of the day people who really like NB can’t be convinced that it didn’t deserve more love. Like, if you like it and want more of it, you aren’t wrong.

So when Rioters like me come out and say “here’s the facts, not that many people were playing it,” it doesn’t feel like it’s really addressing NB fans’ point. And that point is, Nexus Blitz really DID fill a niche and it met player needs that we’re currently failing to meet.

So, look, even if the conspiracy theory about missions is totally wrong (and it is), we get it—NB offered something special. And we’d be crazy not to try to get that special something right in the future (and hopefully in a way that’s appealing to more players). That’s all I’ll say for now.

They are, and it is stupid. They merely mentioned a TFT update (which we already know is going to be about the next "Cycle" of units) and everyone started freaking out about "OMG ARE YOU REALLY ONLY MAKING A TFT UPDATE FOR 10 YEARS WTF RITO?"

Like jesus f**king christ, people. Nintendo announces a new Mario will be announced during the direct and Smash players aren't like OMFG NINTENDO HATES SMASH AND ONLY FOCUSES ON MARIO, WTF NINTENDO

Blatantly acting like children. Let something actually happen before you shit on it with your false assumptions.

e: also an important aside - ALONGSIDE that announcement that TFT news would be included, they mentioned how they're going to at minimum talk about the preseason changes for SR. Debunks, in the same sentence, half of this bullshit complaining that Riot only cares about TFT during the anniversary

As a member of the smash community you should’ve seen the rage and conspiracy theories that accompanied each and every character reveal in the lead-up to ultimate. That community is nuts lol

This is my favorite hot take. If I’m having fun, you know bad things are coming.

No! This game is now dead because the logo changes.

It’s true. They shut down the office this morning. Marc Merrill sent out an email that just said “old logo was iconic new logo is boring f*ck this sh*t” and now I need a new job

Hey, as long as Good News Lee Sin appears somewhere, I'll be more than glad. But seriously, I agree with all you said. I trust Riot has cool things prepared for the 10th Anniversary.

Bald guy pog AKA audible chocolate AKA papa joe AKA Good News Lee Sin will absolutely be there

that’s all i can promise
