teemo got nerfed because the wildpass is expiring
If a new skinline with teemo skin, he'll get the buff again.
that's how league and wildrift works
you think we're that coordinated?

I hear ya on all fronts! You’re only one person at a giant conglomerate. I appreciate the extrapolation all the same. Cheers
Edit: it’s nice knowing that our outcries don’t fall on deaf ears. Can’t say the same with other companies and this is one aspect that is quite great with y’all.
Edit2: just an idea have a live webpage such as roadmap.wildrift which can be updated by the internal teams with simple info such as:
Champs on the horizon: Brand / Nunu Champs moving to the horizon: X/Y
Future goals: XYZ and ABC in development. C will take longest due to issues with coding or whatever.
Patch x.x coming Dec 15
Patch x.x delayed to Dec 29 for hot fix.
Event starting this day
Wild Pass starting this day (with link to purchase yours!)
Known bugs/issues to be resolved in upcoming patches: Voice chat due by patch x.x Flash fix due by patch x.x Character hitbox patches
ALL previous changes below
i appreciate you :)
You’re right, on the point you’re making 100%. Believing anything from Rankedboost too isn’t the best considering most of their info is multiple patches behind.
I’d prefer a detailed roadmap to lay to rest a lot of these “leaks.”
Bundling the thresh reskin allowed y’all to slide the viego under the rug tho cause the reaction on new default thresh was guaranteed to be negative and overwhelming. I can’t imagine it tested well whatsoever. You split the community in half crying about another cash grab eboy and the other half confused where the ruined king disappeared off to. Not saying the rationale behind delaying viego wasn’t valid, only saying that there was a lot of community hate coming your way & thresh blocked it all. (Curious if intentional because he’s a support champ?)
Let’s be real here too “age ratings” as the reason for human thresh too has to be a joke. Ignored the community completely there too oh whale!
I’d prefer a detailed roadmap to lay to rest a lot of these “leaks.”
ya, we try to do that with dev diaries so people know what to expect over the next couple months (truthfully our roadmap isn't solidified enough to announce stuff much further than that. game dev hard)
there was a lot of community hate coming your way & thresh blocked it all. (Curious if intentional because he’s a support champ?)
it was actually just to head them both off at once as they were impacted for different reasons (didn't want people going "WHAT ABOUT VIEGO" when we announced fleshy thresh. genuinely just wanted to tell both of those stories (i'm not really sure how this plays into the "eboy cashgrab" thing but i just write devblogs man

not a joke. i don't want to be a weaselly little liar. we knew...
Read moreCause the comms from wild rift are a joke. You have to scour Twitter and Reddit threads to find relevant information rather than their own website. Not to mention you have to find and track these Dev accounts in order to do so..
Also u/draggles still championing that Viego was iceboxed is awesome. Glad to hear that Wild Rift’s direction is f**ked and only geared towards whatever makes them the most dollars. They never actually gave a shit about the community, only appeasing it in order to get another paycheck.
do you want us to release an article about "no these leaks aren't real" every time something like this comes up? we post almost everything to the website and our official social accounts; this is something i've been shepherding for a long time. this is a lot of the reason why we don't immediately respond to questions that would involve revealing more info to players (in English, via a random Rioter's account), because it frustrates folks like yourself. we'll spend the time to actually put a real post together before leaking it on twitter.
re: viego, we explained the ...

Something else I'd like for them to give a little more thought/transparency to is what a balance change means for low elo vs high elo. The Yi buff may have been trying to give him a bit more use in high elo but turned him into a nightmare for low elo. And to be totally honest that was utterly unsurprising.
In terms of communication, what would help is if at some point between the last patch and this one, someone told us "yes, we see Yi has become a problem, we are working on it for the next patch". Simple acknowledgement that you hear what's wrong, have confirmed it on your end, and telling us there's a fix on the way even if you don't have specifics of that fix, it will do a lot to curb anger.
Don't wait until the patch notes to give us good news.
We actually talk specifically about this over here, but agree that we should provide some of this context in the patch notes themselves.
/u/draggles
Trolling and AFKsHave played other mobile mobas before, it was a long journey (with frequent complaints from players) to get the right weight to penalties.
From a teammate perspective, it certainly helps to get a feedback about reported players on short notice (within minutes, or half an hour): Is the report found to be valid? What are the consequences?
For the offender: Punishments should be noticeable and somewhat painful to either make an offender reconsider his notions or temporarily remove him from game modes. Repeat offenses in a short amount of time should add considerably to the weight of the penalty.
good ideas, thank you
Read moreAll great notes - there's a lot we haven't addressed directly. Most of the things you mentioned (voice chat, FPS drops, etc) - I generally encourage the dev team to give updates as frequently as possible, but only when we have meaningful updates. Right now, we don't really have much to share on those things. Like, that's truly as transparent as I can be on it, as that's all I know. Voice chat is being worked on, with no ETA on a fix. FPS drops, I would encourage you to report to support-wildrift.riotgames.com as they're often device-specific. Spectator bug is known, and being figured out.
FIDDL...
FIDDLE HALLOWEEN EVENT confirmed??? 👀👀👀
this is why we can't have nice comms
I used to think the matchmaking was completely whack too until I watched Friend win some 32 out of 35 games on stream in SoloQ, at which point I realized it's not about the matchmaking, it's about me being better lol
It's partly about the matchmaking, for sure. There's a lot more we want to do to improve it, especially around visibility when there's a disconnect between a players' MMR and their rank
On an unrelated note, is making voice chat (once fixed) available for all players in all games as a toggable option, as opposed to just for players queing up together, something the team has or would ever consider doing?
I don't think it's on the cards soon - League is an intense game, and until we have more ways to give people ways to have a safer and more comfortable experience in voice (wi...
Read moreAny updates when is Wildrift coming to India?
Nothing to report, unfortunately. South Asia is an amazing region with so many passionate mobile gamers, and given the state of the world right now it is super complex to set up infrastructure and get the game out to y'all in a way that's worthy of your time. We hear you, but there's a lot holding us back as it stands. As soon as we have more updates on an India launch, we'll shout that message from the rooftops. In the meantime, I hope you're staying safe and well.
Nice initiative here is my suggestion
Be more transparent on why you buff or nerf champions, give us hard data and what your vision is for champions..
Last patch you needed Annie because ‘Annie has been heating up the midlane’.. what does that even mean?? Give us win rates per elo, ban rates, stats..
You didn’t touch Akali/Katarina.. give us stats why you decided not to, or is it just planned for future patches? Be more transparent about your plans.
This would be resolved with dev diaries where you can give deeper insight on these aspects and decision making rational.
mm, good call. /u/wav3break let's start putting some deeper thoughts in for 2.4c?
I more concernt for the 4 other ppl that play with afk or troll, yes they may be punished but, what about us the victim ? We still lose our LP/rank point , We need somekind of protections If we enounter afk/troller in our team
you should get the fortitude they lost divided up between you, iirc (it is a v small token, but there is something!)
I've played a lot of games after decades, I've never seen a dev who is as active as Riot in terms of communication. I hope you can make like a monthly Ask Wild Rift (answer like 3-5 questions is more than enough), just like Ask Valorant.
I wish Valve devs communicates with its player, this is what i didnt get when i play Valve games.
Sometimes silence is good, but i hate it. This is what Valve does: https://youtu.be/9hBTueJGyyo
i really like ask riot. okay, you've convinced me, we should do this. as soon as i figure out a good process for it. actually acts as a good venue to do more recent updates on current topics
More Michael Chow would greatly improve comms, 10/10 scientists agree
the main reason michael isn't in more of our stuff is his calendar. man has a lot on his plate that doesn't involve getting in front of his camera and reeling off superlatives. michael chow videos are like a fine dessert - they must be savoured
Dear Riot, can you help me with my homework? "I have a bag of balls, 1/4 of them are green, 1/8 are blue, and 1/12 are yellow, and the remaining 26 are white. How many balls do I have?" Please, I just need to solve this problem so I can play the game for the whole night ;).
Joking aside, I am pretty happy that we have a person from Riot here to improve communication (including the therapist part xD). I hope we all can get along in good terms from now on.
Joking aside, I am pretty happy that we have a person from Riot here to improve communication (including the therapist part xD). I hope we all can get along on good terms from now on. not spend time doing something like this. Hell, some dev teams even treat players like trash (I'm talking about Blizzard if anyone reads the news).
you have 48 balls - 12 green, 6 blue, 4 yellow, 26 white. we saved wild rift
You could set up an official social media channel that focuses on Wild Rift updates/patches as well as collecting player feedback.
Right now there’s no real way to effectively communicate feedback outside of the dev team one off reaching out.
Even if you had a webpage with a leave a comment box…
It would be useful to us to also know the technical roadmap. We know the content roadmap but have vague insight into the game’s changes. With PC league you get the PBE and the buffer that allows, right now there isn’t any sort of “hey we’re thinking of making these changes” area for the passionate folks to check out.
Great call. The actual intake of feedback is something we rely a lot of watching player communications across the world, our in-game surveys, and actual data with how players interact with the game. Something we've def been missing is a direct line to Riot (in the vein of Ask Riot or a feedback box). Lemme look into this
Brawlhalla does dev streams every once in a while (you can check their schedule on Twitch). Nothing serious, just developers playing the game in a dev server, showcasing incoming skins or just talking about the game, about what's being worked on behind the scenes , about what they can talk and cannot talk about. Then they play a couple of casual games with the community on the normal servers and the stream ends and they raid any brawlhalla streamer. One stream is for dev talk, another is for esport talk. Ive been playing it for years now and the community went from talking about "the devs" to knowing each by name and loving all of them, because they get to display their charm. I'm sure theres someone in your dev team that would love doing something similiar.
i do like this - but it's hard bound to english-speakers (anything we do i'd like to be more accessible to speakers around the world). i feel like this is something that rioters should maybe do by themselves - but not so much it feels like extra work. hmm
Need to push that shiny big red “push patch to live” button under glass. Seems to be a bit too tempting to press.
it's more like they fatfingered the big red button while trying to press a medium sized green button
they should remove chat completely
i'm gonna be honest - i never turned text chat on, and i still have a great time. i don't have time to type in a WR game, and personally i can get by with pings.
i know i'm in a unique spot where players will both a) be on their best behaviour when they get into game with me and b) troll the absolute fk out of me because you don't get too many chances to do so -- but i do think we have enough options for ingame comms through pings, emotes, and flashing aggressively at my lane opponent.
for those of y'all that do like to have chat on, totally fine, but i don't think much can be shared there in solo queue at least
Its outstanding how we have been without voice chat since 29 July and not until recently a few days ago we got a response about it, the game is full of bugs such as the one mentioned before,you can't watch friends games, lag spikes, FPS drops out of nowhere, the game sound sometimes is on sometimes is off,the matchmaking....all the trolls and afk players that goes wild and unpunished, the mmr problem and the list goes on and yet the team instead of talk with the community and try to find a common ground just look the other way and keep realising skins doing nothing about it, for f**k sake is the second time you release a patch unnoticed, how do u expect the people to take seriously this dev team

I can address a couple of these things:
Lag spikes - Has been a high priority for the team for a while. Settings like the dual-channel communication feature have seen strong ...
Read moreEDIT: Some great suggestions here. Thanks so much for your help! Gonna mull over these for a bit.
Hey folks,
I see the feedback a lot that the communication from the Wild Rift dev team is bad. (Yes we released the balance patch early again here's an explanation on that i'm sorry ok).
For those that I haven't met yet, I'm the communications lead on the team - my role is to help the devs tell stories and provide updates about the things they're working on. Part community manager...
