Well, ranked queues are down, only blind pick and normal draft is availaible.
Yeah, ranked queues are usually turned off in preparation for server maintenance after a certain time. That's 'cus otherwise your game would cease to exist once maintenance started
Eune is down at 28.05.2020 02:00 BST
Euw is down at 28.05.2020 03:30 BST
That's in 2 hours from now for EUW and 1 hour for EUNE. The servers aren't down for maintanence yet, that's just the error message you got due to the outage. Sorry for the confusion :(
I don't understand why you're the only rioter responding on reddit recently.
You're commenting alot but it's not like you are really working on the game...
I can't speak for why other people aren't responding but I love engaging with the playerbase and do so consistently. I had some time off the past few days so I had some more opportunities to engage with players.
As I mentioned in my post, engaging can be really stressful/mentally taxing for some people. With the current global situation, I don't blame others for wanting to relax instead of engaging.
In addition, aside from meme posts, you generally only want to engage when you're a subject matter expert in something. With the exception of this thread, most of the things I've posted in have been something I am an SME in (mostly to do with MFA or Vanguard).
It would be cool if you guys had an official forum. When a rioter responds in the comments there will be an icon next to the post so everyone knows... oh wait nvm. You guys had one and DELETED it.
I mean, part of the reason I'm glad the boards are gone is because they had the same problems, at least on EU (The region I am from)
i enjoy that the missing ping made its way here
you just did. Hello!
Though, in future, player support is a great avenue for these things.
it's very common for some players in some regions to play at 4:3 because they are used to it from PC bangs, but you will lose some horizontal FOV by doing so as /u/123456KR says, which might be a competitive disadvantage.
Biggest issue is hexdrinker is worse than phantom dancer. So while hex is better than phantom dancer for surviving magic dmg specifically (if you factor in the MR), PD saves you in more cases. And has a bigger shield.
I find myself never wanting to buy hex unless I absolutely have to. PD is just so much better most of the time
PD also contributes to your scalings in such a way that it's honestly never a bad idea to consider building it if you're a crit ADC. The only "con" of PD is that you don't get the shield 'til it's complete, which is a significant gold investment and usually built 3rd.
I have to give you the respect of actually replying and making sense, I might have overexaggerated on an impulse, but it can still be frustrating how many things are left unadressed by riot, whether that be on reddit or elsewhere (I say that as a very long time player that loves the game but is aware of the flaws)
I can understand the frustration, believe me. This is, again, why Reddit is not a great medium for announcing what Riot is doing... Rioters reply on Reddit a lot, but it gets buried in the comments and people who don't see those comments feel like we don't respond at all.
It makes more sense to have more formal dev blogs/riot pls articles to announce the direction we are taking, but those take time to create. I also think Meddlers gameplay thoughts are a great example of proactive communication to get ahead of the curve, or at least stay level, with the current community feeling on certain topics, although they aren't suitable for all topics

But even your message shows the issues
These teams shouldn’t be small and everyone would prefer the game improve over people saying they have a “small team working on it”
If Riot see this type of post, and the multitude of others addressing the legitimate issues and Rioters want the game to improve: Why hasn’t it?
This isn’t a new problem and I’m not talking about this video, the client has been horrific for years, the business tactics have been scummy for years, etc and etc
I’m sure you care and I’m sure others care. But it is clear as day that some/the one in charge don’t give a f**k about me or the other players.
I just wish Rioters would stop putting on a face like those people give a shit. If people gave a shit about anything besides money at the top of Riot the game wouldn’t look like it does right now.
Riot as a company makes enough money to put that money where there mouth is and no...
These teams shouldn’t be small and everyone would prefer the game improve over people saying they have a “small team working on it”
I think I may not have been clear, so on this, specifically: It's not that the team that "works on League" is small, it's that the overlap of "person that works on League" and "person who has the energy to engage with players on Reddit" is not necessarily very big.
If Riot see this type of post, and the multitude of others addressing the legitimate issues and Rioters want the game to improve: Why hasn’t it?
Because this kind of work is an experiment. We are experimenting on ways to solve the issues brought up in this issue, but sometimes that experiment is not always successful. This gives the impression that things aren't improving, but things not improving is not the same as "not trying".

So either he's a rioter without a flair or you're not a rioter anymore?
I'm not sure what the story is on Shakarez's flair, but we do indeed work together. Unless I got fired this morning without being informed...
Presumably /u/Kayle_Bot has the flair he has instead of the riot flair because he prefers it, but it's not a secret he works for Riot as he works on the LEC.
Are you getting paid to meme right now, mister?
My performance is measured in mph (memes per hour).

We work really hard, actually. :(
Just curious, is there a reason you use slack rather than discord?
I didn't make the business decision, but my PoV on it is that Slack predates Discord by quite a bit and offers more control to the corporations that have the enterprise license than Discord does.
I use Discord for private communications outside of work (private in this sense meaning "not related to Riot"), but any work communications go through Slack due to lack of guarantees on Discords behalf on what it does with your messages etc
how would he know your slack picture?
We work at the same company and I regularly sh*tpost with him.
So Diamond 3 (100 LP) would be the right Rank not Master still high tho ! congrats
decay is hard. I did actually hit Master. I don't know what point you're trying to prove other than "Gotcha!"?
last season
I was master tier at the end of last season, but I didn't finish in that rank. :) Too bad the tier graph doesn't show it.
Either way, OP talks about spelling mistakes being an indicator of bad ranks, and Diamond isn't bad either
im half trolling but something interesting is how the amount of spelling and grammatical errors go down as you climb. huuuge difference between bronze-gold and diamond+
I was master tier last season and I make typos all the time in casual conversation. There's no "secret sauce" to being good at the game. :P
If anything, the number of typos you make is more indicative of how well versed you are in English if it's not your first language.
all challenger players have high iq. this is why some ppl play 2 seasons and hit challenger and some tryhard for 10 seasons and never get out of diamond, even though they study the game and pay for coaching and analyze their own replays etc
This feels like a copy-pasta. IQ is a great measurement for spatial reasoning, but there's no proof that being good at League correlates with high IQ.
