Ohhh this makes lots of sense, it’s just that as players we don’t notice the archetypes yet since there’s only one or two skins in each archetype so far. This was a super cool comment, thanks for the insight :)

yeah ideally at some point when there's enough we've talked about splitting up or making a collections filter to categorize them that way. also at some point that carousel is generally gonna get too big anyway :P
Now that I’ve got your attention, when can I spend my radiant on a gold luxe melee? :P
Seriously though you guys knocked this one out of the park, I was expecting the reaver set to come back and this is mind blowing. I noticed that the slide on the dragon vandal and the animations of the knife are similar to the reaver set, is elder flame the final evolution of that skin set?
Keep up the good work!
nah elderflame is its own thing made separate from Reaver. there are always going to be some similarities between skin animations for key points of contact on the guns.
the melees are still something that we've never really explicitly talked about but the way we internally think about them is sort of in an archetypal format. in the same way a skin like the luxe vandal or aristocrat ares adheres to the base animations and vfx, traditionally a melee would do the same unless we built it to do something it wasnt meant to do.. sort of how we take the Prime Vandal and give it a transforming reload animation.
rather than limit ourselves to using the same 1 melee slot and finding different ways to fit new shapes and features into the same motions, we created archetypes to fit into new versions of a melee so that some can feel like a fresh take. this way we dont have to make everything from scratch every single time. like i mentioned with the guns, we do redesign the shapes...

It's the Prime Classic!
i posted in another thread but ill copy my response here
This is 100% my fault - im sorry.
Context: The lv1 Elderflame Vandal has a pose that makes it so you dont end up clipping the magazine through the arms on reload. In the collections page it looks kind of weird, like this odd T-Rex choking itself kind of thing :P
I wanted to default the pose to something more neutral, but in this case that pose broke where the buddy should be (its on the plates on his mid section behind the arm). It does position itself correctly when in game, its just on the collections view for lv1 and 2 that it is misplaced.
Ill fix this in the next patch

Read moreI don't expect any automated system to be perfect. What I do expect is that support staff be willing to fairly assess it on a case-by-case when appeals are made rather than spinning every angle they can to defend the restriction despite it being a miss by the system.
It's a priority to impove these systems: https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/dev/quick-lol-thoughts-game-ruining-behavior/
It'll be great if they do, but this has been going on for quite a while and Riot has a habit of saying they're working on something and then it falling by the wayside. Here's hoping this isn't one such example in the future. That said, again, there are problems beyond the automated systems.
That being said, not getting a restriction in chat is fully in one's control.
Yes. You can mute all and not chat at all...
I'm just saying engaging with people trying to troll is never going to end well. It'll just get you more upset.
I don't think calling something out as inappropriate in chat is worthy of punishment. I do think there are constructive comments and unconstructive comments. I also think people often think their comments are innocuous or constructive when they're not.
I've played league for 11 years with all chat on and have thusfar avoided restrictions and, last i checked, any reports. My approach in comms is i'm saying something tactical/useful for team info or calling out positive moments in the game for teammates. If the chat's not helping the team with valuable info or not lifting someone up, it's probably not worth typing.
I like these skins, but for $100 I would think they would have dealt with this...
Sorry! It works in the game. It's broken in Collections, though. We didn't catch this bug until it was too late to fix. :(
Hi! That's a bug in the Collections screen. It works in-game. We didn't catch the bug until the build had already been cut, so it was too late to fix. :(
It works in-game. It's just broken in the Collection view. :(
We found this bug too late to catch it in time for the build. :'(
I appreciated the Cat Empire track, awesome edit!
very cool! all the bolts and rivets and such add a really nice touch to this - the main blitzcrank chest piece thats on the side is really well incorporated. you're definitely getting the blitzcrank vibe from this and the modeled in lightning is a great add!
one thing to note when it comes to the valorant style of texturing is that we dont rely so much on grunge maps or and such to give this overly detailed look. a lot of the work we do in texture focuses more of softer gradients going across the weapon from front to back or top to bottom, using your AO as a color mask to add some variety (like some purples, blues, and greens mixed in!!) and really focus on highlighting the main forms and shapes of the weapon, with occasional larger roughness hits or edge markups.
Love the skins. Keep up the great work! Super excited to see what else they've got in development (phantom plzzz).
Thank you! :)
I want a Phantom too!
That last one looks a bit more like Aristocrat Sheriff to me
It wasn't made yet, so couldn't have been it. ;)
Read moreThere are scenarios with some combos where the player responding to the negative group of players with strong swear words can create more weight to the reports in the auto chat restrictions. It can happen. That's the getting baited into a chat ban I was referring to.
I'm not referring to people getting baited. If I'm getting harassed and troll reported by a premade, and I say "f**k" after I stupidly facecheck a bush, that's not getting baited. But does your system detect the swearing is unrelated to the people 4x (or more, if they manage to goad the enemy team into doing) reported by a premade?
Or is swearing entirely a punishable offense? I admit, maybe it is and I just never realized it.
Hell, apparently even calling people racist, sexist, or homophobic is enough to be caught by the automatic chat restrictions when you get mass reported? Sorry, but if you think calling someone racist before muting them, or even suggesting other m...
Our system is not perfect. People who want to really effectively troll and game the system can happen. We want to remove those players, and we want that system to not impact players who are positive in their interactions in chat.
I don't think the scenario where one's getting harassed and then has an innocuous swear unrelated to that is a high use case. In general, I don't recommend using potentially offensive words in a solo queue environment or directing aggressive chat back at harassers. There is some automation in our chat restrictions, so it's possible you get restricted more quickly than that troll. It will feel less fair--and probably is in a lot of cases. Those same auto restrictions do capture a lot of very toxic players, though, and do so quickly.

probably at one point. i mostly called the frenzy the bb
This definitely happens in LoL, yes. Which was the assertion. Maybe it's because the report trains combine with the oversensitive chat detection system, I don't know, but it happens.
I don't have any experience, anecdotal or otherwise, to say so for Valorant. But it's still Riot.

The best thing to do is not respond to toxic teammates. Obviously we want to catch the people provoking and being jerks. It's important that players don't respond to toxicity with toxicity. It doesn't solve the issue in the game.
Players who don't respond with harsh chat and are being trolled won't get any restrictions from a troll group of premades.
