Cause 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 rationale over here, which was posted on our socials and the website.

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!

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 we had to make changes, so instead of just swapping stuff we built a whole thing around unbound thresh and his place in the world. if you didn't like it, that's totally valid, but we wanted to prioritise getting thresh's iconic gameplay into WR, however it had to happen

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 :)
