League of Legends: Wild Rift Dev Tracker

That's a variable we tune separately from the ranks. Sometimes it decays, sometimes it doesn't, but we base that more on whether or not players are actually worse than expected after not playing for some period of time.

I think it's currently possible in some cases for your MMR to also decay resulting in worse LP gains on return, but I can't guarantee that it will always be the case.

The LP gain issue where you continued to gain high LP in Master after your LP passed well into GM or even Challenger should be fixed as of 2.5.

So your LP gains should smoothly decrease as you gain LP in Master until your LP matches your MMR.

This should reduce how often Rank can outpace MMR.

But, yeah, it's always bad in the long run to throw matches because your MMR will drop and it'll make it hard to eventually climb.

Whereas if your MMR really is too low, you should have a >50% win %, making your MMR climb, which will make your LP gains higher.

It should only really affect Fiora Q as riven Q is also a direction cast. To clarify for direction casts, You can drag your finger as far as you want to aim it since it’s always aiming at a fixed range/max range so no matter how large the button’s aim area visually is, you’re always able to go past it to get a finer control without cost. Try reverting to default sensitivity and then tuning up from there to match what you had, 65% may no longer be the same. Need to look into it for exact details.

Sensitivity shouldn’t actually affect spell 2’s feel because it’s a direction cast, meaning it always takes the angle from aim center to finger input even if your finger is dragged way past the max range of the button. Visually, the aim area on spell 2 is changing to reflect what it would be however.

No worries. Basically, this is a case of reddit player perception not matching with our data.

If your interested you can read a bit more about the teams balance framework here: https://wildrift.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/dev/dev-balance-framework-update/

This was written before bans were introduced, so it's a tad out of date, but it has all the same core info.

Basically Asol has been very strong, at any elo. And if you were to look at an Asol one trick you would likely see some crazy high winrates, far higher than what we typically worry about in the linked framework.

He isn't a popular champion, though he has a theme that players are really interested in, but h...

It's possible, but I expect this is low priority, given the low impact this info has on the game. Really any feature comes down to prioritization. Even if it seems small, any feature means other features that team could be working on take longer or be pushed back.

I'm not on the teams that would handle something like this, so I don't know what the plans are. It's a possibility, but I expect this is low priority, though again I could be wrong. Really it's all about prioritizing, and adding something like this, even if it seems small, means other features would take longer or be pushed back.

Thanks, for the kind words!

Those are some interesting questions with some potentially lengthy answers.

I don't believe we have done a deep dive into "is there too much shielding in the game?" But, speaking for myself anecdotally I think there might be a tad too much shielding. But we have been hesitant to pull power from enchanters, who are typically seen as weak. Despite this games are still very lethal so it isn't at a point where people aren't dying.

As for your second question about the power of the support role. It really comes down to how you are defining power. If you mean winrate of support champions than things are doing fine. But I suspect you are asking more about the agency of the support role (how much control does a role have over the outcome of a game). We think support agency is too low, while the jungle role is too high.

With that said many players are still learning how different the role is from what they are familiar with in Lo...

Because it's such a new phone we're still in testing for it; we have to spend time testing to make sure we don't have any overheating issues as components and hardware specs change (even if it's a straight upgrade)

This will roll out as soon as everyone's on the new patch!

Thanks! I gotta say when I got the alert I went to show more of the team your kind words. :)

I am very interested to see how the 2nd Rift Herald plays out, and it has been hard not talking about the Tryndamere changes =P.

Players have asked for clans, clubs or guilds since pretty much day 1 of beta. Even if it's not what many folks on the subreddit want, it has been a top ask for a long time

I don't run the subreddit in any form - you'll have to ping the mods!

Did someone call for a simple Rioter?!

There are two primary reasons that we don't put a high priority on showing these kinds of things.

1. It doesn't change how you behave when fighting these champions. Sure a Nasus with a lot of stacks is scary, but it doesn't really change how you approach fighting him. Either way, you want to keep your distance. And you can tell from other methods if he is doing well or not, Gold, K/D/A, has he split pushed 3+ towers this game? These are all ways to tell how well he is doing without the need to directly see how many stacks he has.As an example, while Kha'zix doesn't have stacks, it is important to see where he has spent his evolution points because it does shape his play pattern, this is why his model changes depending on what points are spent.
2. The second thing is the UI, both in terms of space/location but also how you would access the info. If we felt that this information was critical enough to show then we would ...

We added it with the intention that melee AA focused champions (Jax, Shyvana, etc) can use this to survive and deal damage. But also as a tool for marksmen looking for some MR.

Obviously some MM will like the item if they are looking for attack speed or an on-hit build, but it should be an option for either group.

I haven't looked at the item recently to know if it is being purchased too frequently or not, but it isn't something I would expect to be a frequent pick for MM unless they need to survive magic damage, or are going the AS/On-hit route.

Ya a big reason we pushed for bringing over Grudge was so that anti-healing wasn't always the only open when you wanted ARpen.

Yeah, that's what the new rank icon will try and alleviate. "An Emerald? Oh, but it says Riot thinks their MMR is as high as ours OK"

As long as the MMRs are right, the high Emerald should hang just fine w/ GMs (50/50, reasonable KDA, etc) and the low Emerald should be Golding like Golds (also 50/50,and normal KDA).

MMR should be a good indicator for both ability to win and ability to play reasonably well with those of the same MMR. It's definitely not perfect, and we have improvements to it coming, but it does appear to be more accurate than Rank.

Emeralds with GM-level MMRs definitely destroy Diamonds with Gold-level MMRs.

Mundo has always been juggernaut, he lacks the CC, protection, or initiation power to reliably be called a tank. Though I'll give you he can be tankier than most. This is why he is better at clearing camps than tanks, because he is much more focused on damage than tanking.

As for junglers, he has been preforming well, but no better than actual tank junglers that are critically undervalued by this subreddit. The big reason here is that clearing camps after your first clear doesn't have much value. But powerful ganks, like many tanks bring, is game winning.

What is it about his identity that you are worried about losing? Don't worry he still goes where he pleases, he still has massive healing, and a cleaver.

Apparently High and Elite players need to be reminded of Grievous Wounds from time to time too.
