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

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!

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.

This is why I'm not designing the game lol. You guys are way above me in understanding mechanics that go on behind the scenes and I realize this. Sometimes I like to throw out ideas and stuff. I really appreciate you guys for giving me something to do. I've been deeply depressed and not feeling any enjoyment out of life but wildrift helps me cope.

While I'm always sad to see teammates go for whatever reason, this is pretty normal in my experience in game dev. Wild Rift has been in development for a while, so while it may seem like people are swapping out "early," for some people it has been a few years. That being said, the team is getting bigger every day, so you'll just have some new people to meet :).

Hello, could you take a look at Font of Life and Ardent Censer interaction on Singed. This hasn't worked on Singed since Font of Life was updated, I thought it was removed but it seems this may be a bug since in another post you said the interaction should still work.

Thanks from a Singed main :)

I think ik what part you're talking about I meant the 300% part was pretty much always mentioned in her ult description before the rework until it was poofed away, im sorry btw im just not good with the mathematical stuff in the description so I might have misunderstood it.

Hey, thanks for clarifying this I legit thought that the missing health part was gone since I couldn't see it in the description anymore.

Originally posted by thatwasaheadshot

But I swear they did fix something about the ult scalings in the rework because the busted part about the ult in the first place was the 300% 3x damage I thought they removed that and placed a fixed maxed damage done under 35% health.

As an Akali main, I'm happy with the changes. However i am still seeing a high ban rate (8 out of 10 games) so it's kinda depressing.. do you think this will change ?

Originally posted by thatwasaheadshot

Well idk man you have to get into some deep discussions about numbers and mechanics to explain why said abilities are broken lmao otherwise its just plain useless complaining.

Originally posted by Mr_Opel

good points haha, let's see how it affects her. didn't even consider bans. ban rate will take some time to catch up to changes in strength, people's perceptions on power change slower than the power itself

may I ask what the rationale was behind Soraka nerfs? I personally felt like she wasn't a problem especially with grievous wounds and proper focus - Nami is almost universally regarded as the strongest enchanter in high elo.

Noooo don’t nerf the rolling ball of fun. My 2 cents on why his wr is higher. He is such a situational champ(versus ad champs) and thats why people tend to pick him to punish enemy comps when they go for 4 ad or full ad teams. If the enemy picks out a more balanced team, sure the effects of rammus won’t be as severe.

haha I know, I understand that dance as a former kat one trick on PC.

I’m going to branch into anecdote. But the kat OTPS/mains I ran into many times in West Coast challenger were like Mali Uwu, Kyle, Hoon, Vex, Asamii, 4 character Taiwanese dude, and Bestplayer1. Hoon and Asamii have dropped her entirely, bestplayer1 is d1 now and rarely plays (i think swapped to Akali), TW1 is playing mostly other champs now (albeit possibly for tourney reasons), Kyle plays Kat occasionally still but hasnt reached challenger and doesn’t do well into me anymore when he is on Kat. Vex is like the last true Kat OTP and hes still working his way through GM. Idk, for me it feels like hitting an already dying breed lol..

going back off narratives, I just checked. there isn’t a single kat main in challenger anymore. there was once nearly thirty.

Id also caution when using diamond or masters, perhaps even GM as a sign of high elo. Theres a far bigger percentage of players in maste...

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.

Have 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.
