League of Legends: Wild Rift Dev Tracker

Trolling and AFKs

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.

As always though we have follow up patches and if she ends up being too weak/strong we can respond.

True, I forget about that sometimes haha

I don’t know, I run into the same names that used to absolutely destroy me in the past. Not only are the usually not challenger anymore, but when we carefully save cc for her, Kat becomes a non-factor in my games these days with the proper team comp… the only time she ever performs is as a last pick into our poorly built team comp with no cc and squishy. I feel like the counterplay and awareness of what Kat does is so much higher in high elos, and shutting her down is so much easier than old Kat which one slip up she wipes our entire team and snowballs out of control.

Perhaps it’s not fair that I’m comparing the current iteration to what was once regarded by most as the strongest champion in the game though.

All great notes - there's a lot we haven't addressed directly. Most of the things you mentioned (voice chat, FPS drops, etc) - I generally encourage the dev team to give updates as frequently as possible, but only when we have meaningful updates. Right now, we don't really have much to share on those things. Like, that's truly as transparent as I can be on it, as that's all I know. Voice chat is being worked on, with no ETA on a fix. FPS drops, I would encourage you to report to support-wildrift.riotgames.com as they're often device-specific. Spectator bug is known, and being figured out.

FIDDL...

I really don’t think Katarina deserved a nerf, she’s been struggling so much more since her last few. She’s incredibly overrated and Katarina players have also been frustrated and struggling in High elo. The number of top 100 Katarinas dropping by more than 80% says a lot… and the haunting guise nerfs already hit her since she doesn’t build Ludens. Akali struggles a lot more in most elos than people believe (or want to believe), but in the end is still a very strong champion in the right hands and her constant pick/ban in pro play in all regions is a testament to that.… so at least her nerf makes some sense.

I don’t know. Balancing around placating general irrationality sounds like an awful idea. I hope it was a soft nerf... and I’m saying that as someone who struggles with Kat as a support main that one tricks a support with no cc to shut her down.

Oh, and thanks for the post!

Why do akali and katarina get nerfed, which require a decent amount of skill, but Champions that are stomping games for a while now with about 0 skill required like rammus, tank garen, master yi or jax get buffed or remain unchanged ? Ok yi gets nerfed... also Banshees veil when?

Any updates when is Wildrift coming to India?

High banrate means the champ is too OP, or too annoying.

Atm, Akali has 47.55% WR, so I am pretty sure her kit is just annoying (imho, Zed and Irelia are more annoying than her so I am not sure why people keep banning her). Nerfing her to make the ban rate goes lower may become a good strategy, but it will not be good in the long run. I really don't want to see any champions sitting at 45% WR like the PC version.

Nice initiative here is my suggestion

Be more transparent on why you buff or nerf champions, give us hard data and what your vision is for champions..

Last patch you needed Annie because ‘Annie has been heating up the midlane’.. what does that even mean?? Give us win rates per elo, ban rates, stats..

You didn’t touch Akali/Katarina.. give us stats why you decided not to, or is it just planned for future patches? Be more transparent about your plans.

This would be resolved with dev diaries where you can give deeper insight on these aspects and decision making rational.

I've played a lot of games after decades, I've never seen a dev who is as active as Riot in terms of communication. I hope you can make like a monthly Ask Wild Rift (answer like 3-5 questions is more than enough), just like Ask Valorant.

I wish Valve devs communicates with its player, this is what i didnt get when i play Valve games.

Sometimes silence is good, but i hate it. This is what Valve does: https://youtu.be/9hBTueJGyyo

More Michael Chow would greatly improve comms, 10/10 scientists agree

Dear Riot, can you help me with my homework? "I have a bag of balls, 1/4 of them are green, 1/8 are blue, and 1/12 are yellow, and the remaining 26 are white. How many balls do I have?" Please, I just need to solve this problem so I can play the game for the whole night ;).

Joking aside, I am pretty happy that we have a person from Riot here to improve communication (including the therapist part xD). I hope we all can get along in good terms from now on.

Hell, some dev teams even treat players like trash (I'm talking about Blizzard if anyone reads the news).

You could set up an official social media channel that focuses on Wild Rift updates/patches as well as collecting player feedback.

Right now there’s no real way to effectively communicate feedback outside of the dev team one off reaching out.

Even if you had a webpage with a leave a comment box…

It would be useful to us to also know the technical roadmap. We know the content roadmap but have vague insight into the game’s changes. With PC league you get the PBE and the buffer that allows, right now there isn’t any sort of “hey we’re thinking of making these changes” area for the passionate folks to check out.

Brawlhalla does dev streams every once in a while (you can check their schedule on Twitch). Nothing serious, just developers playing the game in a dev server, showcasing incoming skins or just talking about the game, about what's being worked on behind the scenes , about what they can talk and cannot talk about. Then they play a couple of casual games with the community on the normal servers and the stream ends and they raid any brawlhalla streamer. One stream is for dev talk, another is for esport talk. Ive been playing it for years now and the community went from talking about "the devs" to knowing each by name and loving all of them, because they get to display their charm. I'm sure theres someone in your dev team that would love doing something similiar.

Need to push that shiny big red “push patch to live” button under glass. Seems to be a bit too tempting to press.

Haha, my main is actually Pantheon (whom I find very balanced atm, don't nerf my boy ever kty) but my 2nd most played champion is Akali, I use her when I want to spice things up a bit since I find her playstyle to be very enjoyable. But yeah, you got a deal if we ever meet in ranked :^d

Its outstanding how we have been without voice chat since 29 July and not until recently a few days ago we got a response about it, the game is full of bugs such as the one mentioned before,you can't watch friends games, lag spikes, FPS drops out of nowhere, the game sound sometimes is on sometimes is off,the matchmaking....all the trolls and afk players that goes wild and unpunished, the mmr problem and the list goes on and yet the team instead of talk with the community and try to find a common ground just look the other way and keep realising skins doing nothing about it, for f**k sake is the second time you release a patch unnoticed, how do u expect the people to take seriously this dev team

Hey please put 5 team bans most of the time both team ban same champion and I don't like it its just waste of ban...... Or make both team bans like pro play in pc.

Can we see what enmey will ban will be good so no 1 ban slot wasted.
