Phreak seems to be quoting Reddit a lot when it comes to changes. I wonder if the balance team have people that browse the Korean or Chinese equivalent of LoL discussion and see what they have to say about balance.

We use a lot of survey data. It's really interesting what kinds of things players in other countries consider big issues. Obviously it's really hard for most of us to interact on non-English social media.

Any thoughts going towards Triforce Kindred // Hecarim right now? I don't think they are autowin, but they both seem to be very strong right now

They're quite strong right now.

We do, yes. A mix of things like patch reports that come from regional offices, balance designers that speak the different languages, etc.

We have a Weibo account that we also use to communicate with Chinese players.

I personally try to stay up to date with all the different regions to make sure I'm making the right decisions.

Hey Phreak thanks for great video again. Azir seems to be picked in LCK quite often(of course data isn't enough yet and global presence is not that high so far), do you think he will be nerfed soon or later? if so, what kind of nerf are you planning?

56% presence so far.

Also the pros aren't trolling their builds, which is nice to see.

I'd be pretty happy with Azir at ~50% presence for the rest of the year. I hope we don't have to act.
