psycho-logical

With a Mixup in the meta so frequently. Stale metas is the WORST part of card games and this helps so much. I'm very excited.

On the Live Balance side, we're likely going to move to every other month, so a balance patch between each content drop. I've considered and talked to the rest of the design team in the past about whether we should do Balance patches alongside content drops- our general stance is to avoid doing this. However, if players find that this new pattern is too slow for balance we can totally shift to doing more balance changes alongside content drops (probably just for the smaller content drops - not new Region drops).

If you have any thoughts around this, let us know!

Appreciate the positive reply to my criticism. It's this particular one. The previous explanatory woman narrator for the bilgewater release was great for talking through all the mechanics and new champs, which made sense for a lower scale announcement/video.

It really just has to do with how big this announcement is. The content is something the devs have put a lot of time and thought into to create a great and captivating future for the game, and the delivery just wasnt commensurate.

The willingness to reply and ask for feedback is a great approach and very appreciated as an active player.

What about compared to these past performances from Jeff and I? (you don't have to watch them if they're too cringeworthy obv :P)

I do not want to hear these guys making an announcement ever again. I'm sure they are good devs, but they are awful at speaking and it was obviously read from a poorly written script while on zoom. Hearing them and comparing it to even post brode HS announcements made me cringe. This is HUGE news with tons of amazing content that I am excited for. The video editing was even great, but the speaking delivery was so emotionless that it detracted from what could have been a great announcement.

Thanks for the feedback! Was it this particular video, or all of our videos? We had to make some accommodations filming this one from home as we all are still working out-of-office due to COVID.

Valid point, who would you wanna see doing the eye roll?

Find out who in patch 1.4

Definitely still a topic for us. We know there’s a bunch that’s not great and we are committed to making it better!

mmmmmmiiiiii

Please also add toss pile, with cards sorted by cost.

Toss pile? As in how can I view the cards I "tossed"? or are you asking for a graveyard?

u/RiotExis is there a hotfix coming for this? Expedition drafting is extremely painful when it's so laggy and we only get two choices per pick.

One of our teams has got a fix and is working hard to get it out to everyone ASAP! Sorry for the pain and the wait.

Yeah this sounds nightmarish. Getting some info.

Totally agree with you on this one. There’s a couple other features with the hands we also want to add. Things like card counts, better warning for max hand, etc. thanks for the feedback!

Hi folks,

This was due to a timing issue with when the new data for the patch went out and when the offers to support that data were pushed. This timing snafu should be resolved in the next patch.

In the meantime, if you restart your client you should now be able to claim the offer. Please give a holler if that's not the case!

Probably cause the patch just went live and it hasn't fully set up in the shop yet?

Idk, just spitballing here. I'm sure it'll work soon :)

You are correct! Restarting your client should put you in a happy place. We had a timing hiccup that should be resolved next patch!

Oops indeed! The Rainbow Poro was so eager to start partying— they popped up in the store faster than we could do some necessary setup! Your new poro buddy and accompanying emote should now be purchasable so please try again (you may need to restart the app)!

I have actually played a version of LoR where overwhelm did go through barrier and it was very unfun! Ha ha!!

Related... I was arguing with some of our game designers about how confusing it was that when a blocker got removed from an attacker that the attacker did not still strike the nexus. So we sat down and played (on paper) where attacks went through. It was horribly unfun! I think I only had to play 1 game to realize I was very, very wrong.

Piggybacking off the top comment to point out that the outfit change is probably an unintended consequence of fixing the poor editing of the ropes around MF's hand.

The most likely explanation is that the current MF splash was the original. It was later revised into the one with the covered midriff and messed up ropes. Since the ropes issue was pointed out to them last patch, they probably just reverted the image without noticing the outfit difference. Please don't be outraged about MF being sexualized. If anything, this points to Riot preferring the covered midriff look.

/u/FAE_BLADET_WIRLER is correct here. What you guys are seeing in game right now is a mistake which we will be fixing this as soon as we can.

The above image is what she originally looked like before we decided to update her. We were looking to match her depiction in League as closely as possible, but after seeing the design in-game we felt it just didn't match the character we know she has the potential to be. From there we worked with a few other Riot teams who have released content featuring Miss Fortune to evolve her design closer to those pieces of content.

The change that caused this issue was intended to fix the rope layer so it correctly aligned with her hand as a few people have pointed out over the previous weeks, but in doing so we implemented the outdated version. I apologize for the mistake here and we will get this fixed soon.

Probably tomorrow. Patch goes live on wednesday, but you download it on tuesday.

Correct. Please see the top of the patch notes for the context.

A small note, that they are not a bundle, but both items are zero coins. The Rainbow Poro is in the guardians section of the store, and the Poro Pride emote is in the emote section. Pick them both up, and check out the other new emotes while you do!

Is this a sign?

Not a sign! Just had a good laugh at his comment!

Yahew

THIS WAS SO GOOD

Agreed, this is my favorite patch notes fan creation ever

lagetakethewheel

any gif of the other 4 new emotes please :v ?

I can't help with that. :( I don't work on LoR actively, I just do behind-the-scenes stuff with their team.

That's good to hear.

Since you're a Rioter, a question regarding Shadowshift: Has the bug with it not counting as a recall not been fixed? It is not in the bugfix section, and someone stated a while back (before 1.1) that it will be fixed in 1.2.

Sorry for the bug!

Just searched this up. It looks like we've fixed the bug, and may indeed be going out with the 1.2 Patch Release. I will say I'm not 100% sure of this though, considering its not in the patch notes (which might just be an accident).
