Have you guys received word of the concerns that mastery seems like it is becoming more of a "participation" reward, instead of a system that rewards good performance and champion knowledge?
If you have, I'm wondering if there are any steps being made towards changing that outcome (or if you believe the system already proposed with the new changes works fine)
I do not believe that the changes we are proposing make mastery less demanding of players than the current system.
Hey all, I was summoned by someone linking to my twitter. 👻 I am sorry I went radio silent after the last post, I got sucked into a bunch of other things!
Super glad people are excited, and we were able to address some of the feedback we received the last time we talked about things publicly.
First, we've made it so that Champion Titles are now unlocked permanently at mastery level 10, rather than being a seasonal repeatable reward.
Second, we've done a bit of work on the mastery crests themselves specifically focused on better differentiating the higher levels from each other.
And to +1 the OP, we will not be removing previous progress as part of this system. We're working on the calculations for conversion right now.
Here's a very WIP teaser of some of the level up celebrations we are working on. (Things will change and improve, one of them is missing a wing 😆)
Read moreWe'll talk a bit about where Champion Mastery is up to in the next Dev Update which we'll be filming next week. Some refinements, no massive changes to the system or timelines though.
Setting all of your mastery to 0 atm.
This feels like they're soft launching a post about how it's our fault the new mastery system isn't out, we weren't cheering hard enough.
This feels like a big misunderstanding of the Rioter's tweet.
The way I understand what he said here is "Adjusting the feature to match players feedbacks would push it later than our plan, but it's much better to deliver later a feature you guys like, rather than earlier one you dislike"
There is no gaslighting in his tweet whatsoever, at least per my understanding
Correct, I just meant that if doing the thing that makes people happy takes longer, it will take longer.
Real life hitting the shower thought like a brick.
To be very clear I was trying to respect the idea by “strengthening it through the crucible of critique” as my old buddy Sapmagic used to say.
Some questions I would ask a designer who proposed this:
- What is your actual goal here? I am inferring that it is: Make people care about honor more and therefore be more prosocial and less toxic. What other ways have you considered to accomplish this?
- Ranked is not all of our hours, how does this function in queues that do not have LP?
- How would you account for premades primarily honoring each other today?
- Do you think its positive that you are tying the honor vote in some way to a system that is suggestive of playing well as opposed to being v chill? What happens when we cross those streams?
- Is 1 LP a meaningful reward for people? Why not higher? At what point are the constraints of your solution fighting the impact it could have?
- How does this impact the ranked system over time? Would people have less confidence in it if they thought there were folks who were "Honor inflated"?
I ain't reading all that
I'm happy for u tho
Or sorry that happened

Nice job on the challenge!
If you can find out, DM me the name he plays under and the server.
The name will be something like: BoyFriendName#1234
And the server will be something like: North America, Latin America, etc.
I'll toss some stuff his way (After I check that he is a nice player :D )
whaaaaa this rules!
My god I was sweating the entire time watching.
I'd say we should be able to FF even earlier than that, but I think the FF vote I want to implement was just banned in several states...
bruh
Putting in a feature request to have a surrender button on the homescreen of the Riot Mobile app so you can wake up and immediately surrender before even starting your day/games.
This is my favorite content so far today.
Hell yeah. Spamming U IRL rn
corpo speak for "not cost efficient, we deliberately didn't do it lol"
Nah. Reality is that there is a lot going on and it slipped our minds. I never heard a proposal for it that I shot down or anything like that on the basis of cost. Its also not a process for us yet. In 2018 some dev probably thought of it and folks rallied and helped them do it. If no one thinks of it, it doesn't get done.
On the flip side, we're taking this stuff more seriously from now on so its good to get the feedback that folks appreciate and missed things like this.
[Serious] Will there be a League of Legends 2?
There's an argument to be made that based on where it started and where we are that we are already playing League 3 or 4.
If it ever made more sense for us to create a new title rather than continuously update our existing one I suppose we would do that. Right now though, focused on making League the best it can be.

They've been a bit tricky to get made (production-wise), but we are exploring how we can bring those back - we love them as well!

Hey dev team, I really enjoyed the season launch missions from previous years, especially the mystery champion & riddles from last year. Was wondering why you didn't do them this year since they've been a tradition since 2018?
One of the things we are talking about a lot internally is how to tie together all of the different things we do into a cohesive narrative for folks to engage in. When we do this well it rules and when we don't it feels like League is a bunch of different teams all trying to do stuff.
You're describing one tactic we might use to do this: narrative integration with missions.
Should be more to talk about next Season, but both sorry we missed the opportunity this year and excited about what's to come.
