There is three, actually.
My brother, who is also a Rioter, is a Skarner main. So I guess that's four.
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.
Is there any place where I can see the new emotes animated yet?
Here's a janky (pixelated) confetti poro from Riotgames.com!
Maybe use it similar to Heimer's "I just topdecked lethal" but when you literally only had 1 out?
It's in here! :D
It would be crazy if there was some way to quickly communicate all of that with your voice to your teammates. O well, maybe in another 100 years.
Doesn't solve the problem. Even if I get on voice chat with my solo queue team they won't understand me. I'm a boosted ape.
Will it only be here for a month again or for the whole year? I'd pay money to keep this trans flag trail all year long because I love it so much
I believe it's just for the month and not the full year.
Same D: I wanna fly my bi-pride bb.
hey mr rioter does the special homeguard thing still apply if i have the icon from last year equipped?
Yes! The original Rainbow Fluft has the same rainbow homeguard trail!
Can someone show all of them? The colors etc
I don't have an image or gif of all of them. I think someone posted one in the comments somewhere. But I have this, though.
Ty for the cool stuff, I think it genuinely means more than people give credit. We all out here gay af in 2020.
I only worked on some of the comms around it (posts coming out ON May 17). The team deserves all the credit in the world for the hard work they did.
how long will this stay? i wanna keep the transgender trail forever!
I believe through Pride month (June), but I can double check!
Yep, a different one for each icon even, I think.
This is correct! There's a unique homeguard trail per icon!
Omg, I'm honored of that! :] Thank you so much for your kind words. They really makes me happy!
Your cosplay is seriously great! I sent it to Lonewingy (Sett's original artist) and Riot Earp (he worked on the Mecha Kingdoms skin) when you first posted!
I just want you to know at least five other Rioters have sent me your cosplay. My love of Sett knows no bounds. This is beautiful. 10/10, sent it to my mom.
Super interesting read. I love getting insights into Riot’s creative process - both on this game and on League.
Glad you liked it! It was the first time I've been able to work with the LoR team, and it was really delightful. They're incredibly talented. I hope I can do more of these in the future!
You can't just tell me there was a Heimerdinger alternate wincon but not reveal what it was
UNCONKABLE would be able to shed more light on it. But if I remember correctly it was trying to build tons of turrets. It's similar to how he ended up, but I can't remember what the wincon part was.
That was worth every minute reading. A bit bummed out you didn't get to share some of the other champions' background, but I still really appreciate this post and this amazing game!
When going into the meetings with the devs I have an idea of the general topic, and then just kinda wing it when I ask them questions. When I transcribe the meeting (bane of my existence) I figure out what I want the story to look like. Unfortunately for this one I realized after the meeting that I wanted to talk about the champs separately. And I didn't really have a meaningful story to tell about every single one. One of my drafts had a few fun facts about the others, but it just felt like a disservice.
Based on the Braum flair I can tell you this: Braum's earliest iteration was basically just a set it and forget it. Basically, you'd select another card and he'd take all the damage for that card. It just didn't really feel super exciting to play, so the team tried other things until landing on what he has now. :D
Read moreThank you for sharing! Truth be told, I was anticipating to see Braum while I was reading the article heh. I'm glad you guys settled with the current version, I feel it really does fit Braum better. :D
I know, I'm bummed I didn't get to add him. I play him a lot in League and he has a special place in my heart (EVEN IF I HATE FRELJORD DECKS WITH ALL OF MY BEING).
I can't make promises, but I'd love to do more of these and cover the other champs we didn't get to talk about. Fingers crossed!
Wasn't LoR Senna developed before LoL Senna?
Yes! I worked with Senna's DNA team and one of the things we talked about (but didn't talk about in the article because it was uncharted territory at the time) was Senna's LoR and League development timelines.
Okay, I wasn't very sure of my claim, and I wasn't expecting Riot Cashmiir to answer me.
Just to be clear, LoR Senna was developed before LoL Senna?
Yes! LoR Senna was developed before LoL Senna, but the teams worked together closely to ensure there was a consistent story and that both versions of Senna were representative of who she is.
Edit: Grammar. WrItEr AcKsHuAlLy
Thanks for the insight ! You didn't talk about Freljord, but I really like how Ashe and Sejuani complement nicely each other, both for leveling conditions and when they are leveled up.
When you do Lissandra, it would be cool (haha) if she had an ability like "Whenever you Frostbite an enemy, deal 1 to the enemy Nexus". This way, when all 3 of them are leveled up and attacking, you get a big wombo combo !
I shall pass this feedback on to the team, but I can't make promises. I'm just a writer and have no influence over the game's design. :)
But that would be pretty solid and absolutely horrifying. Thanks. I hate it. :D
