a few minor clarifications for components I worked on, as there have been a few changes since this was recorded

• Manual herald charges into towers does not deal extra damage. Instead it shields the player and spawns VoidMites (scaling with the number of VoidGrubs that team has taken)
• The logic for the charge cooldown is unchanged - Herald gets one charge (manual OR normal), reset only when a nearby enemy tower/inhib dies
• We expect top and mid to be less jungle influenced laning experiences, and bot lane to be about the same - and then once mid game rolls around we expect the map to be significantly more open for roams and rotations. Looking forwards to players figuring out new invade and roam angles and what places are key for warding and control

there are probably other small errors/inconsistencies (like the zhonyas statline)

They're onto us! CRAP

Do you write patch notes? Deal with legal issues?

Hello Mr riot, which team do you work in?

So we can properly assault you with a barrage of aggressive criticism 🫡

everything league game design except ranked queues/player behavior/skins

why hello there

there was a hotfix to jungle leash range, which probably has not been applied all at the same time across the various regions.

hm ya that doesn't seem right : V

Riot Beluga Whale back at it again with random Katarina buffs.

Pretty sure that's the same rioter who went on a huge rant about adcs on the kat mains sub years ago which created the ranged unavoidable damage and adcs being inherently op memes xd

You mean this post? https://www.reddit.com/r/KatarinaMains/comments/a27250/is_this_supposed_to_happen_w_bug/eb376o5/

give teemo a tiny roll

the 5g is subtracted from the kill gold on the ward. for wards with less than 5g bounty (zombie wards), you shouldn't be getting any gold.

The first person to attack the ward will also count as tracking it, granting them 5g (and taking it out of the wards kill bounty)

The 30s auto pop-up is just for preseason exposure and will be disabled in the long run.

Any player can start the vote 90s before the obj spawns, and they can do so by clicking the timer on the scoreboard, or by pinging most relevant pings (don't recall exactly which ones off the top of my head - something like: Blue, OMW, All In, Attack, Hold?) around the dragon/baron pit area where it would spawn (or on the obj itself), or by just actually attacking it while not in combat with enemy champions.

What's the design philosophy behind adding % Max HP damage on W? He isn't coating his fists in anything when activating W. So technically his fists are the same pre and post W.

F=ma of course

Sry the kennen change was accidentally partially left in from some pulled explorations

HeyItsPreston

I mean there's something to be said for making solo lane/ jungle Blitzcrank into a 30% WR total troll champion to a 45% WR bad champion.

This man gets it

refuse_2_wipe_my_ass

can you explain the design philosophy behind keeping the self slow on W?

he ran out of steam
