Doh, I can't read. Thanks
Same tho
NO WAY THEY BUFF HUAWEI NO WAY
NO HWEI*
Baron Nashor
- Movement speed: 300 lol
where is bro going
We aren't quite sure...
Which is apparently not part of Hourglass, somehow. Unless that is a typo in the patch notes. Recipe lists Hourglass as having Verdant Barrier in it instead.
It's was a typo, the actual recipe is Needlessly Large Rod + Seeker's Armguard + 400g
Did you make this only so you could say HweiMA?
Buff to 333 move speed when?
MISSED OPPORTUNITY
Why is Hwei?
Everyone asks why is Hwei, but no one ever asks how is Hwei
Can we have a hidden passive, where his pings become "On the Hwei"?
Where were you when we started development?
does he lay egg?
For Emizery, can you share any cool scrapped Hwei spells tested in development and was it hard to make 10 different spells gel into a single kit
For any art folks, what were the art goals with Hwei and how did you guys determine his color palette, since Ionia doesnt really have any unifying colors among champs
For Riru, with Hwei having 10 different spells, shall I look for 10x more typos when he shows up in the patch notes
As it turns out, number of abilities doesn't correlate to typos otherwise champions would have 0 abilities because I've nevr made a typo.
Can you please tell balance team to not buff him since he is fine and people are just now realizing he’s ok?
After careful review of this pitch the team gas agreed that Hwei will be getting more nerfs instead
Hello Redditors and aspiring Hwei mains!
We’re some of the dev team members that brought you League’s most recent champion, Hwei, and we’re here to answer your questions! Hwei’s been leaving his mark on the Rift for about a week now, so we figured this would be a good time to say hi and see if you have any burning questions you’re looking to ask.
This AMA will run from 10am-12pm PT, but a few Rioters will likely stick around to keep answering questions afterwards.
Rioters joining the AMA will include:
Riot_Riru (Community Manager) | RiotEmizery (Game Design) | orkidian (Narrative Writer) | NeoLexical (Team Lead) | ProfRincewind (VO Producer) | RiotComrade (Researcher) | Etlios (QA Engineer) | Riot_Wubs (Sound Design)
Let’s kick it off!!
EDIT: And we're at time! Thank you so much to everyone that dropped by and asked questions about our broody painter boy, Hwei. A few of us will be staying around to keep answering questions, but until next time looking forward to seeing all of ...
Read moreIs it possible to queue up as 6 in Arena? From what i read is just 2, 3, 4 or 8.
Just 2, 3, 4, and 8 at the moment. The team couldn’t add 5-7 players due to match fixing concerns
Any idea if arena is here to stay or is it just a RGM?
It’s here as a RGM for this launch. No news to share on whether or not it will be permanent though
Arena returns this patch. There is an encyclopedia of champion adjustments.
Imagine being the sucker that had to type those out
Unending Despair doesn’t have a name for it’s passive.
Is that intentional or a mistake?
Not everything has names yet so some are just passive for now
FYI @ rioters lurking TFT patch link seems to be broken.
Working on this now, thanks!
These are also, apparently, 250ME each (500ME for both) according to SkinSpotlights
Hey there, wanted to apologize for the confusion here. Redeemed Star Guardian Rakan (and Xayah) will be available for direct purchase with RP similar to Legendary skins (1820 RP) when they're live. We're also going to be doing a bundled discount for the two of them for 2002 RP. They will be purchasable for a limited time until the end of the year directly for RP, after that we'll vault them, similar to them being available for a limited time in WR. We apologize for the confusion. Thanks!
I know most people don't care about how well the patch notes are written, but Riru has been doing a fantastic job with context, especially in the last 2 patches.
Thanks! A lot of it has been going back and forth with asking the devs questions so we can be more clear around specific points.
For example, with Tryn last patch it was obvious +50 range would be a hot topic so we tried to tackle the question "why exactly are we buffing Tryn with 50+ attack range and how do we explain this in a way that will make sense to players and shows that we believe this will be the best direction for Tryn going forward?"
Some people will always disagree with us, but the least we can do is provide some insight for players that want to try and understand where the team is coming from.
Also having a team of incredibly knowledgeable devs like u/phroxz0n and u/PhreakRiot (to name just 2) writing and screening the context is a HUGE help.
Anyway there's some behind the scenes of patch notes but really appreciate your comment - seeing this made my day!
Read moreHey there, I'm sorry about the incorrect information that made it into the patch notes recently. I do my best to make sure everything that goes into the notes is accurate, but i'm only human and sometimes I do make mistakes. When I realize there are issues I try to correct them ASAP, but obviously players that read them immediately on release still see the incorrect information.
I am working to make sure these issues become less and less frequent and eventually disappear altogether though, so I hope you'll continue to read the patch notes.
