The title is misleading. The HoneyFruit is not an item. I have reported this post.

Thank you for your diligence, summoner

How did you know that I have Sasquatch arms???

pee matches "speed" in the item stats and poo matches "spooky" in the item active description, I would imagine

I sure hope this is the real reason lol

How do you even confirm someone is Marc Merrill in an online game? I've only ever seen him in game as Riot Tryndamere, but if someone named MarcMerrill in classic wow I would just rub it off as an impostor.

It was probably him. My dude has multiple characters going in WoW Classic

“Aspires to” ain’t a promise. But it is honest. We’ll see what we can pull off!

maybe /u/The_Cactopus could shed some light on this line of thinking

We first explained this here: https://nexus.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/2017/12/ask-riot-urf/

Key passage for this convo:

Every time we ran regular URF, we’d see a huge spike of games being played, and then the numbers actually dropped back down to a level that’s lower than it was just before we ran URF.

How much of TFT is coded as a minion?

I assume all of it.

Not a game dev in any sense but TFT uses the same engine, models, etc as base league, that’s why it’s considered a game mode. These other games are essentially being built from the ground up.

You nailed it. TFT basically uses ALL of the same infrastructure as League. That means you don't have to rebuild tons of stuff from scratch, and the humans working with the tools are already extremely comfortable with them. There are some downsides to the approach we used for TFT, but the upside is vastly higher dev speed (at least to start with).

League of legends dead game confirmed by cacotopus himself bois pack it up

It's really important for players to understand that when we announce new games, it IS the end of the world and—further—our fans should consider any non-PC game from Riot to be a personal attack on them, their families, and their very way of life.

Thanks and GGs summoners!

Does this count the

  • Esports team ?

  • Music team ?

  • Skins team ?

and others things like that cause if 20% is only working on the balance changes and game/champion designs then it make sense

Yes to skins and cosmetics and any engineering/design/art work on the game itself. Along with marketing (that's me!)

Music is actually its own separate part of the org. Esports is separate too, and it's VERY BIG AND EXPENSIVE.

Balance team is a small fraction of that 20%. Hundreds of people work directly on League PC, and there'll be hundreds working on it for many many years to come.

Probably not? Too many shared assets.

At any rate, we don't currently have any plans to move it off.

i just tried this and interestingly enough uyghurs isn't filtered but uyghur is

Gonna go look into this right now. Sometimes our system bans really weird words for no good reason. That said it would be compete bullshit to intentionally ban the name of any ethnic group. Will update when I find out more.

UPDATE: Effective immediately this is fixed on live in all Riot Regions. We'll be spending the next few weeks triaging with our global teams to review our "disallowed words/phrases" lists and update accordingly.
