I got much positive feedback from my Colorful Jett image that I made, which you can find here: https://imgur.com/gallery/k4CEgiO Because of this, I made a second image, this time of Sage: https://imgur.com/gallery/tnIaaHF Hope you guys enjoy it as much as you did the first one!
YAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Who's your favourite agent, and what are your favourite colours? 👀
Me? :)
My favorite agent to play is Sova. But I have a serious love of Viper. She's just got so much swagger.
My favorite colors are...colorful lol. It's hard for me to pick one. I do have favorite color combinations, though! Purple-blue-fuchsia... yellow-green-blue... dark pink-orange-yellow ... I love how those colors look together =D
I shall call these..."the get rekt squad"
Thank you so much for sharing :)
Nice to meet you too!
creeped and followed and reposted on Twitter. I hope that's okay!
Hello, I made this animated wallpaper for Viper and posted this thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/VALORANT/comments/fvzuhz/i_made_an_animated_wallpaper_for_viper_loops/Links to the video files / stills / and the Wallpaper Engine steam workshop are in that thread as well. The video posted in the thread is just the promotional version of it, all the links go to
ones without all the audio fluff and socials. Hope you enjoy!
ahh, that shoulder sway. You nailed that swagger =D. That's my favorite part about her
u/aeneia I heard that you like Sova, so I made you a Sova graphic! Enjoy! https://imgur.com/gallery/OxGlWTM
This INSTANTLY became my background. That's so unbelievably kind of you. Thank you so much Friffle <3 Really. (I also just had two really high performing games and this freaking made my night. Thank you. Thank you thank you thank you <3 <3 <3)
Thanks for putting this together, Celianna! If you enjoy doing this kind of thing, I'd totally recommend you get some stat classes and research under your belt. Imagine all the cool things you can show us when you can do correlations! Moderating effects! MULTILEVEL MODELS!
Sincerely, a researcher who gets very nerdy about her work <3

Will we ever get a survey on how long we think Riv's beard should be
From Riot, no. From me? Maybe. Probably. Be warned, though. I might skew that data based on my own preferences XD.
I just wanted to say I really enjoy the surveys amd always look forward to them when I get selected! For the most part, I find them thorough enough and well-written, although for certain surveys it's hard when most of my purchases are limited to my small pool of champions (not buying Passes isn't because of low value, etc.) Thanks for your hard work!
Thank you so much :). We really appreciate you taking them! There are a TON of people who just click out of the prompt, and I can't blame them. Not everyone has time to go through a survey. So it means a lot when people do take the time :)
That makes perfect sense then. I didn't realize there were that many sets. Thank you for answering!
My pleasure! Thanks for engaging and wanting to know more :) fistbump
Hey there!
I am a little curious about the decision to use Max Diffs instead of a rank ordering question when you only have 4 items per set. Rank ordering is normally fine until you have seven or more items, and would offer more detail. Was it just a matter of your initial question being more focused on extreme preferences? Maybe you already had a vague estimation of preferences (which seems likely), and designed the survey moreso for clarification?
Hey there! Asking players to rank-order a set of 4 questions 12 times (or even like 6) is a HUGE cognitive ask! It probably would take them half an hour to have filled out the survey. We try to keep our surveys shorter, when possible, to respect player time. Also, Max Diffs work either by selecting the "most" option, or the "most" and "least" option. Sawtooth software doesn't currently offer a "rank the full set" option, although that would theoretically reduce the amount of screens we have to show. We use the "most" and "least" because it gives us the most data possible.
As for the vague estimation of preferences, we know that we (as Rioters) have a super different experience of the game than players. This is especially true of PIE, the team who works on things like Skins, Loot, Event Passes, and other in-game products. We want to make sure we don't bias the results by assuming our understanding is representative of player experience.
Thanks for the question :)
Read moreWhy would you continue to revise a survey after release? That invalidates the earlier results, because a change in wording or anything will mean the results could have been different for earlier surveyors and should not be used..
For this survey in particular, we're doing an "alpha" release from now until December in just a couple of regions. The finalized version of the survey will be ready to go at the start of 2020. Yes, we won't be able to track things longitudinally for these first three months. However, we'll be able to get some preliminary information (like, "What is seriously on fire right now for our players?) to help make more immediate decisions.
That way, once the survey is fully ready and good to go, we'll be confident that we're asking the right questions in the right way.
Read moreIs the "I don't understand how multiple currencies work" sentence intentional? Because I do understand how it works but I still hate it and it puts me off a bit usually. So I really wouldn't know if I should pick it in the last question or not.
This is intentional, yes! If we find that this isn't an issue at all for players (and it's just wasted space on the survey), that question may very well get replaced with something like "Riot has too many alternate currencies." I won't know until I see the data!
That said, a massive overhaul of all our alternate currencies makes me want to cry lol...RIP.
Another reason other than honesty check can be to avoid miscategorizing people with smurfs / multiple accounts. If someone gets a survey on their smurf that is registered with a different email, it could be misleading as to their actual behavior as a player in league.
Say they have never purchased a skin on their smurf but have a ton of skins on their main, their behavioral profile is very different from someone who truly has never bought a skin :)
@thugginuggs in for the nami support
"Filtering out troll responses"- i guess people who are unhappy with current state of the game are trolls now
Hey there! Troll responses are responses that are invalid, and do not reflect real-world behavior. For example, if a player says, "Yes, I've purchased an Event pass," but they HAVEN'T actually purchased an Event Pass, it indicates that they aren't answering the survey honestly. That would be a "troll" response.
If a player says, "Yes I've purchased an Event Pass, and I fucking hate them. They're terrible. Riot you suck." when they HAVE actually purchased an Event Pass, that is NOT a "troll" response, and would therefore be treated as a valid player opinion.
I hope this clears things up :)
Read moreI'm familiar with MaxDiff and it works really well for preferential options. The example the Sawtooth gives is ice cream flavors I believe?
Interestingly enough the same process is often used for other online tools to help you narrow down your "favorites" for various things. The Pokemon Picker is a good example.
However that's most effective in my experience when comparing preferences on like things that tend to be on equal ground objectively. I'm not entirely sure that translates well to this particular survey.
> There's more to the repeated questions than just filtering out troll responses
I am aware of this. My original post doesn't object to repeating specific options at all.
Thanks for replying! I didn't think you were objecting, but I think I misinterpreted your comment: "By repeating questions and options you can better ensure consistent responses to gain more accurate results. This combats people who just click through a survey without reading it." as being limited to just addressing click-through ("troll") responses, not being essential to the design of the survey. My apologies there for misunderstanding.
As for your point on objectivity, I'd love to see any academic papers you can point me to so that I can better understand your point. While objectively equal and subjectively different items would be IDEAL for a super clean Max Diff, I've never read anything to suggest that its methodology is inappropriate for something like this.
I don't want to dive too deeply into Reddit debates, so I'll probably sign off here. I appreciate your input -- this survey is iterative, so we're continuing to improve it (design-wise and player-experience-wise) over ...
Read moreIt's to make sure the person is actually reading the questions/answering honestly.
If they are answering wrong to objective questions you already know the answer to, then the result of the rest of the survey is probably not accurate either.
Think about this in real life. If you asked somebody what their name is and they lie to you even if you have it written in front of you, wouldnyou trust what they say afterward?
*fistbump*
You could really use some rewording for that last section too. Either reword each option as a problem, or reword the question as "Tick all options you find to be true".
Thanks for that! We're continuing to revise this survey as results come in, so it's still very much in the editable phase. Knowing that this is confusing or feels bad is super valuable. Thanks again :)
