Love the sparks on Tryndamere’s blade as he moves around now. Really adds to the fantasy of him being a badass barbarian with a huge heavy sword.
definitely. Pretty much every skin in recent memory has been fantastic even if some were a bit controversial. let everyone in the creative teams know that their work hasnt gone unnoticed!
Will absolutely share that. It’s the support from all of you that keeps us pushing to be better tomorrow than we are today. :)
Just absolutely love the dedication and drive that both Faker and the rest of SKT have. Really looking forward to the next competitive split. The storylines leading up to worlds are likely to be nuts.
do you know when the skin will roughly reappear as gem stone skin?
Currently slated to appear in In gem shop starting in patch 9.14.
I wish I could upvote this more than once.
Before working at Riot, I worked at a variety of other companies that would rarely if ever give away free content, and then furthermore their paid content was often pay for power, putting free players at a massive disadvantage to paying players.
Glad to work on a game where you can’t buy in-game stats. Even happier to work for a company that’s not so tight fisted when it comes to giving away free content.
Thanks for the kind words u/Karbairusa.
LCS please. I need a weekly segment tracking Rick Fox's ranked progress. He represents the good and purity of NA.
I would tune in every week for this alone.
Something I've always appreciated about Riot is not paywalling everything possible. It really feels like the people at Riot really understand that a quality experience leads to more long term gains.
I work in sales and marketing for a small, family-owned, business and have carried that idea with me to pretty good success. It has lead to initial talks from the owner, who was concerned about me giving options to customers for free, but they were very pleased when the good-will lead to more revenue a few months later.
Kinda weird, since I'm a customer Riot profits from, but I gotta give them props. Once I realized it was working on me, I learned to apply it in real life to decent success.
It’s hard for many game companies to think past the current quarter’s results which ultimately ends up creating behaviors that prioritize short term revenue over long term player trust.
Really happy to hear that you’re finding ways to build relationships with your customers in a way that works for your business. :)
I’ve really been enjoying these as well. I think these updates are not only improving clarity and learnability of gameplay but also clarity and strength of character fantasy.
If I’m playing a game and I make a mistake, then see a teammate is going to flame or be disruptive in chat, then I’ll mute them and do my best to shake it off and focus.
The other thing is if you play with friends, make sure you choose friends that are more focused on having fun than winning.
Playing League is all about having a good time and peeling away at that never ending onion of mechanics, strategy, and game knowledge. Try to be a positive force for change in your games and mute when it’s getting to your head.
TF originally having his ultimate as a regular skill was balanced.
My favorite thing about jungling is that it’s a role that’s always about opportunity costs and making decisions with imperfect information.
If you farm an extra camp, your forgo tanking a lane. If you gank a lane, your camps go unfarmed. All of this while there is another player somewhere else hidden on the map that’s making the same set of decisions for their team.
That being said, when you jungle well, you can be highly influential in a game. Also when you out jungle an opponent, you’ll feel like you’ve downloaded their patterns into your brain and know their every move before they make it, which can be ultra satisfying for some people.
If all of this sounds exciting to you, then jungling is definitely worth pursuing.
A couple of solid resources for me have been foxdrop and Virkayu’s YouTube channels. They have a great mix of champion specific jungle guides along with broader tips for all junglers.
Read moreThis product is still in the works. We’ll be communicating and sharing more details as we get closer to launch.
You ever get tired of telling people that?
Maybe just shorten it to be like Blizzard: Soon (TM)
That “Soon” is trademarked so don’t wanna step to close to that. Jokes aside new features like this have to be rolled out carefully in order to ensure stability and quality of the broader League of Legends service. So no, I’m not tired yet. :)
Will launch be this year?
With the risk of people quoting me in the future if we don’t deliver, I can confidently say that it’s coming out this year.
I was really hoping we'd get to see something this month but at least I can look forward to it this year. Any chance you can give us a hint on what the product will be?
As excited as I am for the product, really would be a disservice to the team to spoil the eventual announce. More details to come. ;)
Had to try lol. I'm looking forward to whatever the team brings to League, keep up the good work!
Can’t blame you for trying. :)
As always we’re incredibly grateful for your patience and support. League would be nothing without our fans, so thanks actually goes to you.
(little off topic: are you italian?)
Sorry to disappoint but no am not. :)
