Wow Kalista and thresh left out :( kalista is understandable because she already got redone(and it’s much better).
I AM SO SAD SPOOPY GREEN GHOST IS MY BOY!!!!
We're hoping to do more of these in the future, so I'd love to go back and talk about the ones we missed in here. They all have really interesting stories. I can't count the amount of times UNCONKABLE repeated that when we were talking.
Thank you Riot Cashmiir. You have made a man's day.
Also, that name is very cool :D
Awww shucks you.
Lol ty! I've been using it for years. Since Classic Runescape through Vanilla WoW up to now. :D
Edit: Your name is the bane of my existence. Second only to Num Lock.
It was nice to get an insight as a new player, I'm having a lot of fun so far with my good ole pal TF. As much as it was nice to get an insight though, it felt like this was just a flavour of the full creative process, is there any more content that goes in-depth on card design and the creative process from a mechanical sense that people know of? Would be very interesting for me
This is something we'd like to do in the future!
The article was a very interesting read, especially as it helped me learn a bit more about the different regions! Also hearing that one of the devs is a fan of yugioh put a smile on my face. However, I’m still very new to the lore as this is the only game I’ve played, didn’t know anything about League of Legends before this. I wanted to ask, what’s the difference between Runeterra and the summoners rift? Is that a different region not in the game yet?
Summoner's Rift used to be a central area where combatants from Runeterra came to fight. I'm not sure if that's still the case or not.
But ST is just the name of the main map in League. So it's not exactly a natural environment for these champions.
Just asking will you do this for every single champ
I would love to! LoR is great and I really love learning about this and sharing it.

That would be great! While this text talked about some instances of champions for which the LOL mechanics were hard to translate into card games (fast!), what makes me more curious is how you guys came up with some of the designs that are more unique to card games and don't really match much with their LoL-selves (Maokai with toss/mill, Nautilus with Deep, ...).
Also would love to hear the history behind Swain's design, as I feel like he has a lot of different facets that could have ended up with very different versions of the champion card.
Would love to do more of these and cover those champs! I'm also very interested to know that!
Hey Cash, a bit late to the party here but is there anything you can share about Quinn's development process and why the devs designed her the way they did/where they took inspiration from?
As a Quinn main from League going on 5 years now, I absolutely LOVE playing her and her team of rangers in LoR - not only due to their amazing theme and visuals, but also because of the Scout mechanic that accompanies them. Forcing fights feels so good, especially in combination with Rally.
This is coming from someone who's never played card games before and swore he'd be disappointed if Riot released one! I'm having a blast so far and feel incredibly grateful to have my favorite champion in the game, so thank you :)
I didn't get a chance to talk to the team about Set 2, but I'll see if we can cover her in a later article maybe!
My manager is also a Quinn main, and as a Yuumi main, there's nothing I love more than running at someone with Youmuu's Zoomies and just obliterating them in one shot. So I'm pretty in love with her LoR mechanic. :D
I say A - feel - ee - os, probably not quite accurate. I definitely butchered the pronounciation of that name (and some others) to make that clue!
Can confirm, is incorrect.
It's A-fell-ee-os.
I heard Interlocutioner say it about 50 times.
This is an odd but good time as any question then, are you guys planning to update the Voli plush then to match his VGU?
Not sure. That's a question for the Merch team. I can ask!
If he is anything like Sett then I am gonna quite league for a while, halve a year probably. because I want nothing to do with a juggernaut like that.
You leave my sweet baby boy Settrigh alone, you MONSTER.
While you’re granting wishes, please tell me you’re giving Evelynn the hybrid scaling that was removed with her rework, since it was such a huge part of her champions identity
I am but a lowly meme regurgitating writer who has played like 4 games of post-rework Eve and never pre-rework. So I cannot help. D:
please tell me you are releasing teddy bears of voli very soon as well
define very soon please :)
Is now soon enough?
The good ol'Rioter move.
You discuss things about the game: no rioter appears (which i get, there are the same threads every week/day)
You talk about chicken: u/Cashmiir "Now this looks like a job for me!"
I don't work on League so I can't comment on things directly about it. :( I don't want to misrepresent myself to anyone and promise things I can't deliver on. If you want some spicy memes I'm your person. But I do try to pass on stuff from Reddit to the right people.
I fucking LOVE chickens.
Holy moly. That's not a chicken. That's a tiny dinosaur.
It's a Brahma chicken! They're one of my favorite breeds (behind the Ayam Cemani chicken and Polish crested chickens). They used to be the main meat chicken breed in the US.
That one's way bigger than normal and looks like it's even bigger than a Jersey Giant, which iirc is the largest breed of chicken.
Don’t need it now that TFT is out, can just wait on the toilet until it dries up down there
The tears from all of my losses keep me clean. 😢
Fuck I went like a week without listening to this. Thank you.
Please revert Sona to her original kit
That's just too far.
I really want the sound as my notification
It's the last sound clip in this article.
Someone should be able to make it from that!
That makes me wonder how they recorded that. Some guy was just breathing into a microphone and the SFX guy worked their magic?
It's Riot Sound Bear screaming and pigs.
I cover it in the last section of this article.
