Hello! Happened to come across this, thanks for sharing it. I don't work on League anymore as I have moved to our research and development group, but I chat regularly with the folks who would work on something like this.

Can you provide more detail on your idea?

It really wasn't that long. But it was pretty smart.

It was just intended as a compliment to OP. I don't work on that team anymore, but I could see how a little cheat sheet or better signaling in the client could help make this clear.

I still wanna thank you for your effort in last years rank specific roles.

I dont want you guys to give up on that. I enjoyed it, minus the autofilling. If it wasnt for that, it was fucking awesome.

Also, you guys are making changes so people get their roles later on this year within this season a bit more. So im begging you to retry that feature and make it work. As long as people have their assigned roles its super healthy for the game.

Thanks brother. Stay awesome.

Thank you!

Hopefully this doesn’t come off as too weird, but I recently graduated from a UX/UI bootcamp and would love to be able to pick your brain about your journey and how you got started in the design field!

Sure, shoot me a DM and I can give you my discord info.

Hey good work so far with what you've done with League! TFT is by far the best in its genre and it looks fantastic (it also has a super clean UI)!

Thank you. There are some really dedicated and talented designers working on it, so the credit really belongs to them. :)

as always, rioters only come out to reply when it is about shit like this lmao. and when it comes to those posts about why inters, trolls, preseason problematic matchmaking, these rioters just hide themselves.

I try to strike a good balance. I think you'll find if you read back through the years of my comments, many of them tackle difficult questions from players, even specifically about Ranked issues.

It's easy for a wide variety of Rioters to engage in a lighthearted way, whereas it's pretty tough to engage on nuanced or contentious issues because the only people who should be doing that are Rioters with deep knowledge of the topic and the ability to talk about it in a productive way.

Totally understand your underlying frustration. I just want to share some additional context on why this might be true.

Hi Sap, when I check the website most of them are on the design side :) https://www.riotgames.com/en/university-programs

Oh yeah! Sorry, minor terminology difference: those are art internships. Design for us encompasses UX and game design.

Ranked UX design or ranked the game system? If the latter, that's pretty cool Riot lets people float from UX roles over to more general system design roles.

On Ranked I was the product lead. There's a good amount of flexibility within Riot in general, especially among product/game design/UX design. It's helpful for getting people to be well-rounded and take on new challenges.

We don't have many internships on the design side, but for engineering there are opportunities. I think they're all posted on riotgames.com.

Dang! I was hoping it would come out in the next week or so. My mother is resting after surgery and is stir crazy, was gonna try and get her into it lol.

Happy Friday my dude!

I'd love that too, but we want to make sure you can enjoy it before we make it available!

Goamoth

that's the way to do it! people rush games out way too much nowadays. I've been wanting to play TFT but I just don't find enjoyment from it on PC. Mobile however, definitely think it'll be worth the wait!

There will be rough edges still when we ship, but we want to make it a good experience.

So... When for TFT mobile beta? :)

Hopefully soon! We are gonna be taking things slow to make sure we can get a stable experience on the broad range of devices players have.

Sap doesn't accept bribes. Also I don't work on anything related to skins ;-;

Dontforgetthat

what do you work on ? Just curious

Right now I'm the UX lead for TFT Mobile. Before that, I did the same on TFT, and before that I was the lead for the Ranked team.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Hey, what the...

shirokite

Any plans to roll it out on ipad as well?

Can’t promise anything on tablets at the moment. We’d like to support them if we can.

leo158

Will the mobile players be playing alongside PC players? Or does it have a server of its own?

That’s the goal. There may be some exceptions to that.

Fawful

Any chance Australia gets access to beta? Feels like it's always a NA thing.

We don’t know which regions we’ll test in first.

Also, hey, wait, didn’t OCE get TFT first? :D
