    Ask Riot: Delete Yuumi

    Reminder That Riot Gutted NA Local & State High School LoL Leagues

    Posted: 02 Jul 2020 09:09 AM PDT

    We, the community, constantly criticize the lack of new talent and player base of NA servers, but it's a problem that Riot created and perpetuates by repeatedly failing to appropriately market LoL to kids.

    Scholastic sports and competitions pave the way for kids to learn and develop their passion and skills for these activities. Esports has yet to appropriately tap into this same sphere, and attempts like Riot's completely undermine the current ecosystem in place: https://watch.lolesports.com/article/na-lol-scholastic-guidelines-update/blt68819a9891f32527

    Riot is trying to force high school's into pay-to-play PlayVS, the short & free national NASEF, or 14 day tournaments with no more than 16 schools. This makes it impossible for schools to form state leagues that properly mirror and use the existing conferences and divisions in their traditional sport or non-athletic competitions. The only real loophole that exists is to run consecutive "invitationals" and run it as a league in all but name while hoping Riot doesn't try to intervene. Riot is coming in after years of not doing anything to suddenly restrict the efforts of hundreds of schools to create quality esports leagues for their communities.

    NA amateur leagues pale in comparison to those in other regions, collegiate has no real recruiting system due to a lack of programs and leagues, and kids in esports aren't learning the intangibles necessary for them to excel in a competitive team environment. Riot's recent ruling are only exacerbating these problems.

    For reference, I run the debate and esports program at a public school of over 5000 students, and I've personally discussed these issues with Matt Birris over email and phone. Based on our conversation in the fall, there is clear cognitive dissonance in their approach. They say they want to integrate into existing systems, and then they completely force their own competitions on high schools. Check #esportedu on Twitter, or simply look at posts from the RSAA account to see examples of people wanting to fight against this for their students.

    tl;dr: Riot recently changed scholastic rules to essentially forbid high schools from creating their own equitable leagues and long-term competitions.

    Edit: One thing to note - a lot of people are saying that NA should expand amateur leagues. Sure, go for it! I'd love as many avenues of competition for my students and others as possible. No need to create a false dichotomy out of this situation. That doesn't mean we can't have state and locally operated high schools leagues directly managed by those schools for their students and communities. In debate terms, to your counterplan, I argue perm "do both".

    Hi everyone. Today my time at Riot comes to an end. It's been an honor and privilege to be able to pour my heart and energy into LoL over the years, and I'll miss being a part of the community dearly. Thank you to everyone along the way who made it such an incredible journey.

    He was the Lead Champion, Balance, and Systems Designer on League of Legends at Riot Games prior to leaving, and had a role in reworking many champions such as:

    Ashe, Rengar, Ryze, Ryze again, Taric, Urgot, and more.

    If you ever wondered why Darius destroys turrets, it's because his E armor pen passive works on turrets and synergises with demolish

    Posted: 02 Jul 2020 03:15 PM PDT

    Yeah, i don't know if this interaction was intentional, but that's why everytime he kills you he takes a couple of plates with just one demolish proc, i figured a lot of people probably didn't know.

    DRX Chovy says his mid-lane off-meta picks such as Ziggs, Gragas, and Morgana are his ideas: "cvMax would like to make me play Zoe every single time [...] I keep telling cvMax there are champions better than Zoe out there. And keep bringing new champions to him."

    There is always going to be a "diff" in every game. Pointing it out just makes you toxic.

    Posted: 02 Jul 2020 03:33 AM PDT

    League of Legends is a game built on momentum. It's pretty often that when a team gets the first dragon they're going to get the second and more than likely the soul. It's also likely that top is decided in some of their first duels and mid and bot are decided based on how pushed they are and how often the jungler shows up.

    Skill factors into it, but luck does too. As it is when someone is having a really good game that requires someone else to have a really bad game or a lot of people to have a below average game.

    This trend of "adc diff" or "Jung gap" is literally the most braindead thing you can say in any context. It's the equivalent of saying "the other team beat us because they scored more" and reeks of insecurity as you grasp for reasons why the loss wasn't actually you're fault and completely out of your hands.

    In short. Of course theres a "diff" you'd know that if there wasn't such an "IQ gap"

    Why does Riot work so hard on Featured Game modes and Maps if they only see use once?

    Posted: 02 Jul 2020 12:31 PM PDT

    Dark Rift for the Fabled DOOM BOTS, The Odyssey PBE Event, Star Guardians "Horde" Type PBE game made and, at a estimated guess, the new Ionia Nexus Blitz map. All of which have been live for one single patch before being cast into the Void to be forgotten, with only little summoner Icons to remember them by.

    My Question is why is this the case? For the most Casual Player of LoL, these game modes are a breath of fresh air that creates some truly unique experiences in game.

    For example, one thing I'll always laugh about the most from my 7 years of playing League was a DOOM BOTS game; I was trying to take dragon, when Literally every DOOM BOT swapped to summoner TP, teleported to Drake at Double the casting time, nuked me and stole the Dragon from me and my team. Was in stitches for about 10 minutes.

    I'm sure plenty of others would love to see these game modes return more frequently, as its a massive shame for these assets and fun game-types to go to waste.

    Skarner and Taliyah have one debilitating factor in common

    Posted: 02 Jul 2020 05:21 PM PDT

    Skarner and Taliyah have one debilitating factor in common

    Here's the graph showing depth and breadth from today's Ask Riot:

    https://preview.redd.it/g8spl48rbj851.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=74401ba2837b1eb27571d87f04b47108033fdeb0

    As you can see, Skarner and Taliyah are at the far bottom left. And while they're members of wildly different classes, there is one very important thing they have in common:

    They're the only champions limited in where they're allowed to stand.

    Skarner by his spires, and Taliyah by her worked ground. On one hand, Skarner's spires provide far too much of his base jungle stats despite not actually bringing him above average in clear time. On the other, Taliyah's worked ground severely nerfs her main damage ability in lane.

    Both are far more detrimental than even the next closest examples, which I would say are Ivern and Rengar who both have abilities that rely on bushes. But Ivern has his W to create them and Rengar can do the same effect when he ults.

    Which makes one of the strongest solutions pretty clear: Skarner needs to be able to place a crystal spire similar to Trundle's frozen domain, and Taliyah needs a way to un-work ground.

    Their power can be adjusted to compensate, but still they need that control. There's nothing less fun or indeed less effective than being strictly limited by where you're allowed to stand in a game that's all about constantly moving.

    Going a full game without placing a single ward in ranked should require the offender to watch a tutorial on warding before queuing again

    Posted: 02 Jul 2020 06:13 PM PDT

    It sounds crazy but I'm a silver player being queued with gold's and I've experienced it about a dozen times in the ~100 games I have played this season. In the last two cases they were supports and after checking their op.gg (to see if they were auto-filled) I discovered they were full time support mains who didn't ward almost every game.

    Warding is an essential part of the game. Heck, I started playing league at a time supports only job in competitive play was to place wards, base, and buy more wards. I understand I am coming back after a long break and the game has changed but placing 0 wards in a game should be considered borderline trolling. They are literally free.
