    Can Master Yi be reworked already ?

    Posted: 13 Jan 2021 12:07 PM PST

    I don't even care if he is strong or weak right now but whenever he is on the enemy team, Master Yi is a constant source of stress, mainly for two reasons:

    1. Early game: you're constantly worried about someone on your team giving him 1 or 2 kills while overextending in some lane because you know if this happens he will snowball out of control
    2. Mid and late game: every single team fight, whether he is fed or not, is about him. This feeling comes close to knowing you have a bomb in your hand and 5 seconds to disarm it. The stress now gets worse if he is building Duskblade.

    After playing against a Master Yi and winning, I don't even feel happy. I just feel tired. Thankful that it finally ended, maybe.

    No other character is such a constant source of concern in this game, and yes, I could ban him, but there are other more successful champions right now.

    I think Master Yi should absolutely be the next champion to be reworked just because of the wave of relief and peace that not having this champion in the game could cause.

    Just free me from this pain. Rework Master Yi.

    If you type "__ diff" or "ez" at the end of a game, you're not bantering, you're just an asshole.

    Posted: 13 Jan 2021 02:17 AM PST

    At least with flaming your teammates, although dickish, there's some reasoning behind it. People are tilted, they perceive their loss as due to one player (whether true or not), and at least that type of toxicity is understandable. Not justifiable, but understandable.

    But "ez" or "__ diff", there's really no justification. You already have the win, and the other team is dealing with one of the most frustrating parts of league, losing, and you go out of your way to kick them while their down. Despite winning, apparently that's not enough, so you have to type "ez" or "___diff".

    Edit: Seeing as how this post blew up there are a couple of things I want to add.

    1. People who are like "yea it worked lol we got you so mad that you make a post". I got to ask. If your main goal is to piss people off just for the sake of pissing people off, how do you not feel like a dick doing that? Like how do you not have any shame knowing you get pleasure out of seeing others upset?

    2. Communities play a very large part in the respect something gets. It's no secret esports don't really get that much respect. The fact that so many people openly admit they do __ diff or ez, which is the video game equivalent of spitting on the enemy teams face, well it really reflects on how league and esports is perceived.

    3. Comparing it to sports, usually the person who rubs it in the losing teams face that they just won is not only unanimously hated by everyone at the event (including their own team), but if they were to get punched in the face, it would be very rare that anyone but the taunter would get upset. As someone who played 4 years rugby, I can say this for certain.

    Also based on the responses to this post, no wonder the league community is considered by most to be one of the most toxic gaming communities. Something I've noticed across the spectrum of people who are dicks, is that the most common reply to calling out behavior is "you're being too sensitive". That's always the reply, no matter how much of a dick the person was.

    BTW, the replies to this thread show why riot will never implement voice chat in league.

    The Ultimate Yorick Bug and Weird Interaction Compilation (27 pages) - 2021 Edition!

    Posted: 13 Jan 2021 07:43 AM PST

    Hi Everyone.

    I've finally gotten around to updating my Yorick bug list. It covers everything from outright bugs, to weird interactions, and I've put in a section for suggested updates to our beloved Yorick.

    If you didn't already know, our shovel friend has been struggling in recent times. His pick rate has fallen so much that OP.GG is currently listing him at rank 145/152 (Korean platinum+) and his winrate is showing a little below 50% on U.GG and lolalytics.

    Funnily enough, Yorick had a recent skin released in patch 10.23 which actually saw a drop in his all-ranks pickrate from 2.21% in patch 10.22 to 1.88% in patch 10.23.

    It appears that pre-season didn't favour him as well as we had hoped, and a lot of interactions are simply not there because bugs exist and oversights are not being fixed or prioritised.

    Bonus clip showcasing some sweet bugs inside the Blitz game mode.

    Also throwback to the greatest Yorick bug in history - the invisible maiden inside the dark world that ends a game being untargetable by the enemy team.

    If you know of any other bugs, please let me know so I can add them to the document.

    Thanks for your time, have a browse and enjoy.

    Lunar Beast Viego is an awful release skin and worse than his Classic Skin

    Posted: 13 Jan 2021 04:29 PM PST

    I was really dissapointed when I saw this skin. Not only does the theme not fit him, but the skin itself makes him look like a toy.

    His head looks like a thumb with two horns. His hair looks like hat and his sword looks like a glowing ice cream stick with wings.

    The colors are too flat like old Prestige Yasuo and don't combine very well. The only way to make this skin look relatively good its by using the ruby chroma which you can only get if you buy the chroma pack.

    Its especially sad because they could have done a Shan Hai skin instead wich is not only more pretty, but it would also fit him better.

    This is all my opinion though, I would like to hear yours. I really like his base skin (though I would like a red chroma for it). I guess I'll just wait till he gets another skin.

    I interviewed several Rioters to gain perspective on how to get a job in Game Dev

    Posted: 13 Jan 2021 08:18 AM PST

    Over the last 3 years I got a chance to sit down with many notable Rioters to talk about their careers at Riot Games, how they first got into game dev, and their perspectives on League (and other games they're working on.) I also got the chance to interview some other gaming creatives if that is more your style. My goal of these shows is to give the community a window into the world of Game Development and games companies like Riot, to show people the human side of the company who makes the game that they love playing.

    Notable guests are:

    Riot Mortdog (Lead Game Designer of TFT)

    Riot Blaustoise (R&D Researcher)

    (Ex) Riot Cactopus (Communications Lead)

    Riot Afic (Game Analysis Team aka Playtest)

    As well as many other guests from varying disciplines.

    Like everything, this project is a work in progress and quality improves over the course of the interviews, as well as variety of guest. If you're interesting in watching or listening to these interviews, the links are here. I recommend starting at a more recent episode as earlier shows are less focused and lower production quality.

    Ibai leaves G2

    Posted: 13 Jan 2021 11:24 AM PST

    Tweet: https://twitter.com/ibaillanos/status/1349433419881701377?s=21

    YT video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Me8WTuJRsug

    Says he has been very happy as a G2 content creator. The contract ends at February 1st, G2 offered them to renew but Ibai and his streamer group decided not to renew and build their own brand.

    Ibai has grown a lot this past year, winning the streamer of the year award (esports awards) and getting mindblowing numbers on twitch (500k on new years eve).

    They are also getting new additions on their streamer house. Ibai will not leave his current workmates.

    Ibai says he always wanted to create something of his own. His brand will not compete, but he says he would like to build an esports team in the future.

    He thanks Carlos Ocelote for believing not only on him but also on his current streaming mates. Both are happy with this decision.

    The 25th of January they will reveal the name and image of the brand. Says that he wants to change completely his channel, with professional cameras, on person events (streamed), and a varied schedule. They will bring TV production value on twitch, but also keep the streaming essence.

    The brand will have 5 spanish sponsors who are not related to esports.

    LCK not being available on Youtube is a bummer

    Posted: 13 Jan 2021 06:38 AM PST

    Anyone else bummed by this? I find Youtube streaming is better with the ability to rewind to any time point, plus it manages bandwidth better than twitch. I hope Youtube and LCK reach an agreement about this.

    ADC is not in a bad spot

    Posted: 13 Jan 2021 04:46 PM PST

    Can we discuss about overall state of the game? Each week I can see some threads stating that adc is in a bad spot. I've been playing ADC exclusively since season 3, been there in a good times, been there in a bad times. Currently I had a break between S10 and S11 (haven't played at all for 2 monhts), came back to the game and have already played around 30 rankeds as adc.

    In about 80% of the games, I wasn't the reason for the overall outcome of the game. It didn't matter if I played great, if I shat the bed and make mistakes, if I made 9 cs/min, 5 cs/min, I was something similar to the Observer with maybe 1 valuable play every 5 teamfights. However the overall outcome (meaning win/loss) always depended of which one shot assassin or bruiser-melee-mage-tank-assassin got enormously fed and carried all tf's.

    Then I started to think if adc is in a bad state (as I stated in season 9 and 10) and came to a conclusion that it is not. It is in a good spot (especially adc's like Caitlyn, Ashe, Sivir). Well, I won couple of lanes with Caitlyn, Sivir, Ashe, based on mechanics, but then when the late game came in I couldn't do shit against things like Kai'Sa (who basically one shot 16/3 Lilia with 2 aa's and 1 Q's while I threw 4 aa's (one crit), e with crit and q, and still did not kill her) or Samira. But I had fun in that. It really brought me to the early seasons where I had to position, where I had to make uninterrupted dmg, kite champions, and e.g. shoot freaking 16 lvl support Maokai with 10 aa's (two on traps) and dealing him maybe 40% of his hp. What was wrong is that he threw two saplings on me, taking 60% of my health and slowing me to death.

    So my point is, the meta is broken. If something can get 3 k health with tons of armor and mr, being underleveled (through playing botlane support) it can't deal 60% of health with two skillshots that are not even a skillshots. If something is losing a lane, having constantly 50 cs deficit against oponent, having 2/6/5 it cannot one shot 16/3/2 toplaner with 2 aa's and one Q. Let the teamfights be overextended, let the tanks be tanks, bruisers be bruisers. How many of you have played against tank malphite without even 1 AP item who just R, E, AA, Q, AA you and you lose 80% of health? The solution is not to buff ADC, the solution is to nerf everything else.

    Do you think today Faker could outplay Ryu? No, he would die after R, one aa and Q from the shadow. No chance for outplay. If we will bring the game to the state where skillshots don't blow everyone in one second, champions like e.g. Dr. Mundo, Udyr, Warwick, Yorick, Tryndamere will be more loved.

    Stop blowing champions in 1 sec. with 50% skillshots missed (if the champ is not overfed assassin). It is not fun.
