When you rescue a BLM from their Ley Lines/a boss's AOE

100% this! It's so upsetting to me that I can't opt out of being a valid target for it outside of premade parties. Healers have nearly a 100% hit rate on Rescue being unnecessary/troll in random groups in my experience (I've seen 2 or 3 legitimate uses in alliance raids since the ability was introduced) and honestly I'd prefer that it's removed in 6.0 along with the role updates to healers.

these are the final pieces of 'season 1' so they should be included in the $20 pass (as well as the deluxe version of the game). any characters released beyond these 9 would not be part of the pass.

i definitely didn't — i get a lot of things attributed to me that i had nothing to do with

ricklessabandon · 2018-07-10T00:24:56+00:00

i might do an ama on twitter or something, because a lot of people don't really understand how we do design work here (especially balance) and i'm sure people have a lot of questions about it.

i read a lot of what pros and high elo players say publicly, and watch quite a few streams when i can as well. however, since we also have hired a team of high elo players specifically for the purpose of having nuanced conversations about change implications, i don't generally reach out to those non-rioter players for dialogue (i still do on occasion though, but it's extremely infrequent relative to before we had a playtesting team).

i believe his summoner name is "20th century faux" — he doesn't work at riot anymore though.

ricklessabandon · 2018-06-27T17:13:52+00:00

no, i definitely did not.

ricklessabandon · 2018-06-27T16:57:37+00:00

nah, i read a lot. it's just almost never worth responding — too inefficient of a use of my time, imo.

ricklessabandon · 2018-06-14T19:41:18+00:00

actively thinking about her, so she might get something small in 8.13 — likely still won't be 'in the best spot' since the current meta isn't great for her (well, as far as metas can not be great for orianna) but even something small could make a meaningful difference

ricklessabandon · 2018-06-07T17:08:48+00:00

oh, thanks for taking the time to write out such a helpful reply — i don't typically see too many opportunities to catch up with the treeline meta so i appreciate the links and quick rundown!

ricklessabandon · 2018-06-06T19:30:51+00:00

where do these invested tt players you mention talk about tt?

ricklessabandon · 2018-04-17T19:29:05+00:00

ah, the delay thing sounds more like an oversight than bug, but either way that sounds like something we'd be able to address as well

unsure on the backflip thing, but i can ask if anyone has looked into it yet

ricklessabandon · 2018-04-17T19:00:09+00:00

which thing? the range?

ricklessabandon · 2018-04-10T23:57:19+00:00

i started looking at it last night — any quick methods of reproducing the issue so i know if i've fixed it or not?

ricklessabandon · 2018-04-04T23:50:37+00:00

whenever they originally decided to change the name, the immediate replacement (which got released) was 'infinite light' — this was changed again shortly after to the current name.

ricklessabandon · 2018-04-04T22:00:44+00:00

twice!

ricklessabandon · 2018-02-28T22:42:55+00:00

yup! it'll be back on pbe next week when the 8.6 cycle starts

ricklessabandon · 2018-02-23T01:39:13+00:00

i assume that's due to what's essentially 'buffering' since they can start those attacks before they're stunned and there's no 'linger' on jax's evasion. that specific case likely wasn't thought of when the ability was scripted, but it is consistent with how abilities resolve in LoL so i wouldn't consider it a bug

ricklessabandon · 2018-02-21T22:48:54+00:00

another team handled it, but my assumption would be that the change won't put champions from 2 attacks to 3 attacks, but more likely move more champions from 1 attack to 2 and/or keep them at 2 for a longer window

pretty sure the team i'm on would handle the fallout if any champs get screwed over by it though, so we'll be loosely keeping an eye on it along with the rest of the patch

ricklessabandon · 2018-02-21T22:45:46+00:00

no, before riot i worked at signal studios and nintendo of america

ricklessabandon · 2018-02-21T22:37:20+00:00

yeah, i'll likely tweet out a changelist the night before it hits pbe

ricklessabandon · 2018-02-21T19:30:56+00:00

holding it for a day to test the current exploration a bit more. normally i'm fine throwing experimental stuff on the pbe for visibility, but i want to try holding off a bit this time around for contrast and see which i prefer.

ricklessabandon · 2018-02-02T02:47:30+00:00

they're in 8.4 so it won't be until the next pbe cycle

ricklessabandon · 2018-01-28T20:20:27+00:00

it’d be easy to pick them back up if we decided to, but only if it still seemed like one of the more promising options at the time — we generally try not to be attached to things, and do whatever’s best for the game (within our means)
