When I was interviewing at Riot in 2017, at the end of the process they asked me what change I would make if I could make one change to League. I said I'd make Amp Tome 400g. They thought I was joking. Six years later, I've made it clear I never joke about Amp Tome

Gamedevs should be able to add titles to their introductions based on what they've worked on like fantasy feudal lords. Phlox should be introducing himself as Lord Phlox the Hullbreaker, Master of Disguise, Father of Jungle Pets, Rift Rebuilder, Duke of Hubris, Motemaker

I've been streaming League a bit recently and was reminded of my old question sheet I used to use for WR streams - does anyone have any questions they'd be interested in hearing me answer on stream? I can throw em in a doc and answer them tomorrow

Today's Kled post: When I was looking for solutions to the zero-point Q issue, I originally tried starting Q slightly behind Kled. But the first time I tried it, I did not do the math correctly

Today's Kled post: after seeing what mounted solo Kled looked like, I messed around to see what Kled would look like if Skaarl stuck around after dismounting

Fun Kled post for today: while I was rescripting parts of Kled's remount, I found out what it looks like if Kled remounts but...Skaarl never comes back. A strong, independent Kled don't need no lizard

Fun Kled fact for today: Kled was intended to up the dash range of his dismount dash for each nearby enemy champion, but due to a typo, it never worked. We tested it and generally didn't think it was good, so I cut it, but here's Kled dismounting near 15 Annies

Coming to a PBE near you - I've rescripted all the permanent stat increasing items (Heartsteel, RoA, Tear item family) to now actually increment the stats on the item rather than using tooltip trackers - this also works with Ornn upgrades, see this super juiced Ornn RoA.

The promised Feats video is here. As usual, extremely scuffed, unfocused, and contains some deranged rambling.
