Quick update on Arcane Fractured Jinx and Viktor’s update:. We’re adding Jinx’s iconic finale hood to her first form (Hero of Zaun) in Patch 14.24. You won’t see it in PBE, but it’ll be live when the Patch launches. We should’ve had it in from the start, but hope you enjoy the

Hey Everyone, sorry for the delay in getting an update out on the blue essence situation. Once we got the feedback from you all this weekend, we took a deep a look and realized we were off. Here are details about the adjustments we are making .
Blue Essence and Account Level earn rates update: TL;DR: We screwed up on this one, and the numbers we shipped are pretty far off from where they should be. We’ll put out fixes over the next few patches.

@SkinSpotlights This was really tricky for us due to the episode launch timings, our PBE timings, and our patch timings. We tried to sew the needle through ensuring things that were hitting PBE were timed with ARC2 Act 2 Teasers and stuff like that. It's not perfect and we want to make it better.

I got to meet Shushei and the entire Fnatic S1 World Championship team back in 2011. They visited Riot HQ after Worlds, and I remember showing them our champion pipeline going into 2012. Shushei was excited and encouraging- and also quite hilarious. Ty Shushei! ❤️♾️.
Together we remember Season 1 World Champion, MVP, and beloved player Maciej “Shushei” Ratuszniak. To honor his legacy, players can unlock the “Shushei Forever” title for free, and additionally, play 3 games as Gragas to unlock his Fnatic Gragas skin. Thank you Maciej.

@SkinSpotlights They are feasible but they are really tricky and have a lot of problems, and take a ton of effort. Given everything dropping, we had to be selective or where we could and could not try it. Ambessa's launch skins were "dark launched" from a PBE timing POV to coincide with her MV.

@SkinSpotlights Update, we WILL be able to get the Death Sworn changes in time for 14.24, including splash. Team is working hard on addressing.

@Spideraxe30 Hearing people cheer and gasp at ups and downs, the romance moments, the deeply human friendship moments, the action…all of us bonded together around these characters, and a game that is bigger than ourselves….its humbling.

@DumbsYT Don’t forget, evil and intimidating horse, that used to be a conniving and scheming Camovoran nobleman with a legion of horse lord mounted Calvary! Until he got a ghost upgrade in an undead apocalypse!.

@Spideraxe30 I was thinking about this while we were all watching. We would have never predicted it, we were all learning and stumbling together back in the day….we had no clue….we just had dreams…and a want to make cool things. To see the effect after all these years….was moving…😭.

@Spideraxe30 @SkinSpotlights Slight correction. Their VO will be hitting pbe this week but we withheld some of their lines to avoid spoilers and those will be updated in a future patch.

@Spideraxe30 Hmmmmm I don’t recall, probably just looked metal and we rolled with it. Others from the ancient days may know. Often time we would see a really cool piece of art that the team made and say “yep” that’s in now.

I have over 100+ Hours in Vamp Survivors across PC and Switch. And a little bit in Death Must Die! I love this genre and can't wait to play it co-op with frens!.

@Spideraxe30 @SkinSpotlights We gotta a good amount of the VO out on pbe for testing purposes. That said, team thread the needle by making sure majority of lines were spoiler free.

@DefaultDanielS Yoda always (I have him tattooed), 2nd love will always be Luke. Sith wise, Darth Vader but I do like some of the imperial villains and will also respect Grand Admiral Thrawn (liked his missions in Tie Fighter PC back in the day).

@MeteosLoL @Spideraxe30 @RiotAugust I worked on the original 12 VAL Agents prior to launch. A lot of principles from LoL Champ Dev where applied and expanded on (in the way it made sense for VAL).

@KousekiY 1. No, the route of AI art is not something that was a factor in our recent changes. 2. We will continue to use outsourcing support, as we always have, and that is also not one of the factors in this decision. 3. There are a small number of AI tools approved for individuals for.

@TheUberphish @SkinSpotlights Appreciate that perspective. Also can see why people are mad for any spoilers whatsoever. It's not easy but that said, doesn't mean we shouldn't try.

@MeteosLoL @Spideraxe30 @RiotAugust One thing we did, was ensure all 12 agents had their silhouettes/outlines designed together as a group. On LoL, we did this (unintentionally) with the OG 20. For VAL, we knew had one chance to debut the first group at once. So we designed them as a group.

@rundolphinrun I am not leaving League Studio, and while I was spending time on WR, I was there as support to their leadership team who is great and I believe in. They care a LOT about WR. The game still has lots potential and am eager to see how they continue to experiment to make it better.

@ardaikes Indeed! ( Of course, with also the support and backing of the entire LoL Dev team back in the day!) One of the main goals was to make an event that people would remember for years to come! I'm glad we succeeded in that regard.

@Nobutaku_ What we have seen is that different countries and regions have their own favorites, but a few are universally popular in every region. Ahri is up there.
