It's been a pleasure serving the League player base! I hope Smolder, Skarner, and K'Sante prove to be some of ya'lls favorite champions. My only regret is I didn't get to make more. GG gamers <3.
Minutes ago, we shared an important update with Rioters about the future of Riot Games. Hereβs what these changes mean for our games and what players can expect from us going forward:

I don't even work on the game and prominent TFT community leaders flame me just for playing lol???? .
I don't enjoy this DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDraven meta. But the amount of hate spewed towards riot devs bc your 8 games of TFT wasn't enjoyable is disgusting. TFT is often the best gaming community, but the past 24 hours have been straight up embarrassing. Get a grip people.

I've tried to not look at a single League of Legends thing this month and on a whim I looked at the play data to see: .SMOLDER AT 23% PICK RATE AND 22% BAN RATE?!?!. I'll never be more proud than I am now. I'm so floored at the love you all have shown him. <3 thank you all <3

Ah yes, my favorite part of champion development where I stop working on my champions bugs and work on the bugs that occur when those frauds Sylas and Viego pretend to be my champion π

Originally we thought a "pacman" approach may be better though.

Given the history of how media has portrayed LGBT relationships it was important to me that we could do better. Not a lot of League of Legend characters get to have positive endings to romantic relationships, but K'Sante does. It's not perfect, but its a good start.

K'Sante buff heading out on the PBE. All Out conversion Armor/Mr to AD 22.5% -> 32.5%. Q Damage tank scaling 50% AD -> 40% AD + 30% AR/MR + 5 base damage. Passive damage max health % from 1/1.25/1.5 at 1/6/11 -> 1/1.33/1.66/2 at 1/6/11/16.

I don't like Ubisoft but he was asked: . 'what is it going to take for subscription to step up and become more significant?' . and answered ". gamers are used to. owning their games. That's the consumer shift that needs to happen.". Are these headlines fair?

Looks like we are still grayed out for now. Maybe it's like a Smash Bros. character unlock where you have to first win a normal match and then he challenges you to a 1v1 that you have to win to unlock him?

@Spideraxe30 I found a strength/weakness chart in an old Nintendo Power magazine that you should be able to reference to answer this question. As you can see, Skarner is strong against all types and all types are weak to Skarner.

I feel like no matter how Ksante gets nerfed or changed he should always have these things:. Unstoppable, A Shield, Goes over walls, Cooldown is only 1 second too, It costs 15 Mana.
