dont play league anymore but im very glad they're bringing back the "honoring opponents" option back 🙏

[Yuuki-SJ]

The Attorney Azir wasnt hard to think of tbh xD. Dude is an emperor who was judge jury and executioner. He's also a bird so....Ace Attorny : Phoenix Wright

[Nw-zhuq]

Necrit from the main lore channel of League of Legends to the Main news paper channel of league of legends. No matter what Necrit is always the reliable source of information.

i respect them coming out and saying yo if ur champ isnt popular dont expect crazy shit even though it was obvious the whole time, rather than them acting like theyre fair to all champs and dont have favorites

[WesnothNanoMinerPL]

There are 4 champs with over 1k days since last skin. Skarner, Alistar, Braum, Corki. Xin zhao and heim are getting there

[iustin]

For me, the complete new voice over for a skin is the most important part

[joaolopes]

i remember when everyone queued up as fill, then we wouls just scream in chat what position we wanted.

18:58 that's the reason I use base pyke, NONE of his skins give the same impact as riding the fish monster

[unique]

Woah riot good news!? Its been so long

[at_]

Imagine you fatfinger flash and you're greeted by a 24 hour ban from queue when the game ends

[rayznshine]

15th years of Riot will be another banger just like 10th

[__-ndqi]

15:46 so if the community doesn’t buy the azir bird we might get another few hundred ahri skins

17:15 This is great, don't get me wrong- but there's a big, BIG issue with that that's been occurring quite recently.
Two examples I want to bring up is Battle Bear Illaoi and High Noon Leona.

Battle Bear Illaoi is definitely one of the 'push the theme on the champion regardless' skins- but because they're prioritizing placing the champ into the universe, they fail to consider if the skin works for the champion to begin with. Battle Bear Illaoi has very little animal motifs or otherwise that fit her into the skin. Her tentacles aren't even bear paws, but just tentacles. It ends up just being 'Illaoi in a weird tech outfit'.

Then there's High Noon Leona. This was definitely another 'push the theme on the champion' skin and- it worked perfectly. It was a hit, etc- but it has the opposite problem; a champion who would've fit that line much better, Rell, was denied the skin. This feels like a really big ongoing issue- not giving champions who make the most sense in a theme their skin of that theme. Rell eventually got High Noon, of course- but the point still stands. Imagine being a Taric main, after a huge Star Guardian event where even Akali and Fiddle got in- and the skin you've been waiting for is... Space Groove. No new take on the thematic, no new music to the original set of skins... Last skin was released in 2020. It must be devastating.

Dark star, Old god, Star nemesis, Primordian and battle boss vel'koz is back on the menu boys

Also really hope they fix the mastery, just one little tweak;
The gems are clearly based off of skin tiers, obvious examples being epic skins being a blue triangle,
But the gems after MR6 and MR7 are all shifted one shape down because the legendary gem (red diamond) is missing

So atm, it's mythic on the diamond (should be the pentagon, which is where ultimate is, ultimate is meant to be an orange hexagon)

I hope they shift the first 2 gem masteries back one, then fix the colour and shapes to match the skin tiers, it's so close to perfect just one little itty bitty change....

[rice_frying_shrimp]

It's honestly kind of funny we even still refer to the main map as "summoners rift" given that they dropped the summoner part of the lore like half a decade ago by now. almost feels like maybe there ought to be a different name for it that's more in line with where we're currently at...

[blarze]

the 70% and 95% accuracy also mean that somme pp could be considered griefing when they are not

[kitsune]

There should just be an option for autofill that omits one role a player doesn't want. Autofilling against an OTP player is miserable and usually ends in a loss

[Aphazne]

Faster matchmaking isn't worth it if I get a loss straight from matchmaking itself because my team has more auto fills than the other. Or my team gets an auto fill jungler and the other team gets a jungle main.

That's just a gigantic waste of time.

[ugandabrudah]

Can´t wait to fail a Fiddle ult predict and get called a griefer

[beefymight]

! really did miss when skins just focused on the champions, very exciting!
