@RiotAugust Guys? You know what would be a great idea? *hits the crack pipe* What if we removed AD scaling from Shyvana to make her more incline to go AD bruiser build? Like genuinely guys wtf is this. Remove AD scaling from Darius to make him more incline to go bruiser right???

The team has been working on some Shyvana changes for 16.9. They should be showing up on the PBE soon.

@Tectone @Sykkuno No one asked you loser

What happens in y'alls relationship is entirely between you all. Sykkuno you fucked up, you know that, cheating is never the right thing to do. Be better, I know you can. But if your girl chose to forgive you, thats her choice and no one elses. Immediate apologies must go out from everyone who took this opportunity to make public a story that your girlfriend should have had a choice to make herself just in pursuit of money and clicks is disgusting. I apologize that the girlfriend had to endure this.

A message from me and my girlfriend

@RiotAugust @_LucasBorges Better nerf them by 20% next patch if we are going to be consistent!

@RiotAugust @_LucasBorges Also talking about win rate is pointless when we've had rammus, nilah, kogmaw, and singed at 54% winrate every single patch with absolutely no changes lmao

Shyvana’s rework came out strong (57% winrate). We expect her to only get stronger as players optimize so we put together a micro patch nerf. It should be live now.

@Hensch10 @bonevoid @Squad5lol No he doesn't lol. The vid ur talking about requires extremely high risk, last second leash timer kills. Most jg do 3:20 or faster standing still and if u leash its like 3:10 or faster. Speed run strats like that vid are not used to that extent because its too risky.

@bonevoid @Squad5lol He has a 3:17 clear with 1 Smite, 3:23 If youre a Bit sloppy

Zaahen looking pretty strong. We're putting in a hotfix nerf today for him. Taking down his damage a bit because he's definitely got plenty of it. P: Bonus AD from 1.5-3.3% > 1.5 > 2.8%Q: Q: Ratio from .3-.7 > .2-.6 Q2 base damage from 30-150 > 25-125

@RiotPhroxzon Really disappointed in Zaahen's jungle ability. Regardless of nerfing him, please make him do more jg damage or something so he's a legit decent jungler.

Patch 25.24 Full Patch Preview! Zaahen: - Zaahen has been off to a powerful start, and after the micropatch nerf, he's relatively stable - For regular players, he's stabilizing out, but seems a little stronger in higher levels of play right now, especially with what we're seeing out of his early mastery growth currently - We intend to nerf him in 25.24, but haven't yet decided what nerf or by how much and want a bit more information before we act - We don't think he's so overpowered currently that he can stay in this state Bloodline: - Bloodline has fallen a little behind Alacrity especially for most champs, so evening it up a bit there Jungle Changes: - We're monitoring a lot of the feedback coming in over the last patches about the jungle changes; doing a few small tap downs to get some of the top end into a better state - Overall, some of them are still not particularly viable, but not looking to take another swing at them at this point Mel: - Mel's changes this patch are aimed a bit at reducing frustration - eg. The lingering of her E zone and the particle are slightly mismatched (this follows the behavior of several other similar types of spells), but is resulting in a little more frustration than we think is worth it - E max is also being reduced in power level and being a little more costly for her to cast

@Play_Fellowship How come when I dodge Nightbound Magi's Constellation Of Ruin it one shots my group then? SOAKING MECHS ARE MORE DANGEROUS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

@JointheKraize @ProdigyXL Idk about that one I've played every single one for hundreds of hours and never experienced the tomfoolery of this one. Somewhat in 3, but that game was also ass mostly. Maybe what borderlands is turning into isn't for me.

@Bloodbat007 @ProdigyXL I don’t think Borderlands is for you then. The entire goal is to assemble a “power fantasy” build that lets you destroy everything. But also you can always use a less optimal build and still have fun/be successful

We’ve seen the discourse about builds that use unintended interactions and/or the knife. We’re not going to act on those immediately, instead, we’re looking at our first round of buffs. Those will get addressed but we’re going to start with underperforming gear/skills first.

@kingsofar @tmorello And I'm sure you don't make a living under some corrupt company? Or millions of others that have to? The only way good people can stay alive to fight corruption is unfortunately by making money in a corrupt system and using that power to fight it.

@tmorello Meet Tom “BlackRock” Morello — signed up with BlackRock-owned companies that control his publishing, masters, merch, and more. Such a rebel!! You go get them Tom!!

I’d like to thank all the 2nd Amendment loving patriots who are caravanning towards Chicago right now to defend the people against a Tyrannical Federal Government that has declared war on a U.S. city!! Thank you for putting aside the racism & white supremacy that has kept you from stepping up until now! Big Government Thugs wanna “tread on” the people! Now’s your time to stop them. Like you talk about.

@RiotPhroxzon This your "very performant"?

Patch 25.16 Preview! Sentiment on the game is too balanced - Have heard a bunch of sentiment recently around the game being too balanced - Often, people feeling this way can feel like the game feels the same patch over patch, TFT can sometimes feel like this when the balance team is doing too good of a job! - A great problem to have, but also a real indicator of some opportunities for us - When the game is in a pretty balanced state, we're particularly interested in getting champions into multiple roles (in a way that doesn't break the game) that can add a bit of freshness back - Things like Nautilus Jungle, AD Morde, Viego mid (a bit more speculative), Qiyana Jungle, Sylas jungle, AD Sion, etc. - These opportunities are often hard to prioritize when we need to put balance fires out - At the same time, we need to be a bit careful of over-correcting; most of this sentiment is coming from people who play League for most of the day (streamers, high ELO players) and will be quite vocal - We need to be mindful of regular players too, who don't play as often and have communicated to us that they are more sensitive to rate of change - To set some expectations though, outside of Season Starts, we don't have plans to do large shakeups to the game, as players have expressed that rate of change being high in these periods is particularly damaging to new players, reviving players, etc. Yunara - Overall Yunara has landed in a really great spot, she's seeing a little bit of Pro Play, while being amongst the most popular champs in role, without significant banrate. We're really happy y'all are enjoying her so much! - Her mastery growth after playing several games on her is pretty high, so just stick out that early learning curve - Over-time, her Kraken and BORK builds have started to edge out Yun-Tal, especially at higher skill levels - We're not going to target changes to her for now, and want to observe a bit more to see how her build and skew plays out Systems - Hexplate has been a pretty unpopular item for a long while and mostly been tuned around Nocturne (with some fringe Olaf use too) - We're giving it a buff and a compensation nerf to an already strong Nocturne - Baron's HP regen is going away for real this time... missing your smites because of in-fight regen hopefully a thing of the past now? Last Patches Followup - In an effort to improve Illaoi's gameplay around the curse (low satisfaction for Illaoi, high frustration for opponents), the changes landed a little harder than intended, so walking it back a tiny bit. We've noted some of the complaints around E and repeated slams, but didn't quite have time to address it this patch - Rek'Sai also landed a little weaker than intended, though her E max first (which was historically quite good) is back to being pretty strong and we're hoping her players enjoy the E true damage back - Kalista has finally had her power level catch up to her Pro Presence. The main reason players would pick her is to dominate laning phase and so we want to add a bit more power into her later game to add a bit of regular play power without spiking her immediately back into Pro - Finally, Yuumi is still at highs after her changes a few patches ago didn't quite land as we'd like. We're taking a bit more of a swing here as she is still very performant (more than performant enough to meet her goals for new players)

@DoomkingR @Specter_eu @RiotPhroxzon Steelcaps into riven is wrong?? Poking with Q when no champ in the game should be able to dive all those defensive runes/items is wrong? There was nothing wrong with the Teemo's play. If you wanted a real argument, you could bring up the fact that Riven lost the next 4 fights

@Specter_eu @RiotPhroxzon yeah, the teemo clip where he literally builds wrong and uses his Q wrong made riot nerf riven ffs I mean, I love riven getting nerfed, but maybe (perhaps, possibly) neft the other champs that are tower diving randomly

Patch 25.14 Preview! MSI has put out really good games so far with Ka-lose-ta and When-TF-am-I-gonna-get-a-win looking pretty bad though. Meta is looking pretty good overall, main gaps have been some more AP junglers and a few more assassins, though a lot of the HP mid lane has made this a bit difficult and we didn't want to have too many more Corki, Trist mid, etc.  We've been a bit buff heavy in recent patches, so pulling it back a bit here with more nerfs.  Systems - We initially made mask stacking (haunting guise + haunting guise  possible as a fun joke build (or rather, passed on fixing it), but with Bloodletters becoming a real item, it's ended up being a lot more powerful than intended - It's resulting in a lot of champions being able to index into a lot more HP than is normal  - We're removing the interaction as a result in line with other epics, even though it's fun :cry - We're also looking at some buffs to underperforming sustained damage items like BORK, Kraken, PD  - We're pre-emptively nerfing Yasuo as he's a bit stronger than Yone for regular players and we're buffing BORK - We've nerfed ROA a decent amount for non-core users at the cost of its previous core users. We're splitting the difference back, but in a way that benefits its old core users (typically mana oriented battle mages - We're being careful with a Guardian adjustment that makes it slightly better for enchanters, but no better for tanks Support and Jungle - We've heard a lot of feedback about the strength of both the jungle and support roles, in particular the gap between melee and ranged supports have grown a lot (with a few exceptions like Neeko support) - We didn't want to change the meta a lot during MSI, but now, over the coming patches, we want to gradually take power out of the melee supports and some of the junglers (we don't want to add extra power to the weaker champions in the role and make the roles any stronger) - This isn't all the changes that we want to make for the roles, but just a general strategy that we'll employ over the course of a few patches - We're also nerfing Yuumi as she's pushing frustration, especially in China (she's the most banned supp in Emerald+) and she doesn't need to be that powerful to achieve her goals (an onramp for new players) Kled - Now that MSI is done, shipping our Kled changes that have been in the works for a while (check out Endstep's video for more detail) - The main goals for the changes are to have him feel better about fighter builds and also hit down some of the earflicks like instantly getting health back from remounting that just feel bad for minimal opponent satisfaction or counterplay - Throughout the course of dev, we investigated increasing remounting frequency, in an effort to give him more effective health, but ended up moving away from it

@RiggzRigatoni @RiotPhroxzon Reading comprehension of american flag pfp's

The Zoe nerf is good. Why nerf yasuo? He is perfectly balanced. Strong in the right hands weak in the wrong. If buffing their core items is your way of buffing yone then just buff yone and leave the rest. Isolate the issue with the camps, not the items. You indirectly buffed irelia who was already strong prior to her buff. Yall make no sense.

@87399lol Nice chat restriction btw. Tells a lot more about your cognitive function.

@87399lol ur actually slow in the head if u think any of these situations are even remotely the same. In the exact same scenario, none of these dives work. They all die well before they kill.

anyway heres 3 early game champs that would do the same thing and fucking cho gath

@HAITIANREBEL_ @LyricWulf "Very naive, and way too giving with your money" Yes, that is how manipulation works... It's a 31 year old with 13 years of adult experience, vs a 20 year old with 2 years. That is cut and dry a case of manipulation.

piratesoftware.sucks When I was 20 years old, Jason Thor Hall (aka PirateSoftware), aged 31 at the time, emotionally abused and manipulated me for sexual and financial gain Thor’s actions had a severe impact on my life, causing me to give up being a uni student and a creator

@PirateSoftware Why can't you get it through your head that this has nothing to do with your poor gameplay, but moreso the absolutely absurd comments you have been making, and complete lack of self awareness and accountability? You're acting like a 14 year old, and that's why these things happen

This OnlyFangs stuff actually sucks. Lots of weird attack posts and people taking it too far. Putting everything in one place and washing my hands of it after this. To start, here is the response about the Dire Maul run. From my perspective I didn't feel I could save anyone else with the resources I had left even with mana gem and robe cooldowns. Since the call to run was made I followed the call and got out as quickly as possible. In every other instance where shit has hit the fan the shot-caller has called specific targets we locked in and nobody died. If you call RUN RUN RUN then everything after that is a shitshow. Yamato pinned the entire thing on me despite everyone making mistakes and this rapidly spiraled into attacks both on and offline. x.com/PirateSoftware… The next few days was just tens of thousands of messages berating me, sending death threats, doxxing, and all kinds of shit. This happened on Twitch, Twitter, YouTube, Steam, Reddit, Discord, and over VOIP initiated Phone Calls all at the same time. Here are a few examples from just inside of WoW to give you some understanding. x.com/PirateSoftware… So what do you do in this situation? You start reporting it and banning people. We took the 10,000+ attack accounts and reported them up for the organized hate raid that this is. It disrupted our broadcast on all platforms for the last 3 days and prevented our community from doing anything. That's a hate raid no matter how you slice it and it needs to be reported. We also setup automation to shut down the First Message Last Message shit stirring posts which worked to mostly positive effect. Despite all of this I kept running with the guild and kept doing dungeons with people. Got my UBRS key, had runs that were fun, and had some clutch moments as well. Then during an UBRS run another creator in the group shit talked me the entire run and spoke many times about wanting to start a fight with me over voice "For Content". I was pissed about this and said bluntly to the community that I would be reporting anyone that does things like this. Not just anyone covering the situation, anyone specifically targeting me to make "Content" out of it by directly disrupting our broadcast. The idea that you shouldn't fight back or do anything to defend yourself is absurd. Absolutely do something about shit like this. Defend yourself and report that kind of behavior. It doesn't matter what size of creator you are that doesn't belong on any of these platforms. This was posed as a "Content Guild" which to me meant we were crafting stories and narratives around our characters and achievements. Not content at any cost which this clearly has become. For those in the guild that reached out to me after all of this, thank you. Was fun running together and maybe we will again one day in a different game.

@StaySafeWarlock Imagine a closet discord nazi being a trump apologist. What a surprise! Crawl back into your hole, cockroach. KAMALA 2024 GET RID OF THE NAZI REGIME IN USA

Reminder that 9 years of stochastic terrorism - rhetoric and verbiage intentionally meant to invoke violence - has directly caused the most recent assassination attempts on Trump’s life. When people shamelessly call him a “Nazi,” a “threat to democracy,” a “white supremacist,” they are co-signing these sort of attacks.

@Ageofmyth Just remember the more you guys complain about little things like a splash art for a god you will never see again, the more you will take away from the actual gameplay and end up making the game bad if they listen. Pick your poison.
