Maybe $20 isn’t a bad price

@RiotPhroxzon Why nerf braum when bandlepipes is the reason the champ is S tier?

Patch 26.3 Preview! This is a huge patch after we've had a bit of time to assess how things have landed and things have taken some time to settle. Will go more in depth about champion changes tomorrow, especially the jungle changes. Ranked - We're triaging a few things related to Apex negative LP gains that we're seeing in a few regions (+17/-23 kind of things) - We're also looking at some duo queue adjustments for literally top 20 challenger levels of duos to make those a bit more balanced - As a reminder, these things that we've been posting about recently with the Ranked ladder don't affect 99.9% of Ranked players, but matter a lot to the Masters+ crew and we're still trying to fine tune behavior here - I'm going to write more of a detailed Masters+ retro about some of the considerations that went into the changes this year as well as some of the follow up changes we're doing in a few days, especially after validating some of the hunches for the cause of the negative LP gains Game Metrics - We've seen game snowballiness continue to stabilize lower than Season 15 values - Game times are also coming down a bit back to S15 values - As discussed in a previous preview though, players feel like downtime is down and so feel like the game is faster. On the flip side, there are many players saying that this Season feels really fun and part of that is due to how much action is going on - We're going to let it ride a bit though, as it seems like players are getting used to a new normal here and at least a good portion are finding it more fun - What we are changing though is how much players are worth for repeat kills on a player who is not worth that much; we reduced this in 26.1 but are pulling it back a bit - At the same time, we're investigating what communicating this state looks like on the scoreboard, but have a pretty strong aversion to cluttering up the scoreboard with a lot of exact numbers; nothing to share back yet on that front, but doing some investigations Towers & Objectives - There's been a lot of discussion about how threatening first Baron is and also a bit about how much damage junglers do to objectives - We're not planning to change a lot here on 26.3, but may change some of these dynamics for 26.4 after observing more Vision - With early game faelights and slower first clears, early ganks have been a bit harder to come by - We're pushing back early game yellow trinket cds back to S15 values (170 >>> 210s) to make warding a bit less "free" and early ganks a bit more successful on average Items - There will be more detail on the item changes tomorrow with full preview, but I just wanted to talk about 2 ahead of time - Actualizer (which is currently only a Ryze item) is getting a buff to be viable on more users. At the same time though, Ryze is getting nerfed - The entire package is intended to be a net negative to Ryze and he's getting nerfed indirectly by a lot of changes this patch - Dusk & Dawn has been a super hot topic! - We don't think Dusk & Dawn is overpowered overall, but there are champions that synergize very well with it that will ultimately be hard bound to it - This is totally fine though; plenty of champions love and are hardbound to certain items and we hope that D&D is one of those that those users find very satisfying - This is ultimately why we're choosing to nerf the champions that predominantly purchase the item, while still leaving it viable for the fringe users - Having said that, we think the item power budget and shape is a bit off - D&D was intended to be less damage-y and more bruisery than its other AP sheen counter part - Lich Bane - We're adjusting its profile (+HP, -Damage) to better suit this

@Simon_Hypixel better marker system

What are your top 5 small changes you want in Hytale? Gathering feedback today to do some quick changes that can be easily implemented in the next few days. I got a list of 100+ of my own, trying to see where we align!

@pkmncast This is like saying mario kart world is packed with open world content

Just an "empty" city, right?

@RiotPhroxzon these shaco nerfs are legal i think 🙏😃

Patch 25.16 Full Preview! Balance Strategy - As mentioned yesterday, heading into the back half of the year where things are pretty well balanced, we're going to be spending a lot more time trying to find opportunistic alt builds, alternate roles and other things that feel like opportunities for players to express creativity - If you have any suggestions for builds or roles that could use a little bit of love, earflicks that can be fixed, we'd love to hear them - This also can include things where it might take a little more time to land a more involved gameplay change to them (like Rek'Sai's returning of E damage, or improving clarity and counterplay of Illaoi's E) - There are a multitude of such changes in the patch, (better balance of WW JG vs Top, Lane Viego, AD Morde, Qiyana JG, AD Sion, JG Sylas, etc.) - In the meantime, our high level strategy is to be more nerf heavy on the jungle role, as we think the role is too strong overall and are avoiding net buffing it over time Shaco - Shaco has had an extremely high banrate for a pretty extended period of time at this point - We're looking to bring down his frustration overall and he doesn't need to be close to 50 to be a satisfying champion for his audience

@RichardWag67343 @NatalieDykes3 @FinFluentialx @karlmehta Lots of republicans aswell but you live in a bubble

@NatalieDykes3 @FinFluentialx @karlmehta The majority of libtards do.

President Trump just hosted a press briefing at the White House. One by one, Trump and Pam Bondi delivered major announcements and clues on what's coming next—directly to the American people. Here’s everything you should know (and no joke, it gets crazier the further you read):

@Im_Not_Mike_Dud @pommuart are these the fucking backyardigans

@Ermac43 @tyler_homerding @MrTLexify is it worth 70 bucks tho

@tyler_homerding @MrTLexify I'm an "actual" zombies fan and have been playing since WaW and I like seeing zombies branch out.

Thoughts so far on MW3 Zombies: - HUD is rough, like Bo4 Rough. - Why do the Zombies not run at you? - It’s DMZ zombies. - Outbreak and DMZ Fans will eat this up and it’ll be popular.
