@doneige_ What da congrats! Lets get food soon :D

Thanks to everyone who came out to our morning Riot Games Career panel today! Shoutout to ASU’s GAME School, ASU League of Legends, and all the folks who we got to meet and chat with today! It was an incredible atmosphere. Now, let’s enjoy LCS SPRING FINALS! 👊 📸: @JThorn_14

At LCS finals today and tomorrow if anyone wants to say hi :D

Driving behind the waymo on highway like its the f1 safety car

@Emmerge2 Yep known and I think we have a fix for 16.10. Unfortunately not something easily fixed in a mp :(

@HydroZenith Any chance you can fix the Zeri WASD Bugs?? Not sure if you've seen them, but you can't accurately use your Ultrashock Laser (W) when you're E'ing through a wall, it just spits out in random directions 85% of the time.

Alongside s2 changes... WASD IS FINALLY ON IN RANKED (at least in NA, if its not on yet in a region give us a bit we are working on enabling across servers) Been a long time coming, cant stress enough how hard the team has worked to get it here 🥹 pls continue to give feedback

@caro_irl @heytruonghai gave me a demo and the deck is soooo sick, this is what izzet is all about

delightful discovery that made my day: you can search for this baby with the string "ssss" 🐍

@DashiJador @HVC_Vaymira Not wasd related, its a known bug with the zeri patchwork. Theyre working on a fix 👍

@HVC_Vaymira Hmmm the team looked into it and it didn't seem like a bug. Can you explain more? @HydroZenith for an assist if it's a high elo experience pain point 🤔

Due to the current requests for WASD in Ranked, we went ahead and started to turn on the experience as ranked goes out globally! Many regions should start to see access ASAP! Thank you all for coming and requesting WASD Ranked!

With 16.9 releasing the S2 content the team has been working on is finally out! Excited to see what crazy builds/combos crop up - anyone have fun support builds they wanna share :)

paid roles :o when i was in university (do not ask me how long ago), i volunteered for the esports club and thats how i got my foot in the door with gaming and esports!! These opportunities are so cool

@nicole_clash MY GOAT so cool to read your accomplishments I've witnessed first hand and ones I never would have known about. Can't wait to see you keep growing in whatever you apply yourself to :D

How many hours do I need to put into pokopia to justify a switch2 purchase hmmmmm

anyone have favorite or hidden gem idle games? can be on steam/mobile/anything

@MeteosLoL glad to have you :D

Today was my first day on the Gameplay Analysis Team at Riot! I’ll be playtesting and giving feedback for new changes coming to League. Excited to work with and learn from all the talented designers at Riot :D

@HouseWD nah good catch looks like a bug, ill make sure the team knows ty for the report!

@HydroZenith Is it intended that Zeris E is still moving to cursor when i have abilities on going in the direction of movement?

Been a bit since I've posted a WASD update but the team just added an attack range indicator for WASD to PBE that shows if you try to attack something outside of your range - can turn this off/on in the settings. Let me and the team know how it feels!

@yoojpls aram mayhem time

unironically gonna start picking up league of legends again at this rate

none of my friends ever like playing the same games as i do fuck my kappachungus chud life

@DovydasDovis3 @Midbeast It is an alternative skill test that asks you to release the movement keys between attacks, similar to how in point&click controls you have to cancel your attack animation with movement to kite perfectly

@Midbeast they killed it pre-release by placing these bullshit nerfs with delays and shit. dumbest decision ever. why with a certain control set my character is doing X dps but with another it’s doing Y dps? makes no sense

after all the whining about WASD does anybody even use this shit?

@BigBoyJonas1 @Midbeast Its not explicitly nerfed in any way, it has an alternative skill test for kiting. If you play and practice WASD you can kite at the same effectiveness as a player playing point and click controls.

@Midbeast It is apparently nerfed to the point where it is just worse to use. So now the problem is that people who learn this game with WASD will have eventually to relearn the game entirely if they want to play optimally. This was one of the outcomes people predicted.

@IKeepItTaco @drewlevin @Reptile9LoL

I was the equivalent of challenger in Dota 2 and CS before I installed league. Those games heavily rewards thinking outside the box. So, in league I can shutdown a lot of people by building "what makes sense right now" vs "optimal damage output". What Reptile is experiencing to me is more of a Solo Q issue than a game balance issue. If you are alone as an ADC with a glass cannon build then I believe you should be one shot by Zed, Le Blanc, Talon, etc if they have enough levels + items. The ADC shouldn't be alone and there should be a support + vision out + distance and hopefully a team to CC or bait out abilities from the enemy. If there's a lot of fed assassins on the enemy team and my support and team are doing absolutely nothing to help me out then I have 2 choices. 1:Keep building damage and hoping my team gets better and keeps me alive or 2: build whatever resist I need right now and sacrifice optimal damage just for the ability to stay alive and farm and scale a bit better. I usually go with the 2nd choice cause solo q teammates aren't reasonable a lot of the time. This is also why assassins are rarely an issue in pro-play while often being an issue in solo q. Pro players are allowed to go full damage as ADC almost every game no matter what because they have the privilege of a support and team playing around them. Solo Q players especially ADCs do not have that privilege. And an easy way to get myself to build is I ask myself, why should I be the one to suffer and lose out on damage because my team doesn't want to do their job correctly? Well, it's Solo Q. You can't control or change your teammates, but you can control and change what you do which is item choices in this scenario. So, I sacrifice damage for survivability when I rly need it even if it feels bad giving up damage.

Thoughts on S16 so far:
