Beige is the new black

@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:

WASD now live on normal draft! Keep playing and giving feedback on what feels good and what feels bad <3 And while you're at it tell me how the season changes feel too hehe

@doneige_ Do ittt i need more motivation to make use of my membership

@doneige_ Its time for the return :D

My dog back home has begun to perfectly mimic my dads snoring when hes not even sleeping

@MoleculeLOL Overgrowth or rust is typically what we called it in dev before we finalized the name. Or even just "demolish" since its similar to the rune and people usually knew you meant that rather than the rune

Can someone come up with a good nickname for these crystals? Because it just sounds so awkward to talk about Best thing I've heard so far was tower rust

@gaymergrrl This is true of locked camera as well tragically, the intent is scout ahead should help (and the speed should be adjustable to make suit your preferences for how fast/slow it scrolls). Have you tried using this feature much for things like TP or global abilities? Any thoughts?

I'm walking back to lane/cross map it's very hard to both look at the minimap and keep my character moving in the right direction. 4. Unsure how to address this, but right now dynamic camera feel pretty unusable with any long range ability, ie Caitlyn/jinx/briar ult or even /4

@DashiJador Hi, thank you so much for working on WASD! I've been playing this game for almost 4 years and I kept quitting because my brain could never get used to point and click controls. I am having SO MUCH more fun with WASD. I have a couple of suggestions as you tweak it:/1

@doneige_ This is insane

@WayOfTheTempest Nah but how can we be buffing heads with this winrate

LMAOOOOOO XD????? WQHAUTEWHUOAIHJFNOAHJNOTGJFHDS HUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH yea bro

@d0tbel Yeee we working on a fix for this, I think as of now you can also click with the mouse to get off - but we trying to make pressing wasd also get off towards your cursor

@HydroZenith tried out taliyah on wasd last night and noticed that i cannot jump off my wall without casting an ability

One thing I'd love to hear from players as they try out WASD: How does your favorite champ feel to play with WASD controls? Are there any combos/actions for that champ that feel off compared to Click-to-Move?

@SkyrstLoL Can't always, but I also can't kite perfectly consistently at 3AS on click-to-move lol, and I suspect its similar for most players! Hoping that the skill tests feel similar in difficulty in actual games, and remember its only like day 3 of WASD and year 16 of click-to-move

Noah could do consistently do the skilltest at 3.0 at all? A setting I tried that might help: Auto Attack on? And player feels wise the reason these AS videos are blowing up is because there’s no way to know if they’re being penalized. Will see what clever solution design team comes up with!

Try releasing movement before your attack fires to avoid the attack delay on WASD 😶‍🌫️
