@kafjing Eliminate jobs and save money. AI has advanced to the point of making whole movie trailers and more nearly seemlessly unless inspecting frame by frame. To their marketing team it saves them money and allows them to make more content to make more money. Win for them, loss for you.

why tf is every company starting to use ai im so serious

@maxdeploy @VGC_News You came to this conclusion and didn't even read the title of the article, he gives his opinion and asks you to have an opinion on it, when others are trying to get you to believe certain ways.

@VGC_News tim cain runs a youtube channel telling players what to think he's not concerned about influencers. he's concerned about competition

Fallout’s co-creator Tim Cain says he's concerned some players are being told by influencers what to think, rather than taking what they've been told and forming their own opinions. vgc.news/news/fallouts-…

@BearyBearx @wizards_magic god forbid a card game is affordable amiright

@wizards_magic Why are they reprinting this card in the first place?

A message from Dan Frazier and Wizards of the Coast:

@RaptorAurion Not when they are basically boiled, those have NO color.

@Punkboxie You think eggs and bacon have no flavor?

any flavor at all

@KaijiTang god I really hate modern magic design, just the spellslinger stuff we've had for years but better and cheaper mana.

spellslinger is FEASTING this set

@SoveyX Memes aside, this guy legit crushed it hOLY-

Under promise and overdeliver.

@truck81260 @TrevorAllenMD brother wasn't enjoying yugioh to begin with, I have never in my LIFE played Polymerization and felt like I just played a strong monster back in the day, especially when a trap hole could just immediate kill it and you wasted three cards.

@TrevorAllenMD GOAT is the only way I’m able to play. Once Synchros came, I stopped trying to keep up because polymerization was rendered useless as a result.

No format has ever fallen off quite like Goat. 🐑 Somehow in the span of 2-3 years a 20 year old format known for its variety and diversity became the most boring solved format of all time, with one deck CLEARLY dominant above all others.

@EthanRivoira @Rhymestyle I don't think this is going to kill Mitsurugi, however I still do believe the better hit was Herald and Feral Imp.

@Rhymestyle Was it really necessary to kill Mitsu? Couldn’t they just ban Herald and Feral Imp?

WHAT

@RiotPhroxzon can't fix apex LP and now removing support farming penalty? oh brother, this games cooked.

Patch 26.7 Full Preview! Shyvana - We're still working on a larger set of changes for Shyvana, but they haven't been finalized yet (I mentioned the direction of some of the changes yesterday) - For this patch, just a change to make Ultimate Haste interactions and also the Sylas interaction nerf from previously Cassiopeia - Buffs to 2 areas that Cassiopeia thrives in; her initial mana pool for early all-ins when she tags with Q - Her maxed E, to reinforce her sustained DPS identity Kalista - Kalista has fallen off significantly in priority in Pro Play, which means we can buff her for regular play! - We're focusing the power in the core area where people play her; her E damage Rell - Similarly, Rell has fallen off pretty significantly as well - Her initial Ult damage will increase her threat in early all-ins, while her E will allow her to fulfil more of her mobile horse identity Veigar - Veigar is in a slightly strong spot for regular play midlane, but is really rocking the bot lane a bit too hard, especially in regular play - The nerfs are targeted at R which sits at Rank 1 in bot lane for quite a lot longer than in solo lanes Singed - Singed is looking a bit too strong in especially normal play - While this nerf looks like a bit of a meme, we expect it matters more than expected on paper just due to the number of stats impacted when ult is active Ornn - Ornn is just a little bit strong, especially given that he has a relatively steep mastery curve

@playriftbound what is this video supposed to even be or promote? you have employees? I mean I sure hope so!

from cards to cars, our #RBUnleashed designers are S tier.

@RiotPhroxzon Why not just do what literally every other competitive game does now instead of forcing players to be hardstuck in a elo despite how hard they try to leave their ranks? Sure, its great that you are acknowledging the pains your players are having, but you need to do something.

Some quick Ranked/Matchmaking updates: 1. We're rolling out improved Autofill vs Autofill Matchmaking in each region (should be complete in each region as of this morning). We had a small hiccup where this was accidentally reverted for 1 day in EUW on roughly the 12th March, but turned back on after that 2. We're aware of the reports of mismatched LP gains in Apex and investigating. Wanted to acknowledge these are painful experiences for folks; it's a hard space, not going to overpromise that we'll be able to fully fix it, but will convene with the team and have an update later today

I was told it couldn't be done, but my pure Gold Sarc Dark Magician deck is moving onto Phase 2!

@RiotPhroxzon @LeagueOfLeaks I mean, jokes are fine. But not everyone would have seen that video and would not have known that its a joke. Majority would see it as an actual buff and be upset by it. But sure, good laugh all things considered I guess.

@LeagueOfLeaks Ah, my bad for trying to have some fun at our job

Sorry, the Xerath change was a joke... about Phreak saying he was Xerath in a patch rundown😢 Please don't take it seriously 😭

@RiotPhroxzon and you're buffing Xerath... why exactly?

Patch 26.6 Full Preview Azir - We're buffing Azir to distribute some of his power back into regular play capabilities through scaling power that Azir players hopefully will appreciate - Phreak is Xerath Lissandra - Lissandra hasn't really felt the same since her Q cooldown was nerfed in Season 9 - Times have really changed since then and her perma priority waveclear + aftershock taking days and in the vein of making champions feel better to play, we're seeing if she can sustain having this cooldown again Olaf JG - These changes are targeted at Jungle, which has been languishing a bit - Top is a little bit weak, so he will be getting buffed there a bit too Sunfire Aegis - Sunfire's build cost (1000g) has been long cited as a pretty painful experience of the item - While we think having some painful build paths is valuable for the long term value of League, we think this one is a bit too painful ---------- Ranked EUW/VN Matchmaking - We've had about a week and a half now of autofill vs autofill matchmaking being Live and we're seeing excellent results - In regions like Vietnam with a high autofill rate, we're seeing autofill vs autofill go from ~25% of games to 75% of games - In EUW, regular play was already good (90% of the time autofill vs autofill), but in high MMR we went from 30% to 85% - We will continue to roll out to more regions over the coming patches as we're seeing positive results here Apex LP - So far, so good on Apex LP fix resolving most of the issues. The fix looks to be good and is holding - >98% of players should be between 19 and 21 in terms of LP gains, calibrating up and down in small amounts (+19/-21 or +21/-19 or +20/-20) - We have one small fix coming in 26.6 to make this even more consistent

@E_Coldfire @Touyarokii @OOC_Unova Yeah Diamond and Pearl is just Inferape if you picked Chimchar and Rapidash thats it. Platinum gave more options but DP was bad with fire types.

@Punkboxie @Touyarokii @OOC_Unova Wait, might be thinking of Diamond and Pearl. I always get those two mixed up.

Pokémon fans in 2010/2011 for some weird reason

@E_Coldfire @Touyarokii @OOC_Unova the bait is strong with this one thinking this gen had less fire types than other games

@Touyarokii @OOC_Unova Nah, I hated the game at the time. No Fire Pokemon.

@DigitalAlucard @DanGreenVoices @eric_stuart Just because a pandemic is over doesn't mean you can't get sick from other people, especially Dan who will likely meet dozens of people in that event and would rather not get sick.

@DanGreenVoices @eric_stuart You realize that the COVID Pandemic ended a few years ago right? Covid isn't a threat anymore. Why wear a mask when 99.99% of people aren't?

Hello Salt Lake City! I’m delighted to be coming to Utah this weekend, @eric_stuart and I will sign, take pictures, do videos and shout outs and he’ll tell you he’s the true King of Games:)
