Hey folks, the wiki team took some time to write a blog post for the League wiki in 2025, our first full year away from fandom. We pulled a bunch analytics that we don't normally share for everyone to check. Some fun page stats: - Atakhan was the most popular article that we wrote last year at 795,032 views, may he rest in piss - Yunara was the viewed champion page last year at 638,419, just barely beating out Mel by 5000 views. - For lore pages, Zaahen was the most popular at 353,982 views - And people loved to show for Arena, with the augments getting 706,944 views wiki.leagueoflegends.com/year-in-review…

New role posting 🚨... and this time it's in Sydney for an Engineering Manager, Automation & Build Systems We’re looking for an experienced engineering leader to scale high-quality workflows across automation, build systems, and developer productivity for the League MMO.

Today, we are happy to announce that GTA Wiki has moved from Fandom to gta.wiki! This move allows the GTA Wiki to operate free from Fandom's increasingly strict policies, meaning less content censorship (including no longer censoring certain words in articles). This also brings significantly fewer ads, the ability to edit without creating an account, a redesigned and improved front page, and a better overall mobile experience. To ensure the GTA Wiki continues to succeed, we need your help! Here are a few ways you can support the new move: • Spread the word! - Tell your friends that we've moved, and link to gta.wiki anywhere you share GTA Wiki articles. If you are a content creator, please credit gta.wiki instead of the old Fandom domain. • Don't click on Fandom links - In search results, always pick gta.wiki links instead of Fandom ones. This tells Google and other search engines which site to prioritize for readers. You can also install the Indie Wiki Buddy (getindie.wiki) browser extension, which automatically redirects you to the new domain and hides Fandom results from search pages. • Update existing links! - Bookmark gta.wiki in your browser for easy access, and replace any existing instance of "gta.fandom.com" with gta.wiki. • Help improve the wiki! - On the new site, you can even make edits without creating an account. You’re also welcome to join our Discord server if you have questions or want to contribute.

@RiotLopeeee @VALORANT Valorant will be lucky to have you. Top 3 agents?

After 7 years on Legends of Runeterra, I’ll be moving onto my next chapter within Riot as a Marketing Creative Director for @VALORANT. I’m honored for the opportunity to work with the talented folks on the publishing team over there. And I’m hyped to bring the same care, passion and of course, snacks 🍫 to the Val community. Special shout out to the LoR team and players for all that y’all have taught me. It has been such a pleasure and a privilege. Valorant, here I come! ❤️

Apex LP Gains Hey everyone, We’ve had a lot of attempted changes to resolve some of the root issues with the Apex experience this year. Some have worked OK and others haven’t worked as well. We wanted to shine a light on changes that are going out (hopefully) today and how we’re going to approach it for the near term and wanted to apologize for the experience that people have been running into so far. Does every region have negative LP gains? - Less than 5 of our 16 regions are having negative LP gains in Apex right now, and they’re to varying extents - Some of those are experiencing it consistently and others, just a little bit, and most, none at all Is Aegis of Valor causing this? - We don’t see any long term impacts on LP gains caused by Aegis - Especially given that the majority of regions are functioning completely fine What’s going on then? - Masters being more achievable this Season & the best players getting stronger as the years go on is expanding the gap between the bottom of Master and the top of Challenger. - The addition of Challenger duos made it more challenging to balance some of these games - While we took pre-emptive mitigations to reduce the impact of things like Rank 1 & 2 duoing together, they weren’t powerful enough and resulted in the best players catapulting further ahead - The rollout of our improved Matchmaking and better balance to duos (this is now Live in every region); does a better job of balancing duos and balancing autofills to make Apex matches more balanced in over 90% of cases, but there is still work to be done when the very best players are duoing together - In the Live Ranked system, the max LP attainable has a soft cap to prevent LP gains from getting too high, which combined with the above issues has led to a less than ideal apex ladder experience Are you going to reset the ladder? - There are some set of people who are really vocal about resetting the ladder; we hear the concerns and are taking them seriously - At the same time, there are a lot of players who will find it very frustrating for all their progress to be reset and while some players will be happy we reset it, others will not, so we’re continuing to evaluate The changes we’re making - To reiterate, in the Live Ranked system, the max LP attainable has a soft cap to prevent LP gains from getting too high - The closer you get to the top of the ladder, you need a higher and higher winrate to climb. - ie. As a player gets closer and closer to the cap, their gains will approach +10/-30 - We’re going to remove this cap, which will unbound LP on the top end and result in the very best players being able to play and climb to pretty high LP values (+30/-10LP until they start to reach where they should be) - It will also make LP gains for the entire Apex ladder more stable, but LP cutoffs for Grandmaster and Challenger will also increase when most players no longer have negative LP gains - We expect most regions to reach peak LP’s of around 3000 and in some of the top end cases, close to 4000 - Grandmaster and Challenger are meant to be very difficult to achieve and it’s intended to be challenging to get there (in the same way that an Emerald player should look at Diamond and feel like it’s going to be difficult to achieve) - At the same time, we’ve heard your feedback that hitting these ranks feels too daunting and grindy (though there is an expectation that the peak ranks in a game are going to require more dedication to keep, we need to strike a good sweet spot here) The future - Us making climbing at apex less daunting caused us to add Grandmaster several years ago and we’re nearing some of those feels now; the skill gaps in Apex are getting too big - In some regions also, the number of Grandmaster/Challenger slots being too low for how big their region is is also contributing to the cutoffs being very high (EUW being a notable example) -> curious on thoughts on increasing this - We might also reconsider the top end of how much LP you can gain per win, but need to be considerate of how much this incentivizes smurfing - Changes to systems like these are a natural part of League being a long-lived game and having growing player skills over time Thank you for being patient with us as we fix all the things and we’ll continue to work to make the top of ladder climbing experience the best it can be.

Dragon Shyvana Concept Art by Alessandro Pizzi artstation.com/artwork/Jr4y5z

Really happy this skin got made from a shit pitch I made at work back in like mid 2023 or something. 😂 Sad that I didn't end up being the person who made the final concept art but he ended up looking so good!

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.

I'm excited to share a new card from Unleashed, League's iconic Rift Herald. Shelly joins as the Order member of Unleashed's epic jungle monster cycle. Crash into battlefields to find the best units to play with her untimely demise. Or timely if you make a Shelly reflection👀

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

Pengu Garen and other April Fools rift stuff was patched on to PBE

@aphneiios Should be, afaik everything leading up to mageseeker still is

@Spideraxe30 thanks for the double check. This info is on j4's infobox as well, I am unsure if these were added recently or were carryover from the old wiki that no one verified and have mistaken popular fanon as canon. Do we know yet if lux comic is still within canon?

@Spideraxe30 hey spider, what is the source for j4 listed as a lover on shyv's page? as far as i can recall this has never been canonically confirmed, beyond the implication that he has feelings, but shyv's feelings are never mentioned nor explored, so this is factually incorrect

Here are the HD April Fools splashes

Paul is one the realest people at Riot and it shows.
