Stefan Sain Lopuszanski 🔜 GAMA + GDC

Thanks to @GameDevCT and @BosUnityGroup ! I moderated this mixer for 2+ hours and it was a lot of fun. Great learning experience & despite a few technical hiccups, I think it went very well. Also, thanks to @stimhacked for joining us and doing Q&A! youtube.com/watch?v=1RY6sQ…

@RiotLopeeee @VALORANT I dunno! Maybe! Branding is weird 🙃 Look up the trademark for CONVERGENCE : A League of Legends Story. (It isn't even CONVERGENCE it is a misspelling of it)

@Stexe @VALORANT Thank you!! It makes sense to brand like that but maybe not for every product. Could you imagine LEGENDS OF RUNETERRA 😂

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! ❤️

@TheBwoffa Chatting with Meddler on the floor near Riot's PAX East booth. He was telling me how he worked on Ziggs (who was fairly new at the time) and how much he loved Race for the Galaxy. We chatted about board games for quite a while. And look at him now! @RiotMeddler

Alright Gamers, I have another community request for y'all! I'm looking to see if y'all have stories about times you've had interactions with Rioters in person that had an impact on you, big or small. 😃 If you haven't: where and how do you think Rioters should be showing up in the community in person?? 👇

It's been a tough eight months for @UnknownWorlds and the @Subnautica community. But today, we've been vindicated! courts.delaware.gov/Opinions/Downl… Time to dive back in. 🌊

@drewlevin : Looks like the button to play Demacia Rising disappeared from the client due to First Stand 2026 taking its place. AFAIK there's no way to play Demacia Rising because of the button going away. Unless I'm missing something?

@Ziegler_Dev I feel like it is difficult to run because the time to kill is so fast.

More tips to survive Tau Ceti: - if you’re new focus on sponsored kit runs until you fill your vault and learn the maps, then try using some gear. If you lose it, rinse repeat :). -smokes, invis, and signal jammers significantly reduce or remove AA on you (if the other player is using a controller) - signal jammers pretty much render you almost invisible to thermal scopes, but also make you undetectable to turrets, tads, and other detection methods. - the slower you move the less you can be seen in invis, stopping entirely makes you invisible. - you can use MCH kits to reduce heat buildup from the fire rain on outpost, or remove the debuff from overheating - pay attention to weapon chip mods, they hold really valuable perks, like reloading stowed weapons, for example - being in water increases your speed of heat regeneration and reduces heat buildup. Couching also increases heat regeneration. Crouch in water and you regen heat the fastest. And just remember: - it’s not always about being the first to kill. It’s more often about being the one to live. (No shame in running when you don’t think you can win.)

@TheBwoffa Nice! How long did that take?

I FINALLY DID IT. UNLOCK MASTER COMPLETE. TFT SET 16 DOMINATED 🥲👊❤️

@drewlevin At the start of the game maybe not, but after like 2-3 minutes then yes

ranked league players: should we treat flashing for fun (in the way that people do in aram) as a piece of evidence that someone is inting?

@Spideraxe30 Cool, but can his late game get a buff? 😭

Pyke nerf: - Base armor reduced from 43 to 37

@RiotPhroxzon What's the context / reason for the Pyke nerfs?

Patch Preview 26.6! Overall - Overall, the game is looking pretty healthy in terms of balance and broad satisfaction - Over the coming patches, we're going to be looking at some of the champs that have felt a bit unloved/worse for wear and would love to hear your suggestions (both champions and systems) Systems - Chempunk Chainsword has been one of the weaker Grievous items for a while. While we don't want Grievous items to become too commonplace, as it subtly degrades champion kits when too common, it is still just a bit weak for even that purpose - The support item minion penalty has been a pain point for support users and with role quests, the risk of funneling (why it was there in the first place) has been reduced pretty significantly, so we're removing that drawback Shen - Shen Jungle has really started to take off recently, which is really awesome to see! (thanks xPetu!) - That said, he is a tad strong, especially in lower levels of play Zaahen - We're really happy to see Zaahen picking up a sizeable audience in both Top and Jungle, but now that regular players, in addition to experienced players are starting to demonstrate that top end mastery performance, he's looking too strong across the board - Currently, we think his Jungle is a bit stronger than Top, so the nerfs are mostly focused there Skarner Top focus - Skarner has been out of the spotlight for a while and since we've tapped down a few of the things that were causing him to be overbearing in Top (especially W max and the E point blank kidnaps), we think he can get a bit more power there Olaf - Jungle Olaf has fallen a little behind the pack so we're adding some power back

@KristinaSOSKi Hope the transition goes well!

Hello friends, I’m heading out soon. My entire life is about to change. Please send good vibes // lend me your strength // wish me luck // pray if you’re into that 🕯️ 💕

@Shyvadi0 With the pet movement technique to hit gromp while doing blue you could probably shave off a few more seconds.

Who will be at GDC next week? I just got back from GAMA Expo and I'm flying out for GDC tomorrow. Two weeks of back to back conferences! 🙃

Slay the Spire 2's concurrent Steam players just hit 179,456, the highest ever for any roguelike. When StS1 first launched back in 2017, it had 193 concurrent players. That's a 92,982% increase, meaning StS3 is on track to hit 166,861,777 concurrent players by 2035. 💪

So proud we managed to push this hidden gem to success by revealing it in our first ever showcase! Horrible to think that no-one would have discovered it otherwise 😉

@Spideraxe30 @MaxwellPerlman I thought they stabilized this as 0.5 second things by now as minimums?

@MaxwellPerlman I know it'd be more or less be the same, but would it be possible to make her fury generation tick per quarter second. Tick per second is kinda yucky these days

Shyvana PBE Update PBE has generated a lot of passionate and helpful feedback for Shyvana's VGU so we have put together some changes that we believe will help improve satisfaction and the feel of the new kit. As always on PBE things are always subject to change as we test.

@Spideraxe30 Ah, it is called "First Stand" not "First Strike" -- I was wondering why I wasn't finding any info on it.

@Sabby @LeagueOfLegends Thanks! I hope they don't make them exclusive because a lot of people can't interact with these systems
