@doulbedoink Not allowing post-game chat is probably one of the smartest things they've ever done.

Patch 26.7 Preview
Thank you to the team for handling the Patch while I was at First Stand!
Many of the folks who went hadn't been to Brazil before, including me and the players there were just so passionate, we had a lot of listening sessions with the community, Q&A's, and the event itself was great
It was overall an amazing, though short time (only 2 days), but alas, lots of exciting work to be done back home!
First Stand
- Congrats to BLG and the LPL for winning their first international title in about 3 years!
- The First Stand meta ended up being quite good; there was significant diversity in every role between classes
- One notable gap was AP junglers and AD mids (related) and so we'll see what we can do to enable some more of those picks heading into the Season
- Was especially happy with the Bot meta; Lethality Varus had a 14% winrate and there was a good mix of Casters, Hypercarries and Utility as well as many fringe picks like Zeri, Kog, etc.
- Ranged Supports are really starting to get away from the rest of the pack now with laning being a much larger focus due to role quests
- Not necessarily a bad thing though, given that we've been in Melee supp meta for many years
- Game pacing overall felt good (or at least I thought so) and the lack of lane swaps really allowed each role to shine, with GigaBin showcasing the power of an unleashed Top lane role
- It really did seem like every lane could carry and balance of objectives vs splitting felt pretty appropriate
Shyvana
- Shyvana definitely initially landed a bit strong and her hotfix put her in a decent spot after that
- Shyvana has a bit of an unintended interaction with Sylas that we will be micropatching out tomorrow; essentially he benefits double from her auto attacks passive (with Sylas's passive) that makes his attacks do pretty eye popping values
- We're still taking our time to evaluate role viability for Top Shyvana and whether it's reasonably supportable without destroying Jungle role satisfaction
- We've also been working on some changes to increase satisfaction of Passive, reduce MMR skew, increase counterplay and satisfaction of E
Support Quest
- A few patches ago, we talked about reducing the negative impact of the support quest to reduce complexity
- We're going to pull this all the way this patch. This may result in some farming support shenanigans, but then you're also denying your bot carry their quest progression; we're giving it a go to see if anything breaks
More on champions tomorrow

@DeadlockAnon i like when the counterplay to an obviously busted character is to not lose to them and make them lose to you by buying 10k worth of items

@BanditFerretEll @DeadlockAnon the +- is there for show youre right

@_jiroking @DeadlockAnon Anyways, submit feedback to the forums, they are testing and tuning the matchmaking, it's a part of alpha regardless of player count. Your initial post isn't clear at all and whether players should be above or below you

@_jiroking @DeadlockAnon Hours<> rank or skill tho?
If it did, then the meta would just be whoever plays the most games
Some people can play 2k hours and still end up in alchemist cause it’s skill-based rank not hour-based

@Arktheos What did he say? I legit cant understand him this time

@DeadlockAnon the quick call system is ass icl. cant ping when dead, cant ping enemies(it will just say going to X/urn is here)
Playing league for years and then not being able to ping on the map feels so so bad.

Day 7 of the ADC climb and we've hit MASTA elo, now the true challenge BEGINS
I'm having fun learning to play league in a new role, the hardest thing about playing ADC is to not get angry when things are out of your control, rest is VIBE
Sweating yet @Drututt @TenshiTTV ?

@pervertsquared @DeadlockAnon Game where you play items vs game where you play characters

@DeadlockAnon this item is what made me fall in love with dota and realize league is a piece of garbage
