@trolllordgames Death to goblins! Also cover looks like a bit of an homage to warhammer fantasy rpg early cover. Approve!

@RiotPhroxzon As a keen watcher but never played its always good to see new champions being viable in pro play. Im sure its hard to balance with such a huge pool to work with but the last few years have been so stable that its starting to feel stagnant, only a few pro teams risk outside meta

Patch Preview 26.02! Gameplay Thoughts - Game Time & Snowballing: For the most part, our metrics around snowballing have come in and they're not looking any higher than last season (and for average play are lower). This is pretty much the same across every region. Game time is also looking slightly longer in each region, and even moreso given that the game starts earlier. But at the same time, players have reported that games feel a lot faster. We have a few hypotheses: Certainly, downtime with more frequent minion spawns and homeguards makes it feel like there's constant action happening. Hitting towers and getting those chunks of damage from crystalline overgrowth both feels more rewarding (and more confronting on the receiving end), so it feels like progress is being made faster, even if it's not actually that much faster. Barons are being taken earlier, since they're spawning again at 20 minutes, even though Baron takes are a bit weaker than they were before (gives +150G instead of +300G), so games don't typically end after the first Baron push. Players have often associated the first Baron take with the game being over, but that is a bit less of the case this Season. For now, we're not going to make any changes to Snowballing and Game Length, but will continue to monitor how things play out. Balancing the needs of the Summoner's Rift audience is pretty tough. There is a section of the audience who really enjoys the slow, methodical form of "Classical Chess/League" and at the same time, there are some sections of the audience who love "Blitz Chess/League". While we don't intend to go all the way down to Bullet chess speeds, we also need to be very responsive to the needs of our audience, especially global players and younger players who are often looking for a game with less downtime and faster pacing. At the same time, we don't want to move so quickly that we're alienating our long time core players who might be looking for a slower, more strategic game. We'll continue to fine-tune this over the course of the season. Vision: The amount of vision has also been a hot topic. We've heard a lot of your discussions on Faelights and the overall state of vision. We've opted not to do anything to do them for 16.2, but are in active discussion for 16.3, especially in terms of how they affect early jungle ganks. Otherwise, we're not planning anything major until Pro Play starts. Role Agency & Strategy: We're going to hold a little bit on taking a definitive stance on which roles are most and least powerful, we don't feel any are so out of line that we need to act now. It's been fun to observe how some players are putting roles at the top of their tier list and different players are putting the same role at the bottom (cough ADC cough). There are a lot of things for players to optimize here, but so far, we've been pretty happy with how the game, especially in the mid-game feels a bit more strategic; should I greed tempo to get an Overgrowth proc here, should I push next wave to try and get that turret chunk for gold. Bugs & Features - [Fixed] Draven Q: Bug that was causing reduced damage has been micropatched onto Live - [?] Dropped Inputs: We've been actively triaging some reports of dropped inputs on 16.1 when sequencing abilities. Things like Q -> Hydra -> W on Fiora working differently in 15.24 compared to 16.1. If you have any more examples of these, please pass them over, so we can track them down. - [16.3] Support Quest + Control Ward Bindings: We've been testing 2 changes to address some of the bad feels around control wards. The first is to put the control ward in the role quest slot at the start of the game (this has some weirdness with how the UX of the slot is conveyed and can be confusing to players). We're also testing an option where control wards can be double bound to both the role slot and the item slot where you hold it in your inventory. We've also been investigating whether we should be reverting V be defaulted back to caution ping and to re-bind the role quest slot to a different button. - Cassio: Please remember to buy boots on Cassio, she has feet now Ranked - [16.2] Champ Mastery: We're actively resolving an issue where Champ Mastery grades are higher than normal in certain situations (S's in situations where it's not warranted) - [16.2] Aegis of Valor: We've resolved an issue where in <1% of games Aegis of Valor was not proccing in situations where it should (eg. when autofilled) - [16.2/3] Start of Season LP: For players in OCE & China who played games during the period where Ranked placements were compromised, we will be granting players bonus LP for games played during that period - [16.2] KR and JP Ranked Climbers: For players in Korea and Japan who started their climbs during the compromised period, we're also looking to remedy their situations sometime during Patch 16.2. - We're seeing reduced dodge rates across all MMR's - We've also been seeing some successful lobby terminations for disruptive behavior and are continuing on our journey to roll this out in more regions - But overall the Ranked changes have rolled out pretty smoothly and we're happy with how things have gone there

@0qlxw_ Happy 16th birthday! Hope u had cake

Is he mad?

@g0thgoblin @Celebrim42 40s IQ u mean 😇

"Fae is essentially a slur for the hidden folk. It's like naming your kid the n word" incredible stuff happening in my DMs

@NornQueenKya Sending all the hugs to u and family

Some very sad news. Nunu passed away this morning. He curled up to me while working and had a heart attack. Vet thinks it was from a blood clot. He always had extensive health issues, despite being so lively Most know him as Nunu the hobby cat. But more then that, he was my son's best friend. I had a very difficult and shakey pregnancy, and thats when Nunu came into our lives. He would sleep and pur on my belly like telling my son in the womb it was going to be okay. He helped me immensly get through it. He later helped my son get through his first few years and made him laugh every day. In his short life, He went from being an abandoned runt of a litter to being one of the toughest cats around. Being known across the world and featured in hundreds of stores. All simply for being my little unapologetic derp. I'll miss you Nunu and thank you for saving my family when we needed you most.

@NornQueenKya So sorry to hear of the loss, will be greatly missed

If you want one final story of Nunu the Legend We buried him in the backyard in sight of the porch, so he can brag to Clementine and Odin hes finally free Some stray came up and paid her respects. No clue who it was. Nunu apparently had a secret life

this is how loot works

@elvenmaidinn Have u read any of the swordworld 2.5 ttrpg books, super neat

Records of Lodoss War is one of well known Fantasy Anime among TTRPG Community. Everyone that reads it feel at home because Lodoss War was created by Ryo Mizuno that based it story on D&D Campaign that he played, bringing tropes that we all know and love. But did you know that Records of Lodoss War is not the only work based on TTRPG he created? Record of Grancrest War is as series of Light Novels (Followed by Manga and Anime) that are based on TTRPG game played by Ryo Mizuno himself. Although focused more on Domain Management it still feel like you watching D&D Campaign. It is one of my favourite anime to watch.

@DirtyDiceGoblin New Zealand cabbage tree, it does do a trex in the light doesnt it!

@mylin110 That tree kinda looks like a dinosaur

Pretty autumn day 🍁

I'll take two 0.005 nib fine liners please

@CastleGrief The entire galaxy with all planets is free online, each planet opens a new section scroll in and out for crazyness travellermap.com

Just downloaded the classic Traveller booklets. I’ve never been a huge sci-fi person but the idea of using these as a basis for exploring/creating my own worlds and setting is appealing. Who’s playing this? Any advice for me?

@memeslich They give more xp than goblins but still burn just as well in a fireball

Say something nice about orcs

I am never alone, but somehow always in solitude

@NornQueenKya Tau is the only true faction

As we know, I have 13 different, Warhammer 40k armies. A larger collection then 99% of anyone out there. A dream household to pick up any army and play! But nooo. My son loves skeletons. And robots. So he wants THE ONE FACTION I DONT HAVE
