You're looking at about 15 to 20 minutes per game in Wild Rift thanks to this adjustment. Pushing without an effective enemy champion to oppose you can potentially end the game even before reaching double-digit minu

A woman named Stephanie, who previously dated a Riot Games employee, presented compelling evidence that Seraphine was modeled after her . While Riot Games denied the claims, it's hard to deny the similarities between Stephanie and the character - especially considering this is the third time Riot has been accused of t

I say this because not only did Riot put the character in the game, but they've since brushed off Stephanie's claims as mere coincidence. They've denied that Seraphine is based on anyone , in fact, in a statement given to PC Ga

** TheGamer: ** When designing Agents, one goal is to create characters who will make for exciting team comps. However, I was curious if you ever develop Agents specifically to be "appealing" or "easier" for new players? I got the impression that Killjoy might be an Agent meant for newb

It might seem a little boring for each side to have the same advantages and disadvantages, but there is enough variety that it's hard to notice. Also, it does make for a fairer experience and evens out the playing fi

An armored Yordle with a massive hammer, Poppy is used a lot in pro play and higher elos because she can initiate fights and ram enemy champions into walls, and her ultimate can knock away the entire enemy team if nee

By doing away with the character entirely, Riot could come down on the right side of this. Instead of sticking their fingers in their ears and pretending there isn't a problem, this is an opportunity for the company to show it actually cares about its players. It's an opportunity for them to forgo a few million on top of their billions, and to actually help soothe harm done to a real person. It's also an opportunity for them to retire their abhorrent marketing strategy for Seraphine, which would do a lot to garner goodwill and help win back people they might have alienated. Sure, it's the path of least profit, meaning that they likely won't do any of this. However, arcane Death from the perspective of moral imperative, it's the only right course of action to t

Miss Fortune ( seemingly set to be playable in Ruined King: A League of Legends story alongside other Champions ) is an easy-to-pilot champion with off the charts wombo-combo potential due to her ultimate ability, Bullet Time. Miss Fortune currently has a win rate of 53% and a ban rate of about 13% in Iron, Bronze and Silver divisions. When paired with crowd control centric supports such as intriguing newer addition Seraphine (whose ultimate lines us champs perfectly for game changing Miss Fortune plays), she can really devastate oppone

Wards are important, which is why they've been given to everyone, but making them the responsibility of one or two support players significantly decreases the fun in playing with those champions with the expectation that they focus solely on map vis

However, no canned corporate apology can take the place of common sense, and I'd hazard to guess most rational people can see through Riot's denial. The writing is on the wall, and in the court of public opinion, it spells out a pretty grim message. It's hard to read through Stephanie's account and walk away with anything other than disgust at how stressful and dehumanizing this experience has been for her. A real flesh and blood person has been distilled down into a hollow facsimile, then sold for more profit than most of us will ever seen in our lives. It's nauseating on every possible le

** Max Grossman: ** When we think about the characters we're making, we tend to first look at player fantasies. So the idea of playing with a turret is something that many players want. We can look at many different games to learn and dissect how similar types of player fantasies exist in other games. I don't think we want to be derivative necessarily, but I also think it would be ridiculous for us to claim that we came up with the turret first as if it's this genius idea since that's not the case. It's more like "there's a turret in Overwatch. How does it work? There's a turret in Team Fortress. How does it work? Rainbow Six has turret-like gadgets." We can compare how abilities work within the context of those games and use it to inform our design. It was hard to figure out how a turret would function in Valor

The fast-moving, bullet-bouncing, sniper-esque virtuoso boasts a win rate of 53% and is banned in about 19% of low division ranked games. Jhin is the poster boy of playing patiently, utilizing his kit to chain crowd control with his support before following up with an onslaught of ranged abilities and attacks. Jhin is a relatively safe pick and does not require mechanical expertise to pilot w

This claim is curious for two reasons. First, the idea that an employee who left over a year ago couldn't have had input on a character released in 2020 is absurd. Game development is a protracted process by its very nature, and many developers do work on games that they don't stay the full course for. It's plausible that a bunch of the design work for Seraphine was in the can last year, and she just now got put into the g
