League will be looking into increased detection of and punishment for soft inting, which is a large problem in the game. Now that we have machine ID info with Vanguard, how quickly should we transition punishment from account level to hardware level? Immediately or some lenience?

People have talked and asked about why our first inductee was an active player. The truth? The only way to develop an ambitious new concept like Hall of Legends is to be truly inspired. Faker, you inspire us all. You are the golden road on which others follow.

I have now served as League of Legends’ Game Director for 15 months. Some reflections on the year and our path forward: 1. We should chase legendary dreams rather than perfect what we know 2. Fun over fair, change over inertia, journey before destination (Cont, 1/x)

ARAM enjoyers: 1. Do you think ARAM is different enough game to game? 2. Do you think there is room in ARAM for objectives that incentivize conflict without being the main way of winning? 3. Should ARAM feel more skill-driven or less skill-driven/whackier?

8. We need to build our game’s roadmap priorities around what players will FEEL. Logic is secondary to visceral emotions. 9. Players want to feel seen and heard. Rioters want to feel valued and respected. 10. 2024 will have something for everyone. 2025 will change League forever.

Arena is back in May with a huge update for a ~4 month run, and based on how it sustains player interest we'll gauge opportunities for permanence. We're also releasing a new game mode in July for the summer event - a cooperative PvE mode! Check out the dev update for more info

6. Rioters care more than players think. Players care more than we can fathom. Every time I attend an event, this is reinforced. 7. Rioters are legit scared of letting players down. This is both good and bad, and is reinforced by social media. (3/x)

@SkinSpotlights Should be tuned that it takes roughly same amount of engagement to hit lvl 100 on HoL pass as lvl 50 on a standard event pass. Might be slightly easier actually.

3. Our players are very different from each other, and grow more so each year 4. No matter how skilled, or how grumpy, everyone loves to be surprised and delighted 5. Current plans are just noise without a long term vision. A vision can’t be realized without succeeding now. (2/x)

It's exciting to talk about some of the stuff that 2024 will bring for League players. We think it's going to be a really fun journey. Now the important part - executing on the things we've talked about with the quality you all deserve. We likely won't get 100%, but we'll try.

@Dawnality Each of the levels has a different historical stat, story, or fun fact about the inductee. We wanted to reallt explore the full journey of each player - 100 touch points felt more appropriate than 50 for that.

@SkinSpotlights I hear you - we're operating off of a design/tuning intent that this is not supposed to be harder to complete. A high % of pass purchasers get to lvl 50 in Event Passes. We want to see similar for HoL, and will fix once live if it's not trending that way.

@wyd_rami Yes, League will maintain its core identity as a premier competitve PvP experience built around mastery, competition, and fair skill expression. Fun>Fair doesn’t mean we don’t care about fair. It means we need to realize there are times (or modes) when we should prioritize fun.

@USCTroJhin 1. Yay Reggie got his heisman back 2. Is your concern that ARAM mains may not be able to complete the track in time, or that there is a delta of completion speed for ARAM vs SR players? I think some delta there is fine and appropriate (given Faker’s legacy is on SR).

@Spideraxe30 @drewlevin We need to not evaluate all modes the same. Some will index toward novelty and providing a fun 3-5 hour experience, with some small amount of players expected to go really deep. Others are meant for broad, lengthy engagement. League has room to do both.

@Spideraxe30 Hey Spideraxe! We currently offer ways for players to get skins at lower prices (discounts, free chests/shards, your shop, etc). We don't really want to deliberately make meaningful "worse" skins than 1350s - and players haven't indicated they want that (1/2)

@eternxL It’s pretty hard to balance missions tailored to a playstyle, role, or mode without favoring one type of player over others. Even without going too specific, we have some ARAM or support players feeling kinda sad about slower mission progress.
