Isn t this lore change some sort of laying down the basis for Riot's next game?

Probably.Can't see another reason to try to fix something that is fine.Like this isn't a story driven genre all they needed to do was make good backgrounds for the champs.

next game, they are allready overloaded with league!

Still changing the engine to not take buggy shortcuts all the time (i.e. "coded as minion"), still no recording, still vision bug.

I know. Darkin? Seriously Dark kin. You can't some up with anything better? Oh and they look like spawn rejects. Great.

I'm pretty sure if Riot is working on a new game, (which is definitely possible) it's a completely different team than the LoL one.

"Riot announcement - People with chat restrictions can no longer play ranked games."

Now that's a bomb of a reddit title. It was fun reading the replies before people figured out that what's really happening is a new punishment, ranked restriction

riotsocrates :

Hey all, this title is inaccurate.

A player can be chat restricted but not ranked restricted. Ranked restrictions are a new system with a higher threshold for punishment.


Seems fair enough to me.

it's a punishment to normal players, read:greater than 50% of the player base, it makes no sense

how so?

also I like this but the only thing I would change is having to play normal drafts to get rid of it.
make it so that it's both blind pick and draft.


because it foists people who don't want to be played with on to them

Rank restriction is essentially a prisoner's island approach.

I'm kind of ambivalent to this, because now all those toxic ranked players are forced to go ruin normal games for the people who are avoiding ranked for the express purpose of playing stress-free relaxing games.

In addition, the super toxic players probably lack the cognition or empathy to self-identify as toxic and thus are deluded into still thinking everyone else is the problem regardless of what objective metrics or quantifiable heuristics you use to isolate them.

On the other hand, the population difference between normals players and super toxic ranked players should be large enough that any negative experience is extremely dilute.

IMO they should write champion lore like this:

Step 1: DOA, Phreak, Doublelift (yes), TheOddOne (Ezreal the cripple?), and Rivington each separately write a champion lore ~5-15 paragraphs after playing a single alpha game of the champ.
Step 2. They put the above names on a little spinning wheel. Jatt, blindfolded, is given a pushpin and both he and the wheel are spun. Then the pushpin determines which lore is chosen!

Step 2 is obviously filmed, and spraying Jatt with waterguns by other Riot employees is encouraged.

Not sure what's the hate on the new direction. Are you a nasus main and now disappointed he's not some demigod anymore or what?


Nah, I just really could care less about the lore and would suggest they fire 100% of the lore people and spend nothing on it. However, if they were to pay for lore, I prefer something amusing than basically "so deep, dark and menacing". I think people like TOO would give me something funny to read ("He has to use his ult to clear creep waves, that's how weak Ezreal is...but look! His ult can't even clear the wave!" "Haha look at Ezreal, he's like a 5 year old with a little toy gun! Look at me I'm Ezreal! PEWPEWPEWPEW").

That is better lore than Syndra's "Im angry and want power" or the Darius/Draven stuff. If your lore is going to be childish and stupid, then go ham and let goofballs write it. Plus, you can't write good lore for 120 champions. Blizzard can barely do it for Kael and Thorr. So if you want real lore, you pick 3 characters, and write 500 page books on them with casual mentions of stupid guys like Khazix and Rengar.

All the people that don't play ranked and only normals are now forced to play with people that don't want to be playing with them. It's treating normals as "inferior" to ranked play. It's basically a cop out of the Valve LP system where instead of treating all forms of play equal and creating a new tier at the very bottom they have shifted all these "toxic" players onto a large portion of their player base.

It's idiotic.

don't get me wrong I think it will be motivating as a lot of (generalization incoming) toxic players are addicted to ranked, there are just ways to create motivation without collateral, as effective as this could be, probably not, but I find this idea counterintuitive.
