You've seen the website and devoured all of its information.\
You're not here to pose opinions as questions, because nobody knows how to answer that.
If we don't have details on things (yet), we'll probably let you know. Otherwise let's talk about some of the things we've got upcoming in the 2016 Season!
So, um, what happens if we're the one solo playing with a group of four players? That's never fun.
It worries me a lot that 5 man premade can queue for Ranked and get to play against 5 non-premade enemy team. It gives a lot advantage to premade team because of communication and coordination. I strongly suggest that you rethink this issue.
Is there something you personally would like to talk about for the 2016 season? Everybody is excited or angry about something.
Why is literally everything getting teased except for the Poppy rework
One of the most complained about parts of ranked solo queue is the ability to duo queue. Why would you people even consider adding the option to queue as 3, 4 and 5 man groups in SOLO queue ?
What are you people thinking ? This change is seriously going to ruin all of the awesome stuff you guys have done for season 6 and make ranked a mode that I will never queue for again.
You already have ranked 5 v 5. You already have ranked 3 v 3.
This game does not have an actual solo queue and you guys are actually seeking to make the state of the game worse than it already is. WHY ?
I didn't see this post before making a thread, oops. But my question and worry is, do you guys still plan to reward solo players with the party IP Bonus and Champion Mastery + Crafting? I've always preferred solo play and most of my IRL friends don't play League so I'm kind of bummed about this decision. I know solo players are the minority but we still exist!
Also do you have any plans about 4 man ranked queues and the solo player they get? What do you think about the lack of communication between the premade and solo queuers and potential trolling?
Are alt-mode players going to still be left out of things in 2016?
Or are you finally going to allow Champion Mastery on Dominion, TT, and ARAM so that we get a shot at these chests too?
Any chance on Riot reverting the Dynamic Group crap in solo queue ?
One of the most complained about aspects of solo queue was the duo queue portion of it. Why on earth would you people choose to expand on the part most people voiced displeasure with ?
What does Riot have against solo players ? Why are you guys punishing us ?
I was looking forward to all of the awesome changes and improvements within the client and the new team builder style queue, but Dynamic Groups completely ruins it. If this goes live I will never play ranked again and I will be so disappointed in you guys.
will the new client still have to be strg-alt-entf closed after a minor dc to reconnect because manually shuting it and starting it new is still faster than waiting for it to do anything ever again...?
For the new picking phase; Is this something meant to replace teambuilder, or is it for draft and/or blind pick?
I apologize that this isn't quite on topic, but I'd like to know for future reference: what exactly is considered an opinion posed as a question, and can you give us an example? I ask this because I've read posts in the past that were evidently such, and the responses to those questions were unhelpful. I feel like the phrase may be unfamiliar or unclear to those posting. It would be nice if an example were shown in OP's like this one so that it could be avoided. I generally like reading the Riot responses in this board and am glad the Dev Corner was made, but it bothers me when someone asks a question I thought was legitimate and it receives an unhelpful response instead.
Why do you not add a new real solo queue in addition to the dynamic group queue for all of us who would much prefer playing solo?
Was the removal of Expanded Mind (25/50/75 mana) overlooked when champions who needed compensation for the removal of mana pots were compensated? If any of those champions took expanded mind, 50 mana still leaves them 25 mana behind where they were before changes to masteries.
Are the doran's ring changes expected to make up for that loss? Is the increased mana regen on the support items enough? Will champions who are struggling have their early mana costs adjusted if the compensation is not enough?
What's the difference between ability damage and spell damage? Are abilities "actives" and spells are QWER?
The new (AIR-free) client become more Linux-friendly! So can we expect next year a **Beta LoL for Linux ** (like Mac in 2013)?
I posted this on the main update page and reposting it here (cos I have no way to track my messages on the main update page)
My 2 concerns (and if this has been posted, read it again, blame it that I can't find it on the boards):
I typically don't have a preference pick, its typically "what synergies with my team the most and counters them the most". Can I opt out of pick intent?
Right now you (Riot) doesn't forsee meta changes, but with the new RH, there is a possiblity of having 2 players in mid lane. Or what if we want to have a double bruiser (duo) bot, forcing the adc to go top? How does this feature (or future features) help in communicating that intent to team mates?
In a full build, an adc only needs to dedicate one item slot to killing tanks, Dominik's Regards. He can still dedicate three slots to raw damage (damage/multiplier/lifesteal), one to afore-mentioned tank-damage, one to boots and one to defence (guardian angel/banshee's veil).
Why not make adcs pick whether they want to semi-burst squishies or kill tankies, even in a full build? (For example by splitting up tank-killing items over multiple slots.)
Mac users will be allow to signup the alpha ?
I would like to :)
@RiotPwyff
Have you guys considered adding a customizable chroma as a prize? Basically, when you get to the required champion mastery you would be able to upload a chroma for that champion. You guys could put it in the client or let us do it ourselves. If you make your own version in the client, you could give us a certain palette and designate areas that can have their color changed, so nothing offensive is added. I think this would be a good idea, seeing as it would be a major reward to players- being able to represent their champion and mastery by having their own custom skin for that champion. If necessary, throw the chroma price of 400+ rp on it or something.
So, let's assume that the new dynamic ranked queue CANNOT find a 5-man queue to go against my 5-man queue. Would it look for a 4-man + solo queue next, or something else?
With the new client, will we be able to change in-game settings (resolution, audio, etc.) without having to dip into a (custom) game?
I know you might not be ready to talk about this and that's fine but, will the client update be raising the hardware requirements for LoL?
