Just looking for a quick red response here. What ever happened to the replay system? Is that still in design, or has it been shelved? I know that the menu is still available on the PBE, but that's about all we've heard since it was taken down.
rito said no. Replays are too helpful when trying to learn and improve your gameplay and we wouldn't want that.
This inhouse Replay system that got shelved, is a good reason why another feature that I want should be approved.
RP donation Lol Crowdfunding of features.
Any features that riot shelves or back burners due to resources being devoted elsewhere or current engineers being spread too thin, or not thinking of it etc, we could have a place in the store where we create a category 'funds to combat ddoss, improve network security or otherwise upgrade network', 'funds for NA central or east coast server', 'fund the shelved inhouse replay system', etc... and donate RP to a category. If a category reaches an appropriate amount in a given amount of time, riot could hire people and stick them on the project that was funded; else refund the RP donations. If there was any technical reason why the lol crowd requested feature could not be accomplished or is contrary to riots intentions, RP donated could be refunded.
This inhouse replay system I'd been happy to toss RP at.
As i'm sure you're aware, Riot has been having Server Issues.
A few months back Riot had the Replay System on PBe, and it worked fine. The issue however, was server strain. Having to upload those recordings, and send them to a few hundred people at a time was strain enough on their pbe server they realized they couldn't handle the amount of load the live servers would experience, so they've chosen not to release it.
Perhaps once they've improved server stability to a point they're satisfied with, it can be reviewed and released, but at this point in time the servers aren't in a state where they can handle the replay system.
