Doors of Fate: An Experiment

Tamat··54 votes·18,348 views

EDIT! **Skins Concept Art Q&A is LIVE! **Go ask 'em your questions!

We’ve noticed you like Q&As, so we’ve been organizing a few more. But we had an idea this week. What if YOU decided which Q&A we do next? After that idea, I had another. What if we also created a new game to facilitate all this? I then had more ideas, but they were dumb.

Anyway, I’ve put together 3 different Q&As that we could host. Which one you’ll get is up to you and a little bit of fate.

This is an experiment, so let’s walk through how it’ll work:

From now until 2:00pm PST on Saturday June, 21st 2014, you’ll be able to vote on one of three doors (red, gold, or blue). When the window closes, the door with the most votes will unlock to reveal the participants, topic and time of the Q&A you’ll get. You can change your vote at any time, so we expect some heated debate and lobbying for which door is the best door. Not in the mood to mash out a comment? You can still use the arrows on the voting system to participate. Or pass the experiment around on whatever social media you do your sharing.

There are three important things to know before posting:

  1. The Universal Rules are in effect, so please take a second to review.

  2. Please give us feedback about this experiment, but not in this thread. Posting feedback in this discussion will clutter the comments about which door is better and make it harder to properly consider the merits of red, gold, or blue.

  3. We will be giving you several hints while the window is open, so check back often for updates.

THE DOORS HAVE OPENED!

I think I would prefer this choice in the matter. While there are plenty of 'popular' rioters, I don't feel incorrect in saying that most of what goes on behind the scenes is a team-effort.

Maybe it would give us the opportunity to learn about some rioters we don't really hear from or know much about.

Fair opinion! And you're right :) Everything here is a team effort, it's how we make sure we aren't (too) crazy when we make stuff.

Gotta vote for that Blue Door. I mean, who doesn't want a QA with an entire team of rioters?

Polaritie3 votes

This seems likely to be the most insightful. Also, the best option for making suggestions, too.

Finally, best card.

HemiPoweredDrone6 votes

I feel like this would be the most informative and engaging, as it should hopefully give us more insight into the inner workings of Riot and their many rituals.

WE WILL FIND YOUR SECRETS

Anyway, blue isn't all bad, it does the most damage so when you don't need the CC blue can be effective. Also mana is fun.

Sorry I have to vote mana card. All other cards are useless.

In for this one.

A team in a certain department or reps from different teams? I'd love to hear from Game Design team and the Video Production department.

Or just all the Rioters. We'll have a Zilean of them.

I'd love to hear from one of the art teams at Riot! :)

You guys, I felt the same way as you, BUT CONSIDER!!

Asking a team of Rioters OR a single well-known Rioter is the same thing! If well-known means we get in touch with Morello, Ironstylus, Zileas or others, then we get the lowdown on an entire department. The only difference is that for a team of Rioters, most of us will not be addressing them individually. Because our questions will be divided among a team, our questions will tend to be more broad and less specific. The lack of organization means they will be stuck answering a lot of the same questions we've heard from Q&As in the past! We need to focus all our attention on one Rioter to bring out information we've never heard before!

BLUE DOOR IS A TOTAL BORE, DON'T TAKE IT, NOT EVEN TO FAKE IT!

Fanghelsing2 votes

Have to go with the blue door, would love to hear from the audio or the animation team

Sharjo2 votes

Definetly blue door. Getting information from a bunch of Rioters who've all worked together is more valuable to me personally than the other two options. It's the reason I like the AMAs that come out when new champions arrive, a bunch of perspectives and some cool insights.

BLUE DOOR!

Siachi3 votes

Assuming I have this whole decoding thing right (I probably don't), what I got out of this was "NA LCS Midlane".

Cadenza Stellare2 votes

If I am not mistaken, this is the translation : "NA LCS MIDLANE"

So, TSM Bjergsen, C9 Hai, CLG Link, EG Pobelter, COL Pr0lly, CRS Voyboy, d Shiphtur, or LMQ Xiaoweixiao.

Tamat5 votes

In the spirit of experimentation, for this one, not all, we'll do all three AMAs if the main thread reaches 500 votes. It's at 12 right now, and there's less than 24 hours left, so spread the word! :)

Edit: Bummer. Maybe next time!

FatedTitan3 votes

I would really like a Blue Card where the VU team will give us hot and colds on Champ Updates.

Still frustrated that it was told Gangplank was "HOT" on the Champ Update list for a new E and possibly a new Passive with it being worked on then. That was February and haven't heard anything since.

We did it this way so you could change your vote before the deadline is up!

Draske2 votes

A well-known rioter: No cause it'll probably be a shout caster and we hear them all the time lol. Plus if its Phreak just Q&A him on stream xD. A Pro Player in LCS: No cause they are interviewed after games. A Team of Rioters that work on League of Legends: Yes, because we could see the behind the scenes of LoL and ask questions on how certain aspects of the game are made!

When will there be a Volibear skin that doesn't just change his armor!! i want something creative!!!

Volibear is one of my favorite champs. I also cant wait for the type of skins we will create as a team in the future for "da Bears". But your opinion has been noted fellow Bears fan!

Cerbearus1 votes

So are you counting the amount of comments on each door or how high it gets in votes?

RiotOldManYelling6 votes

I believe it's votes. I was told it was votes. It could be references to obscure pop culture bromides though. I suppose that's possible.

MackleDoge1 votes

It should be references to obscure pop culture bromides. Would certainly make this thread a uh...."interesting" read?

RiotOldManYelling2 votes

Possibly my favorite thing about the phrase "pop culture-laden bromides" is that it is, itself, a metatextual pop culture-laden bromide.

Desiderium1 votes

Since Zed's only new skin was not only limited edition, but also had barely any new effects, can we expect a new one some time this year?
