Personally ive been around since Khazix has and i have never felt a better insight into riot itself besides the patch rundowns which dont really give us all that much detail besides explaining patch notes. this needs to happen more in my opinion

How did much did you guys plan this? Now one saw the Shen update coming (and you guys came out with this the next day) and you guys didn't censor anything like with the poppy update. Should we expect a second riot scruffy interview when taRic comes out?

As super uninteresting this dumb podcast is I now have to wait for 30 minutes because in Queues my screen turns blurred and now I'm sitting here bored out of my damn mind because you guys manage to fuck up every patch, Thanks Rito. Now I know why Dunkey quit.

If this much thought was put into remaking Shen I would love to hear the thought process behind Jhin in the next one. Also for a new podcast I think the host is doing an excellent job keeping things interesting and the topics fresh. Been loving the casts since Episode 1.

I absolutely love these podcasts. I've always wondered about riot's design process and these give amazing insight. Please keep making them! :D

The fact that there has been 3 comments and 1 good response tells me these aren't too popular..

These podcasts are great; They are incredibly informative of the community and aspects outside of the in game play that everyone sees. I don't understand why all these comments are mostly negative when we should be thanking the creators and the guests for taking time out of their own lives to make an informatively fun podcast (without pay I assume). Thanks, Viktor 's (Creators :P)!

is shen going to reach behind him and grab the sword on his back that is the spirit sword when he goes to manipulate it? or am i confused about that, the smaller fancy sword is the "spirit sword" right?

So since you nerfed Shen's Q, and buffed his E to scale with HP, does that mean maxing E is the way to go now? Intended?

I'm thinking about doing Graphic Design/Game Design, but I don't make much money and I haven't yet finished my pre-requisites. How would I be able to be a game designer, if I even can?
