Hello Ghostcrawler as an Urgot main I'm dying to know is there anything you can tell us about the upcoming Urgot rework? Can we expect it released in June? Is the rumor of a new champion in 7.12 true?

Adding onto this -- will he have a light and dark form? (https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/2t2y96/2017_urgot_rework_is_released/)

I actually really want a light/dark form skin for urgot to pay tribute to that amazing post. I mean if the leak is real Urgot will have 2 forms with his W so it's possible

Why are you guys still using Caffine as a media broadcasting platform?

Without a playback feature, the value of using a video drastically reduces as a chunk of the population won't be able to see this Q&A as they can't fit it in their schedule.

It is quite curious. It seems to be very limited to what can view it in the first place as well, as I cannot even get to the site, it telling me I must use Firefox/Chrome (not happening). I typically check these things out of curiosity for information but it seems I will have to wait for someone else like Surrender@20 to spell out everything that is discussed.

I use Microsoft Edge, and Caffeine doesn't even support my browser, which is frustrating. I wish the streams were broadcasted on Twitch like they used to be, Twitch works fine on Microsoft Edge.

Yo, Ghostcrawler. I am kinda curious generally what qualifies skins for chromas, and if there is a possibility to let the community decide what skins can get it next. Sorry I just really want a chroma for my elderwood bard skin T^T

Also bards chime timer needs to have an orange middle mark instead of yellow to red

Hi, Ghostcrawler. The marksmen now are sucking in killing tanks because the previous last whisper nerf. In past seasons it has 35% total armor penetration but now it only has 35% bonus armor penetration! Could Riot please do some favor for bot lane?

If ADC got last whisper buff its all over. Im an ad main, and I can admit we are in a good spot right now. If you want tank shred there are options, but if not there are options for pure damage as well. With bork being as strong as it is, changing last whisper back to 35% total, or even 45% bonus would be insanely strong on champs who don't have to build crit early, like Kalista, or even Lucian.

The problem is, for most attack damage carry, like Cait, Jinx, Jhin, their best itemset are critical strikes items. That means. they can only save a single box for armor penetration item(usually for the last whisper). Right now, Riot keeps nerfing BC to ground in order to avoid every ad champion buying it. The bonus armor penetration also sucks as most of the tanks have about 100 basic armor in late game and they usually just spend one or two boxes for additional armor items. Against a tank with 200 armor totally in the late game(100 base armor, 100 bonus), the last whisper can only penetrate 35 armor and the tank still has 165 armor left. not even mentioning Riot is also trying to nerf BOTRK onto the ground. "ADC in 2017" as a meme never leave us.

Why doesn't Graves have his cigar in the client, or on his icon? Why does it only show up in the loading screen?

Hello Ghostcrawler! Does Riot have any plans to make League more appealing for new players? New tutorials? New guides? I always have a rough time introducing the game to my friends because it seems like they hop in, then because of the learning curve, give up before they hit lvl 10.

So a new set of "leaks" was recently posted, any comments on their validity after the fiasco that was the previous leaks. I'm hoping they fake because Arcade Yorick sounds super disappointing

Are you going to ruin league like you did WoW?

nate00108May 25, 20171 votes

Is there a support rework in the foreseeable future?

Hi Ghostcrawler. The rework on GA makes the assassins really hard to kill adcs since it is now the 3rd of 4th build on adcs. And it is hard for assassins to make the choice between killing mid lane which maybe has a zhonyas or to kill the adc with a GA. At the same time, assassins can choose GA as a 3rd or even 2nd build, which makes the tower dive for them way too ez. Also looking in to the further team fights, The adc has to make the choice between killing either assassin which has a GA, or kill the tanks. Killing the assassin makes a chance for the tanks to go in and killing the tanks is basically just killing adc himself. Also the nerf on last whisper items makes it extremely hard to kill the tanks unless its vayne like champions. So can riot please please, nerf GA by its amount of health given after the active of its passive or any other ways you guys can think about?
