Black Market Brawlers Q&A August 4

Curious if any of the new items will be staying or making their way into normals (with nerfs/reworks ofcourse)

Hello

Who else wants to know when patch 5.15 is coming out and when Mr. Yar Har is coming back?

The one thing I don't like about the event is how many games you have to play for the final icon; I mean, people are surrendering left and right and make it really hard to fulfill the objectives...

#FreeTrick

Why did you remove Morellonomicon? Without a reliable source of access to Grievous Wounds champions like Mundo are basically unkillable. Seems weird to remove something that is so reliant on keeping some characters in check.

could Butcher's Bridge become an optional map for Aram? like maybe there could be a 50/50 chance that Butcher's Bridge would show up instead of Frozen Abyss

How about why you screwed up a perfectly good event by putting crap on SR? ARAM is where all the fun was at, and you had to ruin it.

Are you going to bring back the items that were worth buying cough cough teleport boots

So a couple of questions: 1: The brawlers, are they just new minions? Or are they actual creatures that you can see anywhere that were hired? 2: Why did you decide on making 4 brawlers for a 5v5 game mode? I'm sure most people were thinking along the lines of 5 brawlers, so that everyone on a team could decide who to get, without having duplicates. 3: Are the new Items planning to stay behind, or where they lost at sea? 4: Since two new shops were made, why not add a small effect to the spawns/shops? Such as a second shop in each spawn, where a shady looking rat or something sells the black market items. 5: OMG THE MINIONS LOOK SO ADORABLE AS THEY TEAR MY FACE OFF- sorry cough don't know what came into me there. 6: So when you destroy an inhiboter, all of the minions become bigger, instead of spawning super minions. What stats actually change when they get bigger? Is it just health, just cosmetics, everything? 7: What actually ARE krakens? I understand that they are some form of currency, but the way it seems is that they're strictly used for mercenaries. Meaning when I buy that Iron back brawler, what the heck does he do with that money, if all he can do is hire a different mercenary? 8: Before (SPOILER ALERT) GP dies, it was commonly said that he was the king of bilgwater, and that no matter who you were or how powerful you'r gang was, you respected and feared GP. Strictly saying, why do the brawlers still charge GP for them to work for him? Shouldn't it be about loyalty and devotion and bla bla bla? 9: Not exactly having to do with the event, but I'm a little confused about the League geography, would you mind briefly explaining it, or at least linking me to a forum or something that explains it?

What from the event can we possibly see down the road as permanent if anything??

Minion skins or map skins??

Could we keep this as a mode its much more balanced then other fun modes and it has strategy to the mode. Especially with the ability to change the minions(!OMG FINALLY!) it makes it where you can change the game to fit your style or build a comp around. Also the new items are healthy too they're not overpowered and they really make the game more different. Last its also a mode that can help for practicing for a champ cuz with this mode i haven't done a regular summoners rift mode that isn't ranked. Please riot this is a fun mode to play, and i know ill get hate for this but unlike URF thats usually one sided and seems to always go to the champions that benefiet the most from CDR, just offers fun play for all champs. P.S Do it for the brawlers please anything just for the brawlers

What were you trying to do with items like the Trickster Glass or the Staff of Flowing water? What were your goals with the items exactly outside of making them comparatively better than most of the normal items.
Bonus Question: what was your Favorite item to use? Mine was the trickster glass cause most people just act surprised when all of a sudden there's two of them

for the love of poros...

make the image clone one for normals and arams!

it isnt abusive and would add more fun to game(and if used in brush on low hp ally you can save their lives by cloning them and running away to distract enemy.)

Were the brawler minions made specifically for the event only, or did their species exist before hand in Bilgewater?

Also, are the black market items a trail mix of failed item ideas or were those made on the spot as well?

so when do i get the booty?

how will we get the captain gangplank if he's dead ? we cant play him

So where is the Q&A?

are any of the bilge water maps gonna stay curious?

are we going to be seeing anymore of these city-state themed game modes in the future? A frejord one would be awesomeee

I was wondering if you are going to be incorporating that kills instantly. It'd be a nice addition to the game.

I was curious if the Butcher's Bridge is staying with us. It'd be nice as a second option even for ARAM.

riot please help me ....someone hacked my account and changed my summoner name to (six my mother) and the old summoner name TheAvengerII help me to change this new summoner to the old one ...thank you

So will Black Market Brawlers stay around or will it be chum for an annual slot like other events?

Please fix the way Arcade Miss Fortune is holding her guns, it looks a lot less cooler now since it's much less visible to see it's NES zappers :(

Which ideas tried out do you guys think were successful?

swag that is all
