Do you have any advice on ranked anxiety?

Aechro’s Profile PhotoAero
I had ranked anxiety, and the best advice I can give is to just dive in. It's no different than a normal game. I usually turn off all chat, and sometimes team chat, if it gets to a point where it's tilting me. Play champions you're comfortable on, and be sure that you can play several champions in the roles you select.

Meddler noted on the board to look into Grey Warwick's availability 'because it's cool now' (and it was only obtainable through Refer-A-Friend). What about Medieval Twitch then? It's a BADASS skin ever since the VU, and also unobtainable. I've asked Rioters before about it, got nothing...

Toon Van Hecke
Yup, he did! At this time, there aren't plans to change the status/availability of Twitch's skin.

Did video games had an effect on your attention span?

I don't really think so. I've never had an issue with my attention span. If anything, video games has helped to preserve my attention span.

Don't know if you're the correct person for this 1. Why has Janna's taunt (butt-slap) been changed? 2. Why has some emote-spam been removed? :o

I'm actually not sure on either of them (my team wouldn't handle these issues), but if I had to guess for Janna, it's because it wasn't super appropriate.

Do Rioters frequently read posts from Reddit?

Yup! For my team specifically, it helps with bugs, both in the mega thread and front page posts. I personally don't comment much because things tend to get off-topic, but I lurk!

I am aware he exists on a unique skin line, but do you think Cosmic Reaver Kassadin is out there too in his separate reality destroying galaxies and seeking to end the universe, just like the Dark Stars?

I don't think he's nearly as cynical as someone like Thresh or Varus. :) I'd like to see the Cosmic Reaver skin line built out a bit more, so we can explore it and really get a feel for what that line is all about thematically, not just visually!

What event(-s) would you like to attend in 2017?

PAX East would be cool, just to visit home again. If Summoner's Con is a thing again, that'd be cool, too!

When a skin is really early in development (before PBE and all that) What is your job as a QA analyst during that point of development?

We're primarily advisers. We five feedback on the concepts, and WIP content. We'll bring up any colorblind concerns, gameplay concerns, readability concerns, etc. We'll also get some early testing done as things become ready, and then once everything is put together (by the time it's on PBE), we'll do a full sweep of all of the components to ensure the skin is working properly.

In the DS dev blog, Thresh is reintroduced as someone who can destroy the universe. The LoL universe though also has many featured dimensions; the Void is good example, that he too has many special interactions with. Do you think the term universe and multiverse can be used interchangeably for them?

RiotJaredan may be a better person to ask. :) I wouldn't want to give you the incorrect information. Scott works more closely with our narrative folks and has a bit more insight into our lore.

Merry Christmas Kate from Australia! (It's the 26th here though :P). Also some feedback on Snowdown event: Some people celebrate Christmas on the 7th of January because they are Orthodox, it really sucks to see Snowdown end before the 7th of January since I celebrate it on the 7th aswell.

Hiya! This year, the event goes until the 9th of January. The Snowdown event itself isn't related to any holiday in particular. But, it's always good knowledge to keep in mind. :)

Hi, can I show you my Pop Vinyl collection? I have no one to show it to :( (P.S. it has some Star Wars ones so you can say no if you want I won't get sad)

You could upload it to Twitter and tag me.

Hi. What's your favourite idea for Zyra skin which is possible? I think Zyra really deserve new skin. I'd love to see a legendary one like Snow Queen, Void or Project. It would be amazing! What do you think about? I love Zyra and I hope you will surprise me soon!

Personally, I think a four seasons Zyra skin would be cool, but it'd likely be an ultimate skin due to the tech needing to be built out, so the likeliness of that happening over other thematics is fairly slim.

Any advice on internships for someone with no experience in their field?

Experience isn't always needed. I believe on the internship website, it says something about showing what you know. So, if you learned how to code in your spare time and can prove it/talk about it, that's the same to us in a lot of cases as having a college degree. We have some people who don't have a college degree, but are wizards when it comes to their craft.

How do you guys decide what champions get new skins? I see some new champions get skins really quick while others (like poor ol' Jhin) haven't gotten any.

This varies - we have a few ways in which we do things. We ideate several ways. We have an event, and look for champions that would fit. For example, Lunar Revel. This year, it was year of the rooster, so we felt Azir was someone who fit the thematic really well. In other instances, we're looking to ideate on a particular champion. We did an ideation of Fizz a while back, and we threw out ideas, and Cottontail Fizz stuck. TL;DR, we focus around events, themes, or a particular champion. We do keep tabs on champions in need of skins, but not all are eligible, due to champion updates.

If riot announced tomorrow that Nami is being reworked and you were the main designer what would you change in her kit?

Yikes. I really like how her kit is right now. If something had to be changed (and I'm not on the balance team, so I'd probably ruin her), I'd remove the extra move speed on her abilities.

Hey! What is your favorite Elementalist Lux form? Mine is Ice because Winter is Coming *^*

I'm a big fan of Nature. :)

Do you remember the movie V For Vendetta. His love for roses and theatrics reminds me of Jhin. Throwing this out there, a Vendetta Jhin skin! Is this possible?

Maybe not a 1:1, as we want to create things that are more unique and in line with the League of Legends/Runeterra lore. That said, we are inspired by other work (art, movies, shows, etc.), and base some content off of it! For example, the Super Galaxy line is based off of several mech-themed anime. :)

"Most skin lines don't have lore attached to them! " I remember someone (Kindlejack?) talking about the Slaughter Fleet line and the Program line and explaining the stories behind. Are this lines the exception instead of the rule?

Symon D. Burst
For some, sure, which is why I said most. ^-^ Slaughter Fleet was part of an event, and there was a bunch of lore behind it. Something like Pool Party doesn't have lore behind it at all!
