We've recently made some improvements on our data pipeline (work on that front is still ongoing), which will enable us to detect bots sooner. I'm striving toward a model that would only require a few games to be confident enough that an account is worthy of a ban for botting, and we'll need to monitor this as botters adapts.
On the captcha idea, this is something that's commonly brought up, but is not an idea we're entertaining at the moment. For one, we have a captcha on account creation and we still see botting on new accounts (i.e. we know there are ways around captcha). Secondly, as a human it's really annoying to have to put in captcha codes. Bots make up a very small percentage of all players, so by implementing a captcha in order to queue up for a match (which we know bots can circumvent), we're likely just causing annoyance for human players. That's not to say we couldn't put in some logic to only present a different challenge to suspected bots using certain criteria, which is why we haven't dismissed that idea completely.
So this hasn't gotten any better.
Like really, have we been to treeline lately? Don't answer that but still...

Zilean got fixed, all the damage on one skill isn't necessarily a dealbreaker. That said, the cooldown could be a bit higher or the flight time a bit slower on her Q, and her bubble being a trap is OP AF.
But you were playing EZRAEL man.
{{champion:81}} HI I'm Ezrael, the whole point of me is that I'm a GLASS CANNON who thrives on winning ranged matchups!

Better yet, the ENTIRE JOB of weeding out which players are flaming and being racist could pretty much be done automatically by existing (MINIMUM OF) 30 year old code with no human input except reports of the wordfilters being circumvented. I had an IRC where if someone wrote out a slur, the system would detect it and generate an instant warning, then an instant ban, without letting them post! This shouldn't be hard!
Imagine it, your support tries to type "GG bot's a [pick a slur]" and instead they say absolutely nothing! That way the ENTIRE STAFF of riot's game moderators could be put to the task of detecting and banning the other kinds of troll.

Because ADC's who can't lasthit cry? IDC build a metric ton of damage, if the patch notes are any indicator riot already hates her. If you can peel 90% of the health off the carry DO IT.

Buying Runes Between Now and Preseason
A lot of people paid the real world money to finish the colossal grind progression that getting all of the rune pages takes, and a lot of people went through the friggin years of grinding it took to get all of those pages and have optimal runes for their champs, I'm not against making that level of customization free but if you're going to make extra rune pages that can be edited in champ select then you should find a better way to repay the people who paid full price for your game.

I doubt that it'll permanently kill them, but I bet it will make for some interesting early/late rune builds. I could see players typically using the secondary rune path to offset that difference by picking an OP early game one

I wish they were rare, but they're far from. It seems like a weighted scale, the closer to a promo game, the more likely there is going to be a jinx that runs to lane, kills two waves, bases, and goes to the mall.

Punishing the other 4 players for one afk remains the most frustrating policy at Riot games.
|
|||||
![]()
Isn't that simple to fix by equally applying the penalty over groups when one afk's? I mean, this is literally the main point of frustration with a lot of players, it certainly inspires me to spend hours at a time playing kerbal space program instead of league because after a few games in a row of this crap the frustration threshold kicks in. 4v5 games have a statistically impossible winrate, and happen too often even with the 3m leaver surrender

Future plans for the client
*sigh*
"and we've seen no widespread technical problems after the launch"
Your humor is subtle riot. For the first time since about 2006 a game broke my OS, except it wasn't a game, it was a glorified menu to get into a game.
The way I've kept playing your game is by literally creating a League of Legends partition and dedicated OS, with a dedicated backup, so that when, not if, your client does that again it'll be easy to just format the partition, paste and patch, and it's still crashing about once a day on a fully clean and dedicated partition that just has League, and Windows.
I just hope you're pulling 12 hour shifts on this
|

Yeah, and while they keep fuckin up the community's going to keep asking them to correct their mistakes instead of punishing players for programming mistakes

Is your Updated Client not working? You've come to the right place!
Low spec mode problem
I do have the "close client during game" option checked.
The game just ran for about 10m total, at 3m I started having FPS drop like a process was eating up CPU, and at 10m I simultaneously began having lag and FPS drop.
Then the "closed" client crashed, followed by League crashing, followed by my league folder being corrupted and my computer displaying a warning that my hard drive has been corrupted.
RIP old client

Like I said, can't talk specifics. Work is being done on chat stuff. And we've heard the feedback about the need for changes and improvements to clubs.
So if you heard our feedback that chat rooms are important to us, that clubs don't work, and that it's an isolating thing to the community of people with more than 20 friends...
Why not ship the feature? Why send it out 50% when you usually push for 110%

You're what scientists and philosophers call "really friggin lucky" if that's how it's running for you.
Cutting the legacy client does mean they don't have to split their resources, cool, if it was ready I wouldn't argue with you, but anything capable of knocking my operating system offline from a simple menu, without even starting the game (the thing that ought to be the most complicated part of a league session) with it's bugs is SERIOUSLY not ready in terms of 2017 development standards.
Yes, we've made every part of this client "part of the lore" and speaking of graphic design I've never through the entire process of trying to get this to run decently on my box in the alpha and beta said it wasn't pretty. If pretty were the minimum standard of software engineering everybody would have loved this on drop. Here's the thing though, if how pretty a piece of software is detracts from it's ability to do it's very basic function it's a worse piece of software than an uglier version. It would be visually appealing if MS Word had a stylus that scribbled every letter for me, auditorily appealing if it made a pen on paper noise, and ultimately annoying and wasteful of resources. It would be pretty, and detract from my ability to write my resume.
This is pretty, and detracts from my ability to play League of Legends.

I'm still at the point where at the end of matchmaking I have to manually restart it, it's literally crashing when the match ends so that after every league game I have to start the client. I already know it's supposed to come back, but after ten minutes of nothing it's a moot point. It's busted.

After restart it works, but jeez if low-spec can crash the client to the point I have to power off my computer and restart it, my sentiment that this is alpha, and not release, level tech is kinda validated ain't it?

Low-Spec mode pretty much nixes all of the champ select animations that cause lag. We are thinking about ways we can improve it further but a lot of the more recent general performance fixes (that work for everybody and not just those using low spec mode) have had a really big impact. How's it working out for you on the latest patch?
Yes, but can you even initiate Low-Spec mode if the dialogue to initiate low-spec mode crashes the client?
Questions without good answers

Updated Client Switchover: Out with the Old, In with the New
Honestly, I've never seen backlash this strong from your community. It's going to be nice to try Rakan, but if I can't run the game my joy of this is going to be short lived at best. I'm impressed with the look and potential of your new client, but when I'm getting one frame per two seconds on your animations, and your pick ban quotes are liike "...at...iful..or..." -Thresh (In low spec, disabling as many cpu draining features as possible is how I get the best gameplay, always has been, always will be)
I really hope you're putting in 48 hour days trying to get this thing stable by the 24th, but I don't see how you can accomplish this even if you give up sleep as a concept and hire ten more people today.

Legacy Client Officially Retires April 24
There's a difference in quality, I've noticed, between free open source software and private development. Private developers tend to create artistic programs that look very good (and well done on that!) but are plagued with crash inducing bugs that the end users can't resolve.
The legacy client was doing a very good job at running without crashing. It may have looked a little dated, but for it's lack of style what it accomplished was function. It did and does all the things needed by players, where the new client does not.
What the new client accomplishes is jerky skipped frames that, if I cross my eyes and use my imagination I could see as animations, and garbled noises that are supposed to be pick/ban quotes. "wh.. ight..l ..ent ..ace" -Thresh
I'm running a system with an i7 processor, sure those didn't come out yesterday but they're still pretty dang high on the performance curve. I used to play league on a box that I built in 2006 with 4g of ram and a core2 duo and it ran. I would have no chance of playing the game now.
Part of the appeal of league has always been for me, and for many other people who frankly don't have a colossal amount of extra cash, that we could play this game on legacy machines and enjoy spending $10 on it once in a while. Those players are now going to have to find another game, or save the money they blow on RP until they can afford a high end gaming rig to play your game. Given the choice, I suspect many of them are going to go try something else, and this comments section more than confirms that.
Yes, that's nice for the *next* Riot games coming up, but I can't see where it's going to this community, company, or game, that we love so much any good.

Client Beta Update #3: Closer to Completion
I enjoyed the alpha/beta of the new client, but to be honest, I'm not really all that stoked to lose item sets (even knowing you're working super hard to roll them out along with the Aatrox rework and your plans to bring back Revive as a sum) and really especially not looking forward to summoner spells not being revealed while champions are hovered. Last pick surprise smite support might just become a thing, nobody wants that

That never works, never will.
On the other hand if we can come up with a better idea that would be great. I for one enjoy playing sup, but I can see where that's because I have more tolerance for bs than most. I'm just glad I'm not the one who has to figure out how to make playing support at least a little satisfying even with a flat out bad ADC

Because while some people will have a tantrum *every freaking time* the server crashes for the most part we're all here because we had a good time playing. Riot values criticism, but they're damn near immune to salt at this point and have a player base large enough that regardless of your exit from the game they're gonna be making money and filling stadiums.

Me: *watches PC jump up to 20% more than mac* Ahh there it goes
And bonus points that it's a work rig and not the computer you went out to get yourself. In the face of far less limited resources and bulk buys it's NBD to pay more money for it to have a pretty little apple on the side.
Most of us aren't justifying a gaming rig, most are justifying a discount rig. It's 2017, nearly none of us can afford a beefcake liquid cooled gaming rig.
