Props to Riot for the Tribunal Update by GamepadDojoin leagueoflegends

[–]statuskwoh 4 points5 points ago

We definitely listen. Lyte has been trying to take a very active approach to talking with you guys on the main forums, and I'm pretty constantly lurking here in Reddit. :)

We definitely want to work on the feedback of the Tribunal for everyone involved. We haven't finalized exactly what we want to do, but this is definitely on our list of "DO THIS."

Hrmmm.. Games should not persist for that long. If you guys run across things like that, feel free to ping me with a screenshot and we'll take a look at what's going on.

The actual quote is below - its not that we have the position that it isn't worth doing at the moment. It's that we need to investigate how prevalent the problem is before we focus people on that problem. If it looks like there is a bunch of opportunity there, we'll absolutely do it. There some complication to it for a variety of reasons and there are a billion things we want to do.

See complex prioritization matrix of effect it will have for you guys and time it takes for us to get it in across a backlog of crazy number of items. :D

Welcome to the fold. Prepare to be trolled. I mean greeted with pleasantry and politeness.

My Moment of LoL fame - Thanks to spectator mode by Kiezin leagueoflegends

[–]statuskwoh 49 points50 points ago

My hypothesis, especially for someone of your caliber, is that they would. I think people tune into well known teams partially because they follow that team, but more often because its seen as a "guarantee" that the game will be great to watch.

If more commentators start solidifying their reputation within the community of finding and casting great games. Or making almost any game great to watch by virtue of their commentating, insight, and entertainment value, then I think it matters less whether you can find a game with known teams and instead it'll be more important to find Deman casting something to watch.

Just a hypothesis though. I'm interested to see how trends in streaming shake out. I'm still waiting for a shoutcaster streamer to really break out and figure out their "voice" by regularly streaming games they shoutcast.

I was advocating for "Hey! Listen!" but got stabbed repeatedly in response.

He never responds to me. He just walks by occasionally and gives me a disappointed look.

Am I the only one with this spectator mode glitch? How should I go about fixing it? by vGoNebulousin leagueoflegends

[–]statuskwoh 1 point2 points ago

Does this happen every time? Or just sometimes? We are looking into this but still need to nail down repro. Let us know how you were getting in to watch the game (drop-in, featured, lobby) and how far into the game, etc.

If you want to grab your game r3d logs and send them to me for the games where this happens that will help too.

A request of Dan Dihn during the TSM EU stream: Turn off directed camera during fights by Notmiefaultin leagueoflegends

[–]statuskwoh 36 points37 points ago

We noticed a bug in directed camera after release that we believe is responsible for a lot of the awkward cut-aways and missing kills. Should be fixed in next patch along with some more nice tweaks.

That said, I don't expect DC to ever replace experienced "cameramen" but is a nice tool for people just practicing the commentating side of things or for that hands off watching experience.

Free to play champs will be made unavailable in Ranked! by mortiphagoin leagueoflegends

[–]statuskwoh 9 points10 points ago

We are looking to address multiple pain points and not just make this one change and consider ourselves done. We have a large number of issues we're gathering data on and trying to address. AFK detection in champ select is something we're addressing as is some of the low-hanging mechanisms for troll picks (random button).

And we'll be continuing to monitor all of this stuff and continue to make small and large changes to try and make the overall experience better. If a change we make doesn't have the effect we want, we'll remove the change and take another approach.

Free to play champs will be made unavailable in Ranked! by mortiphagoin leagueoflegends

[–]statuskwoh 0 points1 point ago

The data we're looking at has the same noise throughout the entire system. We believe this change will address some of that noise. If the data from this change comes back and it looks like this is a solution for some bands of elo but not others, then we can look at modifying this change to only affect the bands where it has the greatest effect.

Free to play champs will be made unavailable in Ranked! by mortiphagoin leagueoflegends

[–]statuskwoh 3 points4 points ago

Trading problems is absolutely something that we are keeping an eye on. And something that I feel like our game can do better enabling in general. If this change has a great effect on the quality of the matches we make in the system, then we'll look at rolling out changes that address this specific cost we have to pay to get that.

If the change doesn't have the effect we need to see to offset the higher barrier to ranked and the more complications with trades, then we'll change what we're doing and try a different solution.

[–]statuskwoh 31 points32 points ago

I believe Lyte mentions this in his post linked by the OP: Yes, we are looking at more robust afk detection and how that is handled. I'm not 100% sure on where this is in terms of getting out to you guys, but I know we had identified a couple small changes to make this better and were working on implementing them.

Spectator GUI scaling too high in Twisted Treeline by juliasbaerin leagueoflegends

[–]statuskwoh 5 points6 points ago

Hrmmm.... odd. Don't think this is intended. I'll have the team look into this - can give me a picture as I don't think we've been seeing this internally?

Free to play champs will be made unavailable in Ranked! by mortiphagoin leagueoflegends

[–]statuskwoh 194 points195 points ago

With the player behavior team that Lyte and I are on, what we're doing is working to understand the problem by testing hypotheses with small changes and then monitoring the effect on the problem. This change absolutely has trade-offs, and fewer people will be able to play ranked the day after this change than the day before. However, we think it will also help isolate some noise in our matchmaker and will make it so you guys have better match-ups in ranked solo/duo queue.

We'll be tightly monitoring these changes (like we are doing with the cross-team chat change) and if things don't pan out, we'll absolutely re-visit and try a different solution.

Another change we're going to be making is removing the random champion button from ranked play.

PSA: The new Featured Games section of the client is eating your CPU cycles by psoplayerin leagueoflegends

[–]statuskwoh 94 points95 points ago

Thanks for this guys. I'm having the team look into it. Since there are lots of active animations, it will consume more CPU than it used to, but 50%+ is way more than it should be. We'll see if we can get this down.

If we have more questions, I might hit you up here.

Having a problem regarding spectator mode by JorgenKronain leagueoflegends

[–]statuskwoh 0 points1 point ago

This can actually happen to you as a player as well. We've been trying to track it down for awhile. Last I heard we thought it might have to do with changing the windows focus right as the game loads up, but we weren't sure.

Alt-Enter twice is the fastest way to resolve right now. But we are looking into this bug.

Dear Riot, Please can we see runes in spectator mode? by munchkinatorin leagueoflegends

[–]statuskwoh 24 points25 points ago

No ETA. I am acknowledging that this is definitely something on our list of "want to do" but that is about all I can commit to right now. Sorry. :(

We're definitely taking all the feedback and considering it. I don't want to promise anything at this point (mostly because we're still decompressing from the release build-up), but the team is definitely very passionate about the feature and making it awesome for you guys. :)
