"If Anivia were to cry, would she get free Tears of the Goddess?"
It feels, by definition, yes?
I thought this was going to be one of those weird egg questions.
There are no eggs in Runeterra.
I actually want to go in the other direction.
Every champion except for Xayah lays eggs.
"Do you have a particular fetish for birds? Because there are a lot of bird champs."
Yes.
We're still looking at like a peacock.
If you can think of any birds that we're just missing that you really want
let me know because we always have room for more bird champions in our roster.
"Miss Riot, I'd like a skin of a farmer on a tractor please."
Why?
Why would you want that?
And am I Miss Riot?
Feel like I need a banner.
"Why is the jungle more like a forest than a jungle?"
I think jungle is just more fun to say.
You're also traversing it.
You can traverse a forest?
You can traverse a forest.
"Why aren't there any items that are pants?"
One of our narrative pillars in League of Legends is that
there are no pants in Runeterra.
It's canon, I think.
"Why don't you make more Ahri skins?"
Ahri's a really lovely champion, we can't stop thinking up cool ideas for her
so we're actually holding back.
So that's the real answer, we haven't made as many as we'd like to
so, you're welcome.
"Why do I play with new players on my team all the time?"
Because we think you're a lovely charming individual who can give
new players a great experience in League of Legends.
Or because that's about how well you play.
It could go either way.
"When will Yasuo be deleted?"
Yasuo will be never deleted, you probably play him.
"Hello, why is Nunu's new name Nunu & Willump?
What about Quinn and Valor? Sejuani and Bristle?"
When you talk about Sejuani or Kled, it feels like the main champion is Kled,
or the main champion is Quinn.
With Nunu & Willump, we really wanted to say these are two friends
that are equal in parts and neither one of them are more important as a champion.
"Will you do a crossover that has two skin lines together
like Project and Star Guardian?"
I literally pitched that this year.
Not a skin line but like a versus event where those two would come head to head.
So really good idea, whoever sent that one.
"Will next season be full of reworks or new champs?"
We went pretty heavy on reworks this year as we wanted to catch up.
Because we felt like we had a large list of champions
that needed VGUs pretty badly.
We feel like next year we want to go back to more of an even 50/50 split
like we did the year before so that's what you can expect from next year.
"Can you reach a point where balancing is no longer necessary
because everything is perfectly balanced?"
I think in theory you can probably reach a point of perfect balance?
You know, one of those abstract hypotheticals.
I don't think we'll ever get to that state.
Even if we stopped introducing anything new or make any major changes,
we'd still just constantly see stuff being discovered for years to come.
"Please will you do a visual rework for Mordekaiser? He still has pizza feet."
Yes.
But we've identified that one of his core traits is pizza feet,
so when we do rework him, we're probably going to keep his pizza feet.
Because we don't want to take something so iconic away from Mordekaiser.
"Have you ever thought about balancing the game around Ryze
so you don't have to keep reworking him?"
No.
"Can I please have some skins?
I was told by a friend that you are giving out skins."
If you, the person that wrote this question,
can prove it's you, I will give you a skin.
"We know the poros have a king, but do they have a parliament?"
I think they're kind of a in a pre- parliament monarchy phase?
At some point we'll probably see some sort of poro uprising
overthrowing the noble class, bit of guillotining.
It'll be pretty horrible, but also really cute.
"Where in Runeterra would you go on vacation?"
Oh that's a--I like that question!
For me personally, I love ancient history and monuments and that sort of thing,
so it's gotta be Shurima.
Bandle City, for sure.
Actually that's really good.
Yeah, it would be just crazy.
Every yordle would be just trying really hard to do their job
but it would just--they would take it too far.
I think I'd go to Bilgewater.
I don't wanna go to anywhere too grim, dark or depressing
I think that's like the music I listen to
but I don't think that's where I'd want to go on vacation.
I definitely don't want to go to Zaun even though I kind of like the aesthetic.
It just feels like that's full of champions that will probably murder me horribly.
But you know Bandle City seems like a chill place.
"Dear Riot Games,
I've been having sleepless nights wondering why your company is called Riot Games
Games is a plural form
which was confirmed by my English teacher.
Why isn't games singular? Because you can only make one game.
Can you please enlighten me?
Are you going to release a new game in the future?
Sincerely, a concerned summoner."
Well, if you didn't know, we released a board game.
We made Blitz Poro Roundup.
Are we going to make any larger other games someday?
Mystery.
Yes!
