senior game designer at Riot Games on Legends of Runeterra | he/him | 50% WR against PVDDR
my original OOT experience was printing out 30 pages of GameFaqs before starting and then getting too scared of Gohma to continue
Eric Shen made a post about this but not on bluesky so I'll paraphrase it here too: we've seen some of this convo and want to reiterate that we've got plenty in the works! both regular monthly content and a little extra before end of the year. the team will share more when we're ready!
Borja@borjapertega.bsky.social · 2mo ago@bkop.me Sorry to bother you and I know that you can probably say nothing but, if you can, ¿Is LOR safe? I ask this because of this that has been everywhere online sice some hours. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.
hecarim PoC spoilers are up! and yes, that is lillia's 6*. we tried several options and eventually agreed that lillia just pre-sniped the perfect hecarim power. this isn't a design philosophy change and ideally all of our 6*s are unique and special, but this one was just too fun
"next time I will test more before complaining" this player is going to heaven
@hitotsufel.bsky.social · 5mo agoHello again! So, I've played a few times with the new GA. It's become a wonderful addition to Stone Strength builds, making runs more consistent and safe, as well as providing good survivability to the champions. In the next time I will test more before complaining.
some zoe facts: - the 1* items are truly random, though 7+ cost have a higher chance of rare/epic. the 3* guarantees at least 1 rare/epic for 4+ cost, at least 1 epic for 7+ cost. Silver Sister always gets an in-play item - her 4* is not in the pool (you prob guessed this but i'll confirm) 🧵

my friends are my friends are fostering new pets opening booster packs 🤝 "post pulls"
the thing i didn't realize about becoming a card game designer is that every internal "for fun" TCG event i join would be sweaty. they plucked my timmy/johnny ass out of a 6 player commander pod and now i'm in a rotisserie draft with pro tour players and ex-wotc devs
magic made a card named Skateboard and, despite both being legal mechanics, it's neither kicked nor flipped. smh
because live games don't really do credits, my first industry credit in 12 years is for Riftbound lol forever living under the shadow of The Cooler Brian K Card Gamer though
anytime i see game rankings i think about that tweet where someone posted a numbered list of the star wars movies in chronological order and people went apeshit in the replies (www.pcgamer.com/games/the-to...)

while they are cursed, we do want them in the game eventually, so question for my player followers: do you feel its more important that the conditional stays the same difficulty/play pattern, or that the output is an instant win? some options below
Brian Kopleck@bkop.me · last yr.each time we pick out future champs for path, we occasionally succumb to considering the "cursed" champs: ryze, fiora, katarina they have alt win cons or go trivially infinite with relics so they'll take much more effort than other champions, but that's also what makes them so alluring

signal boosting from the official LoR twitter: "Hey folks! Glory Store prices are currently incorrect. Please hold off on spending in the Glory Store until we can send through a fix. We will notify y’all once this comes through!"
i should put Freestyle Solo and Aid a Spirit in the adventure pools, pretty happy with how they turned out
added a comment about how the Glory Store tuning error happened, for those curious www.reddit.com/r/LegendsOfR...

signal boosting some info i shared in the LoR discord: - it's not possible to collect more of one rune than there are champs of that region - rune explainer article is coming soon - glory store isn't the only/main source of runic vessels this event - there are 15 glory tiers, so 900 max glory/month
we saw a very cute borzoi at the coffee shop today and my wife and i said "beautiful dog" at the same time, except she was saying it to the owner and i was 100% saying it directly to the dog
