- How is LCS Best of 3's So far? (Week 2)
I know it's probably too early to tell but I've been working weekends lately so it's been hard to watch the LCS and catch up, even though I was excited about this season. How are people enjoying the changes? Bo3's seem like a positive change so far?
What about people from other regions? Have they had changes to their esports that seem positive or negative so far?

- Patch 14.13 Preview
Matt Leung-Harrison @RiotPhroxzon Patch 14.13!
Will chat about champions tomorrow.
Domination Keystone Pass
- This patch we're taking a swing at differentiating Electrocute and Dark Harvest, making Electrocute more of an early game focused rune and having Dark Harvest lean more into the stacking fantasy
- Simultaneously, there is a stretch goal to have Dark Harvest be better for laning champions by bringing the cooldown down so it can stack more quickly
- We're simultaneously changing several Dark Harvest users, so trying to be a bit more risk averse here
Opportunity
- Opportunity has become the default choice for many Pro ADC's particularly as the games are slower and they are more reliant on high impact, low frequency moments
- We think the gap between Opportunity and other Lethality items could be reduced some, so we are nerfing the item for Ranged champions, while leaving melee intact
Kalista/Varus
- Kalista Varus have been some of the stronger Pro champs for a while
- At the same time, we expect Ezreal to enter the meta in a big way in 14.12 (already seeing play in 14.11) and we haven't seen him for a while
- We are looking at some changes to Varus to make him a little less valuable in Pro while still retaining both of his builds in some capacity
- Right now, Lethality is clearly the best build though and we're looking to make on-hit more competitive
Other
- We're choosing to nerf several of the champions who buy Fated Ashes items, as we believe the items are in a reasonable spot.
- We're also trying to be a bit more cautious with these changes as surrounding systems like Domination keystones are changing and we can't rule out changing Fated Ashes at a later stage
Arena Overall, Arena balance feels like it is in a good spot, props to the team for diligent followup here. How has the experience been with 16 bans?
Our main focus with this set of changes was to audit any Arena specific buffs and nerfs to target satisfaction of abilities that are baseline weaker in the mode due to less champions or map traversal value, like Taliyah R, Kassadin E, etc.

- Riot devs say playerbase is getting older, with fewer newbies jumping in - PCGamerwww.pcgamer.com Senior Riot devs say the League of Legends playerbase is getting older, with fewer newbies jumping in: 'Candidly, it's not the same situation it was 10 years ago'
It's a common problem in long running live service games: how do you onboard new players into something this complex?

- Large Scripting Ban Wave
>Overwhelming majority of these bans displayed are for scripters, rather than botted accounts.
>Most of the leveling bots have been prevented since they were running in virtualized environments. We are keeping track of the farms new methods though, but that's not really represented in this graph. We may update later with some before and after about botted accounts/queues popular with those bots.

- Why Vanguard is bad for me as a Software Developer
This got deleted on LoL reddit, what a pity!
I simply can not run Vanguard and docker/wsl2 for my daily software projects at the same time. There might be workarounds, but this is a deal breaker for me. if you force me to always switch configurations or put extra work into finding a solution for making both usable, then this is simply unacceptable. Riot should find another way to catch cheaters. Until then i will keep criticising.
