ARSR game mode for RGM queue coming soon to PBE testing

L4T3NCY

"Yo party people! \>o</ Game mode time. Let's go! :)

ARSR (All Random Summoner's Rift):

This one's all in the title. ARSR is straight up "All Random Summoner's Rift". No gameplay changes have been made; we chose to keep the SR experience pure (ambient gold/EXP/etc all the same). Just roll your champs then go wreck!



Game mode details:

-- ARSR (All Random Summoner's Rift).

-- Random champions in a regular game of Summoner's Rift.

-- You will be able to earn keys/chests.

-- Uses the same pick paradigm as ARAM or ARURF.

---- Champions are randomised from your own champ pool + the free-to-play rotation.

---- Rerolls are allowed.

---- Rerolls are shared with ARAM, but we'll increase the earning while the mode is active to compensate (same as ARURF).

Would you guys make this permanent?

We don't currently have plans to make ARSR permanent, but we're not inherently against the idea either. Unlike Dominion or other gameplay heavy modes, this doesn't need any upkeep patch to patch. For the most part, it 'just works'. If the game mode turns out to be pretty healthy and #goodtimes for everyone then sure, we could consider if it could be enabled.

Known issues:

Nothing we could see, but let us know if you find anything! Most likely there would be something in the champ select phase.

Thanks as always PBE heroes, even though not all of you wear capes. <3

Magic Shield Feedback Thread

RiotSolcrushed

"Hey guys, we're tryring some follow up changes to the magic shield color change.

Feedback regarding clarity will be very appreciated, especially from colorblind people!

Colorblind mode: Reverted back to old magenta

Normal mode: Changed to a more bluish purple. Goal is to find a color far enough from Red, Green, and Gray"

Meddler

"Magic Damage Shield UI

During Galio's development we identified that on tanky targets it was too difficult to tell how much damage they were taking if they had a long duration magic damage shield up, because of the similarities in color and tone between the enemy healthbar red and magic damage shield purple. As one of the steps to improving that we tweaked the magic damage shield bar color. Internal feedback on that change was that it read better. PBE feedback, as is often the case for changes that go out mid PBE cycle, was minimal. After the patch went live however we started seeing a lot of feedback from players who felt that the new color was too close to the regular shield UI, resulting in a different mislead instead. We'll be adjusting magic damage shield color use again as a result, both to find a point that avoids overlapping enemy health bars/regular shields and to put in some specific tunings for colorblind mode.
