are people aware that if you long hold your champ, you can open the emote wheel? added this a few patches back but wanted to get a sense if players actually know about it and use it

I am sad to say I will be leaving Riot Games to pursue other career opportunities. I appreciate all the support for me and for Wild Rift. Working at Riot has been incredible, and managing the WR gameplay and balance teams has been the most amazing job ever. Thank you All!

1. pick bans (solves balance issues too) 2. matchmaking (MMR inflation, 5-stacking, better MM) 3. gem locked new releases 4. balance (better/more frequent patches, a pass on CC, a pass on items, rayqua) 5. toxic player behavior punishment 6. better communication from devs (2/2)

Hope all yall had a great Lunar New Year and a wonderful Valentines day! we are still going to wait to get a lot more data on Xayah/Rakan before we tweak them since they do take time to master. gut feeling is that Xayah is too weak. Rakan is maybe ok, maybe slightly weak.
