I'm excited to announce I accepted a new role as a Game Designer on
@PlayVALORANT
! I'll be joining the characters ("agents") team working on mostly live balance updates. I can't wait to start🥰
also maximum-hype timing with Masters Reykjavík coming up👀
Unfortunately, this Tweet was unprofessional and out-of-line with what we stand for. The person responsible no longer works for the United States of America.
Seeing some confusion RE: the chamber radius changes on the TP. This isn't the rotation distance on the map, it's the physical distance Chamber can stand away from his anchor and activate the ability
(1/x)
Some people in my chat were unaware that the Spike has a different defuse sound after it's already been half-defused by a defender in VALORANT. Here's a quick video where you can hear the differences in pitch (since Youtube seemed relatively useless for this for quick videos)
We have an upcoming Iso change planned for 9.00:
- Removing the two-kill reset on his E
- Reducing the duration of his E from 20s > 12s
Removing the reset gives Iso just one activation, and reducing the duration should create a clearer window for opponents to deny him fights.
Excited to announce that I have accepted a position on the
@PlayVALORANT
team and I'll be starting in June!

valarante child game.... look to cartoon grapfix to make kid player happy like children show.. valarante cartoon world with rainbow unlike counter strike with dark corridorr and raelistic gun.. valarante like playhouse. valarant playor run from csgo fear of dark world and realism
@RiotPhroxzon
I hope Zoe wins xD. I’m a Zoe main and she’s just so fun!! People get so trolled by the bubble, and her voice lines are so cute like when she sings about chocolate cake LOL! She’s super random but also smarter than she looks, just like me xD

not going to lie I'm fully onboard the "delete promo series from non-division increases" train
nothing makes me want to play league less than repeatedly losing promos
If you're interested in working on VAL gameplay and are high immortal/radiant - we're hiring for entry level gameplay analysts.
I started on this team on League in 2016 and it's how I got my start in the games industry!

For the blind, he is bald. For the hungry, he is bald. For the sick, he is the bald. For the sad, he is bald. For the poor, he is the bald; for the debtor, he is baldness.
I've been playing league since 2010, playtesting since June 2016! Thanks for all the memories and can't imagine my life without the game at this point!
Let me know of your least favorite imbalanced content since 2016, and I'll give my favorites some RP!

Intended to curb some of the offensive power away from placing a teleporter anchor in a completely safe location & moving to deep off angles, impeding on some duelist aggressive space. Whether or not that's a true theory, we'll see :)
I wonder if
@KING_BABYBAY
will make NA teams reconsider all these comps without Jett. He really makes her look like the strongest agent in the game

@Shakarez
also on lulu W: the ability to make any assassin player want to uninstall the game if it's better in that situation than any of the aforementioned stats
This week, the team will be testing changes to flashes for a few of our Agents. And while the PBE is NA-only, it’s important to give a heads up to everyone. In short, we wanted to make some changes to sharpen the roles for Skye, KAY/O, Reyna, and Yoru (+ 5.01 Phoenix updates).

CLOVE
• Fixed a bug where Clove's Not Dead Yet (X) does not progress the “Use Your Ultimate” weekly mission and Match Details incorrectly reports 0 casts.
• Fixed a bug where Clove’s Ruse (E) used after death does not report to the
Trying to be more open around discussing design philosophy on VAL and since Clove is shipped I'll be around more doing more balance work - excited to keep working on this game with y'all 💞
Ahhhh the team and I have been hard at work on Clove for a long while now and I'm so excited to get them into players' hands 🫶
See you all at the show match today!

The video's plot is based on the protagonist sacrificing time in their personal life and continuing to grind while their OG gaming friends move on and do other things. The camera pans to the crowd after he steps up to play on stage and he sees his friends cheering him on as a pro
Got to showcase my first internal agent prototype gameplay hook today to the characters team
#LifeatValorant
It's still a bit too early to share anything, but I'm super excited for what's to come in the future 🙌
@drone_fps
mental fog matters a lot in mobas - missing easy lasthits, not realizing when players are moving around the map and dying to obviously pinged/warded ganks are probably the closest equivalent feelings
There's a point where every in-dev agent has a prototype ability that uses a cursed breach 1p animation and now I'm glad you all have to see how terrifying it is as well
@MarkYetter
I'm tired of Azir. He just slows the game down and there's not meaningful counters in the pro meta.
I would like any mid lane assassins to be played more. :)
Still getting used to doing these on camera things (WTF DO I DO WITH MY HANDS???), but I recently accepted some new responsibilities leading our live balance efforts. Excited to keep working on the live game with y'all 🫡
Hopefully Sylas won't be banned in every single game of 9.2 ranked. I need to play him. For research purposes, not to abuse the fact that I have a lot of games on him and nobody will know how to play against him of course.
today i made a huge mistake and looked at the nutritional information of a taco bell baja blast
you do not want to know the nutritional information of a baja blast
We’re skipping our regular patch cadence this week to allow our engineers the time they need to upgrade our game engine.
You can expect the next patch, Patch 5.03, to start shipping August 9.
Really big changes to the meta incoming with this upcoming VAL patch. Especially @ 5K it means in OT you have to be no shields/no utility if you pick up an OP
In the future, we'll likely create an infinite warmup version once we can join people to matches in progress (this is tech we're currently working on). This way people can drop and join as needed to keep these matches healthy.
VAL Dev update video coming tomorrow! It's been a minute, and I'm excited about the topics we’re going to cover, because it’s a bunch of stuff you’ve been talking about in the community. And yes, we’re finally going to talk about what’s been going on with replays (I promise we
excited to recharge over the break - building an agent is super hard but i'm so glad to be supported by godlike mentors and a great VAL team. I can't wait to keep learning in 2023
