Anyone know if this update will come with new encounters?
I've been kind of disappointed that they keep adding new champs to play as, but not new enemies to fight.
He said on twitter that the update won't have new adventures or modes but they will be working on new adventure content once constellations are out.
So by on a path to growth are we still getting exclusive lor champs and another expansion next year?
Exclusive / original LoR champs - yes, some are already waiting in the wings.
Expansion - as noted before, we don't have any plans for future expansions that look like Dreamlit Paths, but we will be continually releasing new champions and support cards on a regular basis. They will be designed for the Path of Champions, but some may make their way into PvP if we feel it's safe enough. Our current belief is that such cases would be the exception, and not the norm - want to set appropriate expectations.
while i have your attention is co-op PoC somrthing you guys have thought of? I'd love to play it with my girlfriend.
We have prototypes! But there's a lot of validation that still needs to happen to make us feel confident about it and building the full experience for it.
Hi folks, I’m here to talk about the LoR Button!
I know some people have had questions about why the LoR button now, and I wanted to give a little insight. I can’t speak to why the button wasn’t in Riot client in the early days, but we landed on this day for three reasons:
We’re not blind to the fact that this button is coming later than we or the community would have liked, and that our PvP-focused audience has frustrations or concerns abo...

Read moreHi Eric,
I just want to say that it feels horrible that with the focus on Path that PvP will most likely not receive any new content for the foreseeable future. A lot of players look forward to seeing their favourite champions come into LoR and for new champions to be potentially not be accessable in the gamemode of their preference it will leave a sour taste in the mouth of many players.
When LoR was focusing on PvP, Path players didn't receive as much content as they are now but they still received the new champions with the team sometimes adding older champions to the pool of playable cards.
Now that the table has flipped with the focus to TPoC I feel like us PvP players are being told we are no longer welcome as we will not receive any new content for the foreseeable future. I understand your point that the card balance may be a problem however I would feel like as designers the team should know what makes a card strong or weak and then design the champion ...
I understand this sentiment, I really do. But from the game development perspective, making a solid champ (or any card) for PvP takes a great deal of effort, and it has to achieve many more things. That’s why a set like Dreamlit Paths took over 12 months to design, with more resources than the current LoR team.
If the cards we make for PvE seem like they will be safe for PvP, we may release them. But the team will be designing them for PvE first and foremost - so if Teemo: Illuminated turns out to be a 3/3 elusive for 1 that gives all bandle city units triple attack, he’s not going into PvP.
We may do card balance adjustments, but not as a regular mechanism of Standard format changes. That will be rotation driven. If we believe that card balance changes are necessary for the health of the format, they would be on the table, but they generally would be reactive to emerging metagame circumstances.
We are going to let the rotation plan happen, which will start in August, and see how things go. We believe that Rotation will be very effective at making Standard fun and interesting every few months. If that doesn’t prove true, and card balance changes (mainly in the form of number changes here and there) seem like they will make a positive impact, then we may use them.
“Plans” is a strong word for new cards in PvP. We will definitely have new cards for PvE, primarily new champs and support packages for those champs.
The reason we are hesitant to commit to those cards also appearing in PvP is balance - they won’t be designed with PvP in mind, an...

Like this is throwing money by the windows if you redirect people to this
This has already been addressed in the most recent release.
Yup I looked it up, there's 00DE003 in the game files and it's still 3/2.
Either they intentionally used the stronger version for Lux Illuminated, or just got it mixed up because they have the same name.
Maybe it's a dream of an ideal demacia, unnerfed.
It's coming real soon!
We're looking into Banding atm, stay tuned.
Will there be any other videos / articles about the future of the game around that time, too? Seems like the narrative currently is that the game won’t even get updated ever again after this last patch, when my impression from the last thing Riot said is that the game will be updated, just more sporadically and with a majority of it being Path related content.
Yes, we will have some articles to fill in more details about our future content and release plans. We have plenty of stuff slated for release beyond patch 5.4.
can we take this to assume that the lor button will be pushed out alongside patch 5.4.0?
Not alongside, but it's tentatively slated for soon thereafter. We're still working out details and scheduling, the League Client is a busy place.
I don't really see the point in waiting for an update personally, if you're a new player obviously everything will already be new to you whether it was just released or old.
To be transparent, we think that having new people come into the game when there's a lot of fun, engaging conversations on social media (like here on Reddit!) about our new champs, the new set, the latest format changes from Rotation, etc. We want the players who are falling in love with LoR for the first time to experience a welcoming ecosystem outside of the game too.
You have the original version of the card which lacks the Kat subtype introduced with Heart of the Huntress.
as subtype overseer i can confirm this is a Kat
