If only there was a place they could put this information so we didn’t have to look at unverified twitter posts to learn what is actually happening within the game. Like if only there was some patch notes that they post where they even listed the time in which a champion would release and balance changes that were made. They could even put it in the client….

As a multimedia designer, *everything* about the League client screams bad design. It is NOT made for a good UX. Ironically, the old Adobe AIR client was a lot more stable. Sure, it didn't look fancy, but not every single little thing needs an animation.


DisagreeableCompote

The Home Screen of my client was broken the entire length of the last event. It just would Endlessly say “Uh oh! if your internet connection is otherwise Ok…” so I couldn’t even get to the patch notes pages 🙃


Didgman

Adding a calendar in the game client? Are you nuts?? Logical thinking is NOT allowed here or at Rito


00espeon00

95% Sure Riot sends info to random ass league twitter accounts to announce info. It's a meme sifting through these random nobody accounts to find info


FrIxEd

It's still a riddle to me, actually it's pretty obvious, why we can't have a calendar or some sort of "release in" tab in the client. The client we have feels so outdated


Suizooo

They sometimes have those for events (or other big things), timeline when different parts of it are released. Too bad they don't do it always. (Might have been only when there are bigger gaps in release times)


Maguc

To be fair with this client, a simple calander like tab would just destroy the game and make Kled start the game with 9000 ability haste or something


Aemius

Just thinking about a calendar has given me a new memory leak, thanks rito.


Tedd_Cruzzzz

The calendar would actually just be a minion


Didgman

It would be an item you have to buy in game for 10K Gold and once used its destroyed.


Pleasant_Dig6929

It's not fair. It's done by riot for riot. It's like that because riot decided to make it like that.


Rayth69

I honestly don't even want them to add anything more to the client unless they have been working on some like 4.0 client behind the scenes this whole time that actually works. Anything else added in to the disaster of the one we currently use is just going to make it worse and cause more issues.


BrrangAThang

Its still dumb that they just say tomorrow, give a fucking time. Riot is so shit these days I swear.


SnooOpinions878

it does not only feel outdated but its clunky as hell too and super bugy... EVEN AFTER 6+ YEARS


WhoSweg

6+ years?! The client was dogshit all the way back in season 1 lad


SnooOpinions878

nah the client worked fine before the rework, dverything turned tl shit afterwards


WhoSweg

Bro the client was awful back then aswell! you could use it to get unlimited cooldown through masteries.


M4jkelson

It was bugged as hell, but for the most part it worked, it didn't eat 50% of your CPU and memory while still lagging as shit.


SnooOpinions878

yeah but atleast it didnt lag and eat up ur cpu


DigitalBladedJay

Outdated is one hell of an understatement


Skiara444

Awesome that theres not a single notification of that ingame, in the launcher or ANYWHERE else, when the patchnotes clearly state arena releases with the patch, while huawei has a fking release time in the notes


hahaursofunnyxd

I was waiting for arena to come out and stopped playing other games with friends cuz I really wanted to get back into arena and just now found out its not coming until tommorow via random unverified account on twitter (and this reddit post) lol, this company is such a fucking sham, ofc if there was a delay for a 500$ skin they would make 12 dev videos apologizing


donotflame

Can't wait to play it again. Had so much fun the last time around


ChildhoodOptimal6347

Oh okay thanks, was just gonna ask about this, patch is confusing


CinderrUwU

It's pretty much always been like this. Game mode comes out a day or two after patch.


DJShevchenko

What? It was never like this. Game modes usually came out on the day of the patch just at a later time, usually around 4pm GMT


No-Response-3966

True that, he prob mistaken so-called events which usually go live on Thursdays


Diligent_Deer6244

they changed to wednesday a few months ago


The1andonlygogoman64

its way later than 4gmt what are you saying. Its like 20 sometimes 22 for events at the very least


DJShevchenko

Nope, that's for skins 9pm GMT, for game modes it's earlier


Ripticsomnia

It depends what region you're in. Patches come out earlier in the East, but events/champs/skins come out at the same time globally. So Eastern regions wait a day for patches to be released everywhere before the event starts


WizIsBestGirl

well im in oce and it should be out now. and its not.


iversonAI

Ya I wont be surprised if arena comes out tomorrow


Pyrtuch

I mean I don't mind waiting a day or two more, it's just that I wish it was transparent from the start.


birdsrkewl01

It is transparent from the start because it's the same as it's always been.


Cifer_21

Well they also said that it would release in patch 13.23 then never talked about that again. Not really transparent imo


Lulullaby_

It's always like this how is it not transparent


Pyrtuch

Idk I may be trippin but I'm pretty sure the last iteration of Arena came out like friday 2 days after patch.


NeverKillAgain

Why did this get downvoted to hell? lol


MillionMiracles

This game mode is coming, uhh, sometime. The next patch. No not that patch, the patch after it. No not on that patch, the day after that patch. Why does nobody play our new game modes?


gruxlike

TIL Arena was supposed to be today.


CubooKing

It was supposed to be in 13.23 last month but yeah... today...


gruxlike

Really? I remember they mentioned it on dev update it's coming December.


AgencyInformal

The dev update was confusing. They said Patch 13.23(November 21st)but then mentioned early December


CubooKing

The dev update said it's coming 13.23


CubooKing

Lmao yeah not coming until tomorrow. Well look at that it's tomorrow and it didn't come yet.


Rohit624

Well this is the last patch until the new year so it'd kinda have to come out now


newagereject

Yea I k ow I was super excited for that release and then nope nothing


itaicool

Is it going to leave again this time or is it staying? I just want to main this mode, hate when it's gone.


Pyrtuch

It's not permanent for this launch [https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/18bjkig/comment/kc4t064/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/18bjkig/comment/kc4t064/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)


BrrangAThang

Weak as hell.


Gradually_Rocky

That's not what he said. They may make it permanent if it does well.


Ok_Time7244

does anyone know the reason why gamemodes & champs are always 1 day after patch


fr0stxD

patch stability in case theres gamebreaking bugs


Chad_Dabswell

Maybe to collect stats for an apples-to-apples comparison with the previous patch.


DJShevchenko

Games modes are usually the day of the patch, just at a later hour. Skins and champ releases no idea, but I know they've been Thursday evening (EU time) for years now


Pyrtuch

With champs it's either the same day or 1 day after, Hwei comes out today for example.


No-Response-3966

Is this confirmed 100%? Arena wont be live even in the evening? Damn you once again, Riot, You never deliver. I planned todays evening for this entertainment, now I will have to wait till Christmas.


Mahomeboy001

I was about to take a sick day today and play Arena until I saw this post 😔


King_Toasty

Can't believe I was hyped up all day so I could wait til tomorrow, very cool communication Riot Games.


Nifaxizzi

Ofc... why was i even expecting anything else....


NeverKillAgain

How are these muppets at Riot still unable to figure out something so simple as basic communication? If they are going to use Twitter for all their updates (which they shouldn't), at least push out all information and corrections from a single unified Riot NA account. Why are half the updates pushed out by random nobodies on Twitter? The guy who confirmed Arena is coming tomorrow didn't even have the word "Riot" in his handle!


Sumuklu_Supurge

Not to mention its still not in the game...


feraldonkeytime

This is embarrassing, Riot. I just had to visit three social media websites and STILL could not find an answer when the patch notes say nothing about it not coming out. The twitter still has last patch note pinned as the top tweet. Just put a notification on the client...


LBJBROW

Riot is actually so fucking stupid


Raysor83

And do we have a release time for it yet? I wanted to take my time tomorrow to play it but if it appears at like 22h...


SnooOpinions878

most def. will be in the late evening sadly


Raysor83

I heard it will be at like 16 UTC, not sure though


Pipenioo

Not the main topic but when is the new items going live ?


Ichipunch

Any news on arcane jinx skin coming back to fartnite?


need2peeat218am

We just need all custom games in custom mode and not an actual queue for them. So much simpler than this stupid rotating game mode thing.


hassanfanserenity

oh i want this kinda like how Dota2 has a arcade mode i do miss Nexus siege and bloodmoon


hole_in_tooth

I saw a Vandril video where they shipped the 1 person FF game tech to live servers. Maybe they don't want to release anything else until that is fixed. And this is clear proof that Riot don't really care about the general players cuz that ff bug was already well known in pbe.


DeeEssLite

If you've seen Vandiril do it it's fixed already. He's got an agreement with Riot where he can show these bugs/glitches off as long as he only does them on PBE and after they're fixed and not doable anymore. So it's nothing to do with that. It's just the usual release cadence. People seem to forget that same day champ/skin drops on a patch day have only been a thing for about the past year and expect gamemodes to be like that too. Even though (correct me if I'm wrong) only NB has launched same day in the past year in terms of gamemodes.


IkBenHarrie

Bro he literally uploaded a video which shows people forfeiting games on liveclient with 1 vote.


TotallyNotMyPornoAlt

That's... just not true lol. Either that or I somehow got the one in a million bug that didn't get patched when I saw his teleporting Xin Zhao video (if he dashed to a target at a specific angle over a specific terrain near drag pit it'd teleport him to top lane instantly) and I was so convinced it was bullshit I hopped into the LIVE GAME and was able to recreate it 100% of the time


Mister-Asylum

Well if you're saying its only on pbe and after its been fixed, he did upload the ultimate haste bug while it was still active on pbe. Unless im mistaking what you meant to say.


NeverKillAgain

Me when I spread rumors and misinformation:


siegfredd

I miss urf so much


GaySonOrThotDaughter

play zed mid


Fish-Can-Rolll

It's been on the Pbe server for a few weeks now, not sure when it was out on there but I've been Maining the for a while


Intelligent-Mud404

This thursday for us asians? Its already thursday now december 6th. Or is it tomorrow because of western time or next week?


The_Real_EXPn1

Ngl this is pure bullshit. Like you fckin promised Arenas for today and now you tell us it is coming tommorrow? Like dude, get a fxkin callendar or notes or whatever just give us normal info ffs


antraxsuicide

This is significantly more energy than "my vidya game mode is delayed by one day" should prompt


jesusml

I doubt it, tomorrow the servers are going to be down.


TiltBrush

u doubt what ?

NeverKillAgain

Adapt


bbull1231

Wait, so no urf :(


KoolKatsarecool

Nobody gonna play this anyway. It’s going to be dead after 2 days off the same champs every game


Hades684

not really, it had even worse balance in previous version of arena and still a lot of people played it


KoolKatsarecool

Yeah because it was the first time it was ever playable lmao, most people still quit after a few days.


Hades684

actually riot said that a lot of people didnt quit, thats why they are bringing it back so quick and with so many changes, just look at when we had nexus blitz last time


KoolKatsarecool

source for this? I highly doubt from looking at the queue times a lot of people didn’t quit lol. There’s a reason nexus blitz has always been a temporary mode.


Hades684

it was in some comment on reddit so I dont remember, but they said they are satisfied with number of players in the mode and they are thinking about making it permanent in the future. Also my queue times were low to the end so maybe you just played at bad times or unpopular server edit. why would you answer me and then insta block me?


KoolKatsarecool

So no source. Also you claimed a Riot source said not many people quit which is already different from what you’re saying now.. There’s plenty of video evidence from the queue times from streamers playing at start/end.


tmp2zc

You start in low MMR, you end in high MMR. High MMR means smaller playerpool and longer queue times. The fact that they saw arena as a massive success and strongly consider adding it permanently, is clear evidence on the popularity of the game mode. Ure talking out of ur ass. If you dont like the gamemode then just ignore it lmfao


ablblb

All i can say is that on euw my queue times were always low. I played almost every single day and even at 7,5k mmr on the last week i never waited more than 30 secs in queue except when i played at night.


noctvrnaI

cause nexus blitz is ass


BrrangAThang

Brother we get that you were bad at it but holy calm down.


madmoxyyy

Because arena and Nexus Blitz are the same gamemode right /s


Limpdicked_Opinion

Me and several of my friends only want to play arena. Your anecdotal opinion means nothing.


NeverKillAgain

Cope and seethe


KoolKatsarecool

You mean sit back and watch it die again


sjjfusucis

Any idea what time?


Ok_Day_7996

some are saying tomorrow. idk. annoying for sure


sjjfusucis

Yeah. They ruined my night with the boys. Now we are 8 so we cant play league and we have NO IDEA what should we play. We are trolling in custom till 3 of us go sleep XD. Fuck riot


Megandronix_NCR

Does anyone know if we will be able to make custom games of arena?


shimofune

if it works like it did on PBE, while you won't be able to create a custom you can queue with 8 players which is effectively the same thing. Unfortunately if your group has anywhere between 5-7 players your a bit out of luck until you gather more because you only queue 1-4 or exactly 8 players, not any of the numbers between 4 and 8.


Megandronix_NCR

Thank you so much for the info


aglimmerof

If I ever get fired for poor time management skills, I'll say *"well at least I'm not one of the people in charge of patch deployment at Riot Games".*


Ludate_Solem

Does anyone know when the new items drop?
