Hello everyone and welcome to another Riot news compilation post, where we give you a quick overview of the news content created by Riot in the past couple of days. Today, the first thing we'd like to point out is that two posts below are spoilered because - you guessed it - they contain spoilers for games which were played at this year's World Championship; open them at your own risk.
Of course, it should be no surprise that the Worlds theme is once again rather strong in today's list of posts, but it also features an article with more news on the upcoming end of the 2015 ranked season, the announcement of the winners of the Riot API Challenge 2.0, the start of a dev blog on data and champion balance and more. That's all for now, make sure to leave your thoughts on these articles in the comments below!
Later this month, a new champion will hoist the Summoner's Cup. We asked previous World Champions to describe the feeling at the exact moment when they knew they'd won it all, starting with Fnatic's xPeke.
Ranked rewards return with Victorious Sivir, division markers adorning loading screen borders, and an evolving ward skin for ranked teams. Make your mark and be Victorious before November 11.
There are some moments that you walk away from remembering forever. Throughout Worlds, we'll be re-visiting some of our favorite moments from past World Championships and discussing what made them so special.
We gave developers three prompts based on Black Market Brawler games, Ability Power Item Changes, and in-game Item Sets. Check out the winners of the Riot Games API Challenge 2.0!
In part 1 of our Data & Champion Balance dev blog, Riot Jules talks about what really goes into a champion's win rate and what other data we use to assess champion balance.
Between Two Turrets is a Q&A series connecting you with various Rioters - this week, we've got Featured Game Modes Lead Designer L4T3NCY!
