After 9.5 years, today is my last day at Riot! Thank You for all of the love and kindness everyone has showed me throughout the years. Thank You @MarcMerrill for taking a chance on me, but more importantly, letting me finish my ranked game while you interviewed me 10 years ago 1/

- Last full day working from the shanghai office before heading back home tomorrow and getting ready for patch 3.4 next week. I wont lie, I was dead tired landing here after launch last week but everyone here has insane energy, i was instantly good to go the first hour I got in.
- team pushed a new update for both platforms today. Addresses a lot of performance and graphical tweaks, along with some gameplay tuning based on some lessons we learned over the last few days. Def dont think its a solve for everything but it's a good step in the right direction
- Working from Shanghai with the team this week with a major focus on more fixes and tweaks to be delivered. More updates on the way
- team hasn't stopped working since release, this + more coming📢 Update for Android Players The team has been hard at work and is near deployment of an update addressing a number of things to improve performance further. See more details below.
- New season and patch Wednesday is a big one not just for content but also for features including changes to how asset downloads, shaders and overall faster ways to get ppl into game. Excited as the team put in so much work to get this out.🦠 Brace yourselves for Season 4's chemical onslaught, arriving 5/29.

00:00 - Think you guys have noticed the rapid-patching we're doing the last couple of days for the game. For transparency we're focus firing down a bunch of bugs, optimizations (and some cool stuff!) for our WWL. We're patching as much as we can so we can hone in on the sweet spot launch
- for those downloading and playing for the first time - it takes a bit to download all the assets. I would expect graphical fidelity to improve over the course of 2-4 games as you stream in and download more stuff to make the game clearer (which of course = device heat)
- Replying to @hhikidaI'm pretty excited (and anxious) about 3.4 - it's got a lot of content and improvements. I don't think it'll be perfect but what has been great is the avalanche of feedback and data we are getting that helps to inform our priorities and focus in the immediate term
