TL;DW: Skarner, Skins & Quick Play Dev Update

Hey everyone, Riot Brightmoon, Meddler, and Pupulasers here with another TL;DW of today’s Dev Update.

• Rell’s midscope is still underway and you can read more about it in the dev blog.
• Neeko’s midscope is getting close, but we ran into tech challenges with her passive.
• Ivern will be receiving a midscope after Rell and Neeko with a focus on improving Daisy.

• We released a dev blog diving into Skarner’s VGU, covering art, design, and narrative.
• We’re exploring new skin thematics with two unique ones coming at MSI and mid-year.
• Udyr, Shyvana, and Dr. Mundo are receiving new skins soon.
• We’re aiming to bring the first batch of Wild Rift skins to League in July—this could change!

• Star Guardian Senna and Orianna are both coming to League in the first batch, along with the previously announced Star Guardian Seraphine.
• Redeemed Star Guardian Xayah and Rakan will follow later this year.

• We’re aiming to bring back Blue Essence Emporium mid-year with tech improvements.
• We’re testing out Quick Play as a replacement for Blind Pick in select regions (for now).
• Quick Play lets you choose role and champion combinations when you queue. You’ll skip Champ Select and get straight into the game.
• Starting April 5th, League will no longer be supported by 32-bit operating systems, which will affect less than 0.01% of players globally. If this does impact you, you’ll get a message in the client starting patch 13.6!
• Moving League over to 64-bit OS lets us improve features such as our security and anti-cheat and bot detection.

That’s all we have for this Dev Update. Let us know what you think and we’ll see you on the Rift!
