Hey Folks, Thanks for all the feedback and for dropping by with your questions. Sorry if I wasn't able to get to everyone. We'll hopefully be doing another one of these in the future. For the time being, I'll be watching like a hawk on all of Guillotine's data and let you all know some specifics around her changes at a…

More open communication about upcoming buffs and who's being picked: This is something we'll be looking into as well! I'd love to have things in the player's hands early and have a more open process around making changes before they're out in the wild. Still in the early stages on anything related but its 100% something…

Thoughts on doing theme'd rework months?: This is 100% something we've considered and even tried a few times. A lot of the time the difficulty with it is that the rework/updates team is on a different timeline than the rest of the character teams so it can be hard to line everyone up. It's for sure something we're always…

We've seen a few other reworks come out recently that have a ton of healing, compared to guillotine. Was this considered when making her buff?: I can't say it wasn't considered haha. The biggest concern with guillotines regen for me was it's always on effect. I was fairly reserved with her tuning because she unlike most…

Do you have any plans in the future for a Beta test server?: I can't confirm anything on this, but it is 100% something we're actively looking into and we hope to one day have!

Some of the true OG champs still haven't gotten reworks, why is that?: Getting new art for characters takes a long time! Much longer than our regular design/update process. This does limit us a bit on who we can update. We're looking into getting more and more of those OG's updated with fresh faces, it just takes a bit…

How do you choose new champions to rework?: There are a few places we look, we have an internal list of champions we feel could use an update/rework. From there we'll go through the list, and start spitballing ideas for designs. When we find one that we really like, we'll take the next step. We've found this ends up being…

We voted for this champ! Why wasn't she targeted as a high tier player champion!: With Guillotines release we've learned that we need to make sure that our top tier players still have something extra to chew on and we have more skill expression for you guys to show off the cool new toy you banded together to earn! We're…

Can you give us some info on how many people are using her now: We see some MASSIVE changes in terms of players picking up newly reworked champions. With Guillotine we saw around 5-10x the number of users picking her up and playing her. When we sort a lot of our data we also break users into different skill groups and use…

Why do you change/remove some pieces in a characters kit when you rework them: Most of the time when you see a character have something removed from their kit with releasing updates/reworks it’s because we wanted to put that power elsewhere. In this instance, we wanted to give him much more power and remove a bit of that…

Hello all! There's more of you than there is of me so apologies if I don't get to all the questions, I'll do my best to cover most of the topics. Guillotine's new kit is paying a large homage to her old kit. We wanted to make sure we didn’t remove the key pieces she brought to the table. One of the biggest goals was an…

Hey all, So the bishop changes was mostly focused on playing AGAINST Bishop rather than playing WITH Bishop. When fighting against Bishop in harder content, namely content where taking an sp3 on the Chin will result in most any champ going down. What was happening was Bishop would start the next fight with Sp3, and then…
