Update on Rune Changes
When asked about the details of his previously mentioned plans for runes, ricklessabandon briefly commented that he can't share any details abut the official messaging should be coming up soon."we do have messaging coming up soon, so 100% of the details will be available in the super-near future, but i don't know the exact date. once that's officially out there, i'll be putting the changes on the pbe.He continued:
thanks for all of your patience in the interim~"
"it covers all of the planned runes changes for the 2014 season (not counting any follow-up changes/maintenance directly related to these changes if needed)."
ricklessabandon also commented on the Baron Buff changes that were discussed during preseason, saying:
"i'm not up to speed on the details, but they're not actively being worked on. we do have plans for mr. nashor, but they're less urgent than dragon changes (which are currently in development). again, not up to speed on those changes so i could be mistaken."
Third Party Programs Legal?
When asked about third party programs , such as Curse Voice, that overlay jungle timers and other features into League, Riot Sargonas commented:"This is actually something we've been discussing lately ourselves. Currently we've not taken an official stance on the use of Curse Voice, but we do find it an interesting application. Rest assured, we're aware of the polarizing effects it's had on parts of the community lately and are keeping an open mind. We're taking our time to make sure we make decisions that are the best for the community, as the more information we make available through systems such as our new API, the more that creative tools like this that are developed by the community will arise.He continued:
Personally however, I rather enjoy the timers as I'm simply not at a skill level to keep track of those things effectively in my head, and it saves me from having a watch or notepad sitting next to my keyboard. :)"
"Indeed, that is why we are taking our time to thoroughly think about how we approach this, and are also paying close attention to how the community feels as well as involving the design team. It's clearly a very polarizing topic and this is slightly new territory, and what we do will set a precedent. As the manager of the team who handles our partnerships with third party developers, I just wanted to drop by the thread and let everyone know this was something that was indeed on our radar. We've seen a lot of threads about this in recent days and I felt it was important to make sure you guys knew we were aware of it's importance to you, even though we've not developed a policy around it yet."
[Continued] Rengar Rework Strikes Back
Riot Jag returned to the forums with an update on the Rengar rework that's currently in internal development, including mention that we'll see it on the PBE "quite soon"!"Some updates:
-We're trying a version of Rengar with his max ferocity stacks back to 5, and they no longer decay out of combat.
-By adding the required build up to his Ferocity-empowered moves, we could add a little power back to his Ferocity Q and gave it some solid steroids (bonus attack speed and AD for a duration) so his sustained damage is stronger.He continued, elaborating on the empowered Q change:
-Scruffy has done some work to ensure you'll be seeing Rengar on PBE quite soon. Tonight we hunt?"
"The goal is that for all Empowered abilities, there are unique situations where it is clearly the optimal choice over the other two. We added power to the Empowered Q because it was underwhelming in comparison to the other Ferocity options and failing this goal; we are not buffing it because we want to make it excessively strong."

Will EUNE Benefit from the Amsterdam Data Center?
When asked if EUNE will benefit from the opening of the much anticipated Amsterdam data center, Riot Moonleaf commented:"This is correct to an extend. Without going into too much detail, when Amsterdam opens and part of EUW moves there, Frankfurt's stability and performance will improve.
The plan is to move EUNE to Amsterdam in time, but Rome wasn't built in one day, and we'd rather launch Amsterdam earlier with EUW rather than delaying it for having both servers, especially since moving just EUW will help."
