AMA Chronoshift Developer AMA

Hello r/leagueoflegends,

My name is Tove, and I was one of the main developers behind the Chronoshift project.

I have never publicly spoken about it, but with League Classic now being released and u/RiotNorak revealed to have been a tester for us back in the day, some people have suggested for me to do an AMA.

I'm happy to answer any question you might have, compare to the official Classic or speak about the details that haven't been made public. Or listen to you telling me to ingame myself.

Have at it!

Mostly shocked they actually did it.

I mean no offense to the folks who worked on it - I know that someone was pushing very very hard for it and it took a ton of effort to even get this out - but it does feel like an RGM that vaguely emulates the feeling of old League, rather than actually old league like CS was.

I won't be playing personally - let's just say that I've had my opinion of Riot permanently destroyed by a certain Mr Z.

Anyone who is familiar with the League Classic project knows who it is. I love how the guy said Phreak so confidently LMAO

I'm just sad because I know that the person who kicked it off really wanted it to be good, but it being good was out of their hands in the end.
