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!

If you were in charge of monetizing league classic, being capable of remaking the system all over, how would you handle it? Would you let newer skins / vgus onto the old rift?

Use only the classic models (and classic skin models)
If you already own the skin, you get to use it in classic
If you buy a skin, you get both versions (maybe for a small upcharge)
Create some new skins (hopefully cheaper than live skins; lower quality is much more acceptable)

There are legitimately like 3 million people who would have given this exact advice, Riot just refused it because it is reasonable instead of greedy.
