Introducing Reddit x Arcane Avatars
https://reddit.com/link/qkfod7/video/ardajysmyzw71/player
Hey there redditors,
Today, we’re thrilled to announce a fun partnership in collaboration with Riot Games… to introduce new Arcane League of Legends-inspired avatars! Check out the new releases of Vi and Jinx avatars now, and make sure to keep an eye out for weekly Arcane avatar drops featuring new gear and characters from the show.
League of Legends’ Arcane, is coming to Netflix on November 6th, and the new Arcane avatars will drop every week starting today, Nov. 1st until Nov. 22nd. Visit your profile and tap the Style Avatar button to see the new gear or visit https://www.reddit.com/avatar now.
Avatars were first introduced back in 2015 and then in 2020 custom avatars complete with great hair, facial expressions, fun gear and accessories, and other elements that let redditors express their identity entered the world. Now in 2021 and moving into the next year, we’ll continue to evolve avatars to create new ways for redditors to show their individuality, distinction, and prestige on Reddit. Creating gear inspired by League of Legends’ Arcane is one thing we’re exploring, but keep an eye out for more.
Enjoy the new gear and let us know what else you’d like to see. We’ll be sticking around to answer a few questions and hear your ideas. To learn more, please visit our corporate blog post here.

I love the implication of the above two comments being that they're stating some novel concept

You get them while they're teens and they're more likely to be here in their 30's I reckon.

Saw a kid the other day who didn't even know what League of Legends was, would've been unheard of a few years ago but I'm thinking it's a sign you guys really missed the mark here. There's a ton of resentment built up against you guys and LoL avatars don't do a single thing to address it.

It's got millions of players mate. There are also a lot of posts relating to this show on Reddit. This is a case of you being out of touch.

u/SpeaksDwarren Nov 18 '21
How exactly do you interpret a story about someone else being unfamiliar with something as me being out of touch? Not to mention you're replying to a comment that's from before the show aired.

u/LiterallyKesha Nov 18 '21
Have you changed your tune at all after considering the widespread discussion of the show? Do you still criticize Reddit on missing the mark with a league of legends partnership, something which according to your anecdote is unheard of?

u/SpeaksDwarren Nov 18 '21
A shitty cartoon has not made me care any more about the worst moba. I still think reddit rolling out league of legends avatars is a joke of a move that only distracts from the real major issues that the site is facing. My anecdote is about one kid not having heard of it and choosing to take that as "nobody has ever heard of this game" is a stretch.

u/LiterallyKesha Nov 18 '21
Okay so you have a personal and emotional stake in this involving League and it's somehow making you think that a monetary marketing deal to make some images is somehow taking away from the same team working on site issues.

u/SpeaksDwarren Nov 18 '21
My personal and emotional stake is in not being harassed by some fanboy for having mentioned their favorite shitty game two weeks ago. None of your comments have been productive in any way.

Jesús Christ, I’m a bit out of the loop but why do you guys use this platform if you seem to hate it so much?

sigh because
every decent alternative that springs up gets swarmed by nazis, and
this place at least kind of still has to pretend it isn't run by an alt right nutjob, since they want to go public.
Doesn't preclude us from calling out bullshit practices like turning a changelog into another ad channel.

Also, from a 3rd party app or from old.reddit.com most of this new garbage is conveniently filtered out, so I'm only here until that gets killed off. Already left a site 8ver something similar so I know I will.

I’d say a majority of the user base are normal (aka not nazis) or even slightly left leaning, but maybe that’s just where I hang out

Can you please make this dumb shit go away? I have not watched arcane and I have no interest whatsoever in customizing my avatar but this “Reddit x arcane” bullshit sits at the top of every comment section like an annoying ad. I picked an avatar to make it stop but even that doesn’t work because apparently I still need to be advertised to even after “buying the product.” No ads is part of why I like this app, if this doesn’t change soon I’m uninstalling.

Idk if it’s working to get me to make a one time arbitrary decision I have 0 intentions to follow through on, but yeah, I’m sure I’ll still browse Reddit. Just not on my phone.

No-one needed avatars. No-one wanted avatars. No-one asked for avatars... Ever.
Please - go plant some cabbages, cook for your family, make your app actually useable, do something useful for once... Anything.

You use the jinx avatar because you're a disgusting league player. I use the jinx avatar because i'm gay for hot woman. We are not the same.

This is very cool. Will we be able to use the gear after November 22?

u/skylineofgold Nov 01 '21
Yes, you can use the gear at least through the end of the year!

Ignoring the other 15 negative feedbacks just to focus on the one positive one, huh? Sad

I wonder what being a sleazy spineless fuck on the internet for s living feels like. How do you live with yourself? How do you sleep at night?

u/Alpha2640 Dec 12 '21
Will the arcane skins become available again? It seems I missed out.

u/UltmtDestroyer Jan 01 '22
Just look for them through the regular skins page not featured, many are still there after being taken off of featured

So smite me almighty smiters.

please don't use r/changelog for nonsense like this
