Hi! I work on the LGBTQIA+ team at Riot. Just wanted to pop in and say that I'm glad you enjoy the content :D

Can confirm this is, in fact, a Rioter!
Just waiting on flair :3
You all better damn well know I'm spamming that emote every game when I get it 💋
Same <3
Calling anything that has a rainbow on it "corporate pandering" is absolutely not fair. It delegitamizes the hard work that LGBT people are doing in riot to make things like this happen.
they're making good merch, that people actually want
they're making good loot available for free in all of their games, all of which is absolutely incredible
they're releasing in-universe content and lore that is LGBT
they're donating proceeds to LGBT organizations
This isn't coke putting a rainbow on a logo. This is people who care making things for other people who care.
Don't get me wrong, there are things to criticize (Varus STILL needs his VO update after 3 years), but calling anything cooperate pandering is just not fair to the work that's going into it.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. A lot of the Rioters behind this event are LGBTQIA+ Rioters and our intent is to represent our community as best we can with things we hope they love.
You're a hundred percent right that we have more we could improve on and we'll always be striving to top ourselves year over year. So keep the feedback coming. What are other things (beside's Varus' VO) that you'd love to see?
Keep up all the good work! It's so nice to not only see these in League but across all the games is so cool! I mostly play Legends of Runeterra now a days, but I'll be rocking all the new stuff the there. Maybe next year we can get some Pride card backs?
Will definitely pass the idea on to the Legends of Runeterra team. Would love on to match my Guardian :P
Will this be on the turkish server too?
Content is live on the Turkish servers!
I'm so happy the Diana/Leona emote is from a mission! I really wanted it. I'm also really digging the ward icon for the shirts.
We wanted to make sure the content was as accessible as possible, hence the choice to go forward with missions. Glad you like it!
i just wanted to say that you guys are doing a great job
<3 Honestly, I read a lot of bad comments related to being LGBTQIA+. Comments like these that are so simple and nice mean so much. I agree that we're not perfect, but we're trying and I think we do genuinely get better year over year.
Hey there! Our team is technically an Employee Resource Group (ERG). ERGs are groups of employees who join together in their workplace based on shared characteristics or life experiences. The business benefits from hearing our diverse perspectives and in turn employees are heard and changes are made for the better.
Almost all large companies have ERGs including Google, Disney, Amazon etc...
Hope that helps!
Honestly, thank yall for this. I've always loved the rainbow trail and icon and now there are more goodies across every game that actually look way better than before. It's a bit emotionally overwhelming to see your identity being displayed as a controversial topic in a time of celebration. I can't wait to see what you all have in store for us in the years to come 💖

That description is quite broad, how does it work in practice? Is it a place where minorities gather to be heard? Is it one big thing or a lot of smaller groups?
Depends on what company you are at for how it works in practice. At Riot we have multiple groups, each based on their own affinity such being a Veteran or being Filipino. The size of each varies. I think our LGBTQIA+ group is one of the largest. In general, the groups meet weekly/monthly/quarterly to build community, collaborate on projects, and more! We did this mostly at our office, but now we do it virtually because of COVID.
