WAAAARGHbobo, the writer behind Jhin, Aatrox, Tahm Kench, Zoe, Kled, Illaoi, Rakan and the Ashe and Zed comics tweeted:

After 7 years, today was my last day at Riot. So many people I loved working with & so much work I'm proud of: Astra on Valorant, Jhin & Tahm Kench on League, the Ashe comic, & unreleased stuff I can't talk about. But I'm super excited to be moving on to the next chapter.

And FauxSchizzle, the writer behind Neeko, Xayah, Mordekaiser, Ezreal, Pyke, Ivern, Kindred and Ekko also tweeted:

7-ish years ago, I was lucky enough to join the narrative team at riot. I worked hard, learned a lot, wrote lots that I’m proud of.

Now, it’s time for whatever is next.

Thank you, players, your passion for Our champs made it all worth it.

Never one...

These guys created the lore behind some of the coolest champs in League.

Edit: Thermal Kittens is leaving as well, she was the Head of Narrative at Riot and worked on Kayle, Morgana, Camille, Taliyah, Dawnbringer Riven, Nightbringer Yasuo and basically all the Star Guardian lore.

She did so with a haiku:

My Last Day at Riot

Twilight pages turn

bright with stories yet to write.

Dawn breaks pink and new.

IIRC they haven't directly worked on champ team for like 2/3 years now (still doing writing stories and stuff) but I believe it's mostly JohnODyin, SkiptomyLuo, and griddlebones working on new champ/VGU lore these days with Carnival Knights occasionally pitching in. Maybe /u/Reav3 can confirm

Yes those are the 4 writers currently that work on champs team, Carnival Knights' tends to do a bit more then just pitching in though,
