I wonder if Phreak was negotiated with either. Pastrytime said it wasn’t his decision to quit, Dash says the same.

What are Riot doing?

If I wanted to cast in the same capacity (assignments, pay, etc.) in 2023 I could have. I chose to become a game designer.

Are you still with league as a game designer, or another game?

I work at Riot on the Summoner's Rift Team as a game designer. I made the changes to Axiom Arc, Horizon Focus, and Xayah that are coming in 13.1 (someone else directly implemented them).

Quick question /u/PhreakRiot:

Why would you increase the damage on a utility item? Rather than sharpen its niche use? I believe this is a major problem holistically within the item system. There is not enough tradeoff between say utility and damage.

Given more time I could probably think of a better niche for horizon focus. Honestly the item may need a rework. But for now the reveal is about as strong as it needs to be and the rest comes down to the item being functional and competitive. 15 AP should put it in a very solid place compared to Shadowflame, which is its current closest competitor.

Was Jatts experience an element within your decision?

I spoke with Jatt when I was first considering the transition. I don’t think our convo really pushed me in any direction. Was just useful to get his perspective.
