This is just something I think about every now and then but in my sophomore year of High School, about 2016, a LoL developer came to visit my high school art class. He was friends with my art teacher.
He was showing off the in-game model for Jinx and describing the details of the model, showing her switching her guns and stuff. No one in the class was all that interested because none of us knew what LoL or Riot Games was. In fact, my friends and I were more interested in the Super Smash Bros. T-Shirt he was wearing and we were asking him if he wanted to play with us online. I think he said he doesn’t actually play, he’s just a fan.
At that time I was really into art and was considering a career in it, and I told him that. He wrote his number or his email on a post-it note and gave it to me and told me to keep in touch, but I lost it.
Years later now that I’m familiar with Riot and love LoL, I think about this encounter a lot and regret not ever reaching out. Also feel it’s a shame I couldn’t appreciate his presentation back then as much as I would now. Just thought I would share. Unlucky.
