At least that’s what I found out according to August, which is someone who you can’t easily record.
Anyway, that’s nice, although I kind of wish for any sort of teaser besides roadmap in that case but it’s fine.
What do you think?

Riot has (and has) it's share of problems, but it's by far the best place I've worked at in multiple metrics. I can't think of many companies in the gaming industry which, on the whole, treat workers better.
Thats not how it works, especially in tech. Newcomers would need quite a bit of training in the way Riot codes and does things, that it would be good for long run but would mean in short run their educated/qualified employees would have to work more. This would actually mean lower productivity from those people for a while.
Things like coding languages, workarounds, coding patterns, documentations etc are not things that someone can just see once and start writing their own code within few seconds. This is particularly important when you consider that League is a 10+ year old game with some real weird/spaghetti code without proper documentation at times.
It's true! With so many exciting opportunities in the gaming spheres and so many changes in our lives in the recent years, roster of folks working on champion is in flux. Mostly because we always have to trade off making the next exciting champ vs focus on training.This year, I think we want to put more bandwidth to train up newer Rioters all across the board! This means designers will have less bandwidth to work on their current projects. I'm hoping this is helping to build better stability in the long term. Once we have enough devs to backfill etc. It opens up current developers opportunities to grow in mentorship or even to work on a different project that they are passionate about. I don't want to ever keep someone on the team as an exciting opportunity passes them by or if they need a bit of a break etc! I'm grateful that the team think the same and will often stretch themselves to support their fellow teammate.I like to think that we are going a bit slower right now, in order to set ourselves up for success in the longer term.
Are the devs lazy?
TBH, as someone part of the leads group (I see some of you here refer to it as "The Management"), Riot is the one place that I have to consistent tell people to slow down and take a breather. My colleagues are super passionate about the their work and about the players that sometimes they need reminder that working sustainably is better than doing everything NOW.
Why can't you hire more people?
We are! Plenty of job openings on the Riot Career website. But with new people comes with time needed to hire, interview, train and they also need time to acclimate to their new team. Moreover, sometimes the work is not something that you can throw more bodies at. 9 woman can't give birth to 1 baby in 1 month.
