Personal News:

I'll be joining the MMO team as the Game Director!

Excited to go on this next epic adventure with you all.

Picture:
In June this year, I'll be joining Ghostcrawler and the MMO team as the project's Game Director! We're still working out all the transition details, but I'm very confident in the League team's direction and the future of the game. Expect the same transparency, quality, and openness to feedback as we've tried to live up to over the years.

Personally, working on League for the last 8 years has been the honor of my life. The talented dev team and the passionate players like you have been a critical part of building and improving my favorite game. I've enjoyed every day of it so far and I'm looking forward to our next big adventure together.

Man idk, from the outside looking in it just feels League is getting it's resourced siphoned without adequate replacement. I am happy for him of course, but he set the standard for transparent communication while he was at the helm. Is that a fair assumption to make /u/RiotScruffy ? Is the League team just getting smaller?

Best of luck.

It's normal course for a long lived game like League. People come on and off the project over time. It's healthy for the team to have fresh talent, ideas, and to let the old guard move on after many years.

Specifically I can say that the league team isn't shrinking for sure (they're growing in 2021 with lots of big plans).

Who will be in his place in the future?

What i always loved about him is that i could follow him on twitter for the balance changes and nothing else. No breakfast pictures or shit like that.

good luck for the future!

Small Edit: I hope its not because People meme you so much, more than any other person on the League Team

Don't worry its not from the memes, for every meme or angry response there are helpful and kind ones too.

I'm ready to be memed to death on the MMO, been building meme resist for years.
