Man I figure if you afk for more than 2 games straight, you are intentionally tanking your rank.

Also, what kind of pie chart is this? 42% is like over 86%. According to the text, only 9% are in "consistent AFK behaviour" but the tier 3+ percentage is 24%

Update: these are the correct values provided by RiotAether. In case you want to see the wrong numbers, here is what it was before.

Oh boy I never get to talk about Marketing Asset Production, here we go

While we were writing the blog, /u/barackprobama sent over a graph that is not this graph. I mentioned to him that we could include it, but I needed it in an editable file format so it could be localized. Our loc teams don't have licenses for the tool he uses, so he had to go recreate it in a different program. Since this was all happening shortly before I needed to send everything off, rather than start from scratch he pulled the editable file from a previous graph. This graph.

Which by some strange coincidence uses the exact same numbers as the graph we posted today
.

...so yeah we're fixing it (temp link here) and in the meantime the correct numbers are:
Tier 0: 42 > 82
Tier 1: 33 > 5.5
Tier 2: math
Tier 3+: 24 > 9

Why do your localization teams need the same program? Why isn't as as simple as you making the correct chart and then your localization teams editing the image text? Percentages don't change across languages. Or did I miss that day in my math classes?

For graphs like this it's so they can open and edit the file; the numbers and labels are in fact just text layers. Otherwise it's more or less as simple as what you said, occasionally with some added steps for "you used a font that doesn't include our language's characters, idiot" and "our language's translation can't fit in that textbox, fool"

/u/MonstrousYi could you edit the post and put in the right graph from Aether?

no cause it's just a direct link to our article, /u/MonstrousYi is just doing the lord's work getting it over to reddit even though we did Yi dirty with that header image

Remind me to never ask you about numbers.

How can someone with the name Barack Probama be a lead game dev da f**k

Back in WC3 TFT days my friend and I played custom games with the names Fred Weasley & George Weasley. I forget what happened next but for some reason we lost control of those accounts.

We made a bunch of other paired names but eventually settled on BarackProbama and ProsephBiden, during their first run at the office. Back then, Pro meant you were good at the game, and noob meant you were bad at it. The names were supposed to indicate that we were both good and politically active.

I dunno and we just sort of kept them.
