Can confirm this is indeed a deliberately younger portrayal of Darius than seen in game.

Considering he's 1.4 KDA and negative winrate on his main champion, no he probably does not talk shit lol.

Bruh… lol

I'm a Taric OTP that occasionally hits GM/Challenger when I feel like grinding soloqueue. I think I was the highest rated Rioter for Split 2 this year, but that might not mean much to most since I'm honestly one-tricking an overpowered champion. https://www.op.gg/summoners/na/Riot%20Koyuncu-NA1

Nowadays it's kind of hard to grind the ladder during the demon hours like I used to. Being over thirty after ten years of playing means new life priorities, but I still find myself at trying to end Mas...

Super cool that it's a career path & admirable work by your team & leads to legitimize it.

Big agree

There was a Riot vs Streeamer event once. LoL, Valorant, TFT, the works. Riot brought their top tier team for each game and demolished the streamers that were usually somewhat good at one of the games.

I guess their LoL roster had the highest rated internal LoL players.

Undercity Nights, a celebration of the release of season 1 of Arcane, one of my fondest memories. You can see the VOD of the Rioter matchups on Day 2 https://www.youtube.com/live/bcMk4DXCeUE?si=4UcSPCvoISui6G0B

Most are full time Riot employees. Occasionally there are contractors that help out the team as well, currently there are some. At the time of that articles writing I think there were none? could be wrong on that. Way back (like 10+ years ago) all of the team was contract, but that changed awhile ago. Game Analyst is a career track at Riot Games.

Its generally all in good fun, usually everyone is supportive of each others climbs.

Only exception is if we get matched against each other for a game LOL. The only smack talk is if we set a challenge for each other like who can climb the most LP in X time or something like that. Or during Riot Rumble, our internal tournament.

Auberon used to be GM/chall idk if he plays anymore

Still plays, just under a different ign. A lot of rioters don't "Riotize" their name out of personal preference, or they change their name occasionally.

I don't know if we have any "current" challengers, but I know for sure we have some current GMs and some past challengers.

Unsure about who the highest rank is!

We have one current Challenger who works with Riot https://www.op.gg/summoners/na/Isolde-NA1

(They approved me posting them here)

Yep I just checked my jacket in the closet and it matches. Internal swag from the 2021 Coven skinline release.

So it’s not official standard merch but it does come from Riot

Can't speak to your specific example but the vast majority of players don't tailor their runes to the specific matchup or situation, and rune recommender ends up doing most of the work for most players. High elo players are much more likely to modify their rune page between each game as well as select more "optimal" choices. Often these optimal choices also require extra effort (weaving in attacks in lane for constant Aery procs for example) that most players either don't want to do or simply would not be able to execute on successfully to the point that the rune selection would become optimal.

There is also just a bit of a different meta at different ranks, often influenced by a small handful of one-tricks or dedicated mains in high elo. In GM+ you might literally just be looking at one or two player's builds on certain champions.
