On another note, can you tell Blau to drop Yasuo? It'd greatly enhance his mmr
He is actually elevating Yasuo. https://twitter.com/blaustoise/status/1230926909640339456?s=20

Who is the most underappreciated riot employee?
There are tons of super valuable people at Riot that players never hear about. If I had to nominate JUST ONE I would mention a person named Megan P. (she knows who she is). She is basically a producer and organizational machine who works behind the scenes to make events like the League 10 Year Anniversary happen. She's a complete beast and I think a lot of cool stuff that players love is secretly dependent on her continuing to be a beast.
A bunch of us will be hopping off now: wave 2 of responses coming starting around 2:30pm PT! (Two hours from now)
/u/the_cactopus are you looking to stay in your current position or move up eventually to a role like maples before he left?
Seems like everyone here knows who you are.
my boy maple was a product manager, and i'm more on the marketing communications side of things. i feel pretty good about the type of work I get to do for Riot, so whatever the future holds for me i'm pretty sure it'll still be in that marketing/comms niche
what's L10?
the League 10 Year Anniversary :) I'll edit it to be more clear
Oh wow thats actually something thatd be looked at seriously? That makes me feel way better about doing it for so long! :D get better i shall, thats my goal forever as i will def always have ways to improve, tbh ive been feeling really downtrodden about not knowing if i could truly cut it, but this is the exact inspiration i was needing to get back into it with the passion i felt years ago. Bless you cactopus 💚
All of us want to work with other people who are passionate about the work! That's why personal projects like that DO matter.
Bless you too!
Who makes Cactopus’ coffee and what do I have to do for you to f**k it up every time from now on?
:(
but i need my daily morning flat white
What does BF sword REALLYAstand for?

I am still waiting for a valid explanation why we even need two different "elos" and why the imprecise one is the more powerfull one (it decides wit who we can duo and which rewards we get in the end)
I just wrote a long post on why we think MMR and Rank have value, and we wouldn't necessarily show MMR. But as for why we use Rank for things like premades and rewards - it's the one that's visible, and we want you to have the information you need to know who you can group with and what you'll get at the end of the year.
The moba those rito guys did after teamfight tactics
oh yeah that's the one with all the funny characters and the lady who says "WELCOME TO SUMMONERS RIFT" yeah it's tight
Hey there! I'm the designer in charge of Ranked, so I can speak pretty directly to this. To start, I totally get the pain you're feeling here - seeing players with really different ranks in your game feels like garbage, even if we tell you that the MMR makes it fair. We want to solve this problem by getting MMR and Rank closer together, something we'll be talking about more over this season. But there are some really good reasons we don't just show MMR:
First, check out this post from a couple years ago where Riot Gortok goes over this question: https://nexus.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/2018/02/dev-matchmaking-real-talk/ . I think that answer ho...
Read moreThank you so much, it means so much to get such a detailed answer :D
Atm im just a helpdesk tech for a big hospital so experience is definitely what im lacking, but i have managed to get some IT certifications and will be taking classes for webcoding and some other coding types like python and c++ later this year. I also do minor map design and sprite work occasionally for a pokemon fan site(kinda lame ik but i do love it)
I definitely need to get more into design now and start fleshing out stuff to make in the future so that i can start filling out my experience logs like you said
Thank you again cactopus, hopefully one day ill get to where i can join yall 💚
That pokemon thing you just mentioned is NOT lame. It's exactly the sort of thing that a good games company will perk up and pay attention to. Get better at your craft, ship projects with lots of love in them, and be realistic about the level of roles you're applying for. You can go far.
Hi
I currently have a job as a lab analyst analyzing water quality for a city.
I would love to join the gaming industry and I’m thinking of going back to school to be able to find my way in.
I’m in my mid 20s and sometimes it feels late. Any words of inspiration you guys could send my way?
I'm not one of the Rioters giving the AMA here, but I'd just like to say that I joined Riot in my mid 20s. You can do it too!
I only do some website coding as a hobby but even I feel personally attacked.
Some days I'm like: "Let me update those few pages I made 5 years ago. Oh wtf is this shit, that's bullshit idiotic nonsense, who wrote this crap. Oh wait... I'm the only one that works on these websites..."

What's the air speed velocity of a flying swallow?
Also, more importantly, what is your favorite book related your profession or field?

Does the Sombrero of Shame still exists for folks who break the build?
I exists in our hearts. Idk if it exists in reality anymore.
If you want to come to LA and lift with me, you are welcome to. Then again, there's someone in your office that is no slouch.
Also, you do kinda LOOK like spongebob.
