Yeah, this article is there just for Riot to cop out every time someone tries to bring up the MMR <-> Rank dissonance.

Hey folks! Pick URF is back in town!
There have been no major systems changes to URF since the last run earlier this year, and only one roster change: new Fiddlesticks!
As always, please leave any questions or feedback below, and have fun!
External link →Feels disingenious towards the tons people who had/have to work in Riots toxic environment.
I don't make the comment to diminish the experiences of people who have had poor experiences at Riot, simply that you will always hear more about the poor experiences than the good ones.
Honestly as much of a bad rep as Riot's work environment gets on Reddit I can't imagine it isn't immensely enjoyable for the most part.
I don't want to go off making grandiose public statements but I would say that you should remember selection bias. You rarely hear about when things are going well, only when things are bad.
Like most creative jobs at riot - I would assume.
Trust me when I say that that feeling goes beyond what you would consider creative jobs like art, music etc
Bruh this is the dumbest question, literally everyone would watch, only people saying no are trolls like me

Look we would rather thank you than the cactopus, he'd probably come here with a shitty meme he made in ms paint or something
I made this in mspaint
That's a good point, I would never do something like that
Hearing about all the things they couldn't get to work the morning of the show really puts things into perspective. Really makes you wonder what other stuff was planned, but they ultimately couldn't get it to work in time.
There weren't too many other things tbh! There was some on-screen graphics we killed just due to time but nothing day-of. I think in the end for all that worrying and stress the only thing that didn't happen was a lighting cue ^_^;
Wouldn't have happened without you all keeping this 'dead game' running!
Is there something you ever wanted to do but it never could be done, e.g. because it would not fit or the budged wasn't there?
Not exactly because of budget but wanted to (and also thought it was a cool idea) if we could have wind tunnels blast air at the crowd when Yasuo throws the tornado. Obviously it wouldn't work with the hung holonets but Justin and I decided to jokingly mention it to Nick while he was on his lunch, then ran away. I was positive he was going to leap over the table and hunt us down lmao
How long does it take for your team to pull off this kind of event? Do after Worlds 2019 you go right back to the drawing board for Worlds 2020?
It usually does take a full 10 months of us thinking/producing this to bring it to life. A lot of R&D and pure ideation/brainstorming time. We take a small break after the show, u/Riot_Doublebook usually rolls right into stuff like All Stars right after!
We did hit the drawing board pretty early on for 2020 which you can see at the end there!
I saw something like that in that on the whiteboard on your new video. Was everything on that whiteboard jokes?
Not all of it! We were shooting a little b-roll but then we actually started having a creative brainstorm session so it was an actual meeting! But obviously we can't reveal anything so we threw in some silly gags
With so many ideas, opinions and artists how do you decide what route is the best way to go?
This is a great question~ With all creative things we usually start way way blue sky with some wacky ideas and just ask ourselves 'What would make this the coolest experience possible?' From there we start to work out the show flow, which sometimes sparks new ideas or kills older ones that won't quite work. Then there's constraints like time, budget, does even enough of X thing exists for us to do this?! (We ran into this with the projectors! There were only so many in the world) and you just start to whittle away at the idea until you have something everyone feels really excited and happy with. It's a really highly collaborative process and there's no 'wrong ideas' but more a question of 'how much awesome can we get out of this show given all the time and resources we have'
Oh wow thanks for such a detailed answer! I hope you guys know you all are huge inspirations to the live production from PAs to other creative leads!
And I hope you keep continuing to revel up in your career! (I’m assuming your riot name is a reference to Red Velvet and that wasn’t too cheesy)
It's actually a reference to Velvet from Odin Sphere (fav girl & game!!) but I love love Red Velvet
Let's Power up!!
Read moreOh yeah, damn.. forgot we already had a dragon roaring, guess I was more focused on it being digital/on screen and forgot about the sound it produces lol
On the idea of animatronic Baron, if you want to research it, the main thing I was thinking about is to make it huge but not that problematic for transport [I assume that T-Rex was helluva complicated]. The concept I was looking at the most was soft-robotics [relatively fresh technology.. can work both with inflation and strings pulling around] which would basically make him as a sort of an interactive balloon. Welp, Baron is technically a big fat worm [don't tell him this], so I guess that parts of him could be rigid to secure it in place while on other places it could have soft-robotic parts to achieve some fluid animations.. it's almost like that air-dancer thing but with controls
To add to that, I thoug...
I think you just pitched the big WOW moment for this year: Wacky Inflatable Baron.
This is something I never knew I needed until now...
The soft robotics stuff is interesting. I'll have to check that out a bit more. Seems like you could do some pretty cool stuff!
It was my sister's birthday on Saturday before the finals. So I thought that I could just combine both the Finals and a trip to Paris as a present. My sister never understood why I've had spent almost two months worth of salary, especially because I just finished high school and started college. When we were there watching the ceremony she began to understood. She is not into any kind of games but after this event she understood why I am. A few months ago she even took an internship at G2.
Just a little story to emphasize on my questions: Do you know what your work means to the fans watching, if so how do you get feedback (i.e. YouTube comments) and what kind do you enjoy the most (i.e. fan chants)?
This actually makes me so incredibly happy. Thank you very much for your story and congrats to your sister on her internship!
For me, I love hearing the live reactions during the performance. When the first hologram trick happened at the end of Awaken, you could hear a cheer of excitement from the audience. That type of reaction is exactly why we spend so much time trying to make these moments feel special. I'll never forget the gasp from the Beijing audience when the dragon made it's entrance into the Birds Nest.
I love watching reaction videos of people watching the ceremony for the first time. But of course comments like yours are always great ways feedback for us.
