How much job experience would you require to get a career, I have about 200 years of collective experience in video game character design, would that be enough?

Recently, we've discovered that actually that's NOT enough. I know, we were shocked too.

Hello Cashmiir! Nice to meet you for what's definitely the very first time ever! ;)

I love sharing my puns with people who can't escape them, so it feels pretty good. My favorite Champ Spotlight video is Neeko's, and my favorite pun is "Neeko Neeko Nii"--I stuck it in as a comment and nobody knew what I meant. "Trust me," I said--"they'll love it. They're all weebs." And I was right!

I do all kinds of technical edits, but the Tech Blog is my main domain. This means sourcing stories, supporting authors, managing stakeholders, providing (typically many) edits, handling staging/publishing, and coordinating with other teams like social.

Did you know that our first interaction was during my writing test when you highlighted my em dash and freaked out?

What I'm saying is that I'm upset you used the evil -- in your response instead of the far superior — . Please respond.

Hello Riot. Question: Do you have a user communication department? If so, why did they choose a strategy of total silence about Wild Rift? People go crazy in forums and chat rooms, only quarrels and disputes. Why not give people at least some information? Perhaps some pictures, concepts, features will do futer player more patient 😁

Heya - i'm not technically part of this AMA but we don't have any news to share right now. your best bet is to follow our twitter account @wildrift to be the first to know when we do have new updates!

u/The_Cactopus What's the least favorite part of your job? Like the mundane part of it and/or the most taxing part

My favorite thing is working on behind-the-scenes projects that take a long time to make and potentially have a big impact (like L10 aka The League 10 Year Anniversary). Those are typically big team projects, so the downside of that is potentially months of meetings, planning, bureaucratic navigation of org structures, etc. So the most meaningful and satisfying work I've ever gotten to do has also been the most painful.

Can you look into why either the Abyssal mask’s or the Sunfire’s effect is not centered on some champions? First comes to mind is Naut.

we offset things one pixel to trigger people

As the official Queen of Puns and Grammar at Riot Games, how does it feel to have a platform to share your love of the highest form of humor with the masses?
In the same vein, which pun are you the most proud of? Alternatively, which Champion Spotlight video has the most puns that you're proud of?
Also, what do you actually do? I know we're on the same team, but I don't understand big tech words. Help me dumb.

The whole idea behind this thread is that there are way more types of jobs in the games industry than you might've realized, and so if you're interested in one day working at Riot or at a place like Riot, feel free to ask the folks listed above about their experiences! Tagging the person you'd like to hear from will help them find your question.

UPDATE 4:40PM PST: The AMA has "officially" ended, although a few of us may choose to stick around answering questions! This has been incredibly fun, and all of us enjoyed responding so much. I did a manual count and counted over 350 responses from the AMA participants. Thanks so much for coming with so many great questions!


Riot has 2,500+ employees and contract workers with really cool and valuable jobs: copyright lawyers, space planners, security experts... Most never get to interact with players. We wanna change that. So today's AMA features a number of people who don't normally get to talk to players. Some of these folks are full-time Rioters, and some of them are contract workers. All of them work at Riot Games and are crucial to helping bring you the game(s) you love.

The AMA will be split into two sessions, with the first group joining us from 10:30am–12:30pm PT, and the second group answering questions from 2:30pm–4:30pm PT!

But afaik it doesn't count as a proc for the purposes of Phase Rush or Electrocute, correct?

This makes the inconsistency even more apparent.

It may do (unless specifically special cased to not do).

Series promos are the f**king worst they make me want to play normals instead of ranked (sadly the kr server doesn't have norms). How is fun to be in the final game of your promos and only to lose because someone afks and now you have to start all over again.

how tf does the server not have normals? where do the new players play then? i remember Faker saying he played thousands of normals before his first ranked game

Taliyah's Q will only proc Dark Harvest if it's initiated AFTER the target is already below 50% HP. If they're at 51%, and the first rock hits, none of the remaining four rocks will trigger it.

Don't think this one is true. Each instance of damage asks the rune "is the target below 50% HP?"
