League of Legends Dev Tracker

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!

not TOO much because he's actually a very nice guy

tagging u/draggles so he can apologize personally

this message was threatening even without the questionable spelling of "mail"

not valuable enough to ever stop getting memed on lul

You're in the afternoon session! I will ask you appropriately softball questions at your allotted time!!!!!! Also, let's get coffee soon.

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.

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.

yeah, im just 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!

someone told me I was doing my best to earn Michelin stars with my Yasuo play

I couldn't even be mad

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

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

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

Luden's echo proc damage is (for some reason) scripted to behave like a spell. Thus, it procs DH. If it wasn't scripted as a spell, it would not. I'm addition, it would also not apply Liandry's burn, Rylai's slow etc, which (while consistent and IMO the correct call) has significant knock ons for many champs if we changed that right now.

I agree the lack of consistently is annoying.

That's fair - I didn't back this up with anything other than "we didn't do what that tweet said we did". I provided no evidence because I don't have proof of things we didn't do, but stay tuned and we'll share more of our plans and what we intend to do to make the system more fair and transparent moving forward

working on a vfx pass to make it more noticable

This already happens, you just have to pick Morde and press R
