I love the fact she gives off major Madame vibes in all her concept art never did they say make her a young person.

This one and the one about capitalism had me dying at work.
Loved this Insight, thanks for writing it
The capitalism one was inspired by talking to my dad who told me to stop spending my money on coffee and invest my $4 per day in something useful after he watched a segment on Fox News about Millennials. Thanks, Dad!
This is top tier comedy. I loved the whole piece. This person's job is well deserved. Also they need a raise.
Lol thank you. Comp time is next month. You see this, Riot? Who do I gotta tag? Nicolo? Marc? Hello? Anyone?
If Renata Glasc was in our world, she’d be investing in crypto while actively manipulating its economy via Twitter. But, thankfully, she’s not in our world—we already have enough of those types.
Hello, based department?

I cannot take credit for this joke, though. My buddy said this to me on Slack one day and it had me rolling so I used it (with his permission)
no harm done. its just a champ insight, not like anyone reads that
😥

Was it more than you bargained for yet?
I've been dying to tell you everything you want to hear.
Love that Panic! reference lmao that's a great song
It was an addition from our incredible new comms strategist!
I second this - sure, it's a bit of a trope, but it's a good one that resonates a lot with people, and there's a hundred and one tropes among League characters anyway. If you sum up champions in a simple sentence, you're going to get some overlap.
I mean, I read literally every single "chosen one" female lead YA fantasy novel that I can find.
Good writing isn't defined by being unique, it's defined by whether or not it resonates with its intended audience.
I wonder why. Is it secret information? I don't see why it would harm Riot but maybe I'm just ignorant! Cheers Cashmiir.
I don't know, tbh. But I am nothing more than a goofy writer who is constantly fighting to say f*ck in my articles. Me big dumb with numbers and business.
Appreciating the Tagalog worddrops all around. I'd suggest people read the Valorant article too, since it also gives some good info on the joined development
I had my Tagalog corrected by the Filipinos at Riot RIG. They were a huge, huge, huge help to me during writing this article (and I know to SkiptoMyLuo while working on Zeri and Neon as well).
Reading about the process behind her story, I realize only now that Zeri sure is a lot like Taliyah - a teenage girl trying to learn to control her elemental gift so that she can help her home community and fight the region's powerful elite
Given that Rell wasn't too long ago and also ended up in a aimilar place, this almost feels like a new habit
Speaking as a woman gamer and not a Rioter, I really like seeing these stories. And to me it's no different than say, like, "big beefy fighter guy from X region/city fighting for power."
I don't know. Darius and Garen are pretty similar in my eyes, and yeah, there are some similarities between Taliyah, Rell, and Zeri. But the stories of young women overcoming aversity are a universal story for many women. Especially for women of color, which the three of them are.
The details of their stories are different and how they react, adapt, and overcome them are different, and speak to different audiences. I didn't grow up in a family or community like Zeri, but I appreciate her love for those around her, and that speaks to me. I didn't get thrown into a school for "gifted" kids and get abused and forced to kill my friends like Rell, but I understand her anger at her painful, past traumas. I didn't get gifted with a magical power to carve stone onl...
Read moreWhat are the stas of LoR?
Unfortunately I don't have access to stats for the company, overall, nor do I think I'd be able to share them if I did. :(
20% of League players play Valorant, but how about the other way around?
What is the stat regarding Valorant players playing League?
Sorry I think I may have miswrote it. It's 20% of Riot Games players iirc. But I can double check!
Oh thank you!

And then of course all of the Champion Insights articles, which often don't have video, unfortunately. It's just much easier for me to get 3 devs in a room and interview them for an hour and then write something than it is to do an entire interview. Especially during COVID! :D
Please do it 🥺 Im very curious on the champion design developments you guys made.
We have released shorter ones in the past! But doing one over time might be tricky since some champion design stuff takes years and years. Definitely something to pitch though! :D
One of these days I need to Riot record a bunch of footage of them doing champ design stuff and release a full on documentary.
It would never happen, but being able to follow a full new champion through start to finish devolpment sounds nerdy and great.
This would be a dream! Time to pitch it to the Editorial team lead. :D

I had a job at Foot Locker, floor sales. Got news of a shipment of new shoes coming in that's rather irregular. Only seen once by each manager, it was so irregular. Usually, shoe supplies are provided on a basis. But light-up sneakers... they sell so rarely that they just refill all at once. 150 pairs, all in one truck.
I learned how to design an RFID spoofer from Google. I called in sick from work one day. Dressed up as an elderly man, makeup and everything. Went into the store, nervous as hell, and used my best rehearsed rasp to demand my manager, who did not recognize me. As he helped me slip on some shoes, holding me close to support me and my "shaky joints," I got the spoofer close enough to his clearance pass.
Then, I asked my manager to go fetch a pair of shoes from the back. While he did so, I furtively put on latex gloves and pulled some old shoes out of my bag. Sometimes, when customers buy n...
Man... What a truly blessed day. A Papaya response.
I have so many questions.
Nah, you using internet explorer? Turbo Mode is old news, we going Ultra Mode now.
f*ck my age is showing
That joke went up in flames.
Don't all of them?
