Surprising, you guys grew quite a bit.
Super cool that it's a career path & admirable work by your team & leads to legitimize it.
Big agree

There was a Riot vs Streeamer event once. LoL, Valorant, TFT, the works. Riot brought their top tier team for each game and demolished the streamers that were usually somewhat good at one of the games.
I guess their LoL roster had the highest rated internal LoL players.
Undercity Nights, a celebration of the release of season 1 of Arcane, one of my fondest memories. You can see the VOD of the Rioter matchups on Day 2 https://www.youtube.com/live/bcMk4DXCeUE?si=4UcSPCvoISui6G0B
They're not contractors. They're full-time Riot employees.
Most are full time Riot employees. Occasionally there are contractors that help out the team as well, currently there are some. At the time of that articles writing I think there were none? could be wrong on that. Way back (like 10+ years ago) all of the team was contract, but that changed awhile ago. Game Analyst is a career track at Riot Games.
Curious do you talk a little shit at work or mention that ever? Seems like very fun workplace banter being better than all your coworkers
Its generally all in good fun, usually everyone is supportive of each others climbs.
Only exception is if we get matched against each other for a game LOL. The only smack talk is if we set a challenge for each other like who can climb the most LP in X time or something like that. Or during Riot Rumble, our internal tournament.
WICK MENTIONED
Wickjkr greeting his wicks (his fans)
Auberon used to be GM/chall idk if he plays anymore
Still plays, just under a different ign. A lot of rioters don't "Riotize" their name out of personal preference, or they change their name occasionally.
This is the only Rioter I recognize from higher elos
:D
#KRKL sent my sides to orbit
They wear Costco merch everyday no meme. Committed to the bit
I don't know if we have any "current" challengers, but I know for sure we have some current GMs and some past challengers.
Unsure about who the highest rank is!
We have one current Challenger who works with Riot https://www.op.gg/summoners/na/Isolde-NA1
(They approved me posting them here)
It kinda is.To the best of my knowledge those were only ever given to the League dev team and some associated other teams at Riot.
Yep I just checked my jacket in the closet and it matches. Internal swag from the 2021 Coven skinline release.
Can't speak to your specific example but the vast majority of players don't tailor their runes to the specific matchup or situation, and rune recommender ends up doing most of the work for most players. High elo players are much more likely to modify their rune page between each game as well as select more "optimal" choices. Often these optimal choices also require extra effort (weaving in attacks in lane for constant Aery procs for example) that most players either don't want to do or simply would not be able to execute on successfully to the point that the rune selection would become optimal.
There is also just a bit of a different meta at different ranks, often influenced by a small handful of one-tricks or dedicated mains in high elo. In GM+ you might literally just be looking at one or two player's builds on certain champions.
Other thing...I always get D- after a game no matter what and Challenges aren't showing up.
Yep we have a fix for that one coming soon. Nice catch
The gold numbers are weird in the scoreboard
Yeah should be fixed in the next few days. Appreciate it
Not a single person in my friend group enjoys the lack of champion select.
The description they have "play with friends with (riot forgot a word) different skill levels without the fear of falling too far behind" describes exactly what we were looking for. No part of that requires choosing runes before knowing matchups.
We should be the perfect group that this mode is made for. We play casually for fun without caring too much about winning, and some players are much lower skilled than others. Even the lowest ranked player wants to know their matchup before picking runes and summoners.
Quickplay failed because all it really was was a change to lobby / champion select that didn't actually improve quality of games, just got you in faster. Swiftplay already has sped up gameplay. We don't need to be skipping champion select so that we can get into a worse game a few minutes faster.
Appreciate the report about the missing word, will look into it
Swiftplay is now available to play on PBE. Swiftplay is a faster-paced game mode that includes changes to the standard ruleset for a faster pace of play. Check it out!
Bug Reports and feedback is greatly appreciated for everyone trying out this mode, let us know here!
External link →Now that I think about it. Can riot buff Sion without fearing Baus? Is Sion Baus-jailed similar to other champs being pro-jailed?
We do not fear Baus directly but his playstyle and builds do tend to spread pretty fast. If they are degenerate play patterns (i.e. old inting Sion which I think is what prompted the structure damage nerf) that can cause it to be on our radar.
is yuumi intended to buy boots..?
its intended to be a player choice, if it wasn't we would lock her out of buying them. Which is I suppose an option but not something we are actively exploring
Read moreAbout the Elixir restrictions thing:
Elixirs still replaced each other if you activated them. You could still have one of each in your inventory, but you couldn't have more than one of any individual Elixir in your inventory. It also didn't prevent you from rebuying an elixir that was already active
I suspect it was a leftover from the tested Endless Elixirs rune ("elixirs can be stacked and do not expire") requiring you to be limited to one of each Elixir type. Item exclusion rules like this are handled by assigning items to a "group", and one of the many features of a group is the ability to limit you to a set number of items from that group at once (usually just one).
However, groups can also have their limits overridden by scripts (this is how Cassio passive locks her out of boots, by setting her Boots limit to zero, as well as when Arena had an augment allowing any number of Mythic items, by setting the Mythic item group limit to six). I imagine Rio...
Your theories on Elixirs are largely correct
How does the new Ward runes works with Fiddlesticks passive? Like Deep Ward/Grisly Mementos
Fiddle gets swapped off of Deep Ward if he tries to take it. Grisly Mementos will reduce the CD on his effigy
Bug: Inconsistence proccing of Bloodletter's Curse
As far as I know, these can grant stacks while they are not supposed to, according to the gray clarifying text (haven't tested imperial mandate yet cause all my friends are asleep so I can't try):
Comet (weirdly enough, only proc when you are outside of like 800 range based of my eyeballing)
Luden's Companion (but only if there is a champion nearby the original target)
Press the attack's 3rd hit
Lethal tempo maxed stack
Electrocute
Shield bash
Dark Harvest
Grasp
AftershockAnd aside from that, Teemo shroom DoT cannot proc it. Idk about other champions tho
We'll look into it, thank you
