The moba those rito guys did after teamfight tactics
oh yeah that's the one with all the funny characters and the lady who says "WELCOME TO SUMMONERS RIFT" yeah it's tight
Thank you so much, it means so much to get such a detailed answer :D
Atm im just a helpdesk tech for a big hospital so experience is definitely what im lacking, but i have managed to get some IT certifications and will be taking classes for webcoding and some other coding types like python and c++ later this year. I also do minor map design and sprite work occasionally for a pokemon fan site(kinda lame ik but i do love it)
I definitely need to get more into design now and start fleshing out stuff to make in the future so that i can start filling out my experience logs like you said
Thank you again cactopus, hopefully one day ill get to where i can join yall 💚
That pokemon thing you just mentioned is NOT lame. It's exactly the sort of thing that a good games company will perk up and pay attention to. Get better at your craft, ship projects with lots of love in them, and be realistic about the level of roles you're applying for. You can go far.
How could I get a Rioter to speak at my school club based in the LA Area?
dm me, i can connect you
What's the air speed velocity of a flying swallow?
Also, more importantly, what is your favorite book related your profession or field?
i think it's 7
also MASTERS OF DOOM is one of the best books ever written about a video game company
For someone who has a goal to one day work in the field(and specifically at riot) in either the design creation/idea side or the actual development side, what would you say is a good metric of being qualified? I know I’m nowhere near that point yet but I wanna learn whatever it takes to get there
Actually legit question, so I'll answer as best I can:
The first thing a recruiter looks for is evidence of credibility. This can be work history at another company, or education credentials, or especially shipped projects. Without one of these three things, it's hard for a recruiter to know whether to take you seriously as a candidate. So if you can't get a job in the field that'll earn you relevant experience, do—and FINISH–a project on your own, and seek an education that'll give you relevant credentials.
Before I joined Riot as a writer, I spent years grinding as a freelance writer, working my way up the ladder in the games media by shipping lots of articles for different websites and magazines. After like six or seven years of that, I had enough experience to consider applying to a place like Riot.
Your experience/mileage may vary, but the best advice I could possibly give would be to get started on shipping projects now, even if it's small and doesn't...
Read moreHow 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.
do they play league of legends?
what's that?
Do you meme on lutzberg with it?
not TOO much because he's actually a very nice guy
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 😁
tagging u/draggles so he can apologize personally

this message was threatening even without the questionable spelling of "mail"
200+ years of experience: how valuable is it?
not valuable enough to ever stop getting memed on lul
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.
Did you delete the post and post ot again or was it a reddit bug?
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!
