A: uwu

B: That sounds dope! Its always cool to hear about the things I don't really know about. Plus, this subreddit is full of people with wide reaching interests, so I feel like hearing from (what sounds like) a diverse group could connect with quite a few people.

C: owo

D: what in your mind is the wildest riot job we haven't heard of?

E: UwU

F: Cactopus AMA when

I'm really, sincerely grateful to y'all for the award. However, I feel that awards like this are biased toward Rioters like me, because communications is my whole job. Meanwhile, there are so many unrecognized Rioters who add huge amounts of value for players—many of whom just don't feel like they have a reason to talk online to players, even though they do a ton to help Riot and League of Legends succeed.

So I have an idea: What if Riot hosts a Reddit AMA featuring "The Rioters You've Never Heard Of." People like Riot's on-campus coffee baristas, copyright lawyers, and digital security experts? We've got some people with really wild jobs. It's not just designers, artists, marketing people, and programmers out here.

Would people be interested in something like that?

Huge congrats to u/captainflowers22, and well-deserved. He's repeatedly shown that he knows how to win the respect of the community. And he's damn good at his day job too!

WHAT DID IT MEAN

just a sort of weird tingly teaser that something unexpected might be coming

at one point we were planning on having the chrissy/elevator/music video scene conclude with a much more clearcut reappearance of the giant white beam, but instead we went with a more subtle fade to white because we didn't want to spoil the fact that we were about to reveal something big

Blizzard suffered a lot of backlash (unjustly imo) to their announcement of Diablo: Immortal, a mobile game

idk it sounds just for devs being tone deaf to get burned for it.

my bias as a guy who works on games is that sometimes i think gamers are a bit too harsh on devs

but uh i understand that others here would maybe not agree with that perspective LOL

how on earth did you not see this coming?

The other way to read it is that we were poking light fun at all the people who got mad about a mobile game being announced. "Aha! We got you. We KNEW you had phones."

My personal perspective is that the phones meme was a wolf in a room. The room was called "mobile game development." We had seen the wolf bite some of our friends. So we tried to use the power of memes to defang the wolf. I think we weren't 100% successful on this one, although people did get a kick out of that line.

The title is misleading. The HoneyFruit is not an item. I have reported this post.

Thank you for your diligence, summoner

How do you even confirm someone is Marc Merrill in an online game? I've only ever seen him in game as Riot Tryndamere, but if someone named MarcMerrill in classic wow I would just rub it off as an impostor.

It was probably him. My dude has multiple characters going in WoW Classic

“Aspires to” ain’t a promise. But it is honest. We’ll see what we can pull off!

We first explained this here: https://nexus.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/2017/12/ask-riot-urf/

Key passage for this convo:

Every time we ran regular URF, we’d see a huge spike of games being played, and then the numbers actually dropped back down to a level that’s lower than it was just before we ran URF.
