You've described very well why I hate modern journalism.

Everyone is out to make a big story. And if a big story doesn't exist, they will force it into existence. And half the time the story is being pushed to force an agenda.

Like sure, the Kotaku piece was based on some actual issues (though very few people know the actual facts), and it raised some genuine concerns and paved the way for improvements within the gaming industry. That's all good.

But I cannot tolerate that it was achieved by straight up shitting on Riot from every single angle and making it look like all the 4000 employees have a fart sandwich for breakfast and dick pics for lunch and every woman gets groped at the door.

It pisses me off that journalism is 90% over-exeggeration in order to push an agenda, and if that agenda is viewed in a generally positive light, all the collateral damage is just fine and dandy.

I hate how the modern western culture has devolved into somet...

Yikes, I wouldn't trust your subjective experience on the subject if your first words about it are to minimize the reported harassment of others.

I definitely wouldn't trust you to deal with a situation where harassment is taking place, or someone is looking to confide.

Don't pretend you have any idea what is happening in your workplace when you close your eyes to the possibilities.

I did read the Kotaku article at the time, not having heard of the publisher, and the writing definitely had an agenda it was pursuing beyond just reporting and it could have been written better but it didn't take away from the importance of the topic.

However, I seriously wouldn't minimise the incident of farting in someone's face in a work environment to "probably between two friends." Also, it is uncertifiable by the outside public to what extent the link is PR and what is genuine. So it's probably more important to convince peers in the industry, rather than the general public because if every professional can shut down that this behaviour is no longer an issue, it'll change public perception. That said, retaining the COO and him keeping his position will always loom over the company and create scepticism.

I really hope this gains some traction in here, because this is one of the few platforms where Riot actually reads and listens to us(the customers, subscribers, etc.). And if we're able to show them that we care about the environment within their offices, it might just help.

One point I think is important to emphasize was the "why should I care about the game industry, I have it the same way..." perspective. This is so stupid, just because other people are treated like shit doesn't mean we should accept that and let it follow over to this industry too.

Blink twice if you’re being held at gunpoint.

In all seriousness, I’m just curious how long you’ve been working there, and if you’ve heard of other people who’ve dealt with issues at riot.

Are there actual employees interviewed? I feel like I’ve seen enough outside reporting of how terrible Riots been with these issues, but I’d like to see/hear things from people it’s actually affected alittle more.

I know catctopus left for a bit then returned but hes probably in a different role now that can't be speaking to people often. Others have left too.

Right now you are trying to avoid answering to my question and saying something out of context. Dude, wake up. Data science has advanced alot and it can totally catch the pattern that i mentioned above.I dont know if you dont have that skillshot or you are lazy to code. Maybe hire someone competent ? you guys are very slow and incredibly poor at making excuses. Even mobile mobas are more technologically efficient and have features that riot has not even started to think. Check MLBB

maybe the walk out on Monday will bring some fresh changes.

Do you not work for Riot anymore?

really ? is it like difficult to know that when i own 9 out of 11 skins and the 2 left are the oldest ones with lowest quality and I have not bought them despite them being offered to me in almost every Secret Shop, I will never buy it in future also
Are you telling me that in all this data science advancement, Riot team is still coming up with excuses as always like OMG we are already implementing the 101 stuff and now you must wait for 5 years for 102

Is this an OS support issue or a DirectX issue?

Path of Exile did something similar recently and they actually ended DirectX 9 support, including DirectX 9 EX(available on Win7) and that meant the game couldn't be played on all video cards that don't support DirectX 11.

There are a lot of PC/laptops that run Windows 8/10 but on DirectX 9 to 10.1 integrated cards.

Why would the system keep recommending me Dynasty and Midnight Ahri, when I own every other Ahri skin and those two unowned skins are absolute shit and old.
I always play with the latest skin so why would I be interested in an old one. Stop recommending this shit because when I gave 0 f**ks for past 10 times, I would give 0 f**ks for the next 10 times as well i.e. if the game lasts that long

I think combined there is still about 4-5% of people still using both xp and vista.

Originally posted by FinitoHere

Wait, is it really that high? Few months ago, when Riot announced they will end XP/Vista support they also mentioned that XP users are around 1% of playerbase and this number is even lower for Vista users.

At the very least I hope it stirred up some internal discussion! Thanks again for taking the time to elaborate.
