Thanks for your reply!
I'm just the messenger :) I fed this back to our team after I laned against my first Zyra mid in several years on Sylas. That was a painful experience.

Do you think it is intentional or just something overlooked? Miss Fortunes Q for example is also an ability that applies on hit effects and I think it does apply PtA?
I'm not sure on this specific interaction, but the interaction where Petricite Burst doesn't kill summoned minions (Yorick Ghouls, Zyra Plants) in one hit is a bug and will be fixed.
Hi friend,i miss Eambo.
I miss them too :(
If you ever look at code you wrote six months ago and don't cringe at some part of it, you've stopped learning.
Nah, the code I write now is perfect. The guy I was 6 months ago was an idiot and the guy I will be in 6 months is a bit of an arsehole
I'm almost done with my Bachelors degree in IST with a focus on Cyber Security, do you have any recommendations that would make me more likely to get an intern position at Riot's IT team?
I don't have an answer for you specifically for IT, but I was one of the two people on my team who handled the internship program for Application Security in 2017; I have some general advice for you.
The very first thing to do is to make your application stick out. For the internship position, we were interviewing for we had roughly 200 applicants.
About 100 of those were clearly not applying for an internship (i.e they were just sending their CV to every open inbox they could), so we threw those out.
About 20 of the remainder had clearly taken the effort to tailor their application to Riot but were unfortunately not looking to apply for the application security position so much as they wanted to work at Riot, which is admirable, but we really needed an application security engineer intern.
The remaining 80 were a bit harder. Of the 80, we had to remove any that would require a visa to work in Ireland as it's complicated to get a work visa ...

look,
Is there a penetration testing or app sec type role in riot?
Yes, I work in the application security team. We're actually hiring for a Senior Application Security engineer in Dublin right now! https://riotgames.com/careers
In general the appsec role is a wider than just penetration testing, though
@Rioters Is olive garden a good first date?
if your goal is breadsticks, yes, if your goal is a second date, no
Read moreWow! So you had 4 seasons of buffer and it was still an issue. This happened to me right before this recent season started. Sucks that an unfeeling algorithm can actually derail your career opportunities lol especially when I see so much worse behavior and people don't get banned for it. Words are just words, the whole Tencent-minded China policing of what people say is obviously a shitty way the world is moving towards.
As I mentioned, I went through about 3 riot support people who all said "sorry, we cannot lift the 2 week ban" and even after the ban ran out, I tried to get them to reset my honor level and they refused. So the fact that these people couldn't press a few buttons to give me back a meaningless honor level implies that the people making a hiring decision would care even less about the context.
I actually interviewed with Riot about a year ago for one of the Analyst insights positions. I aced the first few interviews and then ran into an Asian dude who...
It's difficult for me to respond to your comment without potentially ending up in some journalists soundbite.
But I feel that being questioned on my 2-week ban was perfectly fair - It takes a lot to get banned for a time period like that. You do not get a 2 week ban on your first offense. It's not like I was perfectly squeaky clean when I joined, either - I was in low diamond, after all - but I hadn't received a formal punishment in 4 years.
What's a good way to get back in touch with them otherwise?
You are more than welcome to attempt to apply to the job posting again. I would, respectfully, recommend you have some introspection on the way that you come across in text. There are things you mentioned in both of your comments that raise a few flags for me, personally.
Thanks for the response! Yeah, I had multiple back and forths with support because I was using an abbreviated phrase that the algorithm blindly picked up as a slur. I was honor level 4 and 2/3rds to honor level 5 so it was annoying having gotten nabbed for that.
I guess it would make sense for me to just apply with my alt account, since the SJW's of the world will probably not want to hire me lol
I was temporarily banned for 2 weeks back in Season 2; I joined Riot in Season 6. It raised eyebrows, but it was pretty clear I had reformed since then.
Riot is not unreasonable and will take context into account. If it's clear it was a mistake on the system, then you have nothing to be worried about.
since the SJW's of the world will probably not want to hire me lol
I definitely would recommend dropping the use of the term 'SJW'. It's almost always used as a slur/pejorative and will not reflect well on you

I would not encourage lying in order to start working at Riot. :)
When applying to Riot, do they do a background check on your summoner name?
I got tagged by the automated algorithm for saying a "naughty" word (wasn't even the actual word, it was an abbreviation that was meant to stand for a different phrase) but I'm worried it will affect my chances at employment
Yes, your account will be checked for toxicity, but if it was a long time ago or something minor, you are probably fine.
Hi
I currently have a job as a lab analyst analyzing water quality for a city.
I would love to join the gaming industry and I’m thinking of going back to school to be able to find my way in.
I’m in my mid 20s and sometimes it feels late. Any words of inspiration you guys could send my way?
I'm not one of the Rioters giving the AMA here, but I'd just like to say that I joined Riot in my mid 20s. You can do it too!
I only do some website coding as a hobby but even I feel personally attacked.
Some days I'm like: "Let me update those few pages I made 5 years ago. Oh wtf is this shit, that's bullshit idiotic nonsense, who wrote this crap. Oh wait... I'm the only one that works on these websites..."
6 months ago aredherring is the enemy of present day aredherring
If you want to come to LA and lift with me, you are welcome to. Then again, there's someone in your office that is no slouch.
Also, you do kinda LOOK like spongebob.

I'll take you up on that when I'm next there!
if i, hypothetically, wanted to get started in lifting, what do
please remember that i have the upper body strength of spongebob.
I recall a moment when we were triaging a bug that was deep within some very very old code. The engineer was frustrated and making some verbal comments about the quality of the code, things like "why would they have done it this way?", "who reviewed this?", "it doesn't make any sense"
After the process of triage and analysis was complete, the engineer decided to scroll up to the top of the file to see who written this bit of code we had been wrestling with.....yeah it was them.
I've decided to change git blame to git toast just so when this happens to me I don't feel so bad
someone told me I was doing my best to earn Michelin stars with my Yasuo play
I couldn't even be mad
Unfortunately, this chaos in communication between teams is visible from the outside. Many things are published and left because they work but not necessarily correctly.Things like this with the League website can be reported somewhere or as a normal player, not have a lot of influence to fix it?
I would like something to be done about it, because probably nobody will fix it for the next 10 years.
While I take your feedback on-board, respectfully, I do not think this is a great example of 'chaos in communication between teams': The specific example you mention is a really minor thing that should probably be fixed but isn't as impactful as a lot of other things the teams that own those products could work on.
You're also making a lot of assumptions that we're using cron to publish posts. Perhaps it's just a really slow jenkins job? Or the cache invalidation period is 5 minutes? You get the idea.
So that's why new League website is still bad designed from backend site. Why new articles are visible for public 5 minutes after publication? On your other pages (garena) news appear earlier than on the real page, because they are using real API. I don't understand who came up with the idea of using cron to create static files instead of updating it at the time of publication. I hope someone fix it.
I don't really know much about that specific thing, but I like to call all-in-one replacements Big Bang replacements. Because that's what tends to happen if you try to release a lot of new things at once.
