Leaders of diversity. Just the tip. No doesnt always mean no. Girls only. Heck maybe even rape for all we know. What a riot.

That's what I mean by the conspiracy theory thing, this is a situation where we have relatively little insight but the facts available to us paint a reasonable picture. The dude was stalking people that played his champs in the wrong lane and telling customers to kill themselves. He was a giant weirdo. The last person to act that bad was the dude that called Tyler1 a goblin and he also got sacked. Who at Riot is equally retarded on social media and hasn't gotten in trouble?

I misunderstood your sentiment, thinking you were suggesting he not have been fired because countless other Rioters are absolutely loving bananas on social media.

It's far from impossible, or even excessively improbable, that these guys were in fact on their last warning and Riot couldn't give them any more rope without risking a breakdown of discipline. However Even in that charitable reading of the situation, Riot should've known how bad this would look and, at the very least, had a corresponding show of good faith ready to go out in parallel with the news of the firings. At a time when they need to be seen cleaning their house out (and I don't mean of the whistleblowers), they instead spritzed a few weak shots of air freshener around and are trying to pretend it covered up the stench.

every single tech company over a certain employee count has some percent of absolute toxic shitheads like damore et. al. source: I've worked for a lot of them. i haven't paid specific attention to what designer dickhead said, but if he literally was saying "kill yourself" to anyone, he absolutely deserved to be insta-fired on the spot. That poo poo does not fly. edit: to clarify just in case: the fact that it's everywhere does not excuse this sort of behavior at riot or anywhere else, obviously Feisty-Cadaver fucked around with this message at 06:48 on Sep 10, 2018 |

Here's something that isn't sexism in gaming: Borderlands of the Galaxy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaDQB8lOlTk quote:Join the crew of the Morning Star for the Odyssey event in League of Legends, which starts September 12 with patch 8.18 and features Odyssey skins for Kayn, Jinx, Yasuo, Malphite, Sona, and Ziggs. The event will include: They didn't have any of these skins on the PBE so I'm looking forward to some weird bug with the Kayn skin that makes it disabled for 2 weeks RealFoxy fucked around with this message at 13:17 on Sep 10, 2018 |

Which is fine because his creator wanted it to be invisible to determine whether or not you'd go Rhaast or Shadow Kayn in a given game lol

Here's an extremely low-res preview image of the skins and icons: Kayn looks like a loving dweeb and Sona looks like a more green version of the Flatwoods Monster. Malphite's sick, though.

Kayn's aesthetic has always been "trying waaay too hard" and the new skin looks great in motion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9Xi_ZM02j4 I love his dumb ult hologram, Kayn is so fun to play and finally has a skin better than his base

I'm hoping Rhaast still exists as a snarky computer demon or something. So long as the voice acting isn't too zany or Burch-ey I'm down. Also yeah those hologram images own!

As someone who has played a lot of Kayn the holograms are easily the best part of the skin and likely the only reason I'd consider purchasing it.

Dota is probably lovely but a good game. Hots is maybe less lovely but then it's a bad game. Smite is equally lovely and a bad game.

Trailers like this are usually done by places like blur studio, axis animation, digic, and sometimes even weta. The idea is to trick players into thinking it was done by riot or who ever commissioned em. Think every E3 ever. Anyways well find out after a few weeks or months or whenever this event is over who actually did it.

Hi-Rez is really good at making a good game concept and then abandoning it

Smite was the game that kept buying streamers and content creators out over and over and they never once admitted that it was a paid Ad, right? I remember every channel on Rooster Teeth playing it for weeks for no particular reason despite people complaining about every single video That being said it looks super casual and kind of fun for an hour or two at a time
