While I can't speak to where Uber may be at in their own cultural overhaul (I know they had a poo poo show of things last summer like Riot is having now), but the individual Riot has hired is not just some tired old Uber exec or anything. She's a well known academic specializing in organizational operations, and has largely been a positive influence when she's held advisory executive positions.

That Riot has hired her is probably a Good Thing.

That is true.

But they also hired Seyfarth. Everyone got all up in arms about their anti-union history (not why they got hired, guys) and somehow managed to miss that Seyfarth repped the Weinstein Company post-Harvey, NBC post-Lauer, and Brett Favre, among many many other stellar examples.

I'm not excusing any of their other poo poo decisions, just saying that at least for a change they made a good one.

Seyfarth kind of represents everyone in employment matters though. I think they have the biggest labor and employment practice I the country.

maybe the new ryze ult was an attempt to subtly suggest to brandon beck that he should 'realm warp' out of the company, along with up to 4 of his most toxic buddies

The culture at Riot games is like Tryndamere. It just doesnt die no mater how much damage is done to it and the one tricks will spin just spin away to split push way too much of the team gold.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
If you live in NA, you can "recruit" a player that hasn't been online in 2 months and get one of the skins for free, so if you've got old accounts laying around and a friend to play on that account you can pick at least one of them up for free.

Well, "everyone" as long as you're talking company/management side, yeah. (I mostly wanted to make the point that Riot wasn't hiring them for their anti-union expertise, but for their expertise in minimizing consequences to companies for hostile work environments.)

Anyone they hire will rule towards whatever benefits the management the most since management are the ones who are paying them.

A company that rules towards employees wouldnt last long as no company would actually hire them.

allegedly they didnt test this on the PBE which is why it got past testing. the only other time this has happened was with the dark star orianna log in screen and they fixed that pretty fast so i hope they can fix this quickly edit: actually i think this may have happened with super galaxy gnar too, which also wasnt tested on the pbe apparently?

i havent looked at anything for fear of suffering for no reason but from what i understand something about kayns ult or, something? something to do with kayn has a lot of flashing gates.
