Did you know Zileas during your tenure at Blizzard

Yes. We didn’t overlap at Blizzard (even though he even worked on WoW), but we knew the same people and showed up at parties together. He seemed like a smart dude, but I wasn’t that impressed with LoL in the early days. It just seemed like a DOTA clone to me. As I watched LoL grow and grow I realized maybe I had been hasty and there was something really resonating with players and I needed to take a closer look at LoL and Riot. Needless to say, I liked what I saw.
I like working for Zileas a lot. He gives me a lot of latitude, but doesn’t let me get away with bullshit or bad ideas either. I try to lead using a similar philosophy.

The way you tag answers with so many different categories on tumblr is so cute.

I know they are wildly inconsistent and that sometimes it's #leagueoflegends and sometimes it's #league of legends. Maybe I should just give up. Clearly I don't know what I'm doing. But I have this dream that at some point the site has 10,000 answers and people might only want to read the ones about squids, or high-level D&D or maya pyramids.

In my opinion, toxicity became reeeeally big nowadays. WHen Lyte was around, he put more effort to get rid of these players, nowadays it's just seems like you guys don't even fight against toxic behavior.

If one were to take the time to start designing say, a card game, and to start trying to get solid ideas going on the League forum boards... how do you transition that into an application for game design? Slap the cards in the resume? Link some of your successful discussions on the cover letter?

I have been answering more questions on http://askghostcrawler.tumblr.com/

I move some of these questions over to there. For this particular answer, I'll probably post some over the break since I'll have plenty of free time for once. It won't be as easy to ask other Rioters when I don't know an answer, which will reduce my ability to address those topics.

How many competing theories are there answering the question "why don't most players want to support?"

not liking the part where you don't answer questions here anymore.

Based on a lot of feedback, I am shifting answers over to http://askghostcrawler.tumblr.com/

I'll answer questions there that are posed here however.

Just because someone is "playing to win" when they want to duo mid or roaming Singed counterjungle support shouldn't put any burden of proof/flexibility on the rest of the team. If the rest of the team doesn't think it is acceptable most games, the community has spoken.
