Yo rito I've got an** actuarial sci bachelors'** You need someone to run the** numbers? **

maybe I could calculate how much LP is lost daily and globally by non-AFK players in AFK games without loss prevent

or data mine to see what % of complaints are related to DCs cuz glitchy client-to-game initialization

or analyze how many "attempting to reconnect" messages are received by the servers per hour

or record how many computers are connecting to ranked servers while attempting to run <24 fps or >100 ms for a sustained number of games, perhaps indicating to riot that the average jo is~~ trying to play ranked on hardware with less than minimum specs, despite~~ the best efforts of matchmade players to rescue bad games for players in their company

I'm sure you wouldn't want to hide the numbers I'm sure you want people to know so they can better play the game and understand its inherent flaws

right rito

gimme a job pls I need money item 3400 I lost my** last job **when I told my boss that balance changes have less to do with the feedback of normies who comprise 90% of the userbase and more to do with casters who wanna see svenskeren make a weird cool jg pick or wtv (fingers crossed for atk spd no smite Annie )

pls I haven't eaten in weeks item 2054

Don't forget the ongoing sexism cases coming from RIOT HQ. Can't be an employee there unless you like making lewd derogatory comments to women as well. Its part of the macho culture there.

Where is that coming from?

Journalist for Kotaku I believe was the one who broke the story. Work place issues for toxic "bro culture" I think it was called. Which resulted in the discovery that Riot has forced arbitration and apparently is constantly running Devs in "crunch time."

AAA Gaming companies are not doing a very good job of looking after their employees or consumers nowadays. Then again Players are doing a shit job of being decent human beings.

If Game devs start to unionize soon don't be to surprised. Also should probably support that.

Google it. Its well known. But RIOT tried to enforce NDAs and suing prevention by building into employees contracts.

Great company. Very ethical.

I'm pretty sure those recent cases have been settled, and that there has been compelling progress made in dealing with the issues that exist. It's sad that it had to be corrected in the first place, but it's certainly changing for the better.

No that's just managment, and farting in someone's face. The balance team is locked in a room with meth, smooth jazz, and LSD, plus some lemons.

Why do you think they don’t already have this data ?

But what is the next correct step after said data has been collected?

because Riot seems to have bad habits

as just an example, they mixed a champion's bottom lane ban rate with its mid lane win rate, despite having a severely low pick rate in mid and getting buffed like crazy just before they decided to change it

they've also nerfed champions for having a result in lower divisions and then evening out to 50% by as low as gold, think that some of the most toxic designs in the games are only number problems, and seem to never learn from any problem they've had in the past
