Riotrepertoir should be Riot's Community Manager

He should be in charge of interacting directly with the community. He seems to be the only rioter that actually WANTS to be in the community so there is no reason he cant be the gateway to Riot.

None have posted as much in the past 2 months as Riotrepertoir has in the past 2 weeks.

Fuuny, people said the EXACT same thing about IronStylus. That didn't last long either.

Who cares talking to the community and changing champs due to feedback for a few weeks is better than someone who won't talk at all

Jaerdan interacted a LOT with the community on lore during the event.

Nah, he's too good at what he does to be reassigned.

I think its more like all of riot should be like him. Just imagine all your reasonable questions are answered.

Even more so without some ridiculous monologue that is obviously created by a group of politicians.

Oh my god are you serious? Apart from how wrong that is, can you blame any of them if that were true? These boards are a cesspool of whining that direct everything at riot, and despite efforts to communicate they still get harassed and told they don't communicate anyway.

Because they don't. There is no transparency with what they are doing ever on the boards. Riotrepertoir has been the only one to tell us what his recommendations are, take feedback from the community, and engage with what the community is thinking to make it better. Even if it's not in the Garren rework he is there chatting about it.

There're people who likes and do communication better, but I respect all Rioters.

I respect them all too but he has responded to alot of posts vs everyone else.

I'm definitely not a substitute for what any Rioter would know on the subject, but I don't think the concept of a community manager would really fit in well with the Riot culture. They seem to pretty much seem to want all Rioters to interact with the community in whatever fashion they themselves believe prudent. Having some guy in charge of deciding who gets to say what and how and when kind of muddles that relationship the we should have with the Rioters.

So by all means, like the guy and talk with him and treat him like an awesome person, but don't go around saying he is somehow the better of other Rioters in comparison, because that's just kind of disrespectful to everyone who works behind the scenes.

The thing about him is that he seems to be taking way more community feedback than most of the other Rioters that ive seen. The others might post once on a post once a week. But he posts atleast 2 on every post he comments on and socializes with the community.

Its this kind of Transparency that Riot needs. The problem that the community is having with Riot is that they arent relaying anything back to the community. None of the ideas seem to get anywhere. The last Idea that ive seen actually implemented is the size of viegar's ult scaling with his AP. That's also the last post ive seen the same Rioter post multiple times chatting back and forth with the community about an idea (what is good and what is bad) before Riotrepertoir has come along.
