There should be an easter egg brolaf buff where every time a barrel ability is used against him it deals -1 dmg with the modifier showing up on status effects for the duration of barrel slow. Something along the lines of Functioning Alcoholic buff.

Wow, Lomar. That goes wayyyyy back. How'd you go from legal to production (I think?) to head of live support?

Howdy Lomar, What was your hardest challenge as a Riot Lawyer and hardest challenge so far as head of Live Support?

P.S. We should play a match together again.

Hey, i know it's weird but i'm desperate, riot perma banned this account for using a map skin... i have no bad report history and it's really unfair, i remember when you said that they are not illegal and it's just for our own joy and that if map skins or custom skins ban happend you can help us correct them... They don't understand and see it as a threat... all my hard work and money are gone cause of one map skin... and player support is not even trying to help me, they just said i used a cheat "wich was actually a map skin program called wooxy something" and i really need your help, if you decide to help, i'll be eternally gratefull, and all the poros in the world will hug you, thanks :D

Hey, Mr. Margulies, what is your work atmosphere like working with Riot employees? More specifically, what types of fun and interesting things might happen daily in the office?

I never post here, but for Lomar I felt compelled. I love your voice acting, though I never knew it. Brolaf is probably one of my favorite legendary skins, and one you never see much of any more, much to my chagrin. Despite that, my question is related more to your humble origins within the company, since others have asked about your journey climbing the ladder.

Without breaching your confidentiality requirements, what was in your opinion the most ridiculous claim (brought by Riot or against) that you litigated or settled, if any, while working at legal?

About how big is the Riot legal office? I can't imagine it's too large.

What bar exam(s), if any, did you have to deal with to work at Riot?

And most importantly, how does a budding young attorney with heart of burning passion for gaming and a smattering of experience in the IP field land a job at Riot? I... uh... ask because a friend of mine...

Sorry to put you through this deposition, but thanks for having a look!

Dear Riot and Lomar, I have an idea suggestion and a question that you might not like but I think I'd go ahead and give it a shot. I have wondered for a bit how would be a good way to boost better players attitude towards each other.

Every Sunday once a week the system would determine a player was good or not during that weeks based on their reports and what happened after their report. Every week the system would send out a mystery gift to those that did not get punished by the tribunal once each week. Those that were punished by the tribunal can not recieve a mystery skin gift for 4 full weeks. Naturally people you would need to play at least 10 games each week and random reports would not effect you. I think this would encourage those that are having positive behavior a huge benefit and reward from the possible skin they might receive each week.

As for my question, how does Riot view Smurfing / Boosting a low elo account to a higher elo? Now I understand the very basic of this discussion via from streamers words and what not. I've been told Smurfing is ban worthy but I am also under the knowledge that it only direct towards who smurf and purposely drop their elos low just to bash in lower elos for their own enjoyment. Because Smurfing has many different ways like Smurfing to go from a Low Elo and to test yourself to see if you can get to your main's elo while try harding every game. As league grows and the average Elo increases, I think Riot should make a concrete post discussing their view on Smurfing to say if it is ban worth or not and what is Actually SMURFING. I've seen people in Bronze/Silver Elo go, "I'm Smurfing from Gold" which is NOT smurfing lol. I mean like high Plat/Diamond playing on an account thats Low Bronzes and climbing the ladder with it.

What do you think of the term un-fun? How often do you in the riot live support section receive emails to un-ban accounts? How does the Live support team react to server crashes? Do you ever get ill-mannered emails do to bugs that cost people matches, or just about bugs or glitches in general? Did you ever think about working somewhere other than Riot Games?

You don't have to answer all my questions, or answer them at all, its Nautilus a problem. Best of luck in the live support group at Riot.
