Jared Polis: Community Congressman

Riot·Apr 24, 2015·7 votes·75,918 views

You may remember Congressman Jared Polis from a few years back when he hopped on our forums to talk about SOPA/PIPA. As an avid gamer since childhood, he brings his unique perspective on how different legislation could potentially impact gamers.

When he's not representing Colorado’s 2nd congressional district on Capitol Hill, however, Congressman Polis takes time to unwind with his favorite champions in League of Legends: Maokai and Anivia.

Am i the only one who half thinks this League thing has gone too far, but then half giggled so much at his introduction im kinda okay with it? Can you imagine obama? "Hi i'm the president of the United States and i main Riven." and the whole world cringes...

I dunno. Think mid-laners are more presidential material. Top laners would be like, secretary of state.

Hilary mains Karthus, because no matter how many times you kill her with a scandal she still comes back...or there is Anivia and Aatrox too.

Nah, AD Carries are the real presidents. They are the figureheads of the team - they blame others for everything that goes wrong and take credit for everything that goes well... Just like Uncle Sam!

Unless they feed, then its like JFK and bay of pigs. It takes great social skills for the team to not hate them.

I would vote for a president who mains support or jungle. Willing to take everyone's abuse and still get the job done? Sounds presidential to me.

Mid = President (Shotcaller.) ADC = Congress (Carries hard.) Support = Secret Service (Helps people not die.) Jungler = Supreme Court (Makes plays/objective driven.) Top = Secretary of Agriculture/State (Farming/Teleport into foreign affairs.)

I summed up the video for you guys.

After a hard day at work passing bills; Congressman Jared Polis likes to kick back, smoke some weed, and play some league of legends just like everybody else.

"as a person in Congress that understands the experience and wants to protect it" - I love you for this. Even if you didn't want to protect it, understanding feels like somewhere fewer and fewer are willing to go before casting judgement. You hit me in the feels today Congressman.

I'm all for Congress playing League of Legends. Maybe the first steps to an actual Institute of War.

they are good acts until you look into them. they would have shut down a lot of things that are actually good. he talked about it a little in the video. he wanted to propose a new idea along the same lines but that wouldn't hurt companies like rito. im not sure if his ideas passed or not
