Writers on the champions
Hi all, some of you may know me as the guy who created the massive post the listed who the designers are on the champions team and what they're currently working. Now this isn't the entire lore team at Riot, these are only the people who work side by side designers and artists on champs, there are plenty more writers on the Worldbuilding team and people can swap teams. Today I'd like to spend some time chatting about the writers on the champions team, they are in charge of the narrative direction of League's new champs and VGUs. But what exactly do they do? For starters they write the champion's biography and color story as well as their VOs, and essentially think of how a champion might behave and act, they can go pretty in depth. To my knowledge there are currently 5 writers on the champions team and some of their works:
John "JohnODyin" O'Bryan. He was the writer Galio, Yorick, Poppy, Evelynn, Ryze and is working on Irelia's lore. He also was a writer on Avatar the Last Airbender, Motorcity and Randy Cunningham 9th grade Ninja
Michael "CoolRadius" McCarthy. He has only written for Kayn and Rhaast so far. But he's had experience as a writer at EA on the Medal of Honor series
Matt "FauxSchizzle" Dunn. He's the writer Xayah, Ornn, Ivern, Kindred, Ekko, and Aurelion Sol.
Ariel "ThermalKittens" Lawrence. She's the writer on Camille, Taliyah, Lee Sin, and the Star Guardians and PROJECT skin stories
Odin "WAAAARGHbobo" Austin Shafer. Writer Illaoi, Tahm Kench, Jhin, Kled, Rakan and Zoe and currently writing some stuff for Aatrox.
And David "Interlocutioner" Slagle. Writer on Warwick, Swain, Urgot, and some scrapped Singed lore.
