And we're up again! Did we mention we have a free League of Legends Python course? https://t.co/6yPqIioED5

Our website is down for... non-routine maintenance. Thank you for the thousands of DMs, emails, and hand-written letters expressing concern.

Doublelift, what do you want to do after your career as a pro gamer?

@xetrics_burner This endpoint gives locations of each champion each minute: https://t.co/KPXHQIB2xH

[DoransLab @DoransLab]

Interestingly, we see the accuracy of our best models now have gone down quite a bit. We're pretty confident that ARAM-specific champion balancing is the culprit-- the game is fairer now, meaning outcomes are harder to predict just by looking at champions.

[DoransLab @DoransLab]

We have a new and improved ARAM model, trained with the latest data. https://t.co/Fc8GRdeoUN

Coming soon.

From the inception of the Varsity team to the College Championship, it goes without question that @Pluckin_Penguin and @riftdog have made their mark and will be sincerely missed.

We are so proud of you guys for graduating and know you will find success in your future endeavors!

When Half-Life: Alyx arrives tomorrow, we know many of you will want to share your first playthough with friends, so we've published a guide to help tune the game's settings for spectating and streaming before you start. https://t.co/4RS3FytHMD

Really excited about this!! We talked to almost 100 women who have won elected office—everyone from mayors and state representatives to governors and U.S. senators—about what it's like to run for office as a woman.

First installment rolled out just now:

What did you do this summer? At Riot Games, technical interns from around the country spent their summers contributing to #LeagueofLegends and helping build out developer tools. Check out their stories on the #RiotTechBlog! https://t.co/Y6CATfM3SD

A HUGE thank you to Rioter @AdamVenis for giving an amazing talk on matchmaking to the students and mentors here at Doran's Lab yesterday! We're all incredibly grateful for you taking the time out of your schedule to chat with us!

[DoransLab @DoransLab]

Happy Preseason everyone! Excited to see what data awaits us on the new and improved Summoner's Rift!

A Doran's Lab alum has shared his experience in grad school so far in this wonderful chart! Glad to see we've been so helpful!

[DoransLab @DoransLab]

Who would've thought Ezreal and Gangplank were twins? Back with another article highlight--This time we take a look at champion similarity! We plotted each champion using a statistical algorithm in two dimensional representation of a 12 dimensional space: https://t.co/7ZsjvVrGb9
