Hello! I am Nicholas!

[Mortdog @Mortdog]

My time at Riot and on TFT as a Game Designer has come to an end. Just under 10 years, and to be honest I thought it was going to be longer, but sometimes things change.
-------------------------------------------------
I’m so grateful for what I was able to be a small part of, and able to accomplish in the last decade. It���s been a dream career, and I have got to do so much thanks to Riot. Even trying to list it all feels insane what I managed to do in this time. And the crazy 7 years on TFT where I got to design, balance, teach, lead, and more for my job, but then also build a community, stream, cast, go to events…it’s just been amazing. Ending on stuff like the Unlock system and a couple other things…I’m heading out proud.

To everyone I worked with over the years, thank you for letting me be a part of everything we accomplished. I hope I managed to teach you something or bring you joy in some way. I genuinely hope our paths cross again in the future.

To everyone who supported TFT or me over the years, you have no idea what it means to me. I cherish all the moments over the years, and they’ll keep me going. I am so blessed to have been a part of your lives and thank you for letting me bring some fun into your world.
-----------------------------------------------------
So…what’s next for me? I’m trying to figure that out.
First off, since I was on sabbatical and am terrible at relaxing/not working, I have been making my own small indie game. I’m about 2 months into development and have already had folks playtesting some early builds. I’d say the game is like 20-30% done, but my goal is to release it as a full game. It’s been fun keeping my skills sharp in a different space, and I hope to share it with you all someday.

Beyond that, I’m keeping my eyes open for other opportunities. I’ve had a few conversations here and there already during my Sabbatical. It’s a brutal industry right now, so I’m taking one day at a time and figuring out what’s next for me, whether it’s working on another studio’s game or even my own thing.

And I’d love to find a space to do some content creation and be able to share my knowledge of game development. But that may take some time to figure out how to do it right.
-------------------------------------------------------Again, thank you for everything these last 10 years. It’s a big change and I’m nervous but hoping it all works out. Until next time, take it easy!
-Mort

@arshgoyal13 Tbh I do like the choices they made. Biggest thing is I think do jungle and adc first then maybe focus on changing up mid. HOWEVER loki 10x better so I'm so okay with this.

@LiLi_Pupp Where can I get this Stat?

[Nicholas @Gaming_Dutchy]

@Sweetbuttermil3 Legit have been asking this the whole time. When I used to stream I brought a super nice Webcam and it looked like straight garbage. I know it was my fault but I was so confused how people look so good 😂

[Nicholas @Gaming_Dutchy]

@LeagueOfLegends Oh no he's hot 😭😭😭

[Nicholas @Gaming_Dutchy]

@Sweetbuttermil3 okay after seeing your tweets recently I hopped back on apex after like over a year maybe close to two.

The TTK seems so insanely quick now like I feel like I die so fast 😂 has it always been like this or am I just super bad now?

[Nicholas @Gaming_Dutchy]

@valkcy What's insane is legit majority of the haters on that post don't show their faces anywhere on their accounts 😂. Always means they ugly af and just being assholes with confidence cause no one knows them irl or what they look like

Keep being confident and you friend, ignore them!

[Nicholas @Gaming_Dutchy]

@Sweetbuttermil3 oh hey guys... crazy last game huh?

[Nicholas @Gaming_Dutchy]

Also my support Kasante who left lane at 4 minutes and went top lane to lane with my 2/11 Warwick made a way more negative impact on the game lol

[Nicholas @Gaming_Dutchy]

@drewlevin Is Riot able to see that my internet went out for 4 minutes during the game which caused a disconnect? I didn't do anything wrong technically. I know its probably hard to be able to see that for every disconnect. Just stinks when you get this and did nothing wrong.
