We’ve got hotfixes live for ARAM: Mayhem to remove over 450 Ability Augments that weren’t living up to the high-roll, high-fun promise of the mode.

Pandemonium is coming. Embrace your inner demon and prepare to fight.
Season 2 Act I launches on Patch 26.9.

[Matt Leung-Harrison @RiotPhroxzon]

It was really fun to have some transparent discussions with players and get our honest takes back and forth on things, like "why are there frustrating things in games", "whether losers queue is real", etc.

The goal wasn't to win the debates, but more to display some of the thinking around player feedback on certain topics and get honest player feedback!

Hopefully it was entertaining for folks. 😂

Thank you to all Arena players - your dedication and passion towards Arena has been felt, we can't wait to ya'll back in the experience!

[Paul Bellezza @RiotPabro]

Arena is coming back for the remainder of the year!

[Pu Liu @RiotPupulasers]

Thanks to players (especially in China) showing incredible passion for Arena, we're bringing it back! Quick point of clarification - this is not just the rest of this year, but for at least the next 12 months. We're excited to keep improving Arena with your feedback!

[Riot Mort @Mortdog]

TLDR: Rare opportunity!! We're hiring for some Game Designer roles that do not require previous Game Design experience, with a major focus on Critical Thinking, Growth Mindset, and game familiarity. So if you're looking to switch careers, great opportunity!

https://t.co/epfVMJyw9B

Longer Post: With things how they are in the world today, we're excited to open up this rare opportunity, as we're looking for the next batch of future Game Designers to help shape our games.

We're looking for strong analytical thinking skills, deep passion for our games, and a growth mind set to come in and absorb and learn and grow into awesome designers.

I'm personally excited as the last time we did this, we ended up with @kentwuhoo who was working in Finance at the time, but came in as a TFT player and absorbed so much, and is now a Senior Game Designer running our finalization team. This could be you!

On the TFT side, the folks we hire will get to be a part of every single set, helping on Live or Finalization, and acting as experts in TFT mechanics, game feel, balance, and so much more. Working directly with folks like Kent, @Chaemirix , and myself. I might even be your manager!

If you seriously think this is you, and you have a deep interest in TFT and Game Design, make sure you apply fast. Stuff like this will fill up quick, and likely have a ton of applicants. We're hoping to find the right folks to come in and help us continue to make our games great.

Good luck, and I look forward to working with whoever ends up getting these roles :)
