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

[Tony Chau @SaskioLoL]

The talking stage with a girl is like laning against a new opponent in League of Legends

you load into lane. no data. no opgg. no idea what this person is capable of

level 1 you're just farming

small talk. surface level. "what do you do" "where are you from"
you're not actually listening for the answers
you're watching HOW they answer

fast reply? aggressive player. trades back immediately. likes short trades.

slow reply? freezing the wave towards them. controlling tempo. making YOU walk up.

long message with questions? 3 wave crashing into you. she WANTS interaction.

level 3 you start testing

you throw out something slightly personal. not a full combo. just a Q to see if it lands.

if she trades back? the lane is active. keep going.

if she backs off? she's not ready. paly the wave. try again later.

now you're tracking cooldowns

how long between texts. does she double message. does she leave you on read then come back.

does she initiate or wait for you to walk up every single time.

you're reading every movement for intent

she randomly goes cold? enemy jungler opposite side, play aggressive

she suddenly gets warmer? her jungler is nearby. play safe or accept the 1 v 2

then there's the moment every laner knows

the all in window happens

something shifts. she says something real. drops the act.

shows you what's underneath the trading sequences.

this is the moment you pull the trigger or you don't

and if you don't?

the window closes. the wave resets.

and you go back to farming safely waiting for summoners wondering what would have happened

but if you DO

the lane is never the same, you lose all priority

that first all in changes everything.

the spacing is different. the energy is different. you both know something now.

every interaction after is built on that one commit

some players farm the entire laning phase. never trade. never all in. never take the risk.

and they wonder why they're stuck in the same elo forever

the talking stage isn't about being smooth

it's about reading your lane opponent well enough to know the EXACT moment to go all in

and not being a pussy when the window opens

Study the Saskio way
