As a woman who works on TFT, I’ve spent tonight reading things about my own community that make me want to put my fist through a wall.
Let’s be clear about what happened here. Women said they were hurt…and the response from parts of this community was to laugh, to relitigate, to demand receipts, to treat “was she uncomfortable” as an interesting debate topic. It isn’t and never was.
Women build this game. Women play this game, millions of them. Millions. And the message being sent today is that you’re welcome here right up until the moment you say something happened to you.
To the men reading this: your silence is a position. It is not neutral. It has never been neutral. Every time you let it slide in a lobby, in a Discord, in a group chat, in a reply…you encourage this behavior. It cannot keep being women’s full-time job to explain why they’d like to not be harassed.
To Emily and to every woman who spoke up and got buried for it: I see you. You told the truth even when it was hard and people were absolutely horrible. Thank you for all your courage in speaking up.
If anyone is ever at an event and something feels off, find me. Find any of us. You are not overreacting, you are not being dramatic. You have people in your corner.
@tftguidesgg Does everyone need to have a doc with full receipts before they’re allowed to voice their discomfort with someone’s behavior?? I don’t think they’re trying to “dunk” on hermano’s defenders they’re genuinely upset about how people tried to call these patterns a nothingburger

It's been 24 hours, and the outpouring of support to my announcement means everything to me. You have no idea. Thank you for your kind words. It makes me want to find a new way to keep being a positive force in gaming.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for playing <3
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!

picking winners on 6/15!!
GOOD LUCK!!
This Ezreal unit might be the real deal, bro consistently outdamaged both jhin 2 and vex 2, if you get him stacking long enough his drones will literally double his damage late. If you natural an early ez 2 consider rolling for him even if he's the only 1 cost you're looking for
To celebrate the start of set 17 I will be giving away 5 chibi xayah codes thanks to RIOT GAMES!

@Mortdog Don’t have a video and haven’t seen it mentioned but I found a bug where if you put thresh’s lantern on a 3 star unit, the unit that’s pulled in also has a 3 star spell effect, so having a 5 cost on bench effectively wins you the game
MASSIVE Tahm Kench bug on TFT PBE: if you emote (opponent used Ctrl+1 but it also worked with Ctrl+3) while TK is on your board, he instantly spits out a reward. You can spam this an infinite amount of times as early as stage 2 if you hit him on level 5
Primordian Reroll ft. Cho Bidem
•Roll on 6, hit Cho/Briar/Rek'sai with 3 Primo, NOVA effect too important for Akali dmg to stay 5
• Play any NOVA unit until you hit, add Kai'sa/Kindred at 7/8
•Akali jumps around the board like Set 16 Qiyana, EON very important in late game
🧵 Brainstormed some TFT Set 17 Reroll comps before PBE goes out bc this is always the most fun part of a set for me! These revolve around all 3 MF forms as well as a Primordial reroll board. Depending on any changes to the units before PBE the primary carries may differ.
Challenger Reroll
• Diana primary, MF/Urgot secondary depending on items, util on other
• QSS > Titans on this board d/t Akali NOVA effect + Challengers want to end fights fast
• Challenger breakpoints are 2/3/4/5 instead of 2/4/6 like before, add Kindred on 8
