My time (my time) is up. Today is my last day full-time on 2XKO.
I’m feeling a lot of feelings, but they’re nothing but positive. I joined Riot as a Game Designer 2 years ago this month, and my time working on 2XKO has been one of the highlights of my life. I have a rule not to fall in love with my job, but I couldn't help myself. I love this game, I love the players, and I love the work. The game’s progress from there to now is still wild to me. Most games never have an opportunity to become great, and I can confidently say 2XKO is my favorite game of all time.
To the players, I wish you nothing but joy as you continue to play, whether that’s this year with Lux or Samira, or 5 years in the future when you want to mash buttons. I’ll be right there with you. If that’s not you – hey, no sweat, let’s get a drink at the next major. You’ve all made these past 2 years the best of my life, and there’s no better group of players I’d rather work for.
I start a new job at Riftbound tomorrow. Filling the hole in my heart left by 2XKO will take time, but continuing to work for players is how it will happen.
It’s been an honor to serve you. You've all been wonderful, truly. I'll miss this more than you can ever imagine. See you for another patch rundown before I fade away.
Thank you, and ggs

Something I’ll miss about this job is putting out new content and watching our game be pushed to its highest limits.
Never a dull day at the office with this SKD guy dropping generational bombos.
