(2019) "I want Riot Games to copyright the moon" - During Aphelios's development cycle, CertainlyT wanted his power level to change based on the phase of the moon IRL. "I want players to go outside, see that it's a full moon and run home to play League"

From QA Analyst @JustNovalas. The copyrighting the moon thing was surely facetious but still hilarious. At one point, CertainlyT wanted Akali to have a special interaction with Nami where she was able to surf Nami's wave. https://twitter.com/JustNovalas/status/1199070029418876928 https://twitter.com/JustNovalas/status/1199056301143117824

On a more endearing note, Novalas wishes he could have partnered with CertainlyT on a project at least once during his Riot tenure citing his sheer impact his words had on him as a fledgling in the industry.

in all honesty, CertainlyT is a huge loss for Riot Games. I can't believe he left. He has made this game much more fun and more popular. I can't imagine the amount of revenue he has singelhandedly brought in as a result of his contributions

He i still at Riot Games, just not working on LoL anymore

Is there a chance he ever returns to LoL? His champions really pushed the boundaries.

It's always possible

CertainlyT is possibly the most fascinating person I've ever met. He has a way of going on these serious-toned abstract tangents in conversations that almost always lead somewhere interesting. He's like a zen master meets gandalf meets Q from star trek. This totally seems like something he'd say that would lead someone into coming up with a brilliant idea.
