Small point of feedback: while I liked seeing all the coffee transitions, felt a bit like too many? Idk if that's just me being nit picky cause I know you did it in between each question/point. It just felt like there were too many.
That's great feedback and we will 100% take it into consideration! I appreciate it! :D
So you guys are basically an internal agency for the other riot teams to call on when they need your services right
Ya! Except we come up with a lot of our own ideas and approach the teams to create them alongside them. But occasionally they come to us with requests that we help out on.
So since itβs riot wide is the rework dropping on wildrift the same time as pc?
The Editorial Content Team--the team that makes videos like this (and lol pls and Season Start)--is Riot-wide. The champion updates are not. Sorry for confusion!
I personally really liked this video. It felt really polished way to get across a small bite sized dev thought, not to mention the hype it gave for Asol CGU.
We really need more dev content like this. League is a massive game, it deserves to shine this way, the devs deserve to be better represented in the work they're doing.
Thanks! We're experimenting with some new video formats. Glad you like this one!
We definitely want the devs to speak more, and this is one way of doing that!
Oh shit Riot wide eh? That's crazy to be fair. Knowing the communities for each game and what comes with that (the memes, language, game knowledge etc...) must be a cool challenge. Prior to you telling me that there is one team handling comms/content for Riots' Games holistically, one could've safely deduced that each game has their own "localized" team.
It's a fun challenge! I play all of Riot's games, though. And our team does as well for the most part.
So each game/product has their own mini community team, with a lead, community managers, social media folks, influencer managers, etc. You get the idea. But the team that actively creates this content is central because our work is super niche!
I love content like this. The behind the scenes Irelia, Morde, & Panth rework videos were amazing. Would love a more consistent strategy when it comes to pushing out content of this nature.
Thanks! So to pull the curtain back a little (get outta here RiotAether don't DM me on Slack ty), the team that handles this type of video content (the team I'm on, which also includes written content like Champ Insights) has ramped up a lot in terms of size and scalability. But we are a Riot-wide team, meaning we handle all of Riot's games and products like music.
All of this is to say, we're working on itTM
But we also need to work on other games ;)
/u/Cashmiir Do the next one at noms. I want someone to explain a new syndra ultimate using meatballs as props.
π€
do you even work here anymore???
I thought Stashu was working on this rework though?
Rob is ASol's producer!
phrasing
...unless?
jk I'm sorry Rob
Cashmiir whoever came up with the title is SPEAKING MY LANGUAGE.

It was a joint effort, but our visual designer Tee (y'all might remember her as Mom Cat from patch notes past) came up with the final!
This same Rioter was playing around with an Asol rework years ago as a personal project. I wonder if it will be somewhat similar.
Passive: Something like his current E active that activates after moving straight for a while kind of like Taliyah? Except you have full control of him like Kayn wall walking.
Q: Stand in one spot and breath fire. It follows your cursor and costs mana per second to continue spewing fire. Leaves a burning trail in its wake. Idk what that trail does yet. BTW you can use this ability on towers because star fire melts them in my head and A Sol has a line or something about not caring about them.
W: Live R but resized and re-balanced to be a basic ability. So basically a rectangular Syndra E. :)
E: Create a star at target location that fades away after X amount of seconds. The star can be overloaded by casting Q/W on it causing it to explode and stun people caught in it after a brief delay (E->W them into the star and then burn them with Q).
R: Create a blackhole at target location that grows in size over time (max size after 3 seconds maybe for a size as large as Nunu ult). Enemies in it while it grows are slowed. Reactivating the ability collapses it and pulls everybody and all stars to the center also making them explode.
This is that Rioter in the video π
He is an ASol lover
and BelβVeth, the monstrous manta mommy Void Empress.
Riot is as horny as it's fanbase

So thats why you guys dont publish concept art anymore
We still publish it!
Never forget Darkin Sett
Y'all going to make me live to regret publishing that concept art.
Better Rioter Wins
It wasn't me, ya goob
Been playing since Caitlyn's release, never played with a Rioter.
Then in 2019, became a Rioter. So uh that's how I fixed that problem I guess!
(Hi Marty!)
Yeah I also had never played with a Rioter and have been playing since Season 2. Then in my first few weeks as a Rioter I got one on my team.
And since then I've been matched against coworkers. I like to shit talk them in slack as the game happens.
Are you perhaps also a connoisseur of sweaters as well?
Nah LA too hot
I heard that Reav3 wears the freshest clothes, eats at the chillest restaurants and hangs out with the hottest dudes. I can only dream to one day be half the man he is.
do you need me to write anything else? π¦π«
Some say he has a 10-foot vertical leap, but I've never seen it.
May I ask if you are Lexical? and who will continue the champ roadmaps?
I'm not. I'm Riot Cashmiir and sometimes I write cursed Shaco fan fiction with Riot Phlox.
I work with folks like Reav3, Lexical, and other devs to help make their words good.
Looks like you are at gun point m8, blink twice if you need help..
lmao nah legit I have nothing but respect for the man and I've enjoyed working with him over the years. He's passionate about the community and about League, and he's a true delight to work with.
We also have similar senses of humor so his jokes always get me
