100ms? That's a lot, I'm always ~50ms, EU ftw.

Funny story is I often have lower ping to EUW every now and then. At times like that, NA becomes my 3rd ranked server when it comes to ping.

Riot have backup servers in florida I think, that's where the tournament realm used to work and they also used them for the EU server and the Brasil one when needed. I don't know what they use it for now tho

Only Riot servers I know of in Florida are for Latin America North.


Wait, I could get like 10 ping if I played on LA N servers..?

They don't really have a choice?Don't see what is so confusing about situation.They chose to try to get 2nd instead of sending him at same time as seraph to korea.

They don't need to play next week though.

if you live on the east coast of the united states you will get better ping on LAN than you do on NA.

Correct! Also I'm pretty sure Urgot has the wordiest abilities in the game (with his passive, 13-15 depending on hyphenation).

Speaking of all this riot-employee stuff, I'm planning on applying for an engineering position there in the next week or so. I've visited their offices once for an interview to be an intern a few years back, but I didn't have any job experience or anything to show off at the time. Does anyone else here who's interviewed with them have any advice or information they could share?

I thought about Taric but couldn't think of the name of his heal for the lift of me.

Aren't you like a PhD student in computer science?

Pretty sure they don't look for "work experience", since it's an intern position and it's pretty obvious that you don't have anything. You do, however, have a wealth of knowledge. Show them that you are smart, knowledgeable, and a good problem solver who have insights on dealing with Riot's challenges and you will be fine.

Also show them your research. Make sure you can describe your research in a way that a human resource guy with no knowledge in computer science can understand.

is malphite good right now?first time i picked him since s3 just to counter jax and it was easiest lane of my life, i didnt even play well suicided once durin g dive still could bully him entire game, guess multiple nerfs to other toplaners made malphite good again similar how they did with talon

There's been a recent trend in diamond of top lane AP Malphite to one-shot with like DFG/Deathcap/Void. Scarra's been seen doing it.

The worst part of sona isn't that she's miserable now. but that she's also miserable to play. i can get screwing up balance because they wanted to change her. after all riot doesn't play internally at a high level so they can't be sure of drastic changes being a nerf or buff. but someone had to play new sona and think "yeah, this is fun". how that happened is completely unknown to me.


Pretty sure Riot has a shitload of D1/challenger players.

Also it is very easy for them to ask a pro player of theit opinions.


Maybe a handful, but not a "shitload." Phreak, Smash... Tryn, that's all I can think of off the top of my head. At their St. Louis office I know there was one diamond, but he was like low level diamond 5 (and he's no longer there). Anyone want to add to the list, feel free. I'd wager it's fewer than a dozen though, and certainly no more than two dozen. I mean, maybe they lock them in a dungeon for all I know, but based on what I know, it's not many.

Also, the average level of a Riot inhouse is pretty freaking bad. You'd be surprised.

Kobe, Roku, Jatt, Jesse Perring, and a few others off the top of my head are D3 or higher IIRC. Not 100% certain about Jatt but he should be given that he was literally the #1 jungler at one point. Kobe is D1 for sure.

Actually, when they talk about/ show you how messed up their code is, you'll probably have a terrible nosebleed and pass out from the sheer awfulness.

Just gonna leave this here:
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.
