Source regarding Riot's stance/stuff they do regarding hackers from one month ago. Direct quote on why Riot doesn't have an in-game report option for hackers/exploiters. Heck look through the first linked comment thread for more info. | ||

Look, if the U.S. government, with all their money and power can't stop their systems from being constantly assaulted, if Apple with their mountains of cash can't prevent celeb nude leaks from iCloud, I really don't see why you expect Riot to be able to prevent their game from being 100% hack/exploit free. Some people make hacks/exploits not just for money, but for the lolz. Plus, it's not like Riot doesn't have a security team. It's more that fact that when it comes to network and computer security, it's a game of cat and mouse. No matter how good your security system is, it will always be broken eventually and you will always have to patch it. | ||

Full timers had full freedom to work from home whenever, provided they send an email the morning of or the night before. I was regularly coming in at 9:30 for a daily scrum meeting and leaving at 4:45-5 with some of the other interns on the team. Not like any one really gave a shit though everyone gets their shit done whether in the lab or at home so the managers just let us do whatever for the most part. I was just playing the world cup games on one of my 3 monitors and had friends in my cube to watch in the middle of the office and my boss ended up watching with us. But you gotta look at the individual teams, the compiler team in the lab is busy as fuck, everyone comes in at 8 and leaves after 5:30 even on Fridays and I'm just cruising it's kind of insane the cultural difference between the teams. That's why I made a special note of it being a Project Manager's perspective. Like, we've seen from our perspective that there seems to be this major disconnect between a lot of the happenings at Riot, right? There's probably a not-negligible bit of confirmation bias on my part, but reading that post and a lot of the comments, it was just like, "Yeah it all makes sense now." It's not like this is the only post ever from a current or former Riot employee that has suggested that their business structure as a whole has not handled the massive population it has experienced, either. I'm not trying to say the sky is fucking falling and they're going to blow up immediately, but the guy just didn't paint a pretty sounding picture, IMO. Also it's worth noting that his edits were not meaningless. He picked out parts about how the all-night Titanfall session led to a ton of people missing an important 9AM meeting, and a Glassdoor review that was apparently well corroborated which mentioned that not attending said 'group activities' has actually been used against employees at reviews, and apparently gotten at least one fired for non-attendance(because god-forbid you want to go home to your wife and kid and not play Titanfall or whatever). There is a lot of stuff buried in the comments of that thread, I was reading it for a long, long time(because I found it all very interesting tbh, especially from my view, which is to say the closest I will ever be to that environment was a couple years working hardware/breakfix IT at a hospital, aka not close at all). | ||

Yea the non-attendance thing sounded like such bullshit to me. My team had like 25 full timers and hired 8 interns for the 16 months I was there, and for about 8 of the 16 months I didn't do anything with my team. I kind of just went to work, did my thing, and left. No one said a thing about it, at least not in a professional context. I started hanging out with the other interns afterwards and it was pretty fun but never did I nor anyone else let it affect their work in anyway (despite how lax management was no one would never dream of missing a meeting, let alone to play a videogame). It all sounds a little chaotic and even frat-ish? | ||

My exact quote in a conversation with Yango earlier: which is in a way a true statement, but it's how a frat house is run not a billion dollar corporation I obviously am not omniscient to the goings on in Riot, but given the aggregate of all I have read about it, that is definitely my take on it. | ||

I'd be pretty salty if not showing up to a party was worked against me at a performance review. "Yeah, you're great at everything, but you missed karaoke night, that really hurts your review..." | ||

Ok, I'm holding you up to the highest standard available for human thought from here on. The verdict isn't looking very good right now. | ||

Wonder if it's cause you're high level (dunno what your main is at) and you stomping the other team causes people to get angrier than they would be normally leading to afk's? I think I've only had like 2 legitimate AFK's in 100 games, maybe a couple more due to shitty internet/DCs | ||
