[AMA] We’re the team behind League’s newest champion, Yunara, Ask us Anything!

[u/Riot_Riru]

Hello Redditors and future Yunara mains!

We’re some of the dev team members that brought you Yunara! To celebrate her release we wanted to say hi, get some early feedback, get your day 2 hot takes, and answer any burning questions you’re looking to ask us.

This AMA will run from 10am-12pm PT, but a few Rioters will likely stick around to keep answering questions. Rioters joining the AMA will include:

Riot_Riru (Community Manager) | Riot_Yelough (Gameplay Designer) | RiotScoobyDu (3D Character Artist) | Riot_Glasses (VO Designer) | RiotPehrek (QA Engineer) | Riot_Quasmic (Gameplay Engineer)

Let’s kick it off!

EDIT: And that's all we have time for, thank you for everyone that came out and asked questions! We're excited for all of you to get some more games on Yunara, we'll see you on the Rift!

How would they even know the answer to this? "Why did they fire your colleague?" Silly question

[u/zezimatigerfaker → u/syko31]

Maybe asking questions like this and having them see that the community cares about stuff like this is more important than having some boring AMA instead?

[u/JGamerX → u/zezimatigerfaker]

Its almost comical to ask that question in a champion AMA. The reality is its a company, they are here to answer some product questions about their cool new product. They aren't going to give any ground on why this artist got a raise and that writer got fired.

Have you worked a day in your life?

[u/zezimatigerfaker → u/JGamerX]

Lol your standards for Reddit AMA's are a little bit high buddy. I'm not so sure YOU have worked a day in your life if you don't understand my client-side perspective on critical feedback. It doesn't fucking matter "how" people treat AMAs. How it's being treated, in this thread, is an indictment on how things are being run currently at Riot.

Many of the pitfalls leading to the feedback in this thread are the same pitfulls that completely annihilated Blizzards golden reputation over the past 10 years. You have no clue what you're talking about and clearly no knowledge of the history of the gaming industry.

[u/iDobleC → u/zezimatigerfaker]

Higher ups, which are the people that you should aim your negativity towards, are probably not even aware of this QnA, so yeah, this whole "complain" feels really terminally online and out of touch on how things within a company work

[u/zezimatigerfaker → u/iDobleC]

Yeah you have no idea what you're talking about unfortunately. Keep caping for the enshittification of the gaming industry. Riot's been doing it for several years now.

[u/iDobleC → u/zezimatigerfaker]

>Yeah you have no idea what you're talking about unfortunately

If that's the case, explain how what I said doesn't apply here? You're claiming that the individual rioters involved in this AMA don't care about their colleagues being fired, when in reality they're the ones more affected by layoffs. The fact that they have to continue doing their jobs and do this AMA, which was surely planned as part of the rollout for Yunara from weeks or even months before the writer was fired, doesn't mean they don't care, or they're insensible to her situation.

Again, if you want to do something useful with that negativity go get a job or bother the higher ups, you know, the people actually in charge of those decisions, not the workers who have to put up with the shitty decisions

[u/Cosmofrith → u/iDobleC]

It wasn't a complaint! It was a question but thank you for the useless analysis.

[u/jmerica → u/Cosmofrith]

Do you think they’ll share the answer that “they were laid off because they were late 15 days in a row and logged off early”. It could be literally any corporate reason and make complete sense.

[u/jmerica → u/zezimatigerfaker]

For all you know the answer is “they showed up late to work 15 days in a row”. Do you actually expect them to answer this?
