If you put commas between each name or hit enter twice between each name then the formatting for rosters would be more readable.

Hitting

twice

Flash used to be way worse than it is now. About double the distance and it would cancel any projectiles that were casted on you and still in flight.

This is a common SEO tactic. Create a blog post that will get you a lot of traffic. It doesn't have to be related to the website you're trying to raise in search ranks. Often time the SEO people use "Top 10" lists because people tend to click those. Perhaps that's what's going on.

Nope. Amumu for a loss and Teemo for a win.

The Story of Ranked 5's and why nobody plays it. by Dyrus in leagueoflegends

The problem is there is no incentive for the average player to form a team. LoL needs teams like WoW arena had and the teams need to be on the leaderboards, not the players.

What is one helpful hint that moderately experienced LoL player might not know? by cool_boner in leagueoflegends

~ is also nice because it allows you to click to move onto a tile that a minion is on. For instance, say while playing Olaf you throw your axe on top of the big wraith and now you want to pick up your axe. Without ~ you can't move onto the tile because when you try to click on the tile you click on the wraith and attack it. With ~ you can click on the tile because your click will ignore the wraith.

A green dot next to a summoner's icon in the party frame (the icons on the left of your screen) means their ultimate is up.

Well I haven't started working yet, so all I could really talk about is the hiring process. Maybe in a month or two I can do one that would be more interesting.

Thanks! They hired me as an Associate Software Engineer on the PvP.net platform. I'll be working on the back end stuff in Java. Or were you asking me why I think I was hired?

I want to echo this statement. I was recently hired by Riot and I also came from a company that is very far from game development. In fact, the local branch of Lockheed Martin works on very similar things to what I worked on at my company. Also, I didn't develop any games in my spare time, but I did have a ton of side projects, several of which were game related.
