First, thank you for such a thoughtful and well said post, this is what makes every single engagement a Dev has mean so much to them and the community. And that’s what Drew set out to do…to get League back to our roots and engage with players directly and show up consistently. To be honest, we had a void in that area for a little bit and the community felt that and knew it too, he wanted to help fill that void. Does that mean he always gets it right, no, and he’d be the first one to say that, but he shows the fuck up time and time again. And that’s taxing it takes a toll, but the passion for players and for League is why he and a number of other Devs show up the way they do for the community. Is it part of their “job” not in the JD but it’s what’s always made Riot/League different than any other developer and it always will be. Because even with hate and rhetoric from folks who would only ever say these things on a social media platform Devs will continue to show up for players. @RiotMeddler , @RiotPabro , August, MLH, Eduardo, Ezra, Chris Roberts, Mireles and countless others are always engaging and making content on their own time to provide those connection point for players. It’s in our DNA because you all have shown it’s what you all love about League through the ups and downs. So will every engagement be perfect, no, but we learn, we adjust and we move forward together. So, NO, this type of hate on social media doesn’t represent the collective community and never will, and it’s why Devs continue to show up for the community in ways that are authentic to them. Thank you again for the kind words, I know they mean a lot to a lot of folks
