Former League of Legends pro joins Riot as a dev, and it's a step in the right direction

I'm starting to believe in League of Legends again. While I think that 2024 and 2025 have somewhat confused the MOBA's overarching identity, 2026 feels like it could be a much-needed turning point. With League Next - a colossal new update that feels like a sequel - lurking on the horizon, and fewer champions releasing per year as a result of Riot's attempts to really go in and fix the game, it feels like a step in the right direction. Despite major layoffs, however, the company has hired some serious talent over the past few months - including some star-studded additions to its MMO team. The latest addition to the crew, however, is former LCS star turned streamer William 'Meteos' Hartman, who has joined LoL's Gameplay Analysis Team. Read the rest of the story...
