We’re looking for a Game Designer to join the VALORANT team! This is a rare chance for mid-career professionals to jump into game dev (no prior design experience required) - just excellent problem solving skills and a deep passion for the game. riotgames.com/en/work-with-u…

TLDR: Rare opportunity!! We're hiring for some Game Designer roles that do not require previous Game Design experience, with a major focus on Critical Thinking, Growth Mindset, and game familiarity. So if you're looking to switch careers, great opportunity! riotgames.com/en/work-with-u… Longer Post: With things how they are in the world today, we're excited to open up this rare opportunity, as we're looking for the next batch of future Game Designers to help shape our games. We're looking for strong analytical thinking skills, deep passion for our games, and a growth mind set to come in and absorb and learn and grow into awesome designers. I'm personally excited as the last time we did this, we ended up with @kentwuhoo who was working in Finance at the time, but came in as a TFT player and absorbed so much, and is now a Senior Game Designer running our finalization team. This could be you! On the TFT side, the folks we hire will get to be a part of every single set, helping on Live or Finalization, and acting as experts in TFT mechanics, game feel, balance, and so much more. Working directly with folks like Kent, @Chaemirix , and myself. I might even be your manager! If you seriously think this is you, and you have a deep interest in TFT and Game Design, make sure you apply fast. Stuff like this will fill up quick, and likely have a ton of applicants. We're hoping to find the right folks to come in and help us continue to make our games great. Good luck, and I look forward to working with whoever ends up getting these roles :)

For what it's worth the balance team generally agrees with this take - we're investigating ways to make this better but we're too early to commit to any details or get into specifics unfortunately.

hey folks! i'm not using twitter anymore, but wanted to share about Devon & Iain, who lost their home in the LA fires last week. they are game devs and were writers on The Dragon Prince; they're also new parents. if you're able to donate, anything helps. gofundme.com/f/join-tdp-fan…

@MarcMerrill Greatest ending to a baseball game I’ve ever seen!

Freeman!!

Here’s your preview of the upcoming Year-End Patches 👀

@TenZOfficial fwiw I agree. I think it's fine if a post plant is played from main occasionally but I don't love how prominent this play pattern is on our maps right now. I'm invested in making it better.

@fewjative I went to champs this year so I already hit my yearly overseas esports event cap. But I hope you go!

@Max_Grossman soooo we going to worlds?!?!

Very different from previous years - big fan of harder vibe

LET'S GOOOO

Been waiting for this day for years - super excited to open the gates!

@kchironis @YourDMNick she has outdoor crocs and indoors crocs....

@YourDMNick ironically i missed this and we sent my child in crocs, because my brain repeatedly shorts out when trying to read this page

slowly learning that school communications for young kids are peak “graphic design is my passion”

@danfornace This is a daily occurence

Have you ever lost at your own game and you can't even be mad at the devs?

We have an upcoming Iso change planned for 9.00: - Removing the two-kill reset on his E - Reducing the duration of his E from 20s > 12s Removing the reset gives Iso just one activation, and reducing the duration should create a clearer window for opponents to deny him fights.

I dunno why but I find it so fun working on control presets, even though the problem space of [lots of actions + a few golden inputs] can really make you pull on your hair @RiotMed1na killed it designing these Traditional+Elite Controller (jump and crouch on paddles) for me

Can’t get over how cool this video is and can’t wait for the new map to drop

Like all good games, this one came together in the final six months. We dive deep on how we found the soul of VALORANT on on a controller

@Nadeshot Was a blast playing with you. Super bummed about the footage but you were nasty out there

I was invited by Riot to play VALORANT on console earlier this week. I was able to record all day on PS5 and they had OBS running remotely too but was told that all my footage was corrupted. Huge bummer. Ask me questions bout the game and I’ll try and answer.

We've been working on this for awhile, and I'm really excited to get it out to players on consoles. It just works! No crossplay between PC and Console; separate matchmaking. But, your account is shared, so any skins/agents you own on PC will carry over to Console and vice versa.

Console Limited Beta is on its way. Sign up today for your chance to play. 📝: riot.com/VALbeta
