In response, former Champions Creative Director (Lead Champion Designer) Reav3 was promoted to Chief Gameplayer (Lead Game Producer). His former position will be taken over by Riot Lexical in the coming days. While this statement is unexpected, the holder’s identities are not surprising, as there is no indication of such a change.
Reav3, community favorite
In general, while August was the upheaval we’re used to seeing official announcements of new champions, it was Reav3 that coordinated all the teams. Despite allowing his colleague to speak on camera, Reav3 is arguably the most active Rioter on Reddit. She was the one who directly dispelled the misunderstanding that Belvet is the obnoxious new champion, or why Riot Games is firing more and more female champions. In addition to representation and attendance issues, he wasn’t shy about coming up again on some issues as he said bringing in more female champions makes players like players to play according to Riot stats. Games. 97% women.
The public reaction on social networks (Reddit, Twitter) is quite good. Players appreciate Rioter’s vision, which doesn’t listen to their opinions and sets goals beyond every fashion studio change or decision. This location change may also lead to significant changes to Summoner’s Rift in the future. Reav3 really likes the champions he works on to have a strong identity. This can be seen in characters similar to Zeri and Renata, but also in recent remakes of Ahri (more lines!), Olaf (you’re dead if they get close) or Swayne. Overall, the characters he created/modified are well received, players are enjoying the game (On the other hand, we can discuss the balance when we see that each champion is very strong at the moment).
Riot Lexical, LoR to LoL
The lexical nickname may not be familiar to League of Legends players, but Legends of Runeterra players have come across it before. After working on a Riot Games collectible card game, the poem was moved to the League of Legends Champions Building section. Eventually, it is the one that will replace Reav3 even if it is still in transition at the time of writing its lines. Keep in mind, however, that his role will not be to create entirely new characters, but to oversee entire teams to ensure that future champions are well integrated into the world of League of Legends, both in their spells and in their their designs or their training.
