Leo Faria

Despite all the hate this guy gets im kinda glad he's so transparent on twitter about riot's plans; it definitely feels a lot more accommodating to player concerns than LOL for instance.

He makes some stupid mistakes sometimes like with tier 2 but i'm just glad he's willing to fix them and not pull an overwatch

he's not the best, but i'm kinda glad this guy is in charge of valo esports; i mean with how often esports projects fail and the lack of precedent for a project like this one im willing to forgive some misjudgements he may make if he's willing to fix them.

i think people believe he has a lot more influence on esports-related decisions than he likely really does.

I really dislike how people are attacking his responses due to semantics.

however, this happens in many games. look at the apex devs or the fortnite devs who (used to) tweet about decisions. sadly, they're prime scapegoat material!

to have a vocal HoD that replies and actually addresses issues publically despite knowing what the popular reaction will be is something we are taking for granted. this public accountability and conversation is already a huge leap forward when you compare it to global offensive, overwatch or league

People tend to forget that his job is dictated by senior leadership at riot and, ultimately, riot's shareholders. That's not to say he is just a pawn, but there are some decisions he simply cannot take regardless of how popular they may be. Riot commands their esports economies, Leo has to decide who misses out and who prospers.

He could do with a social media assistant. His hair and makeup in videos are flawless but every tweet can be picked apart, it's A level english language stuff.

The message he gives is very clear to me: This is a command economy, if you don't have a seat at the top you are in service of the top. If that is a dealbreaker for you, go play cs. See league and dota 2 for a parallel.

Yeah, it's reductive to act like he's the root issue of T2 and every other problem. He definitely has a hand in it but people are acting like it's a decision he alone made, and therefore he's getting all the shit for it

He is a delusional bozo and is way over his head on this

he's the goat

Imagine if riot isn't transparent.
