How I got my Riot gun buddy in 7 steps: 1. Play Riot games 2. Watch tutorials & learn to make games 3. Go to school to make games 4. Apply to work at Riot to make games 5. Get rejected & go elsewhere to make games 6. Get accepted to Riot to make games 7. Give myself the gun buddy

For those curious, the context on this is that I put in a partial fix just after Champs. It should fix a lot of the spots where the rocket does 0 damage when hitting something near the enemy. Testing has shown it does fix a lot of places that historically "absorbed" the rocket.

Apparently I've been at Riot for just over a year already which is wild to say for me. In that time I helped make Gekko, put Cypher in the range, and fixed a ton of bugs on lots of different agents! (extra callout for Wingman cause he's so precious and took lots of effort)

@AaronnFtw @riotgames FYI the bug occurs if the kill happens while you're in the drone. It is trying to award the kill to the drone. It's something we're aware of but have hit roadblocks trying to fix in the past. I'll bump it again though so we can try getting some fresh eyes on it hopefully.

I always walk up the wrong side of the escalator. This is not an accident, it is a choice. It builds a mindset of always giving 110% effort. Letting the escalator carry you up means you accept a passive role. Take back agency over your movement, One escalator at a time.
