Extremely Toxic Rioter in my Ranked Game
Playing some good ol Gold Ranked Solo Queue, my team wins, end game lobby comes, and Riot Kaliman starts flaming his team. Very shocked that a Rioter would do this, and then once we point out he is from Riot he says he doesn't care. Super toxic.
Edit: Blocked out names bc of witchhunt rule
Edit 2: Wanted to add more clarification here so I don't have to reply to every comment. I agree that maybe Extremely Toxic is a stretch, but the Riot Employee was still toxic and calling other players trash and telling them to stay in bronze will get other ordinary players penalized so therefore a Riot Employee should be ATLEAST held to the same standard, but IMO I think they should be held to a higher standard. A Police Officer is held to a higher standard to a regular citizen because their job is meant to stop crime, not create it, so when a Police Officer is committing a crime, the News is on them bc it is not ordinary, hypocritical, and wrong. No one should be held above the law, yet bc they are in a position of power to stop crime a very very small minority feel that they have power to do what they please, which is the same attitude this Riot Employee showed when he stated that he does not care if he is reported. That is an attitude that no employee for ANY company should have. Just thought I should bring some attention to it.
Final Edit: Many hours passed, and it seems like this Rioter's account was hacked. This was not a Rioter being toxic in the game, and instead someone hacked the account and sold it and it was a random person who was playing on the account. It seems as it has been resolved.

Lol absolutely loved the enthusiasm, less so the lack of consideration for others.
Even if they turned out to be just "just yes or no" questions, it's still asking for more time than others got, and it's really important to me that everyone who had a question got to ask it (i think we managed to do that with the extended Q&A back at room 613).
Speaking of which - the panelists and I were talking about how you're always on top of this stuff and how it was too bad you couldn't make it out. Did you personally have a question you wanted to ask? I can gather the answer and send it to ya.

Sweet lmk how we do, hope it lives up to expectations!

Sure isn't banter, comms, or trash talk among friends from what I can tell
Bar should be higher for Rioters regardless
DyQuill
Same here (I'm really just there to keep things on track tho). DM me if you'll be around

No requirement, most everybody plays tho. For Rioters working on stuff like patch notes, balance, champ design and spotlights, etc. it's especially important to keep up with what's happening in the game.

that's nice of you but nah Rioters have no business being assholes to players. thanks for calling it out, even if it turns out it wasn't actually a Rioter (u/draggles mentioned account being compromised)
