You guys sure know how to make someone feel welcome. Let me try some of these questions.
Quote:
U is woman? :3
Nope, I am not a woman. Accidental troll was accidental. Sona is my favorite champion right now, hence my choice of icon.

Welcome. What's your deal? Tell us a bit about yourself.
I've loved technology my whole life, especially computers. My first computer was a Macintosh 128k. I found a love of gaming when I got a NES and discovered The Legend of Zelda. My favorite Zelda game is a tie between A Link to the Past and Wind Waker and I have played both many times. I first got into online gaming with Quake and spent years playing deathmatch and CTF.

What profile picture is that?
Silent Night Sona

I just wanted to say I'm extremely jealous. And have some fun questions. Why the name Bazner? What kind of stuff will you be doing as a community manager? Who's your favorite Champ? And if someone were to bake you cookies what type do you prefer?
It's a family name. Good question. Sona and Teemo as my current favorites. I enjoy Toll House chocolate chip cookies with vanilla ice cream.

Are you a tank in disguise?

tell us more about you, why did you want to work with riot? how long have you been playing Lol? why this spot in riot?
Awesome people, awesome game. I'm reasonably new to LOL, but I enjoy it a lot. I love working with people to make their lives a little better, hopefully I will be able to deliver.
Quote:
Are you going to stream too?
I enjoy playing LOL, but I am far from good at the game. You can always spectate my matches, but you would probably need to be pretty bored first.
Quote:
Hello any chance of that portrait being used for a new sona skin?
It's already a skin.
I'll work to answer more questions as they come up.
Who is your least favourite champ to see on the other team?
I love the challenge of a mirror match, basically when someone on the other team has the same champion as me. Love can turn to frustration when the do a lot better than I do, but I usually treat that as a learning experience.
Quote:
Your teemo needs more wriggles and more frozen mallet
Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try.
Quote:
How did you land this opportunity to work at Riot? Besides, applying for it, haha.
Years of hard work. I've been working in the video game industry for the past 6 years and I strive to learn and grow everyday.
Quote:
What kind of things did you do prior to working at Riot?
I was a Marketing Manager at Warner Bros. and had the chance to work on a lot of different things. Games included Mortal Kombat and Batman: Arkham City.
Quote:
What did you major in and, if you dont mind me asking, how old are you =D
I majored in Computer Science as an undergraduate. My areas of focus/interest were autonomous robotics and operating systems. I finished college ten years ago.
Quote:
And, a question from me! When you were young(er) what did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to race a Baja Truck.
Quote:
Who is the best person/people at riot to talk seriously about both a skin idea and a few questions i have?
I do not know, but I am sure there are a number of Rioters on here that can probably answer that for you much better that I.
Quote:
doesnt silent night sona means you're on night duty?
Nope. It just means that I love that skin.
Quote:
I really love and miss that Silent Night Sona skin. Too bad I wasn't around when it came out. Did you own it before you joined Riot? Also are you working with Riot at their HQ in LA; if so, did you move here? Also if if so so! Then how are you enjoying So Cal
I did not have the skin before joining. I work in Santa Monica, but I am from Los Angeles and have lived here my whole life. I love it.
Quote:
Whats your highest Elo?
I am not even sure. I am really just starting out with League of Legends and still have a lot to learn. Fortunately I have a lot of great teachers.
Quote:
Will you visit EU?
I do not know, but I would love to.
Quote:
What do you bring to the table here? IE; what is Riots expected ROI for bringing you on board?
I have an extensive collection of toys on my desk that I brought to Riot.
Quote:
By new, how new are you? Like...you started playing last month? Or by new do you mean you just havent played since BETA? Just curious xD
Started playing around December with my gaming group.
Quote:
Make a twitter so I can follow you.
I will, just give me a bit to find me bearings.
Quote:
are you a wizard?
I have been called that before, so possibly.
Quote:
Would you be for or against Armored Bears?
IRL I talk with my hands, I will require them to answer this question, so I don't think I can do it on Internets.
Quote:
What's the first champ you've ever played? How did you find LoL?
Alistar. My friends were playing it and got me hooked.
Just Joined Riot Games
Just joined the team here at Riot as a Community Manager and wanted to say hello.
Thanks,
Bazner
I'll work to answer more questions as they come up.
I'm confused now.
Unless new Rioters are shunned in the workplace and only experience interaction online.
Now I've made myself sad.
Thanks for the well wishes.
