I'm just wondering how many women actually play LoL, I know there are probably a few out there but it seems to me that a lot of women frown upon it. I know many men with girlfriend gamers, myself included, and they just DESPISE it due to the amount of attention it requires.
If you put stock in statistics gathering and surveys, our official numbers are that over 90% of our player base is male. Here's the infographic we released:
ever get annoyed working with a bunch of dudes at riot
Nah. First of all, as a female engineer, I have worked with a bunch of dudes my entire career. It turns out, the percentage of female engineers is very similar to the percentage of female LoL players. : P Also, I tend to relate better to men than women, so I feel pretty comfortable actually. : ) In general, though, Riot is just a fun, awesome place to work, regardless of the demographics of any particular discipline or team.
Following the trend in WoW...I wonder if most females in league primarily play support?
Based on the data we've gathered, there's a little bit higher preference for support, with the rest of the role distribution being similar. But nothing near primarily support. I think it is more a stereotype than a reality
What about the % of male VS female at Riot HQ (all positions)? Just curious.
I don't know the breakdown, sorry.

Also: SUPPORT MAIN 4 LYFE
I personally main ADC. I find that the most exciting role, but everyone has their favorites.

No need to apologize.

I always thought its because most girls suck at video games, and support/healers are the easiest role to play.
Support may be easy to play, but it's not easy to master. As an ADC main, I'd argue that having a pro support versus someone who just knows some of the ideas (buy wards, let ADC get last hits), but hasn't mastered the more advanced stuff, like lane, and especially bush, control and the back and forth of harassment can make or break the success of laning phase.

I am a platform/backend engineer.
To avoid hijacking this thread to another topic, I will refer you to some other threads that I feel covered what you are asking about. : ) If you have further questions after perusing them, feel free to post them there.

Seconded. There's something about building that synergy with your support that lends to excellent level 2 fights, proper harassment, and well timed kills that comes with working with someone who completely understands the subtleties of supporting.

And keep in mind that was released in October 2012, so the information is already out of date. : )

Seriously though, she plays a dangerous AD. Beware or you'll wake up with a gun in your face.
