Mocking Shout reduced the AD of the crowd by 100.

[ae32halladay]

Wow did not expect that. Very inspirational speech, I was into it all the way. Riot Rules !!

[VesaRibar]

Toon of technology, Phreaks friend... :D

[Limbualien]

=\ -_-

[SERVER1992]

i really wanna be a game devoleper but didnt have the oppertunity to go to colldge yet i want to start at a community because its cheaper and alot eassier to start with since i had bad grades in highschool . i hope that i can get to your point of succes and " luck " because i really want to deliver my idea ---(game) --- to people

[JMM5911]

@pffsk8 try thinking about EVERY DECENT GAME DEVELOPER IN THE UNIVERSE. if a company wants to keep your loyalty they will constantly aim to please. And what's so bad about making money. We all have to live somehow.

[CharinZain]

So he's Ryze?

[Rocket3592]

Really inspiring.

[D4nTh3Man]

get some better servers

[Hyperllam4]

What a nice speech, sadly all a lie. Riot does not want people with passion rather than experience. They will not hire you if you don't have at least 3 years in the field you want to work in. Check their job opportunities, always asks for like 3 years of experience.

[Midnightmage16]

@Hyperllam4 Uh...that's because passion can only go so far. A person can be passionate, but be a terrible worker. Having some experience shows that you DO have a passion by you sought out to better yourself in your passion.

Really, what company in their right mind would want to hire a Director that had no experience whatsoever? Use some logic.

[xithosity]

@Midnightmage16 A person with an idea that could produce massive results that had some concept of how to make it happen in the worlds current state, that is extremely passionate about their idea is worth a risk. Even if they have to take on the risk without the backing of a major organization. Be optimistic and understand the success of this man.

[celestielsigh]

Brandon's hot <3 Nice speech

[TankMerciful]

awesome man  --- Sent From RiotGamesInc's AppRats (Facebook App)!

[MyRazor1997]

1 word WOW AND LOL ROCK THE STAGE!!!!!

[USCTROJANJAKOB]

Fight on!

[killerpro098]

I'd work for this Guy in an instance. But, he'd have to let me keep my business as well.

[44rol]

Yeah second after WoW

[MrGENOCIDEGeorge]

@44rol WoW is also, like, 3 times older than LoL.

[FlamoAralias]

I hate speeches, but this was so good.

[MrVonTario]

Incredibly wise speach. Both Brandon Beck and Marc Meriil is appearing verry nice. Thank you Riot for posting this. Keep ut the good work!

[Fwoggye]

Um...somewhere down in the comments someone posted that riot listens to their community... Yeah and Tryndamere doesn't have an alt that makes him unkillable for 9 seconds and 10% crit at level two, and it's not like anyone has complained about this before...

[TheHolyMASTER]

How does this have to do anything with lol?

[slucifix]

dear lord... best graduation speech i've ever heard... but still holds true that if you've been to one graduation you've seen em all....

[jorstar1127]

woman: i have a list, hold on

old guy behind them : i have a list too

[rapidMG]

@Yovkata they should nerf tryndas spec ...

[Valiastice]

I feel like more companies should so things like this to their fans. it makes the community feel more connected to them an makes them feel more real.

[LordLegend2]

very nice!!!! GO RIOT!!!

[Nightquard]

SMORIO , DAJ TAJ DOMINION!

[Pffsk8]

This is why Riot is 10times better then any other gaming company:

-Listens to the comunity

-Its not just a game that they wanna earn cash, more about passion

-keeps comming out with new and fun content to the game which is optional

[TheHeadlessOne]

@Pffsk8 Uh, Valve?

[Kujakuseki01]

@Pffsk8 Really? They don't want to earn money, huh? That's not their bottom line, it's warm fuzzies? Cool story, bro.

[Pffsk8]

@Kujakuseki01 You probobly miss understod what I wrote, what I ment its not ALL about the cash. But its a game they give alot of time and effort to make the players happy(these guys actually listens). Obviously people wanna be successful and earn money.

[CmeltProductions]

Inspiring

[CeeL33T]

trolol i woulda laughed if he screamed DEMMACIAA!!! at the end

[sooly3]

Ok.....



[armaniac661]

[BabbaGanuch123]

Great speech, even better person. This guy is the definition of the saying 'he is the man, the myth and the legend!'

[HurryUpSunshine]

Damn, this made me feel bad for every time I trash talked Riot.

[wfSeg]

That was short and inspirational. Best of luck to Dominion and future expansions.

[USCLink]

Fight on Brandon! Great speech, and thanks for meeting with me a few months ago.

[EvilZopify]

Wow that was inspirational!

[freelancergin]

its nice to know that the game designer of one of my favorite games has problems like us and he can give inspirational speeches, especially since im going through some hard times

[SoftDiveOblivion]

He really is a very good public speaker...

[MrNobrow]

Amazing speech, very lucky to have stumbled upon this link. Amazing how a high school dropout Co-Founded one of the best games. Keep up the great work.

[jacobislucas]

FUCK DOTA 2. IM STICKING WITH LOL FOREVER!

[RIGENSTEIN]

[Siduakal]

I'm genuinely thankful I got given this link, it was incredibly motivational and inspiring.

[Tryndamere]

Go B!

[Makeybussines]

Very nice speech! It makes me happy that this is kind of man behind the game we all enjoy so much!

[takeo12361]

What a great speech........ better nerf Irelia,

[MrSpineshank1]

why would you dislike this?... very motivating

[Lancersbane]

Awww shit. Brandon, ur one of those guys going for the "service based industry"? *sigh*

But then, you go into saying about how making the games free puts the focus on the content. And somehow, i end up agreeing with you.

Argh i don't know my opinion anymore.

[SaturnElena]

whether you think you can get a kill or get baited, you are right

[VenomStoneice]

Just an amazing, inspiring speech. Great message backed up by a relevant personal experience. Bravo, Brandon Beck. Keep up the good work.

[SneakehNub]

Tryndamere needs a USC Grad Gown skin.

[MatsuDK]

Such an amazing speech.



[Finalape]

Fantastic speech. Passion and aptitude; you definitely show it in how you operate. Never change Riot!

[iCornyJoke]

@Finalape You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

[ChronoHarvester]

That was a really great video! Why is it unlisted? i know that there are some members of the LoL community who would hate on this, there are many people who would've also found this an amazing speech.

[DrPCPProductions]

This speech is fantastic; you should include a copy of it in the description.

Thank you to Brandon and Marc for all their hard work and dedication, as well as the countless other Riot employees.

[Shadovv93]

Best speech ever ^^

[HotshotGG]

Awesome speech. From the few opportunities I have met Brand Beck and Marc Merrill they have always presented themselves well. They always come off as genuine and pleasant people. Gogo Riot!

PS: Brandon's wife is hot!

[adamroberttaylor]

@HotshotGG Pics or it didn't happen.

[FlamoAralias]

@HotshotGG Jesus, I don't know how to respond to that last part. Can't even say, "LULULULULULU OWNED!"

[Nundril000]

Thanks Brandon Beck :)

[j0nanimation]

I cried a little when i heard the speech so much inspiration.

[inuysha360]

thanks for retweeting nikasaur =) this was very insightful and illuminating

[MyrhhDarkling]

@caratos71 loser, you aint fist! NOW YOU LIFE HAS NO MEANING!

[Claytron4000]

For all of Riot's down falls, they really are a fortunate company to make it how they have. This is a great speech, I'm proud of Riot and proud to have helped in some small way to get them where they are.

Everyone is a winner!

[ChrisBTW3]

I'm so inspired from this speech, and now i know that i won't make a mistake on studying computer programming and game designing in the future, and one day Riot Games i will work for you ;)

[zeromant80]

@caratos71 "1st" comments are for e-nerds trying to compete on something useless

[SonicDeluxx]

@zeromant80

Answering them makes you look even worse... oops see what I did there.

[poptartbrger]

@zeromant80 hating on 1st comments is a slightly less popular, but still a major nerd trolling activity.

[zeromant80]

@poptartbrger im not hating nor trolling. what im saying about the "1st" comments its the true.

[itspatt]

Truly inspirational. Further proof that Riot and it's employees are just awesome.
