Riot Games came under scrutiny recently, following a Kotaku report that saw a large number of the studio’s staff come forward with accounts of sexism and gender discrimination they experienced during their time at the company.

“Inclusivity, diversity, respect, and equality are all non-negotiable. While there is much to improve, there is a tremendous amount of good at Riot that will drive this change. This is our top priority until we get it right,” Riot said in a statement back in August.

The spotlight is going to remain on the Riot to keep players in line, as well as overhauling the culture within the studio.
