Really cool to see you doing all this awesome stuff Travis. Big congrats, you deserve it.
Let's just all take a minute to appreciate this quality content Travis brought us, rather than turning the comment section into a complaint bin for salty adc mains and hashinshin followers
Quality content indeed but this is a free comment section and Ghostcrawler is indeed a very bad game designer so of course people are going to talk about the person interviewed, it's not even about salty adc mains or hashinshin followers, its about years of decline and fuckups
"Very bad game designer in my opinion" people of this generation always seem to forget the my opinion part.
You mean somebody who's decisions are known to have destroyed WoW and now becomes the lead designer of league after season 4 which coincides with league's long downfall, a lead designer who even admitted not playing this game, the guy responsible for dynamic queue and I can go on, you can be an easily impressionable person who enjoyed the interview but I look at the facts and yes he is terrible.
I think a lot of people need to rewatch this video.

Benjamin Johnson keep promoting that dude. Some day league will fucking die because SOS like you.
Wow production is really good now holy moly
The pre-expansion event scenario that came out today was so damn good
lol
Thank you ;)
When he talks about science it scares the shit out of me because that's the career I want to go into and I'm gonna be very sad if I feel that way about it
Cameron Ragland Holy thats realy deep
Cameron Ragland probably a different experience for everyone and he was in it a long time ago
Cameron Ragland Dude just do it and if you feel like you are not feeling it than do something else life might be short but it's huge at the same time.
Science is waaaay different depending on wich areas of expertise you work in:). Dont be discouraged! We need more people like you who embrace the fact that the most important and valuable asset we have as humans are our brains and the ability to imagine just about anything and put it to test.
Lots of people get degrees then get jobs that don't have anything to do with their degree like ghostcrawler. Just try to follow what you are passionate about
Just found this channel and I have to say that this was an amazing interview. Thanks a lot for the insight!
Was fantastic hearing the personal side of Ghostcrawler and what he values in games and community. Creating some really solid content Travis.
I remember it like it was yesterday. The first time I ever emotionally connected with a member of the company of a game that I play. There was a statement released for the state of class balance in World of Warcraft pvp. Safe to say that the amount of poop slung on that forum made me feel bad for Greg the ghost crab. The amount of pressure to balance such a small part of the game, garnered such a strong emotional response from the community. Glad he's finally on a much better balanced game, and can finally relax. Time for a casual Zoe game to remind myself of how it has all fallen into place.
Director Brodin PogChamp It's so good to see the growth of Travis and the people that supported him. Keep up the good work everyone!
I remember a year ago I commented how much potential you have with your channel and now I can see it finally bears fruit. Looking forward to upcoming content from you.
"i got super lucky" the most accurate description of anything esports.
Hello Travis, I really adore your work, but there is one thing that keeps stopping me from fully diving into your content. Im a disabled person, I wear an hearing aids and those devices are not helping me understand better the speech from TV/monitor. So when it comes down to foregin language (cuz im not native english speaking), it is even double harder to follow your vlogs and videos.
Currently there is around 460 million of deaf people, you can imagine how big part of that number may be also League of Legends players, lovers, or just the people that want to watch quality content and they dont have that accessibility. Subtitles are necessary for peoples like us. But CC wont be benefit only deaf ppl, there are also other, hearing person, that are not fluent with english and understanding the english speech may be difficult for them. Closed captions is also a way for them to fully enjoy the content.
Thats all what I wanted tosay and I hope, Travis could see it. Peace
Jakub Kula auto generated captions work perfectly fine for me as a deaf person, though I am a native speaker I suppose
Ur Mom generated cc are fine, but not perfect. While they are enough for interviews and others, when it come down to such high quality content, I would like have full understanding of the subjects.
That was a really awesome interview Travis.. gg on the idea. It really shows the value you give the gaming community- just blown away. Well done mate. Keep up the great work.
I love this section about talking about game companies talking to their player base. Its one of the biggest reasons that I love League of Legends so much. Riot actually listens to its player base and will openly admit when they screw things up. It always amazes me how people complain about Riot like they would old school Blizzard or old school Bungie. Riot in my opinion has been the most open company I've ever played a game for and it shows.
This is what I want Travis!
This deserves more views. Well produced, good questions and good answers. Both of you are so sympathetic
thank you for interviewing a guy that shouldn't be working at riot games. He still has a hard on when warriors were not the best. Priceless.
Great Interview Travis! This was very well produced. Excited for the rest of them.
I really enjoy this collaboration between Riot & Travis - I wish there was more content like this. This is a fantastic series and I hope there's more. I wish more companies would do this, beyond simple fan Q&As, but actual interviews.
Such a humble guy and he's one of the big dogs of Riot love it.
One more time Travis, you're amazing and your work is just beyond what I can ever expect. Thanks for the content. You rock!
I never comment on videos but just had to tell you how great this series is for the LoL community. Go Trav!
Really good content Travis. The camera angles are a little unorthodox but it works, I would have framed it differently myself. Keep up the great interviews!
Really awesome series Travis! I’m excited for this month :)
Nice, you interviewed Deathshrimp.
Fianlly, decent, non-cheezy and meme filled gaming-related interviews. Nice job.
Excellent job, Travis. Minimally edited, long-form interviews are the future.
Consider doing highlight clips so other accounts don't KS your views for people in a hurry or linking discussion points.
loving this type of content, keep up the new variety !
Such an amazing interview. Could have listened to ghostcrawler talk for hours on end.
Can't wait for future episodes.
Well done Travis, looking forward to more. I was hoping for more insight on the current patch, but I guess he could not say more.
Nice content TTravis, it is funny that 'Ghostcrawler' helped m,aking my top 3 most played games of all time (Aoe, WOW and LOL)! I am hyped to see more.
"I don't know what we're doing until I read the patch notes", I had to laugh. But great interview, looking forward to more Travis.
Well produced, a good interview indeed. Top job team.
This has kind of a podcast format, would be cool to have it put out on some platforms as one in the future if possible
Very first words "How are you been?" Never change Travis :)
What a time for this to release along with the scathing stuff coming out after the Kotaku expose'
This is super high quality content. Thanks for putting this out there!
Can't wait for an another episode on Thurs!!
This was great, Travis! Keep it up man really looking forward to seeing what you do in the future.
Great interview! I'd love to see more interviews with other game companies. A lot of interviews are so focused on just the video games that people make, and not the story of who they are. Really great content Travis.
Very profesional, nice concept, I can't wait to see how this could evolve in the future, keep it up!
great interview very Bryant Gumbel happy about this content.
... Ghostcrawler for president or at least father of the year. His children being anyone who posts to the forums or even just plays the game
Great interview, would be nice to see more quality content like this
really good interiew travis, loving your work and always look forward to your uploads!
I really liked this interview, Travis!
Holy shit that Riot Games HQ though that's like amazing.
Loved the interview, can't wait to see the rest of them!
Travis giving us the the content we deserve
Hey Travis, I am commenting and giving a thumbs up to these videos because I really like the work you do. I use an adblock, so hopefully this YT interaction will be favourable in the roulette wheel that is the YT algorithm to help grow your channel.
Great interview. I really hope the Kotaku article doesn't affect Travis' project. I hoping other companies in the industry partake in this.
swymaboi03 what is this about the kotaku article?
Tell me more?
kotaku.com/inside-the-culture-of-sexism-at-riot-games-1828165483
Frederik Ciupek bless you
I definitely dont want to watch a 40 min video right now but anything for Travis.
This guy is fcking interresting, and Travis good shit on this new "Play makers" series seems to be cool if you wanna get to learn a bit more information what devs do and feel when patching / updating the game.
freaking interesting gj
Amazing job Travis
Can you put this series up on spotify or sound cloud?
Great interview! In regards to Ghostcrawler bringing up Dynamic Queue, I feel like players are reacting the same way to the season 9 ranked changes. I personally think it's interesting and open to see how it works out. Also btws, flex queue is dynamic queue. Lol. Sadly people still shit talk it.
simply amazing travis
Travis nice interview, almost got through it without talking about Peter :)
Good stuff Travis, nailing it
I love it! So glad you are still able to make independent content like this!
Really insightful interview, thanks for doing it! Ghostcrawler really has an interesting backstory !
Great video, thanks for putting it together.
Hey Travis loved the video, but could you try and get the your legs/feet in shot? I am also just interested by you shot composition in general. You usually see people facing the way you put them, but on the other side of the frame. Any reason in particular you shot it the way you did? Any way, the intro was fantastic, really high quality. Keep it up :)
This..... this is what the people needed, Travis.
Very interesting stuff. Can't wait to see the rest of the series.
It seems that this series will be very good, this first episode was really interesting, right now I'm kinda uncertain about what I'm gonna do with my life, I've been studying chemical engineering for almost two years but I can't stop feeling doubt, uncertainty, unmotivation. Looking back I never thought too deply about what I would like to be doing and I just went for chemical engineering with auto-pilot on. My point is that hearing that Ghostcrawler passed through something similar gives me some hope that I will be able to figure out what I'm going to do, maybe I end up working on Riot LAN or something lol
Wow travis. This is an upgrade! Congrats
Nice production!
He actually knows how to interview people amazing
Wow the production quality seems to jump from 0 to 100 real quick! Although don't know how I feel about the professional interview i really like the more chill ones but these are amazing too.
h, the behind the scenes drama queen, nice to know who the play-us-ers be.
Awesome interview. This really motivates me to keep grinding to become a game programmer. Keep up the good work bro
Maybe I should apply to riot with my geology degree lmao
you could help to understand some physics when creating a map.
maybe you could balance/rework malphite? xD
Patrick Hanssen lol first thing I would do is change his textures
lol exactly my thought
Great insight and episode! Thanks a lot!
Havent watched the video yet, but im super stoked, this is awesome!
One thing, in that intro, those drone shots, if you put so much movement into the shots, please give us 60fps, watching that on fullscreen isnt really a pleasure, unlike the rest of your content ;-p
Das war sehr informativ ... Dankeschön Travis
Bauer Paul Nichts zu danken
Bauer Paul Ja, Travis ist die beste.
I absolutely love this type of content. Keep it up!
The camera angles are weird.Travis' chair points to the opposite side he's looking while talking and the speakers are not at the center of the screen while talking. Try to improve it next time. Good work however
This was great Travis
Great video Travis!
Such good cinematography on the b-roll!!!
Idk if Brodin reads the comments, but having split lighting over Rembrandt seems kind of a strange stylistic choice. I think Rembrandt would've helped this interview look a lot better. The lack of a low luminance fill light makes them look a bit ominous.
I wanted to change things up since it feels like all of esports is either flat or Rembrandt lighting. This was one of our more tricky locations though so the shadow side didn't have quite as much fill as I would have liked
Brodin Plett ah, ok, I totally get that. I know the feels of hard location lighting. Anyways, mad props for the production quality 👍🏻
Almost forgot to like. Love the video Travis
I thought you said there was a moment where GhostCrawler compliments DoubleLift??
Sweet vid! Thank Ghostcrawler for all ya do for us :)
Travis, please make a feature length video on your thoughts on the Riot sexism scandel
Really good interview.
I always thought Greg Street looked familiar, haha.
AOE was the first RTS I ever got into, such an awesome game :) Also, without it I would never have probably
tried Warcraft 2 which led to it's sequel, followed by DOTA then off course League of Legends, funny how things work out.
Really Good Interview!
the enemy always tries to look human!
You gotten so good at your job as a interviewer! BUT can you remove the Ikea water glass from Travis' background!
Amazing! Cant wait to next episode.
I like it. Thank you
Now this is some quality content
great video Travis.
Hey Travis, ask Riot how a company that focuses so hard on combating toxicity in their player base can't seem to control the assholes that work for them directly? Sanjuro and Lyte were just the beginning.
RepliesMuted They don't control them. Riot basically has a free speech policy with the community. By allowing people to speak sometimes you will have hate speech that has to be addressed. I'm guessing you know that and you are just trying to be a asshole about it
"I love that this game used historical civilizations like the hittites that nobody heard of." - > That civilization is all over the fucking bible, most people have heard of it.
There can be bug patches and hotfixes bi-weekly like patches are now. People just want monthly design patches.
Can you please get Riot to leak info on the fighting game they are hopefully working on when the bought out the Rising Thunder guys?
That drone was a great buy! I don't care what MarkZ and Kelby say!
Great listen
i really love it, thank you travis
