I was expecting Mort to be moving out from Riot but it's awesome that he gets to move into his dream home and still gets to keep the job he likes so much (and we all enjoy what Mort does!)
the best part about tft is that you feel connected to the developers. mort, you have done so much in terms of communicating the state of tft and keeping us in the loop with patch rundowns and your transparency about which turns the development of tft is taking and why. i think you and your team have set such a high standard for ANYONE in terms of what it means to not only headline a community but clearly care about and want to grow that community as well. the best of luck to you and your family when moving! we'll see you when you're back. cheers!
This is why I choose to support the TFT team each check with $20-$40 on the content. I've moved on from supporting the LOL team, but for TFT, Mort's presence creates a sense of access for the community to ask questions, have fun with the devs, and to understand their thought process. In my opinion , the current set has been rough, especially compared to set 10, however, the constant updates from Mort, kept me playing.
@@sygma07that’s why I donate to mort because even if this wasn’t backed by riot I’d play it, mort is what every head dev should aspire to be and we need more like him
Mortdog, I can not express how stressed that title made me feel. Don't scare us like that, you're such an integral part of the game we love. Best of luck with the house move, sounds like a pain.
Holy shit. I remember Mort talking about him and his wife making a large decision a long while back, and he said he'd make an announcement when it was time. Congrats, Mort! This is super awesome, and the whole community is happy for you!
Can we get Kent to do patch rundowns here on the channel? Would be fun for him to be the "mortdog" for us while you're moving. Also i wish you and all of your family all the best!
That'd be fun, but I don't think Kent would be fit to do that now. Mort mentioned that Kent is now the lead of the finalization team (which currently is on Set 12) so I don't think he is paying much attention to live.
Incredibly proud of you Mort! It makes me so happy to see you moving to your dream house, to a place where you feel comfortable and happy and where your family can grow and flourish. You've been an inspiration to me throughout my own career as a Game Designer and this truly warms my heart.
Your commitment to the game and to the community is respectable and commendable. Glad to hear this is a happy 'I'm moving' story. Best of luck to you and your family moving back out in Washington and cant wait for see more TFT.
I hope everything goes smoothly with the moving process, congratulations on building a new home! I’m glad you will still be the gameplay director of TFT, and live somewhere you enjoy more. You and the TFT team are my favorite game development team, always making fantastic sets
This is wonderful to hear. Also great that the teams you've helped cultivate are so good at what they do that you're not needed regularly in person. I see that as a sign at what a great job you've done in building these teams and the people in them. Hope the move is very straightforward!
It's awesome to see that Riot is flexible enough to allow you to prioritize your family and mental health. Good luck with the process and we will see you afterwards!
This is awesome! It’s so good to hear that Riot puts their people first and that you put family first. As a parent with a special needs child, you are correct that the support group is essential. Enjoy your family and the move, see you in August.
Congratlations Mort, I'm so happy for you and your family. Having your dream house built up sounds awesome. I hope everything goes smoothly. Thanks for letting us know, I would be very worry if it wasn't for this announcement hehe I'll mark your come back in my calendar!!! CHEERS!!
Hey! Glad you'll be able to stay on. As a machine learning engineer who regularly checks the careers page at Riot -- are hybrid options afforded to all employees, or is this exceptional? I've been interested in Riot for a while. I feel that you folks put out fantastic products with design integrity, while pretty gracefully handling the modern video game monetization landscape. Alas, similar to you, my family has spent time in LA and isn't keen on going back. That's the main thing that's kept me from seriously pursuing a role there. Best of luck to you and the family in the move, and congratulations!
Glad for you Mort :) it is good that you have the chance to provide this to your family and that they are all supporting this decision. Good luck ahead!
Really sad to hear we won't get the usual start of set treatment, but if that just means life is going well for you, Mort, so be it. Really happy to hear our friendly neighborhood Dev is getting his work reflected in his real life.
one of the reason why i stayed playing the game since set 7 was mort so its good that he's still on the game Goodluck on Moving! we hope for the best for you and family!
Wish you the best Mort. Hope everything goes smooth and works out perfectly. You're awesome! Also holy shit what a rollercoaster of emotions as in "OH NO HE'S LEAVING RIOT/TFT - oh it's cool just moving - OH NO HES LEAV- oh ok it's fine"
I just started playing TFT for few weeks now and found you here in YT last week. I was just like "I just found you here and you're leaving?" but thank God you're just gonna be gone for a month because you're moving to your family's dream house. Well anyway have a great time there and all the best for you and your family Mort! Thank you for bringing up such a enjoyable game. Happy Father's Day! 🤍🙏
Mort! I hope everything goes well in your moving! I learn and discovered tft because of you and I'll be waiting for your next videos and streams on August! Best wishes and greetings from Mexico 🎉
Super happy for you and your family, and glad you get to stay with the team on TFT. Best of luck in the move! Washington is a beautiful place, I live in a similar town in Oregon. Enjoy it!
Congrats sir, and thank God you aren't leaving leaving. We absolutely appreciate everything you do and it just wouldn't be the same. Good luck with the move!
Welcome home to Washington! I just moved back here from SoCal and couldn’t be happier. I wish you and your wonderful family the best as you reconnect with the Evergreen State.
Glad to hear all worked out and nothing much will change. I dont play TFT and honestly, I dont know a lot about you, but I consistantly hear positive things said about you (I mean, obviously there will be the small salty minority that always exists, but its been a surprising amount of positive feedback whenever someone drops your name in a random chat)
Good luck on your move, I hope everything goes as planned. And also thank you for hearing my prayers in that last game I hit like crazy but maybe make it a bit less obvious next time
I'm happy to hear all of this good news for you! I work as an ABA therapist in Washington, working within my towns school-district, the services in-state have been really good in my experience thus far! I hope the move goes smoothly for you and your family! (Also, you've done a wonderful job with TFT so far, can't wait to see what's in store!)

“Oh god he’s leaving riot!”
“Oh never mind. Just moving..”
“WAIT, is he leaving riot!?”
“Oh thank god he’s not.”
Roller Roaster of emotion right there, never knew he worked in hybrid tho
He had us in the first half, not gonna lie....
@@Haze2010ify and the second...
Basically what we all thought
I know it wasn't a clickbait title, but it was a clickbait title!
Mort you fool, you're going to return after a month to an all-Lillia set
How quickly a house of cards can tumble
FOODFIGHT TACTICS
KENT
And Rammus,
@@willz0410ok 👍

That's the dream.

so real, the entire first 90 seconds of this video made it sound exactly like he was leaving and i was so fucking sad
@@FeralBadgers56if he left I’d hope it was to make their own game like TFT cause I’d move straight away and ditch riot
Good dad Mort. We love ya man.
Man you had me worried for a bit. Moving sucks, all the luck!
as an autistic person it's cool to see Mort accommodating his son best wishes to you both
Mortdog the legend. actual dad role model we got here.
as a non autistic person I agree it is cool to see Mort accommodating his son
Holy shit. I remember Mort talking about him and his wife making a large decision a long while back, and he said he'd make an announcement when it was time. Congrats, Mort! This is super awesome, and the whole community is happy for you!
Sat there holding my breathe until he said he was gonna stay Gameplay Director. He's good, his family is good, and we'll be good. Love this.
As a father of a son with the same challenges living far away from family, I am very happy that you could make this happen. Good luck with the move.
Kent: Ok guys, for the next 1,5 month drop everything Mort have planned, the next set will be Lillia tactics
Mort will return to CA TFT HQ and the first he sees when returning is Rammus: 1/2/3 star (2cost unit) armor/magic resist: 1: 10/5 2: 13/8 3: 100/96
1:38 LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I almost had a heart attack when I saw that thumbnail.
Best of luck mort. We love you!
Congratulations Mort! Glad you’re able to do all this!
Can we get Kent to do patch rundowns here on the channel? Would be fun for him to be the "mortdog" for us while you're moving. Also i wish you and all of your family all the best!
That's what I thought too, would be fun to watch
That'd be fun, but I don't think Kent would be fit to do that now. Mort mentioned that Kent is now the lead of the finalization team (which currently is on Set 12) so I don't think he is paying much attention to live.
That would be amazing xD

Mortdog, you just unlocked this area of the map that you can finally live in the way that you and your family want. Much love and respect from Greece.
Thanks for the update and transparency as always Mort!! I hope the move and transition goes well for you and your family!!

That's awesome news Mort, congrats on the new house I hope it's everything your family is hoping for
Congrats! And where would we find the new rundowns now?
He said there won't be any rundowns while he's gone, just patch notes
Wish you the best Mort. Hope everything goes smooth and works out perfectly. You're awesome!
Also holy shit what a rollercoaster of emotions as in "OH NO HE'S LEAVING RIOT/TFT - oh it's cool just moving - OH NO HES LEAV- oh ok it's fine"
All the best Mort! As tough as moving can be i hope everything goes well!
Welcome back, Mort. We missed you.
