Former WoW producer Raymond Bartos joins Riot's League of Legends MMO

Gamesradar reports that former World of Warcraft producer Raymond Bartos has joined Riot's long-awaited League of Legends MMO and reunited with engineer Orlando Salvatore.

Bartos and Salvatore previously worked together on some of the better-received features of modern WoW, including Plunderstorm and the gear update. Bartos said on Twitter, "From my very first conversation with Riot, I immediately gravitated toward their values—and I was genuinely impressed by how clearly those values showed up throughout the interview process. It made it obvious that kindness, respect, and care aren’t just words here, but something the team truly lives by."

He said he is particularly excited to work with Salvatore again and added, "Given our track record on World of Warcraft, I have a feeling we’ll be moving fast on day one." The announcement was presented as the first major update for the year on Riot's long-awaited League of Legends MMO.
