Solving “problems” in all facets of the platform powering the globally successful League of Legends phenomenon.
|
- Started during one of the worst periods of stability for the platform requiring daily triage. Players could wait hours to login and down-time for bi-weekly patches could be measured in days.
- Worked on stabilizing the platform now showing near 99% scheduled up time supporting over 32.5 million players worldwide in North America, Europe, China, Taiwan and Korea, with over 500,000 CCU.
