The League of Legends developer [URL='https://www.jacobwolf.report/p/riot-games-eliminating-46-positions?sd=pf']confirmed to journalist Jacob Wolf[/URL] that it had eliminated the positions, which were largely concentrated in the company's talent acquisition, recruiting, and publishing departments as well as a few roles in esports and support.
