Greg Street, the head of creative development at Riot Games, who has been working for the studio since 2013, announced on his Twitter account that he was leaving his position:
Hey internet. Thanks for all the support over the past few months while I was afk

I am back now with some big news to share: I have decided to step down from my role at Riot Games
"A combo of personal and professional considerations led me to down this path, - Street wrote, - We experienced some devastating personal losses last year and I want to be closer to my surviving family".
However, Street assured fans that the MMO based on LoL is still in development - "the MMO is in good hands and it's the right time to hand over the reins for the next phase." The developer also said that he will stay in the game development field, as he has been offered "some great offers".
