Mondays can be tough, but I found a bit of humor in an unusual situation at a recent Riot Games leadership meeting where executives discussed the meaning of “goon.” According to Steven Mortimer, the gameplay director for the League of Legends spinoff Teamfight Tactics, the discussion was amusing and unexpected.

In a recent livestream, Mortimer shared, “At the leadership meeting, they were discussing how they didn’t know what the word ‘goon’ meant, and it turned into an explanation of what gooning entails. That was a real thing that happened.”

This moment reflects the shifting dynamics in the gaming community and highlights the ongoing need for awareness regarding player language and sentiment.
