Former WoW Lead System Designer GhostCrawler Finds a New Home
Greg "GhostCrawler" Street, Finds a New Home at Riot Games
A few months ago, Greg "GhostCrawler" Street surprised many World of Warcraft players when he announcing that he would be stepping down as the Lead System Designer for WoW. GhostCrawler had become somewhat of the face of the company to many fans as "that guy who nerfed my class" and even as an in-game rare mob.
Recently it was confirmed that GhostCrawler has taken up the mantle of Lead Game Designer at Riot Games working on League of Legends. Riot has confirmed that the current Lead Game Designer Morello will not be stepping down and it is currently unclear what role GhostCrawler will fill in such an important position.
When asked about the change, Riot's own Xelnath responded by saying:
"I worked with Greg both directly and indirectly for years. He's an awesome guy who took on the impossible task of doing what Morello has done for league for so long on a game where people are incredibly invested in their character and any nerf is an extremely personal offense.
It's a tough, tough job. Greg tanked it like a champion.
I'm excited to see how helps bolster our ranks."
