Riot Games is trying to stop employees from taking legal action in court

Last year, Riot told us that the company takes these kinds of allegations seriously and investigates them thoroughly. "We remain committed to a deep and comprehensive evolution of our culture to ensure Riot is a place where all Rioters thrive."...
