Riot, instead of constantly pushing new content, why not step back and fix some bugs instead?

I'm still encountering bugs that are 2+ years old. I know that Riot makes its money by pushing new content, but leaving in 2 year old bugs is sloppy and honestly takes away alot of fun from the game. Here's just a few:

  • Blitzcrank passvie animation and sound effect loop for the entire game after proccing once.
  • Loading screen loads you in after the game has already started, and has a high tendency of crashing.
  • Minion block is complete RNG. You can get blocked by a single stray minion and be able to walk through a whole army of them, it's rather random, and pathing doesn't take into account the hitboxes of minions as far as I can tell, meaning your champion can just walk into them and get stuck.
  • Most of the tooltips don't accurately reflect what an ability does.
  • % hp based dmg and executes are calculated incorrectly (Try playing Ziggs while holding a calculator, you'll notice how far off it is).
  • Death recap has many bugs, including incorrectly stating damage types, incorrectly stating what ability dealt the damage, and showing nameless abilites.
  • and many more

They won't do that until their entire sense of direction changes. They care more about money, they can deny it all they want but their priorities are focused on how they can mooch off the player base until the squeezed every last drop.

Why do popular champs get skins while old ones don't? They get more money.

Why fix bugs, which will cost more time when we can promote those cool hextech chests for that money!

It's honestly sad. I really wish Riot cared more about their game.

I really just want Riot to stop releasing new champions altogether.

At least, until we fix the ones that are already there.

I hope they fix the bugs of Warwick

  • the q is clunky
  • the w is sometime active when it shouldn't be, sometime not active when it should be (like, every game, all the time, w is really bugged)
  • the R sometimes has a juge hitbox, but more often go through (this is game changing sometimes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owL6FUUkg9Q

Because different people work on those things, and the skills necessary for those jobs are not transferable. It would require new hires, and adding more people to a company is not an immediate solution to those issues in itself.

Pretty sure the champ production/VGU teams are different than the bug fixing and balance teams.
