Adressing Riot's absence from the gameplay board
This is an open letter to anyone in Riot,
Hello, I'm King Braum, I've played this game for over 4 years, longer even if you count the time I played the game on and off around season 1, and ever since I've started playing this game, I've loved it. To save my allies last moment from teamfights, fighting along side them as I desperatly try to keep everyone alive, slowly pressing forward to the enemy nexus, collecting champions to add to my collection and staying up late at night to learn everything I could possibly about them from their abilities, to their cooldowns to even their lore. I found players, a community, friends to share my passion with.
This is quite possibly the greatest community I've had the pleasure to be a part of and this is a game I will always look back fondly off and I want to keep it like that but there's a problem, the game feels like it is in shambles, jungle is ruined, ADCs cry out as the botlane slowly becomes more and more obsolite to the game, more and more damage is added as towers are made paper thin, the game feels rushed with tanks and glasscannon seemingly standing on a hill of the skeletal remains of champions that cant survive in this new meta. the runes have taken away the identity of players, blue essence the spoils of war as the game feels unrewarded. and the community cries out. it begs for answer in the one place where we hope for answers, but in return we find nothing.
EDIT: most of this was writen as a massive rant after noticing the mass amount of players in the gameplay section being bascially ignored. yes, Meddler is doing well with his posts, answering various questions of the playerbase but I feel like more Riot members should be active in the actual gameplay section or otherwise, more Rioters should hang around Meddlers post answering the various questions people have. Either way this is somewhat of a minor complaint written mainly out of frustation so dont pay all too much attention to it
