Now that I've thought about it, did Riot really ever listen to us about game balance?

Us: There's too much damage in the game. Please nerf it. Riot: No, but here's some more!

Us: Turret plates are just going to make the game more snowbally. Please don't add them to the game. Riot: Uuuuummm, no.

Us: X champion is cancer to play against. Please nerf them. Riot: 5 movespeed. Good enough?

Us: Akali is cancer to play against. Please nerf her. Rammus: Ok.

(personal one)

Me: Turrets are nearly useless. Please make them attack faster or deal more damage OR EVEN FIX THE TARGETING SO THAT IT ATTACKS THE CHAMPION THAT MOST RECENTLY DAMAGED AN ALLY PLEASE. Riot: Sorry, but that wouldn't make an exciting eSport. So no.

Really, Riot didn't listen to us at all! (Except for Akali) But with their combined 200 years of experience, they create Senna and Aphelios and Sett and Yuumi to a certain extent.

That being said, I understand why they made the game faster in a sense so that's it easily accessible to casual players, but I honestly believe there should be a shorter version of the game that's balanced to be fast and a longer version of the game that's balanced to be slow or, or, OR JUST BRING BACK NEXUS BLITZ AND THEN BALANCE THE ACTUAL GAME CORRECTLY.

Thank you for reading. Posts like this were either agreed with heavily or slammed into the ground because of 'crazy ideas' or 'the person making the post not having enough experience.'

This post is not a joke and everything I said in this post I stand by, so in these final days of the boards' existence, please tell me what you think and be nice.

They did, a couple of times.

We got dumbass shit like Conqueror from it.

The community is incompetent and couldn't balance a single fucking thing to save their lives.

I let you in on a game design secret.

A balanced multiplayer game is not a good thing. An ever-changing imbalanced one is.

When tank meta happened everyone complained about long games and no damage. Games were made faster and more damage was added and people complained theres more damage. Riot nerfs ads to reduce damage and everyone complained. Riot re gave ads damage and everyone complained. Riot listens boards just is a shit show of toxicity.
