Preface, this is not my opinion, but it's come up a lot in the past couple weeks...
"CertainlyT's champions are frustrating and unfun to play against, and it feels as if he thinks that these frustrations are good and more challenging for the game. It's unhealthy to literally design a champion meant to frustrate and annoy the player base when facing them in game."
That's all constructive. That's all reasonable. I'm not getting into this argument, because I don't care about it like that, but the argument itself is honestly not "wrong."
Where it crosses the line, no matter who agrees with you, is when you arbitrarily make a statement that they should be fired for your beliefs.
He's doing his job. Arguably, people may or may not think he's doing a bad job...but he's not doing anything wrong, technically, and calling for someone's termination from your opinion and bias is not at all constructive or respectful.
First of all, if you want a job done right, do it yourself. I don't see you designing any champions, writing any game code, or any of that. If you're such an expert that you can call for his firing that cleanly, why not simply show him up and take his job? Right...you're not an actual expert in the field.
Second, if you don't like the performance or how something is done, you work to resolve the problem. The problem is not the man. The problem is the design and the player frustration.
Now...speaking of player frustration, I'll throw out my own unpopular opinion: this game is the MOBA equivalent of fucking Call of Duty. People come off consistently in all games at any elo as elitist, and in low elo, these "elites" give up and start a flame war at the literal first sign of ANYTHING going wrong. In mid-to-high elos, there's been an increasing number of hard inting trolls that quite literally never intended to play to win. And to top all of that off, the system punishes anyone who gets fed up with this environment almost more than they punish the cause of the frustration, especially in the cases of hard-inting trolls who stay out of chat and report those who protest their antics. Then to put the icing on the cake, everyone comes HERE whenever they have a problem with anything, as if us or the (volunteer!) mods can just go pull a Red aside whenever we feel like it and whisper sweet nothings in their ear until they let them off the hook. How many jumps in logic does it take to get to that point? Or is it more like someone just jumped off the logic train in general?
What needs to happen before we start calling for people to be fired is to work on all the DOZENS of reasons this community has been going to hell on the rift.
On another note...you know why they disabled finishers right?
That happened because of a post on these boards regarding photosensitive epilepsy. Riot changed everything for a player-base minority, I don't think it's exactly fair to say they don't give a shit. It's more fair to say they don't give a shit about garbage complaints about trifles.
Aery.
