My Biggest Gripe About Twisted Treelines (TT) Upcoming Removal

I just find it weird, that despite TT having a ranked aspect, TT was never mentioned in the form or eSports, official or player organized. Nor was there ever a time Riot has praised players for being so passionate about a game mode to go as far as to get Challenger in it. Yes there's a leaderboard but there was never a time where you heard, "Y team is the best TT players of 20XX / Season Z!"

Not saying there is a need for having company sponsored teams compete in TT but the ranked teams at the end of season are never celebrated for reaching the first spot. The only time you'll ever see them is if you take the time out of your day and sift through the client to find the top players and teams for TT on the leaderboard.

But TFT on the other hand, only 1 week into it's beta, Riot kneeled before the players who played their first ever 5 games of TFT and immortalized them on an official webpage. And what about the TT players?

So basically, even though there was a competitive aspect to TT, the call to climb the ladder, players aren't celebrated outside of the leaderboard and seasonal rewards. Whether or not the community for TT was very small the active engagement by Riot in TTs community was very lacking.

Riot never gave a shit about either Dominion or Twisted Treeline.

That's why it was never celebrated. That's why there was next to no support. That's why they're removing it.

They don't care about those players or how the removal impacts them.

#The only reason they care about TFT is because DotA released a popular game mode and Riot wanted to cash in on it.

It's just typical Riot playing favorites as always. A lot of the players, from the old Dominion forums, that stopped playing this game were smart. They saw all of this coming years ago. You can go over to the old forums and see them making the same complaints that are commonly made about Riot's decisions now.

I've hung around all this time with the small hope that Riot would change for the better and not become just another soulless business. Guess I was wrong again.

Pardon me but I'm sure if more people cared about TT Ranked, more people would care about TT Ranked.
