Riot, why do you stray away from the community?
Dear,_ Riot. _ I truly do ask why, why are you starting to stray away from the community? We know you want to make money, and it's all about profit and all, but the thing is... There are all these great threads with great suggestions, some threads with pretty bad rage suggestions, but still... I find it, that you are slowly wanting more and more money. I do sound extremely ungrateful for the things you have done for us, but still. You stray more and more, and were a shadow from the company you used to be before.
There are many examples of you guys getting more greedy. I know you're not forcing us to buy anything, but still. I've spent about 200$ on this game, and a frequently paying customer, yet - you still make us get more money. You make GREAT skins, true that, but things like Rune Pages. You kind of ask yourself when you see this, why? Why do I have to play 60 games or so, to get a simple rune page, that I could've been using actually getting runes.
I'm trying not to sound rude, but you guys still stray away from the community, more and more. The balance team, gets more ridiculous as the months pass on. Where is the lower East Coast ping you promised also? Before you guys were huge, you cared about the community, it was so much fun, you helped others out, and took in the community suggestions a LOT more then before. The bigger the company, the more greedy.
Your the ONLY game, that I am aware of, that is not pay to win, which is a good thing. However, you guys still are doing things that are completely crazy, Feral, and now... - Sated Devourer? Remove the farming item ENTIRELY. Junglers are not meant to farm all day in the jungle, and then become crazy overpowered.
League used to be the game that I loved, but now, it's slowly disappearing into your average MOBA. League is starting to die out in my opinion, and I bet that Riot has noticed a SLIGHT change in sales, right? I can feel it, 30% of my friends list has already quit, and I have over 180 friends.
Please, stay to your roots Riot. There are lots of things you need to fix - toxicity, sated devourer, balance changes, and more. Alot of the threads that I have seen are ranting against you. Why don't you take in these considerations? You guys are the biggest company that has the** BIGGEST GAME IN THE WORLD**! This game is one of the~~ best~~, used to be the best games to ever exist.
There are even more absurd changes that you guys keep adding, Kalista's insane dash, and things that Capital adds, that add new "mechanix in the game", yet break the game badly. We don't want new mechanics Riot. I'd MUCH rather have a balanced game, and more items, and more exciting things then more mechanix.
Your confusing complexity, and depth. Your making the game EXTREMELY complex now, and releasing champions with overloaded kits. Sometimes, we just want something simple, yknow? Please, give us a simple champion next spotlight, something that is simple - yet effective.
Please Riot, this is something I bet the whole community sort of agrees on. I am TOTALLY grateful of your guys' work, but you feel like you are slowly straying away. You're a great company - but are sort of fitting into the average "MOBA".
