I'm pretty sure Riot make bad balance decisions for a reaction and to manipulate their playerbase.

Riot know that League is slowly falling apart around them. They know that they have to keep League in the public consciousness. I believe that they do this by deliberately feigning incompetence. The more time that you people spend raging about Riot's bad buisness practices or balance decisions, the more that it generates publicity for Riot.

We are living in an age where companies have grown so powerful, that they can begin outwardly ignoring their main consumer base (Just look at Disney). I am pretty sure that Riot buff hated champions like just to get a reaction out of people. They know that people are not going to stop playing or shelling out money for skins etc with mummy's credit card. (I stopped paying for anything in this game months ago, when I worked out what Riot was doing).

If you really want Riot to begin listening to the player base again, creating "rage" posts is not going to solve the issue. We have to do the opposite and ignore Riot, ignore their blatant attempts to manipulate people. The very fact that a "rant" board exists highlights Riot's contempt for its own playerbase and their own hubris and arrogance is on full display.

They won't listen to you, not unless everyone begins to reject League in favor of other products and demand better quality. You have to ignore them for things to get better. They are like a playground bully, doing things just to get your attention and feeding off your reaction. Don't give them the satisfaction.
