Riots balance team's Issues Summed up...

Their issue is their unwillingness to do what is necessary even if it pisses off the community. It started back in 2014, possibly sooner, but this is the earliest I can find where they blatantly ignore an issue. https://i.imgur.com/4jfzIfM.jpg[/img}

There you have it, we wanted to make changes, but we didn't want to piss off players. Instead we decided to piss off a bunch of other players by not making the changes that were necessary for the game. (Or at least that is how I read it)

Whats this, jungler damage/clear speed is too high, which is causing them to clear jungle too fast, giving them too much exp, which allows them to be ganking too soon. Better just change scuttle crab to make junglers fight each other instead of laners early in the game.

Whats this, mages are clearing minions too well, and then not being interactive because they don't want to feed kills? Better change their base mana, and mana regen to force them to be more active, instead of encouraging fights by lowering the risk of fighting.

Whats this, there are a few champions in a class that doesn't actually offically exist anymore under-preforming? (Bruisers) Better make conqueror rune, that makes the game have issues where armor no longer really exists vs certain champions.

Whats this, adc's are dealing too much damage? Better have an early game shift away from crit marksmen and let on hit marksmen take over, because its the crit, and not the fact that we completely removed the old rune system which was allowing players to customize vs different types of threats. All hail our damage over lords.

Whats this, Supports deal too much damage? Better make enchanter supports better through items like ardent censer, and bonus shielding, only to not reduce it because its actually really op. And then instead of just reducing their power start discussing things like shield breaking items, because rather than balancing a class we need to change these other classes to handle the class that we just over powered.

Whats this, Adc's are abusing another item that was designed for melee champions? Better nerf the fucking item, because we wouldn't want to hurt the adc's feelings by making another melee only, or having a "If melee" type passive. Only took a few seasons on the stereks gauge to finally be fixed...

Seriously they need to stop chasing their tails on this one and just nerf OP champions/items instead of trying to change the game around that champion/item not seeing any nerfs.

It doesnt even seem like that is as true as it once was. That tweet is 4 years old from a guy that isnt even working on league anymore.

I fail to see the difference in uproar for the RNG crabs vs nerfing lee. Both arent popular

a lot of these changes were good for the game lol

Yeah, make mid interactive. How is that bad? Fighting and losing trades should be meaningful. That isnt a bad thing.

Oh I wouldn't mind interacting with my lane opponent most of the time iiiiiif they couldn't dodge most of my crap because they have like fifty blinks or have wave clear without really worrying about mana, particularly in the instances where certain lane opponents can just ruin you and your tiny mana pool with the press of a button.

The point is, there were just some lanes you didn't want to interact with because trying to would turn out that they are uninteractive in an entirely different way than just shoving the wave, since they completely dictate the flow of the lane, and that's not fun for anyone but that player.

Or you can like start roaming if you want more action and the two of you are only shuving the lane. Control ward is like 75 gold atm buy one ir get the red trinket and start gankin other lanes.

It's pretty much what I started doing at this point unless I get one of those lanes I can kill and do so reliably. But Botlane is always an entertaining shit show, so that's usually where the fun is.

I just think you guys are sceard of changes.

I will say this "riot can do what they want with the game it will still be the same game for the vast magorety".

You guys are just over exaggerating cause few streamers "feel" that the game isnt balanced dereclty for them to constantly win and milk the game. Im sure as hell that whatever riot makes they will be a streamer complaning about it and his bronze fanbase blindly standing next to him crying.

League is fine for 90% of its player base and its a really good game atm.

But players want tanks to not tank anything even thou they are full tank.

Carrys and mages to not do damage even thou they are full damage.

And supports to now shield, heal or bust as much cause "its not supporting when a support kills you".

Playd this game from day 1 beta and my only complane is that they removed old fiora when the new one coud have been a new cham since they didnt keep anything from her old kit and them banning Dunkey. But thats about it league is a good game if you play it right. [zombie-brand-mindblown]

Lee is one of my main pocks aswel but im not a one trick lets face it streamers are one of the main reasons this game gets a badname.

They advert the game to a younger odiance with facts not prove. They intreduced this "one tricking" into the game. Thanks to that 16 year olds get attached to a champio and ignor the 99% of the geme. Then when that champ is rightfully nerf they cry hence why yasuo and zed are just a little coller then the rest of the heros reliced at that time.

Ontop of sabotajing games with stream snipers. I cant complane to much thou since ill streamsnipe when i can aswell. Thanks to streamers openly showing my game placments as a jungler its just to toxic geting all my camps taken or setting up anbushes in my jungle from all the information the streamer is leaking..

Imo if your not masters you sudnt stream since the streamer start to care about sniping only at that point will they cover their minimap. And still they leak out everything els but the minimap..

Yes streamsniping is bannable but in all my reports i think ive only punished like 4 stream snipers the rest just for a free win out of it..
