Dear Riot: Please Don't Let The Baron Changes Go Through

It won't make people take more risks in LC$ and will just ruin the possibility of comebacks in solo queue.

Towers are already paper and snowballing is already rampant enough so listen to us for once.

Don't let the baron changes go through

They won't listen. They've proven that much already.

Sorry buddy, unfortunately you aren't one of the 100 pro players of this game which means the game isn't tailored to be balanced around you. Seriously though, every time Riot takes a small chip at pro play it basically fucks solo queue and even premade teams who aren't high masters and above. Making pro players get "slightly more kills" results in the snowball shitfest we've seen this season because pros naturally take less chances they aren't likely to win than everyone else.

Meh, don't bother placing your hopes that they would change their minds. They wont.

Only real way we can possibly get through to riot as a whole is to stop spending money on the game collectively and force them to understand that we dont want these changes, but since thats not possible, they wont care

No support. Games need to stop being decided because even though you shit on their Trist/Vayne/any hyper adc, and they're 2/15, they still come back and start becoming unstoppable. If a champion is shut down hard, they should stay shut down. Period. If they nerfed ADC itemization and hypercarries, then sure, remove the changes.

They'll probably not listen, maybe reverse psychology would work? .-.

Again, this doesn't make comebacks harder. It makes them easier. The more powerful a single taken objective is, the greater the swing offered for the team that is behind.

The only way it prevents comebacks is if the team that is behind refuses to contest it at all. And if they do that, they aren't playing the game. PVEing to try and close a gold lead is not playing the game, it's stalling. Fighting against the team that has the gold lead, beating them, and stealing their objective to come back for the win, that takes skill and merits victory.

Meddler and Ghostcrawler are ruining this game, it seems that they enjoy un ruining other people fun, and don't expect to be listened, only if you're a main adc maybe they will listen to you

Here's something I don't get. People assume that if you make the game more forgiving, than people will try to be more aggressive in the early game. But that doesn't account for the fact that maybe they'll fight one time, and if they lose, resort back to doing nothing again. Since the game is more forgiving now, that One kill won't actually mean that much in the long term, resulting in someone not risking fighting someone who has a slight advantage, in favor for safe farm.

Where's the proof that making the game more forgiving, is going to out compensate the smaller advantage gained from getting an early kill? (If that makes sense.) If it isn't advantageous enough to get an early kill, why put forth the effort into doing so? If you do go for the aggro, and you get an early kill, what stops them from using the more forgiving game to null your smaller advantage by not engaging with you anymore?

Riot should just make pro-play a different game client than regular League at this point.

I think they already announced that the changes are canceled for now because of bugs iirc

I don't even see the problem with this. Baron has always and will always be a strategic game ender. That is the point and baron doesn't really help with that at its current state. If you ace a team around say 25 minutes and do baron depending on certain aspects like say wave position and how close the fight was to baron most of time you get maybe one or two towers with a baron buff before the enemy team revives. All this change does is change pushing power which will only be a major problem if it becomes a strategy to sneak baron and that will NEVER become a viable strategy they even lowered the amount of stats it gives you which gives you as the defending team a better chance to possibly win the fight. If we are honest i prefer this change at pro play vs the whole lets give first tower gold a buff and make it easy to run down one lane to get it and i lose the game at 6 minutes to a 3 - 4 man tower dive and my opponent gets a free 600 gold
