Dear Rito, I don't like your balance decisions

So I'm going to threaten you by saying that if you don't do things exactly like I want it, believe it or not, I'm going to stop playing. You should obviously contort your game to my whims since you have to meet all my demands just to keep me playing the game.

People have a right to their opinions. Just like you have a right to be a condescending asshole. That is all.

TehNACHO26 votes

A right to opinions is one thing. Childishly threatening the company with disconnecting forever and acting like it matters? Different thing entirely.

Uh. Is it wrong to threaten and take your business elsewhere? No. It's not. You're a condescending asshole, however.

And you're a self-absorbed one, and I'm a pompous one for pointing it out, so I guess we're all even now.

Every customer matters, especially if they want the game to continue to be a success. For the most part people are asking for good fixes not specific ones. Those who do are merely giving out suggestions. The jungle changed caused a lot of people to be angry and some even quit jungling or the game entirely. Again you can be condescending all you want but when you nerf fun, in this case the jungle, people will leave and it will effect their profits directly regardless of how hard you dick ride riot.

Those who quit because of the preseason would have quit anyway. Everyone should know how much things can change during thhis time of the year, and we need some time to figure out how things actually work. In preseason 3 when they introduced the spirit stone items many jungler got executed when trying to start the old way (cloth armor+5 potions) and they came to the forums to complain how bad the new jungle is. League has such a huge playerbase, they can't really change anything without upsetting some people. The goal of the developers is to enable tanky junglers again and make Vi, Lee, Rengar weaker so in the end they will have to figure something out to make it so.

And yet... AS ALWAYS... they did the exact opposite of what they 'intended' to do. This happens with pretty much every change. They say something needs fixing, then go and make a change that makes it worse.

If they were threatening harassment or violence, that would be childish and you would have a point. Simply threatening to stop playing and taking their business elsewhere is perfectly reasonable.

I am an unranked player and I have invested almost 10€ in this game Riot! If you don't do as I say you will lose your most valuable piece of the community. #GimmewatIwant

Also your balance team and probably the people that create champions and lore and maintain the servers, and the people that run eSports (because they turn the focus to eSports), and probably the netcoders too for good measure, should all face death by firing squad. Your HR and financial departments are OK however.

Riot needs to tell their art team to start working on repairing the servers, we can't be having all these champion visual updates when servers are a bit less than perfect.

SecretAgentHulk3 votes

Actually the server team needs to get their asses working on how unbalanced Kalista is. Once she's fixed we can put art on servers.

Mistress Madoka2 votes

Actually, First the PR team Needs to fix how buggy the User interface is and then balance the Jungle Stats. Once those are fixed, then we can put servers into Kalista

Actually, Tryndamere and Ryze need to sacrifice their firstborn children to have any chance of hiring people.

Now I'm imagining a bunch of artists and writers trying to figure out how coding and internet works xD

I'm quitting because my main is no longer viable in the new jungle, and the new jungle in general is just annoying, and not as fun anymore. Now it's more like laning, and I no longer have interest. I guess I could try to learn support.

Because the jungle is tougher, and the items are very strong, there's a much wider discrepancy between jungler strength. It's now a game of rock paper scissors like laning. I tried to play a game as Diana, but Xin Xiao would just invade with his stupid true damage item and kill me while I couldn't escape (the camps' respawn time is stupidly long). Plus, the Scuttlecrab is random and too significant of an advantage for such an objective, the stacking Dragon buffs are super OP for snowballing teams, and Kalista is laughably broken. There are a lot of nonsensical balance bugs that need to be worked out before S5 starts. That's what the preseason is for, I hope. Fixing these messes before the season begins.

Anyway, my point is that some people aren't threatening to leave out of attention, but ACTUALLY dislike the new changes and are simply losing interest. Rito has no obligation to cater to QQ'ers, so if you don't like it, don't play.

Remember, it's the first week of the 2-3 month preseason.

You need to fire (insert Riot employee in charge of something) because I don't agree with what they're doing, or at least make them go work on the servers.

Riot: OH MY GOD IF WE DONT CHANGE THE ENTIRE GAME FOR THIS ONE PLAYER HE IS GOING TO QUIT!! QUICKLY DO SOMETHING!! LoL,wp. I don't think anyone else saw the sarcasm here.

Honestly the only thing that has made me want to quit this game after being arounds since the release of Wukong and Leona is Kalista. I see her in every game and before you give me that "just stun her" or "learn her counters" bullshit this fucking community always does, I want to make something clear. When you are playing a ranged or melee champ, and she hits and dashes away to the point you can't target her, what's her counter. CC? You can't get her in range. AOE? She just AA's and dashes. Honestly the only thing to make me act toxic for a game. THE ONLY THING since I tried to mature up and realize I was an asshole. Now that was thrown out the window because nobody on my team could touch Kalista.

RoyaiChaos4 votes

She's actually pretty slow, a bit hard to hit maybe, but you should be able to catch up to her. Honestly, I've kited people better as Sivir/Ashe than some of the Kali's I've seen. Vayne's kite with her ult is much better than Kali's passive as well.

Mistress Madoka1 votes

Ashe's (essentially) Permenant Slow pretty much makes Kalista's Hopping useless.

Hellish Prophecy1 votes

Yeah I realize that now haha. Got in a bad mood last night and my dumbass decided to do another match against a Kalista after 2 frustrating ones. Hence my rage-induced post A friend and I were discussing who can render it useless earlier. Apologies for the original rage. Still hate her but now that I know what can help against her it's no longer a burning hatred. XD

Good thing you went into detail about your problems with the balance issues.

If you want to leave, then farewell.item 3070

They actually made nidalee a lot less cancer, made Sion a lot better (I enjoy him) Rengar is a lot less annoying too and I could go on with my list.
