This just in riot is completely disconnected from the community

"> In mid-season, one of our projects was to increase the attractiveness and general agency of the support role. By giving supports access to income streams that they never had before, they are also much more impactful. > > For reference, Redemption and Locket also are very cost efficient , though most of their power is in the actives. I would say what players find particularly offensive (though correct me if I'm wrong) is the relatively low skill expression of Ardent's power. So yes, I would agree that the role and items have been power crept, but this needs to be held in the context of supports having less gold income as well." - trading stance

In one ear and right out the other, they don't care about really balancing out the current meta.

So correct him. I understand frustration in dealing with Riot on a lot of things, but I don't think responding with our teeth barred is the best course of action if we want to talk with Riot on these subjects.

I've never seen his name before this week but over the last few days he has made a lot of.... strange comments for a rioter. Not sure exactly how to explain the difference. He has been heavily down voted most of the time I've seen him on the boards. He also replied to a thread about games being too short " Oftentimes, the feeling that games are too snowbally is actually misdiagnosed as: won games are drawn out for too long. If the game is decided at 10 minutes, forcing players to stick around for the entire time is probably bad.

On the flip side, your experience of games feeling like they are over, when they actually aren't may be misdiagnosed as "comeback mechanics are not clear". We do a reasonable job of displaying bounties and other rubber banding mechanics for gold, but not for XP."

Pretty much saying that the OP is wrong because they are wrong. The OP should surrender if the game isn't won by 10 minutes otherwise it would be a bad experience for the team...?

I guess he just doesn't seem like a rioter. "Correct me if I'm wrong" is just opening a huge can of worms and shouldn't be said by anyone in a high position. It is just an excuse to push your opinion into something that should be statistic based.
