Why does Riot not listen to the community?

It's very clear with a quick hover that no one likes Zed, we all agree he is a bit much right now, no one likes fighting yasuo, and we want more champs to be meta. Meta slaves make the game unplayable and annoying, and yet Riot looks at us and says "Go cry about it and buy more skins". Why?

They listen to data. If you don't like him, ban him.

Community complain >>>> Community discusses >>>> community complains >>>> riot listens and takes then longest breath in history >>>> boards now in arguments + constant hate >>>> cycle.

Why should they. It’s not like anyone can come up with a unbiased opinion and actually convince riot so easily. Less then the fact complains are so common it just adds up to stop crying..

2 reasons. First and foremost, Did you create the game? Do you develop it?

Next: League is adaptive how come you aren’t?

Clearly alot of people like Zed and Yasuo otherwise they wouldn't be so popular.

Learn to adapt, if you don't like playing vs these champs just ban them, just because you don't seem to enjoy playing vs them doesn't mean other people do. Yasuo has a very annoying kit and resolve tree is pretty good right now, which helps him a lot. I don't see how Zed is OP lol, that champion is just popular. League community just cries about everything over actually adapting to the situation.

Riot does not listen to the Boards when it comes to Gameplay. Nobody wants to hear the amazing balancing ideas of Silver Crybabies who can't fight Zed or Yasuo and then proceed to whine and bitch on the Boards.

It's very clear with a quick hover that a lot of people like Zed. Once again, those aforementioned Silver Crybabies agree he is a bit much right now. Ask literally anyone decent at the game, and they'll say the opposite. Same with Yasuo-- although his powerspike is much more powerful than Zed's. Zed is NOT meta in any sense of the word (yet). He will be, in the coming patches, but he's not there yet. Riot looks at us and says: "Go cry about it and buy more skins for anyone but Zed", considering that Zed only has two purchasable skins over the course of what, 6 years, now?

Your frustration is misplaced. Don't bitch at Riot because you lack the ability to fight Zed/Yasuo effectively. Bitch at yourself and try to improve your laning phases and picks. Improve your micro and macro.

Funny how everyone here takes suggestions and questions raised towards riot as a personal attack. Truly shows the ignorance of the community. Maybe another reason why the community is getting more toxic. Also everyone here is talking about the ‘meta’ when I clearly remember an old thread back from season 2 where a riot employee stated that they created the game not having a particular meta in mind which is what the majority of players especially low elo liked. They could try out new builds which is not there anymore due to the fact that the game has become so streamlined. Out of the 143 league champs only a handful of champs are seen in most games that abuse such opportunities like zed and Yasuo being good examples and that’s exactly what the majority of players don’t want because it has restricted them. Why even create a game with 143 champs when ur not gonna be using most of them? Sadly league has changed for the worse and for most of the people who are being forced to adapt have to ‘adapt for the worse’. Knowing the fact that league’s current state is horrible they apparently as a gaming company cannot revert couple of changes back which basically means if they try experimenting new things which does not work out, u as a player are basically gonna receive the biggest blow because of their mistake which shows unprofessionalism and negligence from their part which is actually not something new from riot’s side.
