Why is Gameplay and Balance full of constant complaining?

Taric the Gay··8 votes·438 views

Just a thought, but can we get threads where people comment on something being good or well balanced? Or recommend good synergies and good counter picks. I do not see very much of that. Just outrage over some champion or some item being unfairly balanced and then 5+ threads repeating the same frustrations. So lets post more happy/useful things please.

Because Silver people think they know how things work and they like to blame the system instead of looking at themselves

That can work both ways too, if you let your hubris blind you.

high elo people DO know how things work, otherwise they wouldn't be high elo. riot isn't going to balance the game around people that don't know what a ward is.

theres no point in discussing that x champ is balanced tho

But there is a point in talking about what works well against x champ right now so people know how to counter it. Like right now Cho'gath is all the rage right now. What counters him in the current meta?

Generally because people with no bone to pick about balance don't want to take time away from enjoying the game to say that they enjoy playing the game. Just how this kinda stuff works [zombie-brand-clap]

  • People like to complain on the internet. This law seems to be as immutable as those of thermodynamics so you'll just have to deal with it.
  • To be frank Riot DOES make odd balancing and design decisions now and then. Balancing for pro play as Riot openly said they did for 7.15 means you're going to imbalance the game for the other 99.999% of players out there, because professional and non-professional play are two ENTIRELY different games with completely different dynamics. Meaning we now have a completely busted Nasus and other champions that were already borderline OP in soloQ getting buffed meaning the overall quality of SoloQ has taken a drop.

But yes, more constructive criticism and less shouting and cynicism would be nice.

People get mad when they spend their time on a game, because they genuinely enjoy the game, then riots balance team decides to shit all over that and kinda delete everything that made the game fun.

if you want a fun anti mage synergy with urgot get a item 3091 since it does only a 3rd of the damage but not the stacking

Oh really? Does this mean that Urgot is now an off-meta mid laner who is seeing more popularity as word gets out about this?

Because the balance team sucks and doesn't their job, so if people never complained, they might just never do their job.

Still waiting on Draven, Thresh, Akali, Riven, Twitch nerfs.

Who would have thought a thread complaining about complaining would have complaining?

mind blown

yeah! let's all just jerk each other off because we all agree and have the exact same opinions about the game and game balance! because riot can literally do no wrong.

You're missing the point of the thread. Whether or not we complain Riot will still do what they do. Crying about X champ being overpowered is pointless. So why not make a constructive discussion about team comps or lane counters or item synergies and stuff like that? Cho'gath is really strong right now so how do we go about countering it? Throwing your hands up in the air and just saying he's broken is not a discussion. So let's get better at that starting... now.

Yes sounds like a great idea...

While champions below 47% winrates are being nerfed to the ground.

Gameplay and Balance is a joke. I come here for laughs because all the shit you guys say is retarded and asinine. Gay, you mean well but stay in GD. These losers are hopeless wannabes and their opinions should only be laughed at. Even in this thread you see children speaking when they haven't been given permission to speak.

Like this guy for instance. He completely derails the thread in this comment by talking about stuff that's not even related to the thread at all. Then people come in and spread around a shit storm and argue over something that didn't even have to do about the topic in the first place. Now this little twerp is gonna come on here and be all "offended" about me calling him out on his bullshit and probably report me because his little pecker feels insignificant. This is just how things are on this part of the forums. They are unredeemable. Come here for laughs or don't come at all is what I say.
