Riot should Fix up the game before releasing champs / reworks.

tieger05·Jul 20, 2017·3 votes·400 views

I wouldn't mind it if riot took a break from new champs and releases and focused on making the game a whole lot better. Things they can do before Season 8:

New game modes
Halloween Themed Summoners Rift
Christmas Themed Summoners Rift
Voice Comms
Kill gold reworked
Game too snowbally <<<<<<<<<< let the debate commence.
Objectives reworked
game length fixed (40 minutes for +/- 20lp not worth)
matchmaking fix --- this season's matcmaking has been the worst.

I know riot works hard to release new champs and reworks, and I want to thank them so much for it, but there are other things they need to do before releasing more champions and making it harder to balance later on. a lot of people think the game is dying because riot are just adding fuel to the fire by releasing more champs to such an unbalanced game. now's their time to prove them wrong.

Honestly; as an old time player. I'd love to see season map themes come back.

Why fix the game when they can release a new champion every 8 weeks that the kids can spend the pocket money $$ on?

If you haven't realised yet RIOT are a soul less company hell bent on profit over integrity you have so much to learn about the world. When Tenecent bought them out the writing was on the wall. The whole business model now is like a Casino setting you up to fail so you keep playing, it is gambling addiction for kids, just legally.

I totally agreed, its about time to fix all the actual problems and balance issues before releasing any more new shinies. Let's balance the champions, balance the items, go through all the problems with turrets and the like and then fix all of them for a couple months and while we're at it, make that damned new client actually load the end screen in less time than it takes to watch Stephen King's "Rose Red" (4 1/2 hours) in a single sitting. Throw in Team Builder again for normal blinds and Will of the Ancients HAS to return for mages.

They already make new game modes. They don't make permanent ones because of the manpower it would take to actively balance them.
Why? Maybe as an event, but they have no obligation to create new ones if there are other priorities.
Why? And there already was one.
This community is too horrid for voice comms. If people really want to, discord and curse voice are already convenient enough for those purposes.
Kill gold is fine. Its how easy kills are that's the problem.
Game isn't too snowbally, its just too easy to kill people in the first place.
Objectives are fine atm. If anything infernal and mountain need to be nerfed. That's about it.
Game length is fine. Your low LP gains are because of your MMR. Last time they tried to change game length they fucked up the entire game for 2 seasons.
This season's matchmaking is not the worst, but they could close the MMR range allowed in any given game, similar to seasons 5 and earlier.

#And how about the #1 thing they could improve with the game before season 8: Balance

What season is worse? There's such a clusterfuck of reworks and champion releases it's crazily unbalanced, they are still balancing the Urgot rework and were about to nerf his slow by like triple his slow effect after they released Kayne, reworked eve and will have released Zoe. They shouldn't be implementing nerfs and buffs so hard and so long after their changes if they are releasing more unbalanced champions/reworks during the time it takes to nerf that shit. I dread to think of how long it will take to balance the new runes if they release champ changes/ champs next season at the current rate. Only season I'd say was worse is season 6 with the cancer matchmaking F L E X queue, but even then the game-play wasn't even that bad.

Not saying Riot is entirely hopeless either, they did a good thang nerfing cheese champs like Janna, and I can understand why league isn't balanced to the extent of being boring, but i'm struggling to think of other champs that have low risk, low mechanic, high reward which haven't been nerfed (twitch, cait, tristana, soraka, lulu, J4, cho).
