"Waaaah the Balance Team never has discussions with us or listens to our feedback"

I wonder what the problem is here

Community doesn't seem to understand that nobody likes to listen to rude people, let alone give them what they demand. Treat people how you want to be treated.

Kai GuyMar 29, 20182 votes

This needs more upvotes.

AirKingNeoMar 29, 20188 votes

Riot doesn't understand that refusing to listen to people makes them angry, and therefore rude towards them.

NineTailedMysticMar 29, 20181 votes

Sounds like no one wins then.

AirKingNeoMar 29, 20183 votes

Riot is supposed to be the leader in this situation.

Respect is a 2-way street

LordGeovanniMar 30, 20181 votes

Thus respect your community they respect you.

C9 Squeeky Mar 30, 20181 votes

That is reciprocation. Maybe you can respectful regardless?

LordGeovanniMar 31, 20181 votes

You could say the same for riots end. Which side should it start on......?

LordGeovanniMar 31, 20181 votes

Certainly not out of the company that wants your hard earned money on what they deem that they are working hard at and thus are earning it.

Tell that to Hashinshin, he raged and they finally started fixing Jax's bugs

PePsiLemoNNMar 29, 201812 votes

They didn't fix the bug cause he raged like a 12 y/o , they fixed cause it was a bug and their job is to fix it lol.

Jinzo TorranceMar 29, 20184 votes

Sure, the bug was around there for like 2-3 months at least, they just ignored it for no reason but they couldn't anymore after Hash video.

AirKingNeoMar 29, 20183 votes

2-3 months? It's been a whole year.

Jinzo TorranceMar 29, 20182 votes

I actually wanted to say that, but maybe just didn't give a shit about Jax bugs so they didn't know it existed.

But here Rickle asks what the bug is and he gets an answer and they still didn't give a shit for 3 months.

Like, Hash is right, this company is pathethic.

ModKnightsKemplarMar 29, 20184 votes

I think that's likely a mistaken attribution of cause and effect.

It's easy for people who are familiar with Hashinshin to assume that he was the reason, but it's likely that Riot already had those on their radar before he made it popular to hate on. It's true that bringing publicity to an issue can incentivize them to work on it, but I seriously doubt the raging helped at all.

AirKingNeoMar 29, 20187 votes

Considering the bug had existed for well over a year, reported multiple times by Hashinshin, and Riot refusing to fix it, I fucking doubt they cared about it at all.

The fact it actually took a bunch of people saying, "This is stupid, why isn't it fixed yet?" instead of just being fixed like a normal thing so absurd.

I want to add Mordekaiser to that as well. Doesn't he have over 100 bugs or something like that? For multiple seasons after the juggernaut update?

If Hash didn't say anything about the bug I doubt it would be fixed at all.

AirKingNeoMar 29, 20181 votes

the difference with Morde is he's so outdated and has so many bugs it's a joke. Most are inconsistent or niche.

Jax is a real champion who a lot of people play and this one bug that happens with 100% consistency and changed his entire laning.

Mordekaiser was released on 2/24/2010

jax was released on 2/21/2009

Saying Mordekaiser is outdated and Jax is a real champion are both bullshit statements.

Both are outdated, and both are real champions. Riots negligence of fixing mordekaisers' bugs is a joke and any champion that is left in the shitter for a super long period of time.

AirKingNeoMar 29, 20182 votes

Except Jax got a fucking rework.

LordGeovanniMar 30, 20181 votes

thats nice then dont force people to be rude to be listend to even if you dont like it at least you do it then

C9 Squeeky Mar 30, 20181 votes

Nobody can force anybody to behave in a certain way, especially in a negative way. People choose to be rude when they let their anger get the best of them. Don't play the Blame Game, that's MarkZ's job.

LordGeovanniMar 31, 20181 votes

True but sitting there and getting fked in your champions azz and telling them to say thank you isn't likely in this modern climate.

DokkaebiMar 28, 201816 votes

Sometimes I'm glad they don't listen to the community

An Enemy SutandoMar 29, 20182 votes

If they did, every champion would deal 0 damage.

LordGeovanniMar 31, 20181 votes

Except adcs and look adcs do all of the damage.

DisembarkMar 29, 20186 votes

Thing is that they do a lot of times...

“Wahh, Darius/Fiora/Camille OP”. Proceeds to nerf all tank killers. Tanks become meta.

“Wahh, can’t kill tanks as ADC”. Buff ADCs, nerf tank items. ADCs do too much damage

“Wahh, tired of Zed/Katarina/Talon 1-shotting me mid”. Lethality and assassins get nerfed. No threat to ADC

“Wahh, mage supports deal too much damage”. Nerf mage supports. Enchanters become meta and countered by playmaking supports.

“Wahh, Thresh/blitz too oppressive”. Nerf them too.

“Wahh, Lucian/Cait too oppressive”. Nerfed into the gutter. Make hyperscalinf ADCs unpunishable.

“Wahh, Lee/Vi/Elise too oppressive - can’t play tank jgs”. Buff cinder and nerf early game jglers.

Now we wonder why enchanter supports with hypercarry ADCs with tank tops/jgs facilitated by waveclear roaming mids is the meta...

A lot of the fucked upness of the meta is a DIRECT fucking result of what the community’s wants. I’ve seen it right in front of my eyes how Riot does pretty much majority of the shit the community whines about...

They’re gonna nerf ADCs and they recently buffed assassins, lets see what meta we get then...

RainXBladeMar 29, 20181 votes

I'm pretty sure 80% of those players who complained about those are silver players.

MalzaMar 28, 20187 votes

We got the playtest team which is full of low diamonds and the balance team which is lower than that.

AhristocatsMar 28, 201812 votes

i'm pretty sure the balance team can teach you the game ulu

MalzaMar 28, 20187 votes

I'm pretty sure there isn't a single balance team or playtest team member who is masters or higher lol.

They do a good job sometimes but a significant amount of changes they make are pretty clueless.

MalzaMar 29, 20182 votes

So two people who don't have riot in their name. So I was mistaken, but that's just two people who are masters+.

Most of their team has not been masters/challenger in the past, they peak at diamond 1 or diamond 2 then apply for the playtest team (and normally drop to diamond 5 or plat afterwards), but some stay around there.

And even if they were, past ranks don't matter too much. Look at players like the rain man, who was previously rank 1 in NA and a top laner for TSM but since then has mainly been hardstuck diamond 5/plat.

AhristocatsMar 28, 201810 votes

jinxylord will teach the game to anyone here me included no matter what his current rank is

those guys have 80% of their time dedicated to working, and 20% to playing, i don't expect jinxylord to hit challenger every single week

MalzaMar 29, 20181 votes

If you are playing at a master/challenger level the whole time it should take ~100 games to get to your appropriate rank, which almost all (if not all) of the playtest team has played since the season started.

AhristocatsMar 29, 201812 votes

so, when they hit master in the past, they got boosted?

seems legit

MalzaMar 29, 20184 votes

Just because you hit master in the past doesn't mean you play at a master tier level now. There are plenty of ex master/challenger players (including previously world class pro players) stuck in low diamond with 500+ games.

AhristocatsMar 29, 20183 votes

So, i hit master like 5 times per season

and now i'm d2, means i don't play "at" a master tier level now? do you know that every single master tier player may fluctuate in their ranking? i didn't meet a single master tier player that didn't get demoted d1 or lower that doesn't mean every single one of them demotes, it means that a lot of them just play a lot, demote, climb back, demote, climb back

and that's how it works for a lot of rioters that were master tier in the past

you seem to want to trashtalk them a lot, but their skill level is actually high and way higher than boards users

MalzaMar 29, 20183 votes

There is a huge difference between a consistent master tier player (who could never drop below d1 unless they're tilting hard) and a diamond 3-1 player who gets a good streak to masters now and again (either by playing better than they normally do, a good meta for them, or sheer luck).

McsquzzyMar 28, 20183 votes

Curious, would you change your name if they ruined Akali for you?

Akali is SO HOTMar 29, 20185 votes

If the rework ruins Akali I'll just thank League for the good times and then uninstall

2Charmnot2CharmMar 29, 20188 votes

She should be fine with certainlyT doing the rework...wait a minute.

Darius Graves Kalista Mordekaiser Caitlyn Thresh Warwick Yasuo Zoe Zyra

I take that back, it was nice knowing you!

SooFr0styMar 29, 20186 votes

I believe all of those are fun for the player so this goes against what you're saying

Automated RivenMar 29, 20183 votes

IDK. Darius is boring as shit to play IMHO. Actually out of that whole list I only enjoy kalista.

2Charmnot2CharmMar 29, 20181 votes

fun for the player

But what about the people playing against those champions? Hell the only 3 champs i hate dealing with from that list is reworked Cait, Zyra, and Zoe, but that doesn't stop the constant complaints i see from people here on the boards.

SooFr0styMar 29, 20183 votes

I mean he said if they ruined her, if certainlyt makes champuons fun, I wouldn't say he ruin her, unless op is more righteous than that

LordGeovanniMar 30, 20182 votes

Akali is already like that but certainly T will surely make it more so
