Oh for fuck's sake...no.
While I'll consent that there are times when the community has been wrong, when Riot responded to specific complaints, they have done so with careless negligence, and overwhelming ignorance when it came to criticism about said changes.
Riot are like contractors helping us do some home renovations. We said we wanted some air flow through the living room, and wanted an opening on the back wall for a window. Riot responded with a wrecking ball taking out the back wall, throwing a window pane on the ground and congratulating each other. When we rightfully freaked out about them being extreme with this, they got confused, annoyed because this was apparently what we wanted, reminded us that they know better, and walked away plugging their ears.
(Examples: Juggernauts, Sej nerfs, Eve nerfs, "compensation" for removed items, wanting games shorter than one hour, etc.)
Then there are times when we do need extreme tactics like hundreds of rats suddenly moving in and ruining the place. So we called Riot Pest Control to take care of them, they capture half of them, and release them in the backyard and walked away with a "job well done" smile on their faces.
(Examples: Lee / Zed / Yasuo / early Kalista, Fiora, GP "nerfs," 5 AD LUL, 3 AD LUL, slightly trimming Ekko's overloaded kit, etc.
And now we have the current state of our house where they randomly show up with a demolition crew, and fuck up random rooms and dig giant holes in our yard simply because they felt like it. No, that's literally what it is - they felt like it, so they did it. We tried to tell them to stop, we tried compromising, we tried to beg them to show some rational fucking thoughts like they used to years back, but they insist that we want our house to be destroyed, and that we do in alternative fact like these changes.
(Examples: Changing their prerogative to aim toward a "global sport that lasts generations" over the game itself, the refusal to touch their broken reworks at the end of season 5 for the sake of the pro scene - which was fucked up anyway I might add, the entirety of season 6, the random jungle changes because Fearless is an idiot and doesn't know how to jungle, the lethality changes which screwed over assassins and made ranged champs stronger, DYNAMIC QUEUE, gross favoritism and bullshit hypocritical logic defending themselves, and of course, the ever-growing evidence of the "I'm right, you're wrong, deal with it. It's our game, we do what we want!" attitude that Blizzard and EA have adopted.)
