Suggestion: Revert all pro play-focused changes after the competitions are over

Emerald Fang··5 votes·2,470 views

99.99% of the playerbase doesn't want them and maybe the PROS don't even want them as well. If you HAVE to have a certain meta so you make more money during competitions, the least (absolute least) you could do is revert them when the competition is over. We shouldn't have to live with the fallout of Worlds nerfs/buffs. We could go back to what we're used to and we'd feel more in control. Then, during the off-season, Riot could focus on balancing the game around casual players and soloqueue.

"But ThAt wOuLd DiSrUpT tHe PlAyErBaSe!!!!!" - maybe the first time, but people would grow to expect it and they wouldn't be forced to PERMANENTLY CHANGE THEIR MAIN CHAMPION(S) because Riot is trying to influence something that the player may not even be interested in and has no control over.

Riot doesn't respond to our posts because they know that it's EXACTLY what they're doing and they don't have the strength to come out and just ADMIT that they're doing it. Maybe you could help us out. Throw us ONE bone. Remember that it's something like 200 pros vs about 10 million or more players.

It pisses me off. I don't even main champions that are ever affected (hell, Cass only got buffs this season), and it still annoys me that the entire game is held hostage by corporate motivation. It's perfectly fine to have options for profit and to PUSH those on players, but changing your whole game? Nah.

the change that made me the saddest was the tahm pick. I really liked tahm, saving team mates then to have them say thank you. Felt really nice.

It felt like there were rare picks with tahm. Seeing in the lcs made me wanna play him even more... then they just gutted him and it felt like saying "No dont pick this champion.. Pick THIS champion"

Like, I get it that in LCs where games are decided not from team fights but by picks. Tahm and shen are nasty ones. It just feels really bad to see them left in the gutter with no where else to go. Feels bad man.

I think that would be better but idk if that would be plausible. Reverting is just keeping a backup version of the game to put back after worlds and lcs. Making an entire queue would take weeks of copying the database and tweaking shit. Also what if pros want to take a break and play soloqueue? They won’t be used to the game.

Do you the riot problem? Is like a government that says "Hey you cannot do that in your business! Here is the right price!"

Why not create something on the begin of the year, and during the year just fix bugs, put skins, some modes and collect player suggestions for the next season and keep testing on the pbe the champs for the NEXT SEASON, try metas and all that kind of stuff.

After the season starts (after a good test and balance and the new champs ) YOU LEAVE THE GAME... people will adapt, if the game has a good balance people will realize what is good against what like a simple rock scissor and paper the meta will be a chess game and ALL OF THIS TOGETHER will make good LC$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ games, do you think coaches will not think... hey they are getting this... ok leave it we can do that as a surprise... O GUESS WHAT A NEW META FOR PRO PLAYERS. And at the same time the meta on ranked will just grown because people will watch and learn the picks, maybe some solo player can think something that no pro team thought.

Do you know how you do that? Yes... good balance and let the "market" decide let the "market" make all the combinations of champions and ITENS. Stop changing all the time or nobody will care and just pick what is strong without thinking why, just because THE BALANCE IS A SHIT AND YOU KEEP MAKING SHIT TRYING TO BE "GOD" TO DECIDE HOW IS GOING TO BE.
