For all of you Riot fans who don't like when people criticize Riot

Usually you say things like, "well then you go do it better" or "they make a lot of money so they must know what they are doing"

You know who else makes a lot of money that you often criticize? Movie studios. The amount of shit movies that come out, sometimes making money and sometimes not, is staggering. You have to realize that at some point people thought a given movie was a good idea and will make money....and then it gets 12% on Rotten Tomatoes and loses money. But overall these studios still make money.

What makes you think Riot can't also be subject to very bad decisions and judgement calls?

Stop down voting people who criticize Riot. They are not infallible and you often give them too much credit--they are just imperfect people, and like any company, there are probably employees who have no business being in their position.

Carrying on like a 4 year old throwing a temper tantrum and constructive criticism are two entirely separate things

Do you know how many times I make an effort to be very polite and lay out an argument? Still gets down voted if I say the problem fundamentally comes from Riots employees and mindset. So there is no reason to be polite.

Good posts sometimes get downvoted, but it's less frequent than bad posts.

Half of the upvoted threads on the front page are criticizing riot about something

Don't really think "riot fans" are an issue here

They are because unless you are infallibility polite, they down vote you.

Sometimes Riot does STUPID things, like when the removed solo que. It was stupid and rude harsh language is totally appropriate. And as customers we have every right to call them out and tell them EXACTLY how we feel. We provide their jobs. The players. If players don't play they don't have a job and it feels like the treat us with such contempt. Go read marc merrills blog, hes a colossal douche

Dont care. The person who spent time making it is pathetic for even doing it.

While I agree with the point you're trying to make over 50% of criticism for Riot is over nerfs to champions that specifically affects a person's champ pool. I disagree with the validity of the criticism when I do actually spend time disagreeing.

champions are the product. We purchase them with money or time spent. Riot is the company that provides the product which we use for entertainment. When Riot makes changes to the product that will negatively affect our quality of entertainment, we have every right to complain and question their logic. Collectively we have many more hours of experience playing the game, and with many many people having more hours on one champion that anyone at Riot. Our opinions should matter and they should better explain their logic to us. When they got rid of solo que, they didn't really engage in dialogue with us...no we had to complain for a year to get it back. Riot is largely a piece of shit company, hate to break it to you.

I agree that there have been issues with communication, however you knew before starting the game that this was an ever evolving game. So your argument of champion changes is invalid. This from someone that owns all champions and has many champions that have been utterly changed from what I was used to. So no changes to champions is not a valid reason to call Riot a "shit company." I do wish they would communicate more but that's really my only complaint.
