What is the biggest thing Riot has done (or changed) that makes you boiling mad?

SnugglePuggle94··4 votes·399 views

I have a lot of things (nerfing AP itemization to the ground, pushing mid lane mages into supports and leaving them as crap- I.E. Karma- removal of Team Builder, etc).

But my biggest thing right now, that I absolutely hate- is the Galio rework.

Completely destroyed his old niche, made him look like a white alligator statue with a tail, and Gargolye identity thrown out the window. His old ult- completely thrown out and in turned into a mediocre taunt on his E, which slows him down immensely. Has barely any burst now, as he's more of a magey tank that gets blown up if not going full tank items, and his core identity- the ANTI MAGE- gone. That cool passive where the more AP he got from the more MR he built, was awesome. No other champ had anything like that besides Rammus's similar passive for AD.

His shield- where it healed him off of damage he took- gone. He now has a mediocre shield passive on his- E?- I think. So bland. You guys could have kept his damn shield the way it was!

And his new ult- you can't even use it on champions- Riot just had to put the limit on it that you can only ult your allies. Disgusting. Not to mention if you delay too much the person could still die and bam you're jumping into a 5 man death pool.

Anyway, I wish the team who designed his rework to read this. And if you are, you really pissed off a lot of people. Sure, he needed an update, but NOT THIS HORRIBLE. Look at WW- kept his identity and most of his unique spells. Galio? You basically kept NONE.

If I had a genie who could give me a wish, I would wish that you guys would revert him back just like you did to Kog. But that's wishful thinking and won't happen.

Anyway, what are the things that Riot as done that majorly pissed you off? Let me know, I want to see what others think!

Nothing. Nothing Riot ever did made me "boiling mad". And probably nothing that they'll ever do will either.

Because I know and understand that both our best interests are aligned and that they want us players happy.

There are decisions I disagree with, stuff I think is stupid and could be better. But "boiling mad"? Not even close...

Why are you taking it so literal lol. While I'm not the OP and don't know EXACTLY what they meant, I don't think they meant it literally, and just meant something you disagreed with strongly.

But that's my point. I have disagreements with Riot on what's the best way to reach the end goal, but I agree with the end goal. So even if I get annoyed by some stuff here and there, nothing makes me really mad on the long term.

And more people should be like that. Yeah, it sucks when your main is reworked and you don't enjoy playing them as much as before, for instance. But there are almost 140 champs in that bloody game. If you still like the game and what Riot wants to do with it, you'll find another main soon enough. On the other hand, if you actually think Riot only care about money and pro-gamers, what the hell are you doing still playing that game? Just go away and give your time and money to some other company that actually care about it a,d deserve it.

In a nutshell: if you agree with Riot, there is no reason to get mad. If you actually, deeply, disagree with them, there is no reason to get mad either: just stop playing their game. But don't obsess over the details or some short-term decision.

Nerfing Morgana over the many many years.

Preemptive prediction, likely going to ruin her beauty with Kayle in less than a year when they get thier VGUs.

Any nerf to Sona in history, which includes the rework

Not "boiling mad" but still pretty mad. The removal of Lissandra's emote spam.

Juggernaut6281 votes

That was so much fun to spam in ARAM

The entirety of Season 6. Forcing Dynamic que upon everyone and then lying about the return of Solo que for months.

Not responding to me reporting the same bug twice. Like, when there's a seemingly game-breaking bug causing drops in fps, it's completely unreal that they won't even acknowledge that it exists when it's happened twice. Not to mention ANOTHER bug I posted relating to crashing during a specific point in the Invaaion game mode where someone even commented on my post saying they experienced the game thing and not a single response from Riot. It's really frustrating.

Both times you said E, it's his W. The magic shield and the taunt are his W.

Thanks, I totally forgot which one. I thought it was his E.

Chromas, probably, it was an idea with such good concepts that got botched out of control.

Ignoring the reasoning they gave (that each chroma takes up a skin slot so it would been too much work or something like that), when they finally announced the equivalent of pressing fierce button on street fighter to have Ryu wear a different color gi, I imagined that every Champion's base skin would come out with whatever looks.

Instead, they began releasing them for random Champions, including already paid skins at such slow intervals that the idea became such a mess. They could have made it that you could get 1 (one) chroma for a Champion's base skin should you get to Mastery 7 or 8 if they decided you needed to really work your ass off to get it, and the rest you could buy in a cheap manner, because after all, they're recolors.

Instead? Nah fam, Let's put a bundle of 3 recolors to some skins.

Not giving Orianna a star guardian skin :(

Juggernaut6281 votes

Dark Star :^)

The two skinlines have no connection at all though

Juggernaut6281 votes

The point of the ':^)' is to show sarcasm. Although, Riot have stated that they will consider having the Star Guardian skin line in the same universe if it makes sense. So there could be a connection, someday.

I hope they don't, it'll just make Star Guardian Orianna impossible at that point.

Removal of team builder Removal of featured games Removal of us being able to see/find our Elo

The removal of Karma's shieldbomb. I wasn't around for the fans, but I'm sure if I was the removal of her fans would have pissed me right off as well.

Totally agree! Hated that change!
