"But why does Riot not listen to us on here!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?"
The problem is that it's not worth it.

Correction in question for those wondering:

Assuming this is what you're going off of, you're completely misinterpreting the context of it. When they say low-lethality, they don't mean "people who have low kill potential", because their example is Tahm Kench, a tank whose had no issue killing folk these last few patches. They're talking about Low lethality in terms of "They actively stop plays too easily", leading to points where mistakes can't be punished. Once again, Tahm Kench is the example here, a champion whose been an issue in the past due to too easily negating plays and picks with his Devour.
Worlds is a spectacle event, no one wants to spend hours watching nothing happen, and then one fight decides the game. Riot's quote isn't even saying "Low Lethality champions", it specifically says "Low Lethality Metas", meaning, games where nothing happens. Tanks are anything but low lethality, because they are active play makers, making picks and engaging fights. They are everything that Riot wants with worlds, people actively picking fights.
What Riot doesn't want, are games where nothing happens, because no ones mistakes can be punished.
The overwhelming majority of threads that are misinterpreting a Riot quote in an obvious way get tons of upvotes. As awful as it is it shows that the community here still isn't ready for discussion they just want to be outraged at Riot wherever they can. They are literally voting against having Riot come back while screaming that Riot should be here.
But -Insert angry comment about Ghostcrawler or CT killing league, possibly with a misrepresented quote as "proof"- And there's nothing you can do to change my mind!
Even if this is misinterpretation, riot needs to own up to the post as a whole. They've constantly and endlessly dumpstered tanks due to their "Lack of flare." It's pathetic and far too transparent even for them.
Theres a reason why virtually nobody takes these Boards seriously.
Remember when fucking shield bash was released on pbe and everyone was like it's broken and then it's not, or remember nasus when he got buffs and everyone freaked the fuck out saying he was broken and nasus jg is unstoppable then it turned out nasus is shit.
The boards are a place where it's all opinion and no actual argument.
oof
They are catering to Reddit that would silent any dissenters but on this board, many still criticize them so they ignore it. Riot never wants to fix their mistakes.
These guys should uninstall the internet
