Can we stop with the Veigar threads?

Eedat·Mar 1, 2015·4 votes·738 views

To be clear, I'm not talking about the threads that are offering suggestions on how Riot could help balance Veigar. Those threads are great and I hope Riot gets a chance to read through them. But I think we've had enough of the rage threads. We all know Veigar is underpowered. Riot has publicly acknowledged that they know he is underpowered and will be making changes to help him. These threads that are flaming Riot (yes, the ones that are providing this game to you for FREE) over and over for a mistake they have already taken responsibility for and have promised to fix is getting old.

tl;dr try offering constructive criticism instead of just raging/flaming Riot

Well they are probably trying to get the nerfs reverted like Riot did before for that certain someone, guess it didn't work.

So you are asking the community to stop telling RIOT how they feel about what they change? Then why even have the forums in the first place if we cant tell RIOT what we think?

No, I'm saying there is no reason to just outright flame them dozens of time per day. They are providing this game to you free of charge and are already working to correct this mistake

Little kids that don't understand this game is not free out of the goodness of their hearts, it's a business model. It's free to play, the business part comes with its content. The free part is to lure more gamers into it, it's basic business 101. The plus content is where the money is so stop saying it's free, if it weren't free their business model would fail because nobody would be playing it. The business is made as a result of offering it for free.

Also, you make it like they didn't know nerfing every aspect of his kit would make him more underpower. You don't even have to know how to play the game to understand that, so when you see people bitching at them it's because of the obvious disingenuous motives Riot has for doing what they did. They should just have the balls to own up to it and say hey, we don't want this char in the game because it ruins LCS, delete char. Don't stand there and say "yea, we know he needs a buff after the removal of DFG so let's offer this buff of -20% ult, bad stun, and bad harass. it's just a big fuck you to the community's intelligence.

The game is FREE to play. Riot could make way more money if they charged people to play, even if it cut their player base in half. Don't believe me? Then maybe you'll listen to what a successful industry expert has to say:

Tell me more about this money mongering RIOT games and their business 101 model that you seem to be an expert in. Can you list some references? Or your qualifications to make such assumptions? List your experience in the field?

didn't think so

inb4 down votes yet nobody will have any legitimate argument against my point

are already working to correct this mistake

O really? thats why there are no changes to Veig on the PBE atm? they must be working hard tho to correct this, when they NEW 100% that this was going to KILL veig, that is the WHOLE reason they did it, to stop the Koreans from hurting RIOTS BELOVED MOBILITY META, and their LC$BIGPLAY$!

EedatMar 3, 20151 votes

Yes, to ensure LC$BIGPLAYS they also gut LC$BIGPLAYS Kassadin in the same patch.

Logic: 0 Poster:1

Romans VI XXIIIMar 3, 20151 votes

As far as i can remember Kass has never been in an LC$BIGPLAY$.

EedatMar 3, 20151 votes

We're talking about the same champion here right? The one who is debatably the most mobile midlaner in the game? The one who is picked in 76% of the games that hes not banned in EU and 60% of the games he's not banned in NA LCS?

Romans VI XXIIIMar 3, 20151 votes

AGAIN like i said,

As far as i can remember Kass has never been in an LC$BIGPLAY$.

I mean correct me if I am wrong, and direct me to what week it was that kass got into the LC$BIGPLAY$, so i can watch it. Please, read what people say, and if you don't understand it, read it again.

EedatMar 3, 20151 votes

Is that a joke? Just watch any current LCS game

and how about the most referenced, well known LCSBIGPLAY of all time?

Romans VI XXIIIMar 3, 20151 votes

do you know what the LC$BIGPLAY$ are? LMFAO. they are a new series that RIOT has started, showcasing LC$BIGPLAY$ every week, usually top 5 plays. And again, as far as I can remember Kass has not been in a SINGLE one. so please sir, go educate your self. And learn to completely read, and understand what people are talking about.

geez that just makes me more mad "we know veigar's underpowered but we did it anyway" do you want raging flaming rants? cuz thats how you get raging flaming rants

EedatMar 1, 20151 votes

I didnt say that. I said Riot acknowleged the fact that after they made the changes he is underpowered

Nucleophilic atkMar 1, 20151 votes

There is no possible way that they didn't know it before they pushed the changes live. They were able to to use PBE and see everyone saying how shitty he was. They took a champ that wasn't picked a lot because he had actual weaknesses to go along with his strengths and nerfed every ability. How would nerfing every ability on a completely balanced champ not fuk him up? There is no explanation. I didn't even play Veigar but I'm pissed because the 0.0001% of the time I actually saw a Veigar mid will now become another Zed/Ahri/Leblanc mid that are clearly stronger than Veigar in everyway yet allowed to be strong because they make #LC$BIGPLAY$.

oh you mean after EVERYONE told them that those changes were in no way shape or form compensations of any type? after EVERYONE told them that the delay on his E would just push him to be a horrible pick? Sorry but no, they deserve all the flame they get for flat out ignoring us. Out of all the thing they could have done to his stun they decided one of the worst ones and you know what's funny? they knew they were destroying him but now that they see the backlash they are trying to save face. They providing the game for free doesn't make them immune to flame and criticism specially with all the money they actually make from us because you know what? the game being free to play actually makes them even MORE money than if we would have to pay a subscription monthly

They deserve to be flamed over the incompetence of the Veigar nerfs.
