balance is required for all champions on all maps, not just rift ... riot get with the game

Plasma Servant··6 votes·681 views

I really don't want to hear "but we can't balance everywhere" that is saying that Riot is stupid and they just can't figure it out. It does mean that they can't do balancing by buffing here, nerfing a little there. they have to PLAN how to have a champion balanced in all modes. Which of course means they need to stop thinking of SR as the only game. It isn't.

Riot, I used to spend money on league ... and I have more income than more than 80% of the U.S. population. I would be spending money here, but I won't until you start actively saying you are balancing based on HA and ARAM. Period.

I don't care if you make ARAM your LCS mode or not ... ranked is for people that think they need to compare themselves to others. That is not me. I already know my worth, and it isn't based on playing a game. What I do care about is if I'm going to play a game, I want it to be enjoyable. Figure that one out. Think about it a lot more than what you do. You are hurting your revenue stream by leaving on the table a lot of income you could have from people like me that the only mode of PVP they play is ARAM. I know I am not spending a cent on RP until you change. For every one person that gives you feedback, there are probably a 1000 more that just will leave and you won't get their money.

It is a business decision Riot ... can you afford to ignore your customer base?

Lol i dont think they care man. And thats great that you are pretentious totally seems like you deserve money, I hope you worked hard for it. Because obviously you did not learn common values like modesty. I havent spent one cent on this game for the very reason that it is unbalanced and there is only one map... summoners rift. All others are irrelevant. Im going to try out Heroes of the Storm (games last like 20 mins) soon anyway once I make gold in league. The funny thing is that they are doing exactly what DOTA 2 is doing. Not to mention any level before 30 is terrible to grind though. I would never play league if I had to start at lvl 1 again. They moved team builder... the best game type to like lvl 20 or 25. So you basically can not learn what a team comp is until after screwing around for a month or two. When riot fixes this I will invest my hard earned money. Until then im just going to wait for LOL to collapse and fail in a few years when they lose new players to where they can not sustain themselves anymore.

pretentious? because I want them to know that there are people that could spend money, but won't because they are ignoring us? That is what "vote with your wallet" is all about.

Don't assume everyone at Riot is ignoring people and other maps, SR just needs a lot. And honestly I don't think they are worried about your wallet. And most of their "customer base" plays SR.

That might be true, but can they afford to leave money on the table? I've been an IT Director before, and one thing you never want to do from a business perspective is leave money on the table. It might be that those of us are a minority (I know quite a few that if they play PVP they play aram ... for a variety of reasons) but does Riot want to walk away from what might be another 10% to their bottom line? If they didn't care, and they were publicly traded, the management team could be looking at lawsuits for failing their fiduciary duty to the stockholders. If it is a private company, then it won't matter than much ... other than to the ones that own it (and their employees).

again so great that you did things that qualify you to discuss a game.

I've play it. That qualifies me to discuss it.

Is it too wrong for a company to gear themselves towards what makes them popular and makes them revenue? Esports and summoner's rift ARE League. They can't constantly worry about other maps, when it's hard balancing one map as it is.

Plasma Servant1 votes

Absolutely not ... that is their right (if privately held, they don't even have to answer to stockholders, they can do whatever they want). But if they don't know they are walking away from some of their users, then they won't know they are missing out on revenue they could be earning.

Barring some miraculous shift, that's not going to happen. Riot clearly decided to go all-in on SR years ago. The most alternate maps players can realistically hope for is that Riot starts up map-specific balancing again.
