@Riot If players continue to be this opposed to the snowballing changes, will you revert them?

I'm not asking condescendingly or out of malice, I just want an honest answer. I've seen four other preseasons and I loved most of them, but this time around, my games all end in massive stomps and I either feel helpless or so powerful that it's just not even fun anymore. And I'm not the only one who feels that way. So give it to us straight; if people continue to dislike the snowballing changes so strongly, will you do anything about it?

The issue is, how will Riot knows if majority oppose. There are thousands of players. 50 people come on forum and cry, thousands dont bother coming on forum, they just play game. Ye true, we have alot of QQ threads, if players who like these changes would come and open threads saying they like them, there would probably be 300 pro threads and 50 QQ threads.

Do you personally like the changes regardling snowballing effects?

It isn't just 50 players. The approval rating on threads that disparaige the turret changes and the pacing changes go upwards of 500 upvotes, and that's only after a few days. I remember the forums during previous preseasons. There were a few QQ threads, of course, there always are. But the forums were flooded with positive threads thanking Riot for the changes. When people like something, they post. When people disagree with a QQ thread, it gets downvoted. The argument that these changes are well-liked is just not true. The playerbase doesn't want 1 sided games that snowball out of control, end abruptly, and leave one team feeling utterly useless.

Well, in ranked yes, i like, since there is smaller chance to throw advantage due to opponents champions have stronger late game, or due to stupid tower dives. In normal, i dont like it that much, since i use normals to improve, and u cant really improve in short games.

there's no "throwing advantage due to opposing champions having stronger late game". You just weren't good enough to actually win the game. Now Riot is catering to the players who can't actually close out games by having the game win itself for them if they got enough kills. So if all I wanted was a kill count, why am I playing league of legends rather than a FPS?

You do realize that boards and reddit are like the minority right?? Literally they are made up of cry babies well there is people that actually enjoy these changes.

CatloafNov 15, 20153 votes

I still enjoy playing and I dont see any change in snowballing or game length. People cry everytime big changes are made and like previously mentioned most people who like/deal with the the changes don't bother to come to the forums and make threads like "I'm having fun this preseason" or "This season will be ok". That's why the boards are full of crying and whining.

Riot has yet to revert changes which were pushed to live so.......nah they won't

Riot wont revert shit unless its Riven changes. Thats basically asking them to admit they made a mistake, which will also never happen.

I think the shorter game time would actually be good if it was a compact version of full games, but right now almost every game I've played just ends at 2-3 items. I don't like this at all because I don't think it's fun to end every game at 3 items having known the outcome since 10 minutes in.
