RIOT INCOMPETENT / GOODBYE

Vanjie··1 votes·1,068 views

My time playing this game is done. I have decided to officially leave because of Riot and their decisions. I have come to the conclusion that your balance team is incompetent. You cannot do a single thing in this game when it comes to balance. This patch is the last straw for me because you know what the problems are, but you are afraid to do something about it. You know how gamebreaking Try and Yasuo are. What do you do? You nerf the mastery that was only half of the problem. Now AP and AD champions are one shotting everyone. Of course you think everyone is balanced right now.

I cannot comprehend how hard it is to fix something YOU KNOW is broken . . . in a hotfix and then don't even really tackle the real problems. You made everything unplayable. You gave Graves a hotfix. If I remember correctly all I saw was that you nerfed his movement speed. Congrats. That is what Graves's problem was. YOU. NERFED. MOVEMENT. SPEED. ON. GRAVES. He can one shot players with his E but you nerfed his movement speed. You did nothing to fix the problems with Tryn and Yasuo. Now you know what the problem is . . . .? I think Death Fires Touch is too strong or something because I got one shot by a Xerath when he was level six and I was level fie. I got one shot by someone that should not be one shot me. I get one shot by an AD or ADC at level five. Turrets are dying at a fast rate. People are spamming ults non stop. Your masteries are catered to only a certain group of champions that are already powerful.

Not only am I having a problem with this new patch, this entire year has been a struggle. You moved your servers or w/e and I am lagging when I never lagged before. I go to try and get some help with it and you tell my ISP is not on your list. Great. Another decision you made that impacts my ability to play. Then I save money for months to buy new Harrowing skins . . . and seasonal stuff . . . . what do we get? A useless zombie theme that the entire community told you we hated . . . yet you did nothing about it. You decided to make the decision to remove events from the game so you can spend more time "focusing on content you can release later on through-out the year". We know the real reason why you gave up events. It's because you want to focus all of your time on Worlds. We all know where your real priorities rely. Worlds. It's clearly evident because you couldn't even release the seasonal and legacy skins for October a day or two after the month . . . . because of your true passion for this game . . . Worlds. Now we have a disgusting patch that is gamebreaking . . . . you don't listen to player feedback . . . . and when you finally fix something you do nothing. The problems you fix are not even the reason you should be fixing it. Why did you decrease Graves's movement speed? Don't you think you should have nerfed his damage? Clearly not. You are too busy buffing Vayne and ChoGath six times of the entire year. Oh yeah lets go on to this. You nerf underplayed and not powerful champions to the ground but you are constantly buffing those that don't need it. You have buffed Vayne and ChoGath more than any champion this entire year. Yet Casseopia and other champions that need the most attention get none. It's ok though . . . . Vayne and ChoGath can still be played . . . . even though their was nothing wrong with them in the first place.

This year you have dropped the ball big time. 2014 was a great year when I played. I started last year around September and enjoyed the game until the middle of summer 2015. I just don't think I can play a game where you don't listen to player feedback and clearly don't care about the game . . . . more so how much money and time you can devote to worlds. You need to fix your priorities and fix this broken patch. AD champions and now certain AP champions are TOOOO POWERFUL. Is this what you wanted for this game? A game where no skill is used and the only that players use is how powerful the champion already is and how they use the new masteries? You don't understand at all. Fix your game. Don't wait 2-4 weeks for something you can fix in two seconds. You know what the problems are but you do nothing about it.

Goodbye and goodluck with the game. I cannot continue to support a game that developers clearly don't care about. All you care about is worlds.

If you honestly think their aim is to balance the champions vs not trying to introduce new elements while keeping things balanced and constantly changing you're an idiot.

Don't let the door hit you on your way out!

They don't know how to do anything it seems. Cass has yet to be touched. What do they do? They give Fiora a revamp and make her way to strong. What do they do? They mess around with Morde when the community told them not to. Now no one likes the new Morde and want him back to the way he was. They have nerfed Eve to the point that she is unplayable and cannot even JG in this new patch. They buffed ChoGath when here wasn't a problem with him. They buffed Vayne when she clearly had nothing wrong with her.

They nerf nobody that needs it. Why have they not even touched Yasuo and Tryn? Why are they not fixing the champions with ults that make them unkillable . . . . when they know it is a problem. AD and AP champions are now one shotting everyone in the game. It's ok though . . . the winrates for champions are a clear indicator that there is nothing wrong with them. Riot bases their decisions on updating and nerfing champions on their win-rates and which competitive player in LCS and worlds plays them. They do not listen to player feedback. They do not test or play any of the champions. They don't do a lot of nothing but prepare for worlds the entire year. They are incompetent.

Aren't you gone? Why should it matter to you?

Cass is actually a pretty strong champ you can 1 vs 1 me with me on cass any day trust me she is destructive the only issue she has is that she's a sustained damage mid where it's mostly burst damage that's needed. She's also extremely hard to use. And Cass was touched she didn't use to have such a strong passive, the damage was more into her poison than twin fang and twin's fang cd began when it hit the target and not when it's cast.

Tryndamere and yasuo are only problems because of their sustain due to their high crit nature and the fact that warlord's was providing far too much sustained. Guess what? They just hot fixed it today!

Also Riot has never based their decisions solely on win rates they want to keep the game constantly changing and evolving because that's how you keep players interested. I could keep going but since you're quitting it doesn't really matter.

What hotfix? Where it only procs on champions? That does nothing.

Kaioko1 votes

It removes their whole sustain from the laning phase which is where both of these champs struggle

They can still one shot people. It's a problem. You think having to go up against anyone that one shots you is fun? You are delusional if you think so.

A tryn is hitting you once and taking off all your health? Wow they must've really buffed him!

Goodbye. You're over reacting, it's preseason dude...

You can complain concisely but QQing is an unnecessary response.

There is a reason a patch as major as this is coming out in...what? oh... preseason. This is the time to test larger changes and being a game designer myself, you are obviously ignorant to any code related problems, every bug you fix makes 2 more, and balance is easy when you aren't the team who has to work on the entire game continuously.

Preseason is done, or so Meddler said in his post. I read their posts. I read the forums more than I play the actual game. I watch other people play more than I play. I read Meddler's post. They know what the problems are. He even said it. The thing is he also said they are going to "watch" everything". They are aware of all the problems. They nerf Graves's movement speed but don't do anything to his damage. They know that certain AP and AD champions are one shotting players . . . they do nothing. They are aware of all of this and do nothing about it. I read nowhere in the new patch that they were addressing anything. They are "watching" everything so they can nerf things six weeks from now. They know what the problems are and Riot knows what they are going to do in the end. Nerf it now.

I'm sorry but what? There may be some really big red post I have not seen, but I do not think I would have missed something as large as pre-season ending early. Could you please add the links where this change happened, because historically (and my current understanding) the pre-season lasts from the end of a competitive season until the start of a new one. In this case until early next year. As I said that mean the pre-season is in fact still ongoing, so some links would be really add validity to what you are saying.

Either way sure they have a good amount of data on changes they want to look at, but the patch cycle is only every two weeks, it would be highly ineffective to run patches at a greatly increased frequency to tackle problems before enough information has been parsed to make informed decisions.

I like how you say goodbye, but keep replying.

I also like how you call Riot incompetent while acting like a child.
