Riot should re-code the game

The underlying code of League is apparently such a complete mess.

I mean, Riot made this game over five years ago when they were a small, garage-sized developer. Just like the bad 3D models and terrible splash arts from that time, the code is also pretty clearly terrible (seriously, adding a text label in the Smite icon caused Flash (and specifically Flash) to be bugged).

It's about time for Riot to throw away the code and remake it from scratch, just like they did with the visuals.

The big problem with that is they can't sell a code update, and the kids will keep buying RP regardless, so riot will not bother with this.

Just like they won't get decent servers.

Just like they won't make new modes that aren't just a week long event every few months.

Just like they won't nerf champs that are utter cash cows and draw e$ports views with their overloaded flashy #lcsplays.

Just like they won't do anything with the horridly outdated rune system that is as exciting as doing your taxes.

Boycott them, it's the only way they'll listen.
