Riot is like Congress

They all like to change things for the sake of changing things. New laws, new patches. Same thing.

The game will never be balanced as long as its "Free" to play. They need people purchasing RP points. And they get that by changing things around so much that it prompts that kind of activity on the players part.

I would gladly pay $5 or $10 a month to play if it meant that balance changes are made completely based on the integrity of the game, and not driving sales.

And now for the incoming hate comments from the shills that Riot has monitoring this board.

The fact that you said, "And now for the incoming hate comments from the shills that Riot has monitoring this board.", just shows that all you're looking to do is stir up controversy. And because of that I won't bother to give you a serious reply, it appears you'll be buried under enough downvotes soon enough anyway. All I will say is this; You're wrong. That's all, have a nice day.

Keep drinking the kool-aid.

CerealBoxOfDoomSep 9, 20163 votes

coolaid? this isn't really up for debate. Its not a conspiracy theory.

This is how the business model works. Its not greed or any other stupid shit. Its just some very simple logic.

Perfect balance would be all 10 players getting the exact same thing. Nobody really wants perfect balance and thus we will never get it.

People usually won't understand this for two reasons (that I can think of).

They are on the underpowered/negative spectrum of this plan, thus think they are being cheated.
They are on the positive end and think nothing is wrong because it isn't effecting them.

Granted it's a selfish theory (or hypothesis) and probably wrong. But I'd imagine the OP is in the former category.

Your example shows your idiocy

Perfect balance would be something like

100 champions, In a vaccum with identical gold , 25 of them will win a 1v1 up till level 12 against the other 75. Another 25 will win 1v1s against the other 75 from level 12-18. 50 of them will break even against the other 50. And so forth.

X amount of champions will have amount of CC but lack mobility or lankiness or damage. Etc tec

Identical champions isnt perfect balance. Having things fair is. There too many champions that do too much without giving up very much

Why do you think a team that as 1 or no tanks groans when they see TahmKench Malphite Poppy

Because all know that CC and lankiness is, overall, disproportionately effective.

If youre going to call me an idiot you're gonna have to put up a much better argument than this load of shit.

no, there is no "something like", there is no questioning, there is absolutely no room for debate.

Perfect balance is giving everyone the EXACT same thing. You have not, cannot, and will not make any logical argument against this no matter how much bullshit ad hominem you try to fluff your post up with.

No X amount. Exactly the same, this is the very definition of perfect balance. What you are attempting to do here is to balance inbalance for whatever reason. This is called

PERFECT IMBALANCE

When everything is the same it sucks but that is balance. That is perfect balance and is the only way to ensure that the game is in fact balanced as opposed to simply too complicated to make balance important or simply imbalanced. But if you want a fun game you will want variety which inherently works against balance which in turn must be balanced against as best as you can which in turn gives you reason to simply control where the advantage lies and find a way to make your game fair, fun, and challenging for both teams.

Identical champions isnt perfect balance. Having things fair is. There too many champions that do too much without giving up very much

Name one unfair thing about identical champions. ONE DAMN THING.

Why do you think a team that as 1 or no tanks groans when they see

Because their play pattern preference, which has absolutely nothing to do with balance, makes them believe they are not in for a fun time. They may also believe they are at some manner of disadvantage which you likely can't actually prove unless you have calculated every possible outcome i.e. have solved the game called League of Legends.

Because all know that CC and lankiness is, overall, disproportionately effective.

When everyone has the same exact thing such imbalance is literally impossible.

You just don't get it. Sometimes they will give a bit of love to a champ who is getting a new skin if they are slowly falling out of the meta. They don't balance around money solely.

You just see Worlds 2016 patch and you think Rito is selling us out. Things will go back to normal next patch.

TheDarkinLegendSep 9, 20161 votes

Ive posted things like this many times, and i dont include that last part about shills, and I get all the hate . This time I just called it out.

But nice try acting like you know things and have smarts and stuff.

Its not the worlds patch. Its the last 2 years. Its how they operate. Its their mindset, and decisions.

And you are incredibly naive if you don't think money is the biggest factor effecting balance changes. Stop acting like Riot has integrity. They may have started like that, but corruptible people are corruptible, and they are now corrupted

Dabrick01Sep 9, 20161 votes

I'm sorry you think this, but end the end it's just wrong.

It's not like they have more than one game. This is their pride and joy and they are going to put effort to keep it as balanced as possible. The best way to get a company is to hit them where it hurts, their wallet. Don't play the game if you are sad about a few trolls.

Just because you have spent money does not mean that they should put you in a "VIP cue" or some shit.

They would not balance the game SOLELY on money. Yes, I will admit that they do touch a champ when a skin is coming out, but that is to help any new player be able to fit into the meta when they play a certain champ.

TheDarkinLegendSep 9, 20161 votes

Yes they do. End of story. For having ONE game, I have seen them make too many obviously retarded changes that they have to fix a month later. WE all see retarded change and say it immediately. Riot supposedly thinks about it and tests it first. How is it they are so wrong so often while the players can instantly spot the issue? You think this game is run by gamers. Maybe it used to be. Its driven by money and ego now. Don't be blind. People are awful and you are living in fantasy world if you attach any shred of altruism or integrity to a company that operates like Riot

Or maybe you're too much of a cynic.

I'm just guessing this because you sound like me in high school.

Dabrick01Sep 10, 20161 votes

At this point you should just stop playing this game. In your imaginary world, everyone is a greedy prick and is driven by money. You mights as well just leave this community if you can't see any good in people. They are trying their hardest and they sometimes make mistakes. If you meet someone who has never made a mistake in their life then let me meet the second coming of Jesus.

I'm sorry that you can't see it like every other normal, non-bitchy player sees it. If you don't see it like it is, then just leave. We could do with less players who just complain.

TheDarkinLegendSep 11, 20161 votes

MY imaginary world? Lets see you said:

"They are trying their hardest" HOW do you KNOW that?

What, there is no chance that they have become greedy? There is NO chance that they have bad leadership in place? Because that NEVER happens in a company?

I think the fact that you only have your own upvote after two hours should show just how few people agree with you here.

Read: none so far.

TheDarkinLegendSep 9, 20161 votes

Obviously that means I'm wrong, because thats how truth works right? Majority rule?

VoidStaresBackSep 9, 20163 votes

Not necessarily, but when you have no special knowledge of the situation (which is exactly you in this case) what the majority of people think is right is, amazingly, usually right.
