This is too funny

So Morde's rework is just plain weird. I don't think there's any dispute about that. Literally taking him to the one lane he almost never plays and then changing him to fit that lane.

But that's not what I'm here to talk about. I'm here to talk about you, Gameplay & Balance.

Four new reworks. Darius, Garen, Skarner, and Morde. All four of them changing quite a bit about their respective champions. Darius was apparently pretty good from the get-go, and the other two, while having rough starts, are shaping up to something resembling decent. RiRepertoir is doing his best to listen to the boards and adjust based on feedback, so the improvement of quality is to be expected.

So the only one left is Morde, worked on by Riot's own CertainlyT. He's not absorbing any feedback, and steamrolling through with his vision of bot lane Morde. You have expressed your discontent, and have been summarily ignored. And CT is totally, 100% in the right.

Tell me something G&B, is telling the same joke for the five-hundreth time still funny? Because every time someone posts "Fire CertaintlyT" it seems to get no less than 20 upvotes. Do you get some sort of thrill when you call him a cocksucker to his face when he's trying to get feedback? Do you think that treating him like a piece of shit will get him to miraculously balance better?

And here's the punchline: you people are actually, genuinely confused when Rioters then decide they have better things to do with their time then get feces flung at them by a board doing a collective impression of a troop of chimpanzees.

This happened with another Rioter, a beloved parrot by the name of IronStylus. And now he doesn't visit all that much anymore. He realized that there's no point in talking with you unless he desperately wants to get rid of his sanity. And now CT's realizing it too.

And good on him, I say.

Probably because even from the start, he never really listen to feedback

The thing is, there was a comment on the Morde rework thread that asked if Morde would be able to counter kiting in any way. CertainlyT's response was to find a teammate to prevent an enemy from kiting you. He apparently cannot find a way to put Morde in a solo lane, despite people asking and giving suggestions. When your response to: "Why are you gutting X in favor of Y?" is: "I can't find a way for Y to be healthy.", I wouldn't trust you on a champion rework. Skarner had worse initial feedback, but RiotRepertoir didn't just ignore feedback and stop listening to everyone. He adjusted the champion to player requests.

When most people post that, they don't think its funny, i know i don't. We legit think that he is bad at his job, and we don't want to deal with him anymore. He hasn't listened from the start, and it's frustrating when we know he won't listen, we hate his work, and there is nothing we can do about it. When he shows that level of disregard for his consumers then he is not taking his job seriously, and in most professions that's more than enough to be fired.

Everyone dislikes Garen's movespeed slow when hitting with judgement, guy listens and changes it.

Everyone dislikes something about certaintlyT's work, too bad.

I think that is probably where the disliking for him comes in. Also, everyone as in people on the boards.
