A. No. We really do not need them. The amount we have currently is perfectly fine, if you can't deal with it then I suggest playing modes without them and see how you are that way... then rethink what we do have currently.

B. They do not do that to older champions. Work is being done to several champions, they have a long list, a pipline, and it takes time to get through them all. You don't want them to re-release something and have it even worse then before do you?

Things like the Tribunal are also in the works as they've said many times. There are many different teams that work at different content on the game, so that everything gets done in its own time. Learn to get some penitence as none of this stuff is going to be done in a day. Yes, the Tribunal has been offline for over a year but they are hard at work improving what it can do, as well as allowing all servers and languages to have their own since that didn't exist before.

A: we do need more bans B: if they stopped making more shit nobody wants and reworked shit people want reworks would get done faster c: the tribunal has been "in the works" since season 2 just like the lore retcon

  1. No, we really do not. There's hardly any room for more, and then IF we did get them, people like you would complain again in the future and want MORE of them by the time we were up to 200+ champions... and it'd be ridiculous. 6 bans is perfectly fine for any moba with any amount of champions.

  2. No they wouldn't. There are multiple teams for a reason that work on these things, that's how one makes a company. They would have to get people that specialized in the particular skill in order to have a bigger group. It's not like they will pull people off other teams and place them there to work on these things when they have nothing to do with that or don't have the knowledge needed. And YOU may not want some of the content that gets released but there are quite a lot of us that DO want it. Be it new content or reworked, they all take time to do and for the most part I think they have been doing a great job.

  3. Tribunal was active then, but it was pulled offline after season 3 when they wanted to do a full upgrade. Again, learn to have some patience.

  1. theres at least room for 4 MORE bans(2 per team) in that space dont tell me otherwise. and 6 is not enough when we are already nearing the 200+ mark of champions

  2. multiple teams with less people per team if they keep adding more crap we dont want, I didnt even want ekko now we get scuttlegromp? what comes next in a month? a basket themed champion?

  3. tribunal was active and at the end of season two they "said" they wanted to do a full upgrade its been two years with barley any hints as to if we will get it back and with tooltips in game stating the tribunal still punishes people even though you cant get to it.

extra:

Id rather have riot work on reworking every old champ, making every champion have at least 3 skins variations (zac pls) and work on the new lore. OR I want them to create more music (pentakill needs a new album)

new champions are tasteless and old now because its easy to guess what it will be

"this champion is uses their unique mobility! to ...." followed by endless board posts about how op he/she is and riot refuses to nerf

126 isnt even close to 200

2) multiple teams with less people per team if they keep adding more crap we dont want, I didnt even want ekko now we get scuttlegromp? what comes next in a month? a basket themed champion?

because you didnt want somethnig riot shouldnt have made it?

a full upgrade takes time get over it

extra:

zac is hard to make skins for because of his growth and flexibility theyve said this multiple times why does lore matter it affects the game not at all and very few people care about it same with the pentakill albums

new champions are tasteless and old now because its easy to guess what it will be

whats the next champion gonna be besides the river spirit one tell me please and dont say "overloaded and op" thats not at all what the champions have been sure ekko has been a tad strong but not that op same with kalista shes just annoying to deal with but so is teemo. bard? hes trash tier but is cool and new

"this champion is uses their unique mobility! to ...."

you mean riot likes to make champions that ar efun to play as? how fun was ryze before rework or annie right now or gragas before rework or any other immobile champ. like none

followed by endless board posts about how op he/she is and riot refuses to nerf

thats weird velkoz and bard werent like that theyre both trash tier and the only people that say differnetly main them

  1. So your reasoning for more bans is because "there's more space for them"?

  2. What if, just a thought here, there are multiple teams to give more content. Ekko is an interesting champ and is actually fun despite all the qq. Catfishman could be good too, I'm interested to see what they do with him. Yeah, there'll more than likely be something movement related with the river

  3. Soon™

They're working on the older champs. Slowly but it's happening. Funny you mention Zac. He's getting PP Zac soon yet some people are complaining that it's "another recolor". He's also getting chromas which are actual recolors so eh.

Yeah, the newer champions are somewhat predictable in that aspect but look at champs like Gnar, Azir, and Bard that gave interesting ways to play their respective roles. They're capable of making interesting champs, not every champ is going to be a hit with everyone.

  1. LOL. 126 is NO WHERE NEAR 200. That's a 76 champion difference, which is at least 7-8 years away with the way we've had champions get delayed, slowed down, ect. 6 bans is perfectly fine for 126 champuions. No LCS players cry that there are only 6 bans. So neither should we.

  2. HAHAHAHAHAH. Can't. Stop. The. Laughing. Again, it's something YOU DON'T WANT that doesn't mean WE don't want it. Stop trying to put words in the mouths of others. You don't know how everyone feels. There are many of us that LOVE new champions, and no, not because "OMG THEY SO OP" but because they bring something new to play instead of seeing the same things over and over. They allow us to come up with new team comps, new strategies, allow for tons of new gameplay.

  3. Time. All things take time.

Zac is getting a new skin, pool party, as well as a Chroma pack (3 skin variations) in patch 5.12 next week.

As for LORE, I for one like it but at the same time it doesn't really matter much to me as I just play the game to learn characters and get better at it.

A: why do we need more bans? you cant just say we need more bans then give no reasoning for it name 7 champions that need to be banned every game or else the enemy team wins if they get the champ B: i love all the new champions and so do many other people so clearly people want the shit they make C: you make a system that works then since its clearly oh so easy apparently

"Riot never makes new champs, come on, the games gonna die without new content." "Riot, stop making new champs and focus on balance" And thus the circlejerk continues.

I felt like it was a little too soon after they dropped Ekko to be releasing another champion.

There is a pretty long list of champions that could use some love. There are 3 champion updates coming that we know of, 2 of them are game play and visual fixes, and one of them is just visual. I'd like them to move a bit faster.

Fixing champion game play and fleshing them out is adding content to the game.

Just the somewhat recent ones that were released in close proximity. Jinx and Lucian, Gnar and Azir, Rek'sai and Kalista, Bard and Ekko, even Yasuo and Eye-guy. New champs and GU/VU are, more than likely, not the same team. Plus Riot is infamous for Soon™s.

Blizzard is more infamous with the Soon™'s IMO.

"Dance studio Soon™"

"Shamans being viable Soon™"

"Non-rehashed quests Soon™"

But tbh Riot does do the whole 'soon' thing a lot too...

Lore, the tribunal, and possibly reworks are all handled by different teams. Them releasing new champions has absolutely no effect on at least two of those things.

I still don't understand why people complain about the number of bans. Learn to play against what's strong or fotm. It's that simple. Or feed. Really whichever you do is up to you.
