RIOT GAMES! You've finally driven me to quit.

I will begin by saying... I apologize for the pessimistic mood of this post, but it's truly all I feel when I think about or play league anymore. You have become the worst gaming company I've ever experienced gaming through. . . It hasn't always been that way, or at least it wasn't as evident as it is to me now.... and the fact it is the number one in competitive gaming a testiment to how badly all gaming communities and gamers have gone to shit. No one has respect for anyone else and everyone WILL cheese to win, and then use stupid terms to provoke people such as "ez". Two , three years ago this game was excellent, it's slowly but surely become shittier and shittier because you clearly just doesn't give a shit anymore. You've made your money. Ffs, you clearly recently lied about the reason it took so long for Kindred to come out while you jerked each other off in a hotel between worlds. Every single person I started playing this with, and most of the people I met playing it within the first year of playing have all quit already, I will myself along side them if nothing changes. This goes from a lack of interaction or support for your player base... To imbalance and repeated balancing mistakes and excuses about said mistakes. There are so many reasons me and everyone I know no longer has a desire to play. You don't even respond to posts unless it's about some dumb joke or suggestion about some stupid skin or something. You dont interact with or even have a support line, which I can only assume is because you fully understand how disgruntled most of your player base is. something has to change if you care at all about the game you've made, or the players you've drawn... Because as I and many others see it, you don't care. And as far as I can tell... Nothing will change. It's a huge shame that I have to move on to another game as what I play primarily, but this game is just not fun anymore. It's nothing but a head ache. I would say good luck, but I truly want your company to burn. You made something great, then ruined it for most of the people who used to love it.

Here are all the points of you arguement that I saw:

  • Toxic People

  • Rito ruined the game

  • Perfect 2-3 years ago

  • Rito just wants money

  • Kindreds release

  • Imbalance and balancing flaws

  • No interaction

  • Toxic Players. That point is very true, that people on LoL are very toxic, but that isnt Riots fault. They can't control that, since everyone on the internet is toxic, not just League.

  • Riot just wants money. Really? OF COURSE they just want money, they are a business, a company, humans. They aren't people that are just willing to give us everything. They are greedy. Everyone is. Also, its a free to play game. Free to play meaning, you don't have to spend a single cent on this game. You made the choice to spend money on this game. That's your fault and no one else's.

  • Kindred release. Heres a thought, lets not think of Riot as a villain, just for a second. When they said they are not releasing Kindred yet due to a bug, people got all mad. Why? They are probably fixing Kindred, or wanna keep the hype. But you, being the spoilt person you are, got mad for no reason. You just wanted to find a way to be angry at Riot. Don't say its because you really wanted to play Kindred. In an earlier post we can see clearly that you said you didnt care about Kindred as a champion to play. I really do hope that one champion that you dont even care about is the reason you are quitting.

  • Imbalance and balancing flaws. Well, ya, I do agree with you on that. But I just got over it. Although, it would be very nice of Riot to fix this problem they have constantly.

  • No Interaction. They do show off a lot of cool stuff the fans create. They do listen. Almost ALLLL game companies don't show that they listen to their fans. They obviously see that we all want changes. They don't change, well most of the times. We just gotta deal with it.

I'm fine with the delay too, idc, not interested in the champ, just seemed phony and I've been banned for "boosting" when I never boosted, so I always expect the worst now.

and here is the real reason your pissed off. You were banned and you are looking for BS reasons to say why riot is bad. LOL

After reading that entire post, I only have one question.

What makes you think that Riot was lying about the reasons for Kindred's delay?

judging by your post you seem toxic. league could be a lot better off without players like you. cya bud.

Dude, it takes a lot of lines just to make an object move, let alone assign all these values, what changes these values, how said values interact with every other value, and then there are skills. Skills which will have a ton of code assigned to them. You're getting pissed off because you don't understand how code works. It's not just a simple, oh I just change a variable to make this works, it's getting past syntax errors and exceptions. Which is a real pain in the ass, let me tell you.

Most programs that code, don't tell you how to fix the problem, and the ones that do, are only minor fixes, not major fixes that span things such as bugs. The bug, is just some variable, one which they have to watch the code run SLOWLY to see what exactly is happening. Through hundreds and thousands of lines of code.

You're using a MMO to compare the code to a moba's. Making an entirely new champion that has to interact with 100's of other champions without causing a bug is rare on the first try. MMO's also are a tad bit simpler, point and click, fetch quests, very little content that is completely new. Blizzard, also has a test server for those DLC's, which take a lot longer to make than you think. They test that extensively before releasing it to the public. Riot, releases new champions as soon as they are ready to hit the open game. Blizzard doesn't just release a new fetch quest for an area that hasn't been released, they have to design that ENTIRE area.

every gaming community has what you call " toxic " people. It's the internet.. It's where all the people who've been bullied in school can come together and flex their epeen. No matter where you go, smite, COD, WoW, D3, HoTs, DoTa, and any other games i didn't mention all have the same type of community. Any kind of online game is going to have toxic players. Maybe because LoL now has ALOT more players since season 1, but nonetheless. Coming on the forums and announcing you are quitting isn't going to affect RIOT or anyone. For every 1 player who has played this game a long time 10 new players come in and spend money. Nothing against you, but your post means nothing. I agree with some of your statements, but quitting because of toxic people and Kindred being released late doesn't feel like a valid reasoning for quitting. If you can't handle toxic people... good luck on having a job with co workers around you or a boss who isn't so friendly. Unless you work at home than shit, you can be as toxic to yourself as you want.

The only truly fully balanced multiplayer games that I know exist that still have an active player base are Starcraft 2... and CS. That's it, and its really fucking disappointing that moba's have fallen so far into shit. The only difference between %%%gots in the LCS and some random Plat are the fact their team has all damn day to work together and understand how each other operate, they essentially are able to think as one. The reason I say that is to stress how little of a skill gap their is in this game now. Look at blitz for example.... you could literally miss 100 hooks... then at a key moment at the end of the game land ONE... just ONE... during an important team fight, even if by accident, and because the turrets are so weak you steam roll and win. Its a talentless game now.

reading this entire post makes my head hurt... all this post does just by glancing at it is that you are mad for what is probably a stupid reason and by reading everyone's post i can see that i am correct. First of all... why do you care about Kindred's release? are you a game programmer of any kind? you have no idea how hard to fix are some bugs? it doesn't matter if you have the world's best programmers, bugs can still be really hard to fix at times. I highly doubt you even know how to program the most basic of stuff so don't come here complaining about bugs not being fixed. Do you prefer they release the champion with the bugs? i highly doubt it

No interaction? have you seen all the red posts? many other companies barely have even half the interaction with their players other than the most generic of responses. Riot has interacted the most out of any other company but if you think you can find a better company in this regard then by all means do try. You also need to know that just because you want something it might not be best thing to give you, the world does not revolve around you so deal with it.

"Riot just wants money" can i reply that with "the sky is blue!"? of course they want money, THEY ARE A COMPANY what type of company doesn't want money? this game is also FREE TO PLAY! you don't have to spend a single cent in order to play and the only things you can get with money is cosmetic stuff that gives 0 advantage whatsoever.

You are just looking for things to be mad at for no reason whatsoever and then trying to justify them for your reasoning to quit a game and you wanting a company to "burn" is just a childish thing to say and further degrades whatever good points you might have had in the first place
