Riot actually listens to us...

I don’t know where this circle jerk started, but riot infact does listen to its community and veteran players.

For example:

We asked for more stopwatch nerfs -> its on pbe

We asked for rengar rework to be reverted -> its on pbe

We asked for ZOe nerfs -> Fantastic nerfs on pbe

We asked for a bruiser keystone -> its in the works for 8.6 most likely

We asked for mage itemization changes -> its on the pbe

Honestly, im satisfied. Maybe riot started out rocky this season, but they’re definetly listening. Just because a Riot doesn’t respond to posts doesn’t automatically justify that they don’t listen to their community. Riot is a big company, give them a little more respect and patience.

You haven't been around long enough to know about all the things we've been screaming into the void for years over.

I will give respect to riot as a company when they give respect to me as a gamer.

I do not like playing Call-of-duty style league that basically serves no purpose now but to pass the time with braindead gameplay.

Because it ruins proplay.

We asked for rengar rework to be reverted -> its on pbe

Took a year.

We asked for ZOe nerfs -> Fantastic nerfs on pbe

ruined proplay

We asked for a bruiser keystone -> its in the works for 8.6 most likely

Fucking 5 months of no keystone is still unacceptable.

We asked for mage itemization changes -> its on the pbe

Mages builds just changed from Morello + Liandyrs to Ludens/Seraph's into Morello. Same damage, more CDR, less HP, and still going to be powered and force assassins out of mid lane still.

Also Lost Chapter is getting buffed. The item that completely turns mid into 'waveclear, the game'is getting buffed.

Please tell the assassin mains that have asked for reverts for over a year about how Riot listens, I have a feeling you aren't going to find too many that are sympathetic towards Riot. Sure "better late than never" and all, but it feels like real shit when the eta on fixing a champion(s) is over an entire season.

Barely. There are still alot more things that they havent listened on. They continue to nerf champs ex. kogmaw instead of items that give them the power to be this powerful. eg. rageblade

Do you know how long a Rengar revert has been asked for? It's been over a year. Not only that, but it's also not a complete revert, it's mainly just his Q.

I asked talon buffs. Guess I gotta wait longer

Probably because these fixes are bandaid fixes and don't address the main problems

Zoe's problem is in her design, but they're keeping it.

Stopwatch's problem is in its existence and the high damage meta, but they're keeping it.

You get the idea.

8.6 is a long time to wait, Riot just hates people like me who love bruiser champions, and they don't want me to win games playing bruiser champions. That's a fact.

You live in an illusion. It is like saying "policeman saw me.being assaulted and they came and saved me". Which means simply that when shot goes down they have to do something.

So stopwatch had to be nerfed and not because we said so but because it's unhealthy item that of all things ruined LCS so they had to act. Rengar rework was a failure and they knew it. Same like kog maw. It was so bad they had to revert it at some point.

Zoe nerfs great. Not like first they gave us ridiculous 0.25 sec nerf so she can be broken sand do glad"balanced" plays in LCS longer. Plus it doesn't fix anything since she will still be able to oneshot people with half an item. Zoe doesn't need nerfs like that. She needs damage nerfs. More precisely scaling nerfs.

They noticed lack of bruiser keystone in November. They were doing literally nothing being lazy and kept put it off. It will be 5 months. But of course they managed to create new tank rune in the meantime and reacted immediately on e.g. kogmaw with unnessecery buffs. 3 days kog wasn't top tier and got buffed in pbe for next patch. Biased as fk.

Mage itemization was a long topic already.

Let me remind things they never listen. Dynq. At some time they had to bring back soloq but intentionally didn't do it. Who cares about player experience of veteran players if casuals and baddies give us money and climb for free.

Jayce broken for 2 years. Nothing done. Gnar finally after 4 fking years some nerfs. Twitch strong entire year, nothing done except some band aid fix that does nothing actually. Tanks still overtuned with damage. Gp finally getting some nerfs but they don't change that much since his dumb playstyle that wins lane for him won't change. He will just Q you in lane 50 times instead of 55.and wiłl keep standing safely on the barrel. Btw do you remember ardent censer? They didn't nerf it with dumb excuses so LCS can have longer teamfights and shit. Up till now Lulu is broken, same Janna or healing supports. Denying a kill with one click to even a super fed assassins.

TLDR:just because they did something what community was talking about doesn't mean they listened. In these cases those fixes are a must and many of them don't accomplish shit or could be done long ago but they did t want to move their butts or simply wanted it that way.
