Players from 2013 already knew what the game would be like in 2018.

Because of ULTRA RAPID FIRE MODE! Riot said it was the future of League of Legends and it actually is lol

Thats why the game is very short now and everyone has easy access to excessive CDR and the damage is very high.

Dear, old friend...I had always wanted to see you again. To reminisce and think about all the good times we shared. To go back to the old days and laugh about it all, both the good and the bad. To remember everything and rekindle a fading memory. For so long I've waited to see you and go back to all of it...

But not like this...Not like this...

Yeah, and they are doing it the worst possible way. Old URF was more balanced and fun than this garbage, and it was JOKE MODE. What does that tell you? Seems to me the balance team is a joke.

Mmmm old URF permanently banned out several champions in the first few days.

That's a big oof.

Last I recall Riot didn't have to disable Vladimir because he auto-won games.

No it wasn't. Don't blow shit out of proportion. URF's modifiers haven't been changed really so until a champion gains 80% cooldown reduction, it will not be in any way comparable.

And old URF was changed into ARURF because people realized what the meta was - Lux Kassadin Ezreal Ahri Leona Fizz Brand Fiora Nidalee Orianna Sona Xerath constant shitheads like these ones over here who basically took away the fun from everyone and ruined the game mode by completely warping the meta around them as THEY were the meta and still are had to be forced to be put in line without getting removed from the game mode. So they were only removed from the selection instead as was everyone else for the sake of RNG, apparently.

Balance team has always been a complete joke. I really wish I could work for Riot as their balance team. Put a bunch of nonsensical reasoning, put in a few random changes, and give a half assed excuse why, and get paid for it. No actual thinking required.

Yeah because nobody wants to actually play League lol.. People find enjoyment off of that gamemode because Dominion is gone, its the only gamemode where you're in control partially and theres some element of entertainment and playability.

Well it is mostly because people don't actually want strategy or deep gameplay. Seems like people just really wanna spam buttons and get big kills eh? (^:

This man is on to something lol.

One thing I've noticed is that everybody's ults are up like all the time. Zed, talon, yasuo etc.. I swear I feel like their ults are always up. Ive seen a zed ult twice in a teamfight… not sure if that is common or not, but I don't remember that happening back in the day.

Using the Ultimate Hunter (with all 5 stacks), and the Transcendence Perk, along with having max 40% CDR, can get Zed's Ultimate down to 24 seconds. Dunno if Teamfights last that long.

Uh, okay. But don't you folks want gameplay to be taken seriously?

Taken seriously by who? Riot obviously doesn't take the overwhelming majority of suggestions here seriously, and none of the reddit community takes the Boards as a whole seriously. At this point Gameplay isn't about suggestions, or balance discussions. It's just a place to come vent about how you like or don't like the LoL gameplay experience.

Not everyone agrees with you; many people would like to see gameplay become a place of discussion and progress with Riot devs again. As long as you hold onto this attitude that the board exists only to rage about things, you will continue to harm your own interests and the interests of people who want to see gameplay become something better - something more.

Basic decency is owed to you but respect is earned. If you want respect then act respectably.

I'm not talking about what I want. I don't want it to turn into a vent area. I'm talking about what it has already become REGARDLESS of whether I approve of it or not. Don't be so quick to assume that just because I don't jerk off to my own massive IQ in every post that I must be a mouth-breathing troll (not talking about you specifically, fyi).

Don't want the Boards to continue in the current trend? Then only focus on making well thought out posts, NOT waxing eloquent about how "this place could be so much better, you ignorant peasants!" I assure you, only a tiny fraction of internet users will ever change their minds because someone told them to online.

Okay, I'm sorry for assuming about you, although I didn't assume such a colorful thing as what you said there.

If nobody pushes back when posts like this take over gameplay then how will anyone learn to do anything different?

Maybe Riot could be respectful of their community at times then lol. They often do good work but they've not got a great track record as of late of listening to the community. There's a reason people think Riot are a joke. They keep reinventing the wheel with pointless tweaks and reworks for the sake of change and they also will ignore blatant balance issues for ages. The ardent censer getting away with 6 months of ruining the meta before getting a nerf and then suddenly a bunch of shield/heal nerfs happening months into the next season when Fighters/Assassins are on the rise makes them seem willingly ignorant or out of touch.

Hell even if we ignore stuff like that, there have been years of time where the boards has had a good opinion of Riot and even though you'd regularly see whiney threads they'd often get downvoted or ignored. It's really been recently when people have been clearly aware Riot ignores these boards that it's become a rant board for the most part. After all, constructive, long thought out threads are ignored the majority of the time and it takes a lot of time and effort to compile these kinds of threads. Meanwhile someone like Hashinshin goes on a screed about how Riot games needs to kill themselves and every toplaner every starts saying "HASHINSHINS RIGHT" and suddenly tons and tons of changes to Fighters to make them stronger come through. Riot doesn't reward respect, clearly.

HalcyonDweller1 votes

Communication is a two way street, as long as the gameplay board is insistent that it's not their fault and it's all Riot's fault then they aren't ever going to change or fix their side of things. If gameplay wants to keep harassing Rioters then they can't reasonably expect Riot to care what gameplay has to say.

Riot absolutely should make more of an effort to fix relations with us. But it's a two-way street. We ought to take responsibility for our part in things too. Being tilted is fair, but choosing to do nothing to overcome it and get better is not.

Weiss Guertena2 votes

Why do we act like this? Why, it's simple. There have been well written and thought out posts about balance. A shitload of them. And they are all falling on Riot's deaf ears. People can only try leading an actual discussion for so long if other side is adamantly refusing to listen.

So, If I want to express my dissatisfaction about the state of the game I could write a paragraph upon paragraph explaining in detail why the game isn't balanced, with maths to prove it and accomplish essentially nothing except wasting my time because Riot wants games to be short, flashy, E-sports and internet cafe friendly. Or I could spend 5 minutes making a joke to stab at Riot's incompetence. Both will have exactly the same effect in a greater picture of things: none.

HalcyonDweller1 votes

That was then, this is now. You're tilted about the boards. That's fair, you have every reason to be. In the past things sucked, and they're not great yet either.

However, there are Rioters making an effort to come to the boards and talk with us. When you people bash them for the crimes of Rioters past you only push them away and force the situation back to the way it was. If you care at all about being heard then you should be making an effort not to drive Rioters away.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH WHAT A SAVAGE BURN BRO!!!

But seriously, I can understand why the balance team as much is I disagree with them, don't come here a lot. honestly is I feel like people on both sides are messing things up and anyone with common sense can do nothing but watch how things become worse and worse.

I mean, it's not about burning someone, I just wasn't in the mood to deal with that kind of sass at the time. It's not productive and I was trying to discuss a point, which they were deflecting the conversation away from by trying to cleverly bash Rioters.

I'm glad you see that it's an issue on both sides. Most people here just insist that it's all Riot's fault. These people claim that they shouldn't have to change their ways. IMO, as long as they contribute to the problem then they can't reasonably expect Riot to fix it either. Communication is a two way street.

We need to do a better job of shutting down people who care more about putting Rioters down than they do about having their concerns heard.
