Riot balance team....

Moonfall Saber··47 votes·13,763 views

By the time you guys fix a problem there has been 3-4 new problems that have arrived. This has been the going rate since season 4. If you continue like this then the game will be so frustrating to play that players will drop like flies. Then what? Riot games has only one game to play so losing a player-base would be detromental to the company.

will be frustrating? It's frustrating now in 70% of games...

Then Riot will realize " Oh game is shit for like 5 yrs and all players are gone we can't sell any skin... Let's work on the game "..

I died of laughter >xD

It's going to take more than that for it to click. Here, I've fixed it for ya:

"Oh game is shit for like 5 yrs and all players are gone we can't sell any skin... Let's release a chroma bundle."

I can't quit because I have played this game so long I don't know what else to do in my spare time.

Its unhealthy as fuck and all this game does is piss me off now, I don't even have fun 75% of the time. addiction is a bitch.

Don't know who and why downvoted you, but what you say it's totally true, and also a serious thing. It's good you're aware of it, though. You know it's unhealthy for you, so maybe try to slowly work on it, one step at a time; find another game, play it less, go for a walk once a day, call some friends...

This happened to me. I have so much invested in it, and I had so much fun, but I guess I got one game too far, and I'm now actively trying to stop playing until something is done to fix the game. I keep getting so angry, and I have enough to deal with that I don't need that happening in League too. The damage is insane and half the time I die and don't even know why.

It makes me both glad and sad other people have this problem. I'm really only, like, 2 days without playing, so whether I stick to it or not is a different beast, but good luck.

E-books Audiobooks (working out, cleaning...) (YouTube also has some, Audible if you want to pay) Steam, GOG, and a bunch of other stores have loads of games, cheap, Free-to-Play, or otherwise. Learning a new language or skills through Anki/Memrise, YouTube, etc... will take up a huge chunk of your spare time too.

Found it easy to keep myself busy after quitting this game, but always root for Rito to go back to the release-S4 glory days since I love the characters so much.

Don't worry they still have china so they don't care when eu and na stops playing.

I can see that happening.

i.e. The blowfish even though it is known to be toxic, it is still consumed despite the fact that you might die if the chef screwed up while preparing it.

The blowfish is at least nice if it doesent kill you. Lol wont be.

Guess why new problems arrive all the time, maybe the DESIGN TEAM shares part of the blame and it's not all fault of the Balance team, and there's more wrong on the design team than just the classic CertailyT that is the only one that ppl complain about.

previously the balance team had the authority to REMOVE problematic elements...yet they seem to not choose to do so unless it's something that they caused directly (Banner of Command)

kits shouldn't have 15 parts in just the abilities and champions whose kits are the problems certainly don't need base stat tweaks

I honestly think about champs like Azir or Kalista that have been balance nightmares and the main problem is their design.

Dope Solo3 votes

They're called the "gameplay team", because they haven't earned any right to be called a balance team.

Riot balance team....

Thats.... no it cant be true. The balance team...a legend from the old times... they say that it exsisted at season 4 era...

It... it is not possible.

You talk as if you believe that perfect balance can exist. It can't. It's what keeps the game moving forward. People find new things that have been hidden in plain sight (new cass Q max build for example), while others are addressed over time. What you're saying is that the moment a strong build emerges it is nerfed back into line, instead of exploring other ways of equalizing them a little, without destroying the playstyles that come along it.

World of warcraft had perfect balance back in lich king. Its possible. Because LOL has so many champions it would take longer but they dont even try to balance anything. Instead they try to craft metas.

  1. How many of those 'new players' are actually smurf accounts?
  2. For how long will those new players actually stay?

From China, the NA and EU playerbase has been in steady decline for 3 seasons now.

in the eastern market, which is the most unsteady market of all and tends to follow western trends

the moment another game comes along, they'll drop it fast

Starcraft and command and conquer are examples of this. They still have a few dedicated players, but the vast majority (less than a few thousand at max and that's giving them a lot of room for numbers...) are eastern players

Many of those "3-4 new problems" are in fact attempts to fix the original problem. When one champion becomes problematically strong, instead of just nerfing them outright, maybe rolling back some inherently overpowered mechanics that can't be solved by number tweaks or else introducing fair and balanced mechanical counters to them, the balance team just buffs the damage of 1 or more other champions to "compensate".

The whole dismal spiral has been going on for ages. Many champions only "counter" another because they dish out bat-shit crazy damage. These champions are then in turn "countered" by other champions that just blow them up even faster. And so on.

Wish the game would be more strategic rather than "Dur, I have the biggest stick".

Please tell me a time when 3-4 more problems appeared when they fixed one. I'm not challenging you, I am just wondering.

3TWarrior3 votes

storm razer

banner of command

conqueror

runes reforged(which they rarely touch)

even the "balance" of the champion itself causes external problems, such as a 5 MS nerf to irelia. Champions whose kits are the problem do not benefit from base stat tweaks

I want to know why hextech revolver does 50 - 125 bonus damage on auto attack now, etc

rengarok071 votes

Exactly, a champ that can roam and doesn't miss a minion cuz she is back already "quin". A tank that one shots with zero items "illaoi" a permanent stun" Leona" a zero cooldown unkillable jax. I one shot.even.when I am not fed "yi". I never loose a trade "Sylas".
