Riot listens to community!

I am truly TRULY greatful for Rito listening to our concerns that there simply isn't enough damage in this game. But now on PBE Zombie ward grants bonus damage vs champions after ward takedown. PBE also has ghost poro granting adaptive offensive stats too. The additional ignite buffs a few patches ago were a nice touch to top it off!

The truth is, us poor damage dealers suffer so much, it's like the whole system is set up against us. Those big meanie tanks even try to not let us kill them ugh. It's about time Rito started letting damage be done.

IMO we should add damage on proc for Phase Rush and Fleet Footwork and make exhaust deal 40 - 300 adaptive damage over the course of its duration. Or maybe let's give a universal 10% buff to all damage.

I also love how they still have bias towards LCS based champs [slayer-pantheon-rainbows]

Why are they adding damage to Zombie Ward? The vision function ALONE is why I often take Domination secondary on supports.

The thing is, it's not really more damage since it's in the same slot. I'm not vouching for Riot, but ultimately you're just picking which avenue/amount of damage you take. I agree that they need to nerf damage to bring it down to a level where it's even with other rewards. However, the only problem they're really adding to is low diversity of runes. Champions aren't going to be dealing more damage, but rather can just pick which route they want to go for the same outcome: Damage.

Besides, Eyeball Collection is still clearly superior as it rewards you for what you would do anyway: Getting takedowns. You don't need to put forth the effort to deny enemy vision or really put yourself more at risk than you usually would, like the others demand. Zombie Ward will synergize quite well with assassins who build Duskblade, but also making them trade in free AD for some one-time burst that might not even be that good as it does hinder your scaling for something you might not even be able to properly utilize from behind. Ghost Poro also provides too significant risk for its reward; really, I see this as a cheese rune for junglers looking to level 1 invade. Besides, it falls off too hard if you get behind; if you're turtling and are waiting for a good team fight to push back, you're not going to be using those adaptive stats very often, as opposed to the far more reliable Eyeball Collection. I think involving more risk is definitely a step in the right direction for Domination, but if they want the other two runes to stack up (which they're on their way to doing), they need to at least bring Eyeball Collection down to meet them.

I hope Riot adds an aoe damage for the actual ward radius. So, if a player enters a bush with an enemy ward, the player get a 5 second 10% magic armor reduction while simultaneously getting hit with aoe spell that lasts for 20 seconds. All the while, every 3rd ticks, a bonus 50% armor reduction and attack speed reduction of 70% for 10-50s depending on which river plant has spawned. That would be cool to see something random, so that anyone can have a chance to win the match.

I know this is old by now, but this thread totally belongs in the "memes and games" category.

Yes of course they are listening to us, didn't you see the 300 threads asking for the scuttle crab to be turned into a mini objective?

How about all the threads asking to nerf jungle diversity as people didn't like jungler drafting to team composition like Need a tank? Need an AP? Need a Duelist?

Yeaaaah, honestly this is why I quit the game. Riot plunged the game into anarchy and barely gives a fck.

TempName548467/7/2018, 3:58:59 AM3 votes

make exhaust deal 40 - 300 adaptive damage over the course of its duration.

but then people would actually take exhaust being an indirect nerf to damage, how about we change it from reducing the targets damage by 40% to increasing the damage they take by 40%?

Velasan7/6/2018, 11:36:38 PM3 votes

What? No damage on Unsealed Spellbook?

I need mah damagez!

TrikzterzArma7/6/2018, 10:56:35 AM3 votes

Heal should also deal damage to all enemy champions. After using teleport your next auto should deal bonus damage. Ghost should let you deal damage to all nearby enemies during its duration

Why do any of that? This damage problem can easily be solved by letting ignites stack.

they do listen to the community. they just don't listen to obnoxious children that can't be bothered to check actual statistics on how much damage is being done per game

Sõna7/7/2018, 1:45:27 PM2 votes

strongly suggest to add 20% damage to all of the champion, and remove all of the shield mechanism. Damn it is fun!!!

Critmaster Garen7/7/2018, 7:56:22 PM2 votes

technically there is no increase in damage, when simply no one had chosen zombie ward or ghost poro over eyeball collection.

since those choices are mutually exclusive, you dont stack more damage on top of each other, but youre chosing which damage rune you take, when before you simply took the only damage rune in that slot.

SaiyaJhin God7/7/2018, 11:33:26 PM1 votes

That won't change. They try to form a non-casual-player game to a game for casual players where each round takes as short time as possible. And the result: a mess that destroys the game experience of the long term players that would like to have back season 5...

This. This is why Riot doesn’t want to listen to the Boards. This is why Gameplay is a joke. Can you maybe shitpost in M&G or at least GD? Riot doesn't take you seriously because you've allowed yourself to devolve into this. If they didn't listen to you before, do you honestly think that this will make them change their mind?

Let's beak it down(I'd like to make a point of saying that this is a REASON; I'm am NOT trying to provide an EXCUSE. Riot SHOULD LISTEN more, but I'm trying to help you understand THEIR POSITION.): Say you're working for some business. You started out alright, but for one reason or another you start just legitimately sucking at it. So what does your boss do? Does he dock your pay? No. Does he fire you? No. Does he reprimand you at all? Yes; he constantly berates you, calling you worthless and completely inadequate, hanging over your shoulder, ready to blast you with sarcasm at every turn. What would you do in this scenario? I think it would be obvious that you should quit. If this is the kind of thing that is okay to your boss, then clearly you shouldn't be working for him. You're your own person and are more than capable of finding a means of living that does not involve verbal and emotional abuse.

This, of course, is where the analogy falls apart, since Riot chooses to stick with the game in spite of this horrendous community. The reasoning for this could be any number of things, but that's not the point. The point is that just because you shouldn't be doing a shitty job for this long in the first place, doesn't mean it's suddenly okay for a community to be like this. If you want Riot to take you seriously, then act like it; be a mature human being and explain your position without all the sarcasm, insults, unkind memes, and unnecessary profanity. What would people think if Riot was like this to its players? They would be called immature, unprofessional, and overall childish. I can guarantee you they wouldn't be as successful as they are.

Riot may be doing a crappy job as a company, but I gotta say that you're doing a pretty shit job yourself in trying to give feedback.
