A bit of a Rant
With the various cases of Riot discrepancies over the past few days, combined with how the wording of the tank update makes everyone hate Lee Sin, I was a bit shocked to see how the community responded. Its honestly kinda depressing. Its also kinda irritating. It seems all I see is misinformation, opinions presented as facts, and entitled League players.
In regards to the Nunu support case, you see people sticking up for the Nunu main. While its nice to see that League players are actually showing some form of compassion towards each other, its also sad that people immediately blame Riot. People stop and say, "How come this guy gets banned even though all those toxic feeders on my team never do?" And instead of drawing the conclusion, "Hey this guy must be doing some pretty bad stuff to be reported this much", people instead draw the conclusion that's Riots in the wrong. While I, personally, agree that the banning of the Nunu was unjustified, I don't think it was Riots fault. Before you dismiss this as merely some shit-post, consider this:
If you que for something distinctly off Meta, tell your team you're doing it, only to find out that they don't want it in their game, who is it at fault? Is it the player, forcing his/her team to play how they want? Or is it the team, preventing a player from doing what they want? If I was Riot, the best way to deal with this problem is too remove it. Since Riot can't ban a team, the only apparent option is to remove the player.
Another thing that bothers me is that people take, and say things that aren't facts, like they are. For example, the case with Jhin, people will tell you he's got a 50% winrate with a 50% playrate. That's not true. Jhin is the most popular champion, but his playrate is more like 34-37%. This and this both show his playrate as far less than 50%. I see all these people, all riled up about Jhin, with all the wrong information. When you post something here, with information that's either incorrect or outdated, all your doing is making the chaotic state of the boards worse. At least try to fact-check your sources, don't just knee-jerk post.
Finally, player entitlement. Its depressing, it really is. I started seeing this during the release of the Karma Winter-Wonderland skin. Before I start, I apologize to any Karma mains who aren't like this, sorry you have these clowns maining your favorite champion. I saw several articles about how the skin wasn't good enough for Karma, and how it was Riot's job to fix the skin, and make it more deserving of Karma. What? I understand the want to have your main represented well, but the way some people would act, it disgusted me. It was pathetic, and more so, the behavior I would expect from children, disappointed in their parents choice of presents. It was disgraceful. Then I see things like Autofill hate posts or responses to certain changes in champions and items, and I think to myself, "How can a person be this entitled?" League is a free to play game. It is not like COD, Halo, or No Man's Sky, where you pay for a product, and expect a certain amount of quality in return. It just irritates me.
Well, that's the end of this. Thanks for reading.
