Riot is filled with great employees who are also players (Cactopus)

bane898··4 votes·306 views

was reading Riot Cactopus' comments on how 'Riot has changed in a bad direction', and I found myself agreeing with his POV. I've never been a salty player, rarely had any issues with the game, and the constantly balancing and changing state of the game keeps me coming back almost every day. I cant name a single other game I've ever put this many hours on with no regrets. In fact, I only regret that I started playing so late (season 4 start, sometime around when vel'koz launched i think). Having the employees largely (if not almost entirely) be people that also play the game adds a huge impact, and i just wanted to throw a little appreciation towards them in a board system mostly filled with complaints. keep at it guys! (and keep me on the PBE too if you would be so kind haha)

So you enjoy 20 minute games?

Because that not what i signed up for. When i started in season 1 it was 45+

Good thing you didnt sign anything that keeps you playing without your choice in that case.

Lol. What a typical response.

"If you dont like what riot is doing with the game youve spent 10s of thousands of hours play...FUCK OFF AND LEAVE".

Fucking riot apologists i swear...

I've been playing since season 3 and i dont see how "THIS SEASON DE WORST". Maybe i'd respond seriously if i didnt see these comments made every patch every pre season and every season. I've spent money on a lot of games too, but when i stopped having fun i moved on. Maybe take a break and you wont have such a cynical view and look back and see every season is the same wack of balance followed by a constant shifting meta.

Im sorry bro. Been playing since early season 1.

And NEVER has the average game length been closer to 20 minutes than it is now.

This isnt a "muh game is unbalanced complaint" its a "this game is legit no longer the game i used to play"

If i wanted a 20 minute game id go play HoTS (i do play it) because team fights are about 600x better due to better tank and support balance.

Leauge is supposed to be more about the macro of the game I.E proper rotations and objectice taking slowly adding up to an advantage till you can close the game.

The game now is... (get adc 3 kills win game by 15 minutes due to MASSIVE snowballing)

I mean i know a challenger irl. He says people will call open mid and go afk AFTER ONE FUCKING DEATH SNOWBALLING IS SO BAD RIGHT NOW.

Thats right 0/1 is a death sentence in higher tier games.

If that doesnt speak absolute shit balance i dont know what to tell you.

Nah, the balance is extra bad this preseason. This is not like other seasons. This is a huge mess. And Riot acts like they have no clue what they are doing either.

I too like getting my asshole fucked by Riot's poor balancing. Oh well, at least I lube myself up every preseason. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]
