Your true customer base deserve some focus

This patch season change was too abrupt at the pace that Riot has balanced things in the past and the fact that one of the items they changed comes out of pbe broken means we will not see near universal viability in champion pools for a long time.I will give some examples.

Many non burst control mages (lux,Orianna,Twisted fate) among others really got hurt badly with the removal of an item that was perfectly balanced mana potions. The removal of an option that is open to everyone yet used by only some is a buff to others. There was already a choice made to restrict the ability to fine tune non resource champions specific strengths by removing the ability to tune the secondary recourse. This was a mistake then there were mistakes made inside this mistake like no cool down abilities on champs that have no secondary resource to tune.

This patch was put into place with no obvious reasonable reason given or planned out path posted on these issues and it does not look good for people who do not play juts to win.

Riot stated that professional lvl play is the best balance place to look skill wise to tune the game.They are professionals yet your company future is dependent on the vast majority the casual player.The attitude you stated in the before you post balance issues is a limited rationalization I.E. Excuse to give middle finger to what makes your company viable the core base of players and income.

I don't wish to be all negative but instead of excuses and new items being broken on changing after weeks of testing. Defining a path with time estimates on where and when your taking the game might stop allot of negative posts.

How long had Poppy been targeted to need change when was the first statement that something needed to be done there is no estimate. Just like there is no estimated time line for the mana changes and balance adjustments from patch 5.22 this and the excuse that pro play is where the skill is most even to observe and make changes is frankly bad service to you true customer base and the community as a whole.

I could argue that professional play is not best test bed for balance on pure numerical statistics that the sample pool is too small and the changes happen before any true stability in statistical numbers exist. That it might be more accurate to crunch the numbers of every single game played by everyone to base the changes on. One might also argue that you use no real scientific methodology to derive these assumptions of what is balanced since you change too many things at a time to truly have any hope moving toward balance with consistency.

I could accept that The pro players do Figure out for you where they can abuse your mistakes. That is their job their job is not to have fun your Riot's is to make this game fun so the core income stays with you.Part of the community want to play and have fun they do not want to make a job of adjusting especially to bad patches. The best patches are the little ones the tuning where is the tuning of 5.22 you tossed it onto pbe then strait to the customer it seems this is what we see we see no tuning we see bulk tossed at us with an excuse and another new champ.Your customers deserve some focus!

And now u think just because u bought things that dont affect gameplay at all, that you can use it to make requests and demands? Imo only thing you can request should be related to stuff u bought with RP like skins.

He isn't trolling. I don't think you know what a troll is.

You listed Ori lux and TF as champion examples for mana pots.

Lux and Ori are fine without mana pots, it's just a matter of how bad you are with conserving mana. Even before the removal of said pots, I was fine without them. Yeah, I build a chalice or a tear or whatever, but that just lets me be more free with my casts, doesn't mean I shouldn't still be smart about mana consumption.

TF. How are you having mana troubles with him. His blue card gives him mana back.

He was not trolling yet! but he was stating what I think.Both of his questions have no basis in the discussion Just If I have right to do so or not so they were pointless. I hope that is good enough clarification on where I feel he was going with his questions.

This only has to do with facing certain champions in the current patch. They were fine before and we had the option to apply greater pressure early by using pots Question is HOW WERE MANA POTS NOT BALANCED ? Wards must have been unbalanced also? Change is not always for the better and hasty change is usually worse!

Yasuos lane phase has always been somewhat toxic overall he was fine as a champ but the no cool down free e with damage and mobility with the current masteries and one item he can have over 50 % crit chance and heal on every crit his ability to apply undue early pressure to force someone out of lane was increased due to item and tree changes on top of mages not having the option.

Currently it is suicide to do a full combo on a poke based mage like lux for if they live you have no mana and lose the lane after they hit 4 minions and full heal. Where before you could use that early empty slot for a mana pot.

Dont get me wrong i'm not like Its yasuo is un beatable its there was no adjustment made to all mana users or all non mana user's to restore balance were just supposed to trust that they will do it. Where I feel they should leave them in game UNTIL THEY ADJUST THINGS.

They fear the wave clear boring metta but they have not given their other changes a chance to show what will happen they did no adjustments in pbe that I know of beside disabling an item.
