ModWulf Helhammer20 votesThe AMA was for the people that do obscure jobs that have nothing to do with design or balance. How are those types of questions (disregarding how wrong those questions even are in the first place) relevant at all?

u/RiotToast is a Global Policy Strategist for Global Esports. He works on the Competitive Operations team to help design, implement, and manage Riot's global event structure and competitive ecosystem.
u/dzareth is Strategic Advisory lead for League of Legends. He oversees a number of strategic functions, like analytics, revenue strategy, growth, strategic finance and data. He also basically lives at Riot's Bilgewater cafe.
u/RiotDavin is Director of Insights for Riot Games. He helps researchers, analysts, and strategists all around Riot study and learn from players so that we can better serve them.
1 of those 3 must have had some sort of insight of what is going if they are planning anything :)

That sounds like none of them know anything about balance actually.
First guy works with the players themselves, second guy works with the numbers, and third guy works with system like player behavior?
RitoDayCare5 votesexactly and every question evolving around player behaviour or balance in the game was avoided and they just answered stupid questsions
Hydroxlic2 votesIn their defense it only says "Ask me anything" it doesn't say "I will answer everything" in no way are they required to answer literally every question they get. Most people pick and choose what they answer in these types of situations anyways.

Because in the past every time they have tried, this community soundbited it and used it against them, like Lyte and his degree, even though it was a question that someone asked him and yet this community acted like it was him saying he was better then them and he was flaunting it even though once again, it was a question said community asked him, or now with the 200 years of experience kind of thing. If people want them to answer questions like that, give them respect and don't use it as a means of saying "ha gotcha" and improperly quote said comment to "prove a point."

I don't recall anything about him being a wife beater. This could be seen as libel.

Rito has always approached their Q&As in this manner. Intentionally avoiding meaningful inquiries & conversations and intentionally cherry picking softballs & blind praise.
When players demanded Sona's 4.13 rework be reverted in the many months following, Rito was dead silent. As though the subject were taboo. Only when the sheer quantity of angry complaints reached the fever pitch of a deafening roar did Meddler finally respond. That response was filled only with obvious lies & blatant dismissal of customer discontent.
In spite of that offense & his false propaganda, she received a 2nd rework soon after. Contrary to his false claims that she was "doing just fine."

Not that Riot's balancing team gameplay design team does
Eedat8 votesYou asked a question that is an obvious trap and made it obvious you already had a strong opinion one way then you genuinely dont understand why you didnt get an answer?
Darkdemon6537 votesDid you actually expect anything different?
Saezio6 votesYou could have asked "Are there any changes planned for matchmaking/MMR?" Like a polite person and not include a huge load of irrelevant crap like an entitled little cont.
Why would they answer you when you are insulting them? What was the point of including anything except the question itself?
duckmania2 votesmaybe customers wouldnt be so aggressive if rito actually provided a decent product?
Saezio2 votes(I almost never have demands from riot because I am a f2p player, so I can't ask for anything since I am a fucking free-loader)
But just to entertain the discussion I will flip the script on you.
Maybe if the product wasn't decent there wouldn't be customers. Maybe riot's intention isn't to actually lose money.
If OP wanted their question answered and their intention wasn't to insult riot they might have gotten an answer. But OP is either severely lacking in communication skills, or their initial intention was to not get answered. That's my take.
P.S. being polite is a nice quality to have. And it gets you better results than being a %%%%. In my personal experience at least.
Bijeesny1 votesMaybe if the product wasn't decent there wouldn't be customers. Maybe riot's intention isn't to actually lose money.
When it comes to this, you need to consider 3 things:
it was good in the past, so now it's partially riding on the old fame
There are a lot of diehard league fans who're still here
there is barely any competition....you have smite, which is kinda different because of the 3rd person so it's not youre average league player's cup of tea, hots which is pretty much killed by blizzard + too much team-dependant gameplay, and dota, which is the only one who can go toe to toe with league, but it's too difficult to get into.
All of this points can have an effect on game's survival. In short, despite all riot's fuck-ups, they still hold the monopoly of the moba genre, which is why the game is still popular.
Kazekiba2 votesOP: Im flaming and attacking this company's employees, why wont they answer my totally irrelevant, not-my-job question?!
JustA kleo5 votesOP: Im flaming and attacking this company's employees, why wont they answer my totally irrelevant, not-my-job question?!
how it actually went: OP: asking totally legit question. yeah its not directly a job question but man if riot goes public once a year, you need to take the chance.
but hey i mean sure, lets ask about janitors getting rito accs lul so funiz xD
duckmania2 votesimagine actually caring about the direction of development, and not the janitors account status...
JustA kleo2 voteslol reddit in a nutshell. you talk bad about riot and yet you got 3 upvotes. thats impressive.
Subdue2 votesIf YOU were doing an AMA and you had a troll clearly trying to bait you into derailing the AMA while ignoring anything meaningful you have to say anyway, would you respond? Or would you ignore them and continue with the people who aren't trolls?
duckmania1 votesthere was little meaning to this ama, who cares about the custodians account.
2gudaiya1 votesyou guys who keep complaining about gameplay and balance are just bad at the game.
