that you guys ACTUALLY think riot will listen to you about the removal of normal draft.

remember when everyone was against DQ? what happened there?

remember when riot released azir and everyone said he was too buggy and needed to get the bugs ironed out? what happened?

remember when ekko hit pbe and everyone said "this guy is way too fucking strong to go to live like this"? what happened?

remember when vayne buffs were on pbe and everyone said "this is too much, she's way too good now"? what happened?

riot does not give a FUCK what its playerbase has to say about its "progressive" changes.

goodbye normal draft for everyone except NA and EUW

we got our preferred option back? It seems like you just proved yourself wrong in your example there bud

didn't he get some bugs worked out recently?

remember when ekko hit pbe and everyone said "this guy is way too fucking strong to go to live like this"? what happened?

er, he wasn't actually incredibly strong except for his mana costs (or lack of). Plus, PBE is for bug detections, not balancing so of course they weren't gonna make any immediate changes.

just like all the previous examples, it takes some time but I'm sure they'll get around to it. Vayne isn't exactly game-breaking at the moment so I'm not surprised they haven't given her top priority considering the incoming assassin rework is overshadowing her

just another wrong statement

just another wrong statement On Azir

lol azir is still buggy a year after release

On DQ

it took a whole year for riot to realize people were quitting their game because of stupid DQ. after a year of complaints and a year of "deal with it" they found out even their pros weren't streaming their game and THEN decided to do something about it

On Ekko ekko's ratios on top of his mana costs were fucking retarded on release. his shield was stronger, his q did more damage, his passive did more damage, and his ult hit like a fucking truck.

On vayne you don't realize how fucking broken she's going to be after the assassin update. you'll see.

Here is the thing about DQ. They arent going to remove something like that mid season. That would have lead to a lot of problems. I doubt it took them a full year, Tencent is the one pulling most of the strings and probably did not want it gone.

people didn't want DQ when it was introduced either. we were all happy with team builder.

speaking of which, removal of teambuilder further proves that riot did not give a fuck what we thought

"further proves" is an inaccurate statement considering how it's the only point that anyone here might have agreed with you on. I'm willing to just give Riot the benefit of the doubt and say they simply fucked up during their "experimentation" phase known as Season 6 and am content to remain sad about it's removal and hope it comes back eventually

hardly as much and it hardly deserves priority on their list of things to do, especially considering how much work it would take for a less-than-deserving and not immediately needed result. They only just got around to Yi which, if you don't code, was a huge project in itself.

simply not true, you can't just remove something as integrated into league as DQ in the middle of a season. The soonest possible time was for this next season

ekko's ratios on top of his mana costs were fucking retarded on release. his shield was stronger, his q did more damage, his passive did more damage, and his ult hit like a fucking truck.

it also helps that his ult was easy to land on players and his general kit was new enough to league where players took awhile to adjust and learn how to counter his playstyle. Ya, he was a bit overtuned when he was released (as customary for most champions because that's simply business, not a "i don't give a fuck about the playerbase" statement so don't be sensitive).

On vayne you don't realize how fucking broken she's going to be after the assassin update. you'll see.

with what? If you're talking about the new Duskblade, you realize she has to stay invisible for the full duration of her Q (assuming there isn't a control ward around) to activate that juicy 50 true damage? That's hardly worth it considering how she misses out on 2 autos and possible a w proc just for 50 extra damage...buying that item actually is going to be bad on Vayne

I dont think you fully understand the fact, Riot does care what we think, Tencent, the company that owns riot, doesn't. Riot HAS to answer to Tencent. If there is something they like, it happens until they feel they are losing money. Then they make Riot work on a solution.
