It's sad that you're not allowed to criticize the balance team here on the boards

Even if all you're doing is pointing out the fact that they show clear bias for certain champs while a vast majority of others have been left in the dirt of mediocrity never to see any meaningful change or play for entire seasons.

But hey, this is what the game has become, and after Riot's fiasco at PAX why should anyone be surprised that they've fallen so far as to censor simple opinions now?

Your first post was deleted with a warning that further posts of that nature would merit increased action against your account.

You immediately re-posted that thread, changing one word that did not change the meaning of the post in the slightest. Thus, your account was banned.

The only differences in your two posts:

They quite honestly deserve to be fired at this point because they aren't doing their jobs..._ (deleted with warning)_


They quite honestly need to be looked at because at point they aren't doing their jobs at all... (deleted with ban)

In other places in your posts, you called Rioters "incompetents" and said that they should be removed from their positions via metaphor ("sacked" which means "fired", which is against the Universal Rules ).

You are free to criticize them. But acting like every champion could easily be brought into a balanced state if the balance team would want it is just delusional. Balance is not that simple, especially across so many different skill levels.

What? Every third post for the last few months has been, "the balance team needs to be replaced, removed, or fired."

Yeah. Like I think it's fine especially if it's constructive criticism. Calling Riot out and asking for them to fire someone is a bit overboard though, even if a ton of people agree that it should happen.

Riot clearly does have a bias though and they keep making horrible mind blowing decisions that have caused a shit ton of people to leave. I even heard their revenue is down a good bit as well. So why can't we criticize? :/

What are you talking about? Half the threads on the front page are calling Riot trash

honestly the difficulty in balancing if I could use an objective culprit is probably all these rapidfire reworks in the last 2 or 3 years along with the frequent release of new champions as the pool gets bigger balancing gets that much more difficult. But riot has been trying to keep the game fresh AND stable which can be a daunting task in and of itself so I understand the reasoning.

I think riot has added 30 or 40 champs since I first started playing? and several of these reworks are almost like getting new champs. Maybe increasing the numbers in the balance team may help? The new runes, new items, reintroduction of some items, the pace is absolutely scorching and its extremely difficult to keep up with I would imagine. Considering the amount of content released I would imagine balancing is pretty tough. Plus I mean skin sales may factor into these decisions as well? Gotta make money. I think the balance team is becoming more like pro sports refs everyday, seems like no one will ever be satisified. Just my thoughts :)

While i HATE many decisions Rioters make, mainly with the reworks (in that they exist at all), i would never wish anyone to lose his job for it. You have some mental problems, my man.

I thought that that was the only kind of post allowed on the boards
