when you look at the balance team in person you start understanding why this game is declining

I dont know why Meddler is hiring these young gamers to handle the balance team, this is a bad idea for the simple reasons that im about to explain.

  1. young gaming balance team is going to be biased to what THEY like to play, this clouds objective/goal oriented balancing decisions. ??? examples: *Cassiopeia rework failure

*juggernaut meta Darius Garen

*constant balance swings that hurt LCS, pro's are not machines that can easily adapt to every fkn patch 'hey im a Riot balance team member, i have no fkn idea what im doing' http://www.adanyeva.org/Assets/b7e.jpg

Seriously Riot can you fkn explain what your goals are for this game?

This is what you are doing: selecting a few champions that will dominate for a couple of patches and shutting some champions down.

Bjergson 4/20/2016 on twitch: fan sends message for bjerg to play champion X,

bjerg reply: 'No point in playing that champ, it's about to be changed'

This is Riot's balance team in a nutshell

why the fk should i play any champ when it's certain champs favored each patch and others destroyed, this is becoming a patch/trendy balance that's going NOWHERE, no GOAL, just constant fkn change

im mad? yea, DECLINING LCS numbers, DECLINING player base.

Young gamer? That's probably the nicest compliment I've received today. :) Also if I was half as attractive as that golden, I'd be counting my lucky stars.

then what explains the balance philosophy of this company? it's effects are devastating to casual and pro players, you think that significant changes every 2 weeks or 1 patch is healthy for the game? and i dont mean new content, new content is always awesome, what im talking about is balance changes, you people are out of hand, you resemble young testosterone filled gamers so wake the fk up please and get your shiiiiits together

You're like insane. the changes made are rarely massive, reworks aside, the meta is just sensitive to small changes. As for those reworks they're badly needed.

As a Riot employee you should be actually addressing player concerns, especially popular ones like this. I know this guy is being a bit of a dick, but regardless this is something players want to be adressed. Also I'm super happy that you are responding to this and not explaining the (holds in anger) drastic (holds in anger) changes to Viktor's kit (holds in crying)

No matter what rito did, shaming and cursing is a very disrespectful thing to do.

No it's not. If I had my way I'd knock most of you the fuck out.

shame is how people feel when they get called out on their shit if you don't want to be called out on your shit don't do shit. 'cursing' or so its called are words just like any other have meaning and push certain points it just so happens certain people feel bad about them and so they are considered taboo.

The tone of this post kind of sucks, but the constant changes to everything is indeed getting really tiresome.

Challenger Karma7 votes

most can agree with me on this, maybe my tone was out of hand but someone has to say it, declining LCS, declining player base comes from somewhere

EROTIC RAID BOSS4 votes

No one agrees with you that's why you're downvoted to hell

IsoVhell4 votes

No the post is fine.

Lol so you brought up the juggernauts, want to also bring up how PLAYERS kept telling riot the juggernauts were weak causing riot to rush to buff them before release?

I'm glad riot are taking their sweet time before changing issues because players are retarded as much as I like playing with them players will forevermore be too quick to jump ship and make things blow up more than it should.

You need to calm down, accept that changes are coming and they are great changes to make the game even more balanceable if something gets too strong/weak.

Took me three times over to realize Bjergson had NOT in fact managed to score over two thousand assists as mid lane twitch.

Nope it does not bug me, so no your sad life of trolling is not accomplished! And well your sad life comment reported. I know your life sucks, I really do I wish you the best in finding that happiness! You know the one your hand can't provide!

Guys, I think it's trying to communicate.

IsoVhell1 votes

What does that even mean? Like do you find this funny? Or? Because really it just makes you look stupid! None the less I wasted enough energy on someone who has no life and needs to get out more and maybe if is even possible needs to get laid!

I wonder why people think sex is some magical thing that can change a person's personality.

Because that's a scary thought. I'm pretty sure less people would have sex if that's the case and the human population would die out unless we discovered cloning early one.

You missed the point, try and think out side the box!

I feel like the Juggernaut update along with allowing champions like Lux, Dr. Mundo to stay OP for absurd lengths of time was partially a "fuck you" to complaints about mobility creep.

I do think a gamer with a solid background in mathematics/number crunching would be best. or have a gamer share his ideas then turn it over to number crunchers to make it work.

It's fine. I prefer LoL though, because of several unappealing mechanics and the drab art style, although they get points for their quality particle effects.

why you think I make smurf accounts and just level them up to play to diamond 1 again. I dont bother trying to go anything area than diamond because its literally just people picking meta and nothing else. They are good at the game, no doubt. But its literally just "pick meta or lose at champ select" the higher you go in solo queue. Its pathetic really.

That's diamond in a nut shell.

LCS means nothing to me.

I play the game because I want to play it, if you play the game because of LCS then you are playing it for the wrong reason.

It's a symptom of the destabilizing effect some of the changes have on gameplay. That they could affect LCS level players, who devote the most time to playing and adapting to the game and its changes demonstrates the extent of the problem
