Hi Meddler and Maple Nectar,

After seeing the linked discussion/riot response can you please start adding additional notes, context, intended impact, what you’re trying to address with changes aimed at helping the top lane issues in these patches? The obvious things like nerfing Orn are clear, but there are changes like blast cone spawn timers and other small changes that go unnoticed.

I believe that the reason this has spiraled and blown up in the community is because (1/2) the state of top lane feels really really bad and (2/2) miscommunication (3/2) hashin is a clown (not entirely wrong). You’ve chosen to make very subtle minor nerfs and changes to help out laning and There very hard to notice. I know it wasn’t your intention, but the communication regarding the top lane has come off very condescending and more of a prove you wrong feel. The biggest complaint from top laners (including myself) is that they feel like nothing is being done and we’re just being ignored/kept out of the loop on how riots thinks these issues can be fixed and what’s being done.

Please use Meddlers explanation on Zoe changes as an amazing example of good dev insite into changes.

Thanks for your time!

They won't listen. Meddler wants to nerf or remove tp so top laners will have even less impact unless you are obviously... A tank. So don't expect to get a context of changes from them because they just want their precious bot lane and tanks to be relevant and no other role.

Empty promises. The game has been power creeped to an insane level and there is no fixing it without going through and massively nerfing multiple roles that are out of line. Buffs to top laners to power creep them up to the level of the other roles are not going to fix the issues with the game, it will just create more.

You do realize that communication takes time away from working, right? More importantly, Meddler and Maple might not have any definitive answers yet. They need to actually solve the problem of top lane before they can tell us.
