Riot - Incompetent Designers protected by a Cloud of Hubris Followers

I used to play league... I don't anymore. It seems that Riot are going down the road of pandering to children and babies. They have removed most of the adult references in the game, make champion like Alistar even easier, adopted a terrible art style, caused massive imbalances and forced Dynamic Q and a system were if you sware you get a "Ummmm... I'm telling" playground attitude from each and every player in the game. It is just disgusting.

Riot says they want League to become a generational thing... don't be so delusional. Your game has massive problems now and living in a cloud of hubris won't change that. The arrogance of the developers is just astounding. The things you can get punished for in this game are rediculous compared to ANY OTHER GAME IN THE WORLD. Yes, even the most toxic Call of Duty does not have a punishment system as Nazi based as Riot.

People play things and champions that are completely broken or ultimately completely unfair and Riot expects nobody to complain about it? That is really amusing because if the developers were not completely incompetent in the first place, this would not be an issue. Riot consistently ignore their playerbase and wonder why they are losing people every day now? Nobody wants this Nazi ban system that feels like you are living under a police state where freedom of speech is denied.

This community is still the most rude, toxic, abuse, horrible, selfish, arrogant in the world and just because they don't say it anymore, doesn't change that fact. Riot as a company has their heads in the clouds completely, punishing innocent players for what they say rather then actually FIXING the massive design flaws that they put in the game. Assassins are building tank items and getting away with it because of BAD DESIGN, no other reason.

Of course, there will be people in the community that will blindly follow their lord and savior Riot and be sheeple but you know its funny, because that is exactly how the Nazi's got into power in 1933 because nobody will stand up and challenge what Riot are doing or organise a boycott until they actually change their ways. Riot think they can abuse their community for cash and its disgusting.

Well Riot, I'm from the United Kingdom and we don't deal with American Oppression very well. I will never bow to you as a company so I am taking my leave. You and your sympathises disgust me because you are everything that made the Nazi party in Germany so bad, you suppress people's free will, choices and expression and I cannot live with this game any longer.

I really hope that I will one day see Riot fall from its pedastal and have only themselves to blame.

Yup, usual click of Riot lovers... its sickening how predictable this community is and strangly pathetic as well.

Lmao just because he compared them to the nazi in some non literal way the sheeps had to come and downvote, kinda ironic how the downvotes prove the OP point though.

if Riot screws up, leads the game down a bad decision-making road and kills the game, then that will be their problem and hopefully it will be something that they can/will learn from. I'm pretty sure they've seen this type of thread many times before too.

If you don't play league any more, why bother coming to the boards and posting then?

I love how you use Call of Duty as a comparison, because when I last played it, there wasn't any type of punishment system when it came to verbal abuse, since it's all voice chat. So unless they record all the conversations, there is no way to every prove anything. As far as Riot's banning system, it takes quite a bit for a ban unless it's hate speech or death threats, and simply swearing is rarely punished from what I've seen and heard.

As for this: "Riot as a company has their heads in the clouds completely, punishing innocent players for what they say rather then actually FIXING the massive design flaws that they put in the game. Assassins are building tank items and getting away with it because of BAD DESIGN, no other reason", yes, because the team that handles the punishments is totally the exact same team that does the in-game balance. /s

Strong words, but I agree with the sentiment behind them for the most part.

I don't think there is anything very special about the League community, nor do I think it is particularly toxic.

I do think Riot's policies encourage/empower a certain type of person, especially in the mid/lower ranks. Instead of policies that encourage a focus on gameplay, you've got people who are more concerned with "beating" both their teammates and opponents (especially if they are struggling with the game) by getting them to do or say something they can threaten or report.

You actually had some decent points about Riot ignoring their community but you completely ruined it by comparing them to the Nazi party and saying they were infringing upon your freedom of speech. Now you just sound like a melodramatic teenager, which is why you're probably getting downvoted.

Enjoy being facef*cked with no counter play to champions that have point and click nuke spells? Enjoy losing to bad players that miss 90% of their skillshots while killing you by hitting the last 10%? Enjoy having no map vision while the 18-0 enemy bot lane is cruising through your jungle? Like seeing 100% of your health disappear in 0.5seconds?

Then this is the game for you! Come play league of burst, where skill doesn't matter but the right champion picks do!

I would give the designers a pass every now and then if the balance team reigned in their abominations from time to time. It just doesn't happen, and often it feels like the situation is simply exacerbated by the endless cycle of often unnecessary buffs and nerfs.
