Pyke is just busted now

I just want to know who was the guy that works at Riot Games and thought "lets give Pyke a cut every time he kills someone with ult" is a good idea ... What bothers me more is the fact that his colleges actually agreed to this ... Why is PBE server even a thing if you're going to release a broken sh*t on a live server, I mean at this point you could just shut down PBE and spend some money on improving your live servers, instead of having PBE for "testing" and still giving us bugy, broken bs every other patch.

At the end of the day, I kinda understand that they have no competition and that most of us have nothing to play except League (which they know), but at least don't make the game worse, and instead try to make it work properly [sg-janna]

EDIT: I saw this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDAQltuxF8U&feature=youtu.be

I guess this explains a lot, non of them actually play the game ... Jesus

this was his biggest problem and i even said this was a bad idea....now with just 3 ult uses i got an extra 2100 gold

They reworked Twisted Fate's passive and Draven's passive to throttle their gold income, got rid of or reworked Gold Income items like Heart of Gold and Philosopher's Stone, and even got rid of gold generating runes and masteries with Runes Reforged.

To say this design decision makes little to no sense is an understatement.

These people are not good at their jobs, get over it.

FTR PBE doesn't test balance. It can't, the population is too small. There would be almost no match data to draw from, and the matches that do happen have irons and challengers together. PBE is only for bug testing, and some bugs don't even show until a patch hits the much larger community of live servers as it is. You know how a lot of people are having a black screen bug that makes them restart their computers? That never happened on PBE. But there has been plenty of other crashes and such that were fixed before going live because of PBE.

It's actually a good thing that some/most/all of the balance team doesn't actually play the game. If they did, they would do a worse job.

As it is, however bad of a job we might say they do, they make their decisions based on objective data. If they were players, they'd start making decisions based on personal bias. Your complaint in this thread is the perception that Pyke is OP? Well imagine if all the people on the balance team played as Pyke, and performed poorly. They would get the idea in their heads that Pyke is under-powered, and buff him more. If they went on a win streak as Tryn or some other champion people are saying is under-powered these days, they would think the champion is OP and nerf it more. You don't want the balance team to be players, you want them to use data. And for the record, the words offered by us players as feedback isn't good data, because it's not objective.

U are right balance team should work on feedback but riot should have team of testers playing on clock and feeding data not how it works now they try one game with "well game load and dont crash we are clear to launch patch on live"
