Riot is avoiding admitting their mistakes.

Look at the red posts. How many have you seen about the current patch that gutted morde and veigar, as well as even more jungle nerfs? Probably none. They're just sitting there circlejerking about bard and skin concepts. They don't care about regular players, and their balance team is only working on the lcs side of balance. The nerfs on morde, veigar,and j4(even though he was too strong) over lee or zed prove this. Riot's posts and decisions about balance both point to them being greedy and all about the lcs.

Not sure how the changes on Morde are that bad, but ok.

Is Riot avoiding admitting their mistakes, or is it just your panties in a wad? Every time they nerf or otherwise change something, some kid comes crying "Oh you guys suck you don't know what you're doing!". If you think you know better, go work for them and fix it, or create your own MOBA and prove it.

Always someone tin foiling it up every patch, you're not exactly original here.

Do not equate activity from Reds in other teams as intentional subject changes and stop having selective memory. There are Red posts about these changes. Can there be more? Sure there can. Will there be more? Probably not, seeing as reds posting on Reddit and the Boards is all on their free time and they get harassed anytime they try to say something anyway. Most notably by people like yourself who refuse to believe that a change in playstyle is an inevitable nerf because you can't play X champ the exact same way as you did before.

You have to actually re-think you're approach to a champion! OH NO!

No change is going to be perfect right off the bat, the same goes with new champions. There will be follow up-changes to better tune these and the more drastic the change the more tuning will probably be needed. If you try to shut down any change at all then complain when no change happens (see attempted Lee Sin changes) then what the bloody hell do you expect??

They do talk about balance. They even discuss the balance complaints. But they can't be talking to the boards all the time. With the new champion and 5.4 coming out, they'll probably hold an AMA, ready to discuss everything up to this point.

If you think you know better, go work for them and fix it, or create your own MOBA and prove it.

Pretty crap argument. Are we as gamers not allowed to criticize the game we've played constantly? Is a brain surgeon unqualified to operate on his patients because he's never had a brain tumor?

It's not a matter of necessarily knowing better. It's about offering perspective. One thing Riot is not keen on. It's always THEIR WAY with things. The community never really influences nerfs or buffs. It's the progress that the game makes that influences these changes most of the time. Riot just chooses what to change.

They have admitted to mistakes all the time.

They already admitted the delay to Veigar stun was to long after getting the PBE data, but they couldn't change it in time for the shift to live.

If they "only work on the lcs side of balance" then why did they touch Morde? I know Veigar was seeing some high-profile support play because of his instant stun, but I don't recall Morde being on the pros' radar.
