The Amount of Negative Threads Against Riot Hits Me in the Feels

TaoistMaster·Oct 25, 2015·26 votes·1,029 views

I love this game and I honestly get upset when I see so many threads being negative.

Riot isn't perfect. But neither is anyone. It is ok to express your points of view and disagreements with the balance team or game designers.

But being rude, using profanity, seeking out internet memes to support your childish behaviors.. just sickens me.

TLDR: Don't bite the hand that feeds.

Riot made a great game. However, in the time I've been here I've seen them ruin it little by little. They preach balance, yet only care about certain elos and only ranked teams. To truely balance they have to look at the playing not just on higher elos, but also lower elos. while one champion is weak in higher elos, they dominate lower elos for no reason and people get stuck where they shouldn't be, people start trolling, and etc etc. While I see the beauty of the game (and that's why I play) I do not agree with riot's poor descisions

That's not the point of the topic however, it even says that you can disagree with their changes. The point is that there's people who literally threaten to kill the designers because "they ruined my favourite item" and so on. You can express disagreement without being an utterly despicable piece of garbage about it.

The negative threads are understandable, the language is not.

On a completely off topic tangent, why the hell do people sign their posts when their username is already in the post title by default?

Why is he downvoted? It was a light joke...

Some people just have no sense of humor...

To draw more attention to themselves because their internet life > their real life.

You have to remember most of the guys complaining are bronzies who think they should be playing 1v1s with Faker and Smeb kek And for some reason, it's always about nerfing Yasuo and Riven lol People just need to grow up and realize the world doesn't want your excuses for why you can't win a game.

RIOT has shown they don't give a shit about the community many times, so we can cuss as we please to get their attention and our point across.

As a beta player, Riot is easily one of the most incompetent developers ever.

The reason they're bit is 100% pure luck. They had the right game, aimed at the right demographic, at exactly the right time. If League was launched today it would be laughed at for how many missing features it has

Replays were promised on game launch. That was 5 years ago. They changed their champion pricing schematic from "Hardest champions cost more" to "New champions cost more" the MOMENT they started getting popular. They changed their IP gain formula, so that players would earn less, then bold-face lied with incredibly misleading graphs designed to lie with numbers. They waited to nerf Pantheon until after his new skin launched. And of course they've been telling the community WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO WANT since the beginning.

I used to defend Riot to the death, they're a really sad company that doesn't deserve their success.

I was referring to the passive aggressive tone you used.

I'm sorry, why would Riot possibly care about forum popularity? About having people post threads praising them for being great? They're running a business. They care about making their customers happy, so having feedback helps them. They might ignore the customer's wishes for various reasons, so the recourse is to continuously complain in increasingly agitated tone until the company pays heed. The customer service people are professionals and are not phased by the tone of the feedback they get. They're not trying to be your friend, they're getting paid to deal with you.

That has nothing to do with my thread. I am just talking about being a non-shitty human being.
