Riot does not care about you!

I am sorry, but the title is correct. Riot, you do not care about your players. You try to mask it well, I will definitely give you credit for that. Revamps to the UI, store, currency, skins, etc. But, it is very obvious that you do not care about your players. Especially your veterans. I am an alpha player. Yes I still play, but take a look at what I play and my play history. There is a purpose to that. Also, since you can see all for my account, go take a look at the last skin or RP purchase I made. I will absolutely never make another RP purchase again. The blue essence system is a joke and the conversion to it was even worse. Especially for veteran players. New players, sure they benefit from it. You should go take a look at what Blizzard did with HotS. Veterans got quite a lot from their recent revamp. I bought a ton of stuff. "Buy this skins! It's a limited edition and will never be sold again!!!" They are all for sale again and all it have is a stupid watermark in the loading screen. Ok, with that aside (forgetting the fact that they were sold under false pretenses) oh you pushed rune/mastery pages for RP as well. What did I get for being a sucker? Blue essence!!!!! Holy crap, I had 110k at the launch of your revamp. What can I spend it on? Oh, nothing.....wow thanks. No refund for RP when you baited us into a purchase for a finished product. And for anyone wanting to say, "Oh it's not finished! The game is always evolving!", Ya well its not in a alpha/beta anymore so yes it is finished. I have been apart of the game since almost its conception (alpha tester). I brought players into the game, that still are. They invited even more. Many of my friends are alpha/beta players. You have literally shit on every veteran player that has bought anything from you. You cater to the "new" player to cash in on more purchases and do not care at all about your veterans. Anyone buying anything, just a warning to you all. Anything labeled as limited or "buy this now or never again" it is an absolute hoax from Riot. I have never been banned or warned, although I expect one from this. I am currently sitting here farming chests and champion capsules. Oh, I will use there servers and get everything for free from now on and milk this game for what it is. Scrap every skin shard and get them for free now. Your last update with the essence change was a complete slap in the face to everyone that had ever paid into the game. "Oh you can buy champions?" What champion? They stalled out their release schedule because they finally realized that they were releasing them too often as per feedback from the forums. "they will release new game modes!" BWAHAHAHAHA! Yes and they promised a 10v10 map YEARS ago that they later cancelled. If you believe anything this company told you, than you gave them too much credit. Riot (aka Tencent) is nothing but lies and will do ANYTHING for your money. Nexus Blitz was a blast, yes it was a beta, but shit it was way more fun than the boring Odyssey. Talk about a snore fest just to push more skins. How bad are you hurting for money? You got bought out for $400 million. You were a full fledged game with popularity and money flowing in, yet you let a company that only cares about money buy you out. LMAO! Even without that, you were still slated to make a fortune with this game. Yes and still the only game that isn't pay to win while still remaining profitable. So many posts and videos about "what will be the death of LoL?!" You know what it is? YOU! And how you treat your players. Should anyone come out with a game in the genre that is remotely competitive but cares for it's players, that will be your trouble. The BR genre explosion was a savior for you as it took the attention off of LoL and your business practices. Oh and before any GM wants to get ban hammer happy, go check my support tickets. It was recommended I post on the forums by your staff and this is a far nicer version of what I told the company. So well, you have your post now! lol

TLDR : don't give Riot any money. They don't care about you and nothing you pay for has any value EVER. (oh yeah, I could have sold the account for quite a lot of money as well before you made changes but I didn't care about making money off a game I enjoyed.)
