the one thing that erks me about these forums above all else

"What brings you so deep into the Freljord?" asked Yago at last.

The question jolted Ryze back to reality. He quickly recalled the words he'd carefully prepared for this point in the conversation. He told a story of his days in Shurima. He'd gone to investigate a tribe of nomads that had swelled in wealth and land, to the size of a small kingdom, almost overnight. On closer inspection, Ryze found a World Rune in their possession. They resisted, and...

Ryze lowered his tone to suit the silence of the room. He explained that sometimes awful things must be done for the world to remain intact. Sometimes those awful things are better than the horrible cataclysm that would otherwise unfold.

"They must be kept safe" said Ryze, finally coming to his point. "All of them."

Yago nodded grimly, and the warmth that had been rekindled between the two friends instantly evaporated.

"You would take it from us, knowing it is all that keeps the trolls away?" asked Yago.

"You knew this would come" said Ryze, offering no solution. "You've known for years."

"Give us more time. In the spring, we will head south. What chance do we have in winter?"

"You've said those words before" Ryze said coldly.

To his surprise, Yago took him by the hands, making a gentle plea.

"There are many children among us. And three of our women are swollen with child. You would doom us all?" asked Yago desperately.

"How many are in this village?" asked Ryze.

"Ninety-two" replied Yago.

"And how many are in the world?"

Yago fell silent.

"It can wait no longer. Dark forces gather to take it. It leaves with me today" Ryze demanded.

"You would use it for yourself" accused Yago, erupting in a jealous rage.

ayways you get the picture.. i hate how is how people INSIST on IGNORING data they don't like.. for example

if one site has data for plat + (aka the top 8% of players) and another site has data for EVERY ELO. aka 100% of players)

they go .. "well i dont care about that data" thats not important so im going to ignore the fact that that is the data that effects more than 9 out of 10 people actaully playing this game"

they say "X" champion is fine" despite that fact there is clear and present data that proves otherwise on another site that they are ignoring.

i am tried of people having an "elitist attitude".

if you didnt get boosted.. then a high rank shows that you can carry with the champ you play.. and you play a LOT.

that does NOT automatically make you BETTER than everyone else. MANY players choose NOT to play ranked. many player don't CARE about ranked.

a a large portion of player don't have excessive amount of free time to play ranked.

if you let faker play one ranked game a week.. and placed him in bronze 5 .. he wouldn't reach gold by the end of a season..

even despite the fact he would likely win every single one... becuse there isnt enough time in a season to climb if u only play 1 ranked game per week

being a higher ranked shows you have the skill AND THE TIME.

not EVERYONE has the time.. and just because they have a lower rank does NOT mean "you are better than them" or "your elo" is "more important"

its NOT.

i see data and i weigh it accordingly.

we have 10 bans... if a champion becomes balanced for 98% of players... but in return becomes OP for the top 2%... THOSE TOP 2% CAN BAN IT.

do i like watching pro play? yes i do... lots of people do.

but if anyone gave me the choice between having pro play balanced or having my elo balanced.. i would pick my elo... as will almost anyone here..

i have already during season 5, took a 8 month leave from this game because riot decided they didnt give a damn about my champion. i have since come back. becuase riot seems to be getting better about their attitude about alienating portions of their player-base.

if you post data showing me that in plat + X isnt an issue. i say .. ok sure.. your right in plat plus it isnt an issue. but the other 9/10 players you're blantanly ignoreing.. it IS an issue with.

if i post data you have every right to contradict me with your own data.. but if your data shows your only looking at 8% of players.. and im looking at 100% of players... then.. i am going to choose whether "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or one faker"
