Why are we complaining?

I've just been reading the posts, and there's SO much about "Mobile champs OP", or "GG Viegar, nice knowing you"... You guys, it's not the end of the world - Viegar is still that hyper-snowball champion I fear late game because he has 1200AP or something ridiculous, and Lee Sin or Zed or Rek'Sai, and every other really mobile champion add up to, what, like 20 or 30? Of the 120-something we have to choose? There's more than enough champions with the ability to counter super mobile champs... One I can think of right off the bat is Warwick - He can suppress a fleeing or ganking champ, catch up to them with his E, and if they want to melt his health, a couple Q's with a good build get him right back up to fighting again.

The world of League of Legends is not crumbling because of a few things Riot is focusing on... We don't need to nerf Lee Sin and Zed out of play because their kit counters the kit of your champ. It's a video game, meant to be fun for players and game developers alike. I main Vel'Koz - I bring Flash, and when I get ganked, I retreat to my tower where I can have a better chance of landing a couple abilities. I'm only a level 19, sure, but I still love the game and I love playing against champions who I have trouble with - I want a challenge sometimes.

Riot, as a note to you and your board moderators; Thank you. League of Legends has it's problems, but there's nothing in the world that's perfect, and a lot of the issues I see are just unhappy Summoners who don't like the fact their favorite champ has a counter. The diversity in the characters, play style, and the builds make League unique, and I can tell you I'll be sticking around for years to come - through the nerfs, buff, and "over powered" champions.

People are mad because Veigar was supposed to be COMPENSATED for DFG removal, not nerfed -_-

People just feel that Riot ignores them, but if they listened to everything we said and implemented it, no one would ever be satisfied since everyone is just changing what THEY don't like and not what everyone else likes.

If you're new (I see you're still leveling your account), welcome! This sort of thing happens every update, but if you're just tuning in to Boards this is a particularly bad time, lol. Honestly I've played Veigar on PBE and he isn't too bad, I'm hoping they still tweak some stuff around but people overdramatize everything on these Boards.

People on these boards are always screaming Bloody Mary. 90% of the time they're totally off base too. Sometimes they're not, but lately it's been out of control. If Riot did what the people on boards wanted to happen, all of the time, League would be a piss poor game to play.

Let's talk about it once you've been here long enough to get tired of the same 20 champions coming back to the spotlight in an endless cycle of nerfs to every other champion but the chosen ones

Btw, from the original 40 champions, only maybe 10 could be described as mobile and their level of mobility is (aside form Kassadin's) laughable compared to the level of mobility champions have now.

Now we have champions whose sole existence completely invalidates entire sub-classes of champions and yet Riot continues to create MORE champions like this. That's why people are complaining. They don't complain because Ahri and Zed beat Brand. They complain because they beat Anivia, Annie, Brand, Heimer, Karma, Karthus, Lux, Malzahar, Mordekaiser, Morgana, Orianna, Swain, Syndra, Twisted Fate, Vel'Koz, Ziggs and Zyra to varying degrees. In fact, some of those mages have been completely ousted from mid lane by the hyper mobile champions and have turned to top or bottom lane to find some purpose.

People complain because if you enjoy champions who are not favored by the gods of mobility, you're screwed. Tanks are completely invalidated by bruisers, immobile ad carries need a complete team built around them to be viable, immobile mages are a liability to their team... Honestly, if you had played the game in the past, you would know how wrong it is now.

Riot needs to be told when they're doing something wrong.

HERE HERE!! Upvoted. If I had pie I'd offer you some.

League is in better shape than it has ever been. I don't play as much as I used to, but since 2012 I've played well over 1000 games. Riot has more than proven they know what they are doing. Their talent pool is much better than it used to be. Also, last years batch of new champs were amazing.

Yes, including Kalista and Rek'Sai.

STOP MAKING SENSE! YOU MAY GET DOWNVOTED WITHOUT REASON!

People complain because they want improvements for their game. I don't see it as something negative, I see it as belief that the game can improve. I also don't like reducing it to "that guy's only complaining because he wants his favorite champ to be the best" - some players really do think the game as a whole can be improved, and argue for the changes that they believe would bring that about.

Good post 10/10. Keep leveling and enjoying the game, friend!

Of the 120-something we have to choose?

The problem is precisely that you are unable to play 100 champions because they have no chance against the 30 champions with extreme mobility.
