You know what pisses me off the most about Riot?
The favoritism, the bias they have for certain champions and the blatant lies.
Why? Why lie they´re 'diversifying the meta' when Lee Sin has been god tier pick in the jungle since his release?
Remember the tank meta? When Sejuani and Sion actually existed? Remember when they nerfed both, then nerfed Cinderhulk, then buffed Lee Sin because, according to them, 'He needed some time on the spolight'?
Yeah, so do i.
Sej and Sion weren´t bringing in any money, that´s why, after their nerfs, without any compensation buffs, Lee Sin was back into every single damn match.
Why the hell does Yasuo blocks things that clearly aren´t projectiles but, in a clear and extreme demonstration of bad programming practices and incompetence are coded as such? Orianna's ball, Braum's ult, etc. When, they´re respectively, a unit and a fissure+knockup?
On a friendly reminder that Riot knows Nautilus' ult passes through windwall, and that in a few patches, it will most likely not go through it anymore.
Why the hell that now that Zed has fallen off meta slightly, and i mean slightly as in barely even noticeable, besides buffing him, they´re bringing in Assassin DFG?
Why is it that in every Stealth discussion, such mechanic is only toxic on Evelynn, who's amazingly weaker than Sona when, just a glance at 12/19 PBE update, there are Teemo Stealth buffs?
"But if Lee Sin is all that much, why was Elise picked in Worlds?"
Lemme answer that question with a question: Why do you think they´re changing the AP jungle item AGAIN? All Elise needs to 100-0 an ADC, fed or not, is Runeglaive, Liandry's and Rylai's.
"Meta Diversity?" What bloody meta diversity? 8 in every 10 matches has a Lee Sin. I don´t know about you people, but i don´t see any diversity there.
Also, i´m just going to say it right now. Wanna call me a noob for being Silver(I´m Silver 5 on my main back on the BR server)? Do so. Want to call me a 'No mechanic' player simply because i prefer to play Kayle and Shyvana? Do so. Honestly, i ran out of fucks to give about that. Because as far as i´m concerned, ranking is just that. Ranking. Knowing how a champion works has nothing to do with the fact of me knowing or not how to play it. Being Silver 5? Doesn´t make me someone who knows less about the game.
Don´t throw the winrate speech either. Low winrate and the existence of counterplay does not mean a champion is weak, balanced or even that it doesn´t have an overloaded kit.
Anyways, i´m sick of the lack of diversity. I´m sick of champions that are favored because of the extra money they bring through the famous 'LC$B1GPL4Y$'. I´m sick of champions who get nerfed to oblivion patch after patch simply because you people at Riot don´t like them.
You want to prove you bring Meta diversity?
Gut 40% of Lee Sin's kit. Re-code certain skill shots, targeted abilities, among others to be able to pass through Yasuo's Windwall.
Is there a chance the mains of those to turn into mains-bomb and blow up Riot's HQ? Yes. But at least the existence of diversity would´ve been proven. Riot's already been bought by Tencent and even before was already rich as hell. Stop making money a priority and make it a reward for a job well done, something you haven´t shown since pre-season 5 and even before that.
I´m speaking of mainly Lee Sin and Yasuo because they´re the most severe cases, but there are many more who suffer the same issue.
Evelynn's Perma-stealth and Trundle's winrate should be at the bottom of Riot's priority list. In fact, they shouldn´t even BE a priority.
These talks about 'We don´t favor any champion', 'We bring meta diversity' and 'We don´t hate any champion' are old, overused and blatant lies.
And because of that, Riot, you have failed as a developer. And as long as you continue to follow down that path, as long as you lack meta diversity evidence, as long as you continue to favor part of product simply because it brings more money, you will continue to fail as a developer.
Just my two cents. Upvote/Downvote to your heart's content. But this should´ve been said a long time ago.
would like to see YOUR international corperation!
barrel system.
I can do like a third of the ADC's health with all damage items
?
and just hit the carry with a Q-W-AA
