This is the last straw: I'm done

I really don't understand it. I've stuck with you Riot, through thick and thin. Through the crazy patches, nerfs to my favorite champions, buff to those who needed nerfs, the forum outcries and the haters. But it's at an end. I can no longer sit idly by and support your claims of balance and fairness when you think it's alright to do this.

Why? Did you go power mad when I wasn't looking? That's the only thing that can explain this, and it demands explanation.

item 3001 "TOTAL COST 2430 ⇒ 2450"

It's over Riot. Me and you, we're done. You think you can add 20 gold to this beautiful item and we won't notice? 20 gold!!?? What is that, like a minion wave? And that's assuming we can cs well. What about the players who can barely farm under tower? You don't think this will have an immediate impact in the game? Every lane will be pushed all the time to stop enemies from buying a scepter. I don't know what you're design department is doing, sitting around thinking of ways to ruin items I guess, but it's gotta stop. Don't go down this road.

20 gold is just too much during this economic crisis.

I think the funniest and yet scariest thing about this post is that I could see someone on the boards actually complaining about this and people would still upvote him for it.

I agree. They should at least buff the MR from 50 to 51.

Haha nice one. Was going to downvote instantly. but I read it and good laugh.

That isn't a minion wave. It's a single minion. Who has all that time to get one minion?

The better question is: why was it 2430 to begin with?

Americans are lucky, Abyssal costs 3300 Canadian gold now.

I see what you did there...

Of course the change to Abysal Scepter does actually illustrate what's wrong with Riot's balance team. First of all, they are trying to fix a problem that isn't actually a problem (lack of "clean numbers"). And second of all, they are actually nerfing an item that needs buffs (even if the nerfis very minor). They just aren't fixing problems anymore. They're creating them.

I thought this guy was gonna complain about actual balance things, but this, this is hilarious. Well done sir.

why are you getting mad at them if they just nerfed Riven and Fizz ?

Now when people wait for that extra bit of gold it will take longer and then they will lose cs more and eventually, the game. It's inevitable.
