Can we get a priority list started?

Edit: I suppose the title to my poll is a little misleading. A company can work on multiple things at once, but labor allocations can change. The question I'm posing is where we, the community, feel Riot's primary focus should be.

I'm trolling around on the forums, and coming upon all these suggestions with what Riot should do next. A skin for this champ! Remake that champ! Undo your item changes! Give us more item changes! I'm looking for a community consensus on what we feel should happen to this game as soon as possible.

Explained:

  • `1. **Server/security fixes: **Muster the manpower or tech help to get Riot's servers to either perform better, or be better secured against these software attacks, to help alleviate the growing AFK/DC problem.
  • `2. Full champion reworks: Things like Sion, Urgot, Teemo, etc... The characters who are so out of place, or so unanimously hated by the community, that they need a total overhaul.
  • `3. Partial champion reworks: Those champs like Kayle, Darius, Fiora, etc... that need/are getting some power redistribution or slight ability changes, keeping them in their roles and flavor, but still changing them.
  • `6. **Item reworks: **Total reworks of items that no one seems to use, such as Frozen Mallet, Zeke's Herald, Executioner's Calling, etc...
  • `10 Jungle Changes: Things like changing the jungle meta through jungle camp changes (health, damage, etc...) or jungle items.

Are these mutually exclusive? I was of the impression that all of these issues are being handled by independent groups of Rioters.

Labor allocations on things like this don't really change. Game Designers can't fix server issues, and Animators typically don't draw concept art for what the new champion might look like.

To my knowledge, we're hiring pretty much everywhere, and everyone's doing jobs in their areas of expertise. It's not like we're like, "You know what? Let's not hire any more network engineers, the internet is perfect." So while the effort is certainly nice here, I'm not sure it'll mean much. We're working on pretty much all the stuff in your poll right now.

Outside of actually keeping the servers running and secure I feel reworks and remakes should be the top priority.

Though I to this day don't understand why everyone hates teemo.
