Riot's Round Table sessions are full of lies.

Can confirm. Saw the red notification, saw the title, got excited.

Read comment, rolled my eyes.

Logged in to comment this.... It is insane how I know everytime they reply it will NEVER (at least on nothing I care about) be a serious comment.

1.) I can tell you're passionate about what you're saying, so I'm not going to badmouth you.

2.) I just want to give you a bit of perspective.

Since this is the meme and games board, any rioter that posts here shouldn't really be required to answer certain questions that isn't M&G related. Especially if their job description has nothing to do with the boards or M&G in general (and if it did have M&G in the details, then I'd be damned.

Anyways, keep in mind that you are speaking with humans, and most of them would possibly feel overwhelmed by what you just typed right after they posted in a thread for fun. That fun most likely being during their off time or break before having to dive right back into work. (After all, his job isn't 24/7 answer questions on the board.)

Right now, this kind of response would make me--as a rioter--hesitant to post within the boards, purely because they would get assaulted or blind-sighted from posts/questions/concerns that they probably can't directly answer themselves, or, even worse, answer the question incorrectly and cause mayhem (RIP Riot Opeli)

But all-in-all, I think your best shot with getting a rioter response with what you typed is making your own thread for it. I know that not every thread gets a red response, but reading your post seems like one they can and will (apologetically) respond to. Your post doesn't outright attack anyone. You're voicing a concern in a detailed way, and it can be built upon in a not-so-negative discussion. I know that, if your post was lore related, you would definitely pull the attention of Riot Jaredan since he is a jovial person who doesn't mind speaking with folks from time to time. Bioluminescence is also a good example of one (though he often give disclaimers that he lacks the ability or full knowledge of most concerns people have on the board).

Just try to post your concern as a thread in one of the forums you think it might be relevant. Just be careful of directly quoting rioters because not all of them can do an immediate, rapid-fire response to detailed questions. (I can only respond like this purely because it wasn't directed towards me from out of left field, or else I would be taking 2-3 days to figure out the best way to say "Oh..." in order to not offend you.)

I am responding to you for two reasons:

1. You seem like a reasonable person.
2. Your comment is perfectly exemplary of one that should make me laugh, but instead just makes me sigh.

Rioter's leaving humorous responses (like this) on threads is a good thing. It shows that you are real people with the regular gambit of emotions and expressions, so thank you for helping to reinforce that.

What is not good is when it is damn near impossible to find a serious Riot response on any thread that wasn't started by Riot in the first place. For example, if you look at the Boards right now and sort by "HOT" (the usual setting if you want to know about relevant conversations that are new) you will find 50 discussions. Of those 50 there are currently 2 with Riot responses. One of those is this thread with your jovial response, and the other is a thread with suggestions for the Shaco backstab mechanic. That thread has 2 serious responses from Meddler. At the time of my writing this, these 50 posts have a combined 2805 comments from players. That is a ratio of 935 to 1 of Community comments to Riot comments. A big part of Riot's most recent announcement was that they admit they have done a terrible job communicating with the community. I wholeheartedly believe that Riot needs to improve it's presence on the boards, preferable with at minimum one full time employee who's job is to respond to people on the boards all day, every day. It is very sad to see so many great ideas, solutions, thoughts, feelings, experiences, etc. being ignored day in and day out.

To be extra specially clear, I think it is not only good, but necessary, for Rioter's to sometimes have a jovial and joking tone when posting on the boards. It helps to reinforce that you are gamers with a love of LOL just like us. HOWEVER this must also be accompanied by a high volume of Riot-community participation on all subjects (balance, bugfix, suggestions, cosplay, etc.) When practically all the Riot responses you see are merely jokes, it gives the impression that nothing else is worth responding to, because nothing else is worth thinking about/considering. As a result when I see responses like yours, instead of laughing and smiling like I should, I am much more likely to sigh. There are so many topics brought up by the community that demand serious thought and consideration, yet as far as we know they are all simply ignored. Because of the lack of Riot responses in other areas, remarks like yours end up coming off as patronizing and condescending, instead of with the intended lighthearted humor.

Aaaaaand they stop replying now. Typical.

Because people are too stupid to realize that not every Rioter is responsible for the changes and they're still just employees.

Riot will never openly say this but ... they answered all your questions, you just don't like the answers (admittedly, some of them amount to "we don't know/can't tell yet", which are still answers).

good meme, good meme

Isn't it ok for a person who has a riot tag to make a joke in memes and games, though I don't know/think this rioter is in the dynamic que team.

Yeah, things suck, but at least try to have a laugh.

I laughed. But not with them; I laughed at them.

It would be nice to see a MMO like World of Warcraft (during it's prime) to become popular again with there being less competition due to League's decline.
