Pretty much sums every encounter I've had with riot

"We see you have a problem there! Why don't you go add it to the forums where it will never be seen or commented on by any riot employee! Lost in the story bucket that is the boards beta of league of legends"

"Let us know if there's anything more we can help you with! lol!!11 xD"

I just calls em as I sees em. I wouldn't criticize if it wasn't so blatantly true. (of course, you could always prove me wrong, by saying -anything-)

Literally all you guys have to do is make an auto-response pallet and go through everyone's thread using this comment or that, saying "we know about this problem, we're working diligently to fix it", or "hmm, we're stumped on this one, if the issue happens again, send us another complaint and we'll investigate further, because we know that making the effort to fix one persons problem will allow us in the future to fix that problem for everyone else"
By doing this, it lets people know that you at least SAW and READ their post, and that you guys are doing SOMETHING.

But you guys can't even do that. You don't say anything, because literally the player-base isn't worth your time to consider problems and issues with the game. All you care about are a select few reoccurring problems that are simple and easy to fix because you've done it a thousand times before. And then when you fix those simple and easy problems, you guys try to act like you did something special.

But hey, as long as you make that TINY little effort, people will stay right? Because they just think you guys are incompetent, but that really you do try! Because you fixed one tiny little problem that you've done a thousand times already. Good for you riot!! Good job! We're so proud!

And then you guys say (to yourselves, not to the player-base...duh) "Uh oh, looks like we've been found out! Heheh, it's so true! We don't care! But no one will ever know, because if we remain silent, they'll never know any better! xD"

And well... that pretty much sums up how the world works. Pretty sad.

So many things aren't done because so many people are lazy and want others to think that their 'best effort' is just barely completing the minimum requirements, when in all actuality, they're just faking incompetence so they can be lazy. And no one will know any better because only they can expose themselves, and they can only do that by speaking up about it. But why do that when they have it so good not having to do anything at all. Not challenging themselves. Who cares about disappointing people? They'll get over it anyways. Oh, they didn't get over it? Not my problem, that's someone else's.

Thanks for whoever gave me an upvote after someone downvoted me.

I feel...acknowledged :3

So you guys know. A downvote doesn't change the truthfulness of reality.

You can suck up to riot all you want, you can say 'oh what you said is just mean' all you want, you can refuse to place blame on riot all you want, or try to defend them (which is really just sucking up)

But if riot really cared, why haven't they said something?

Literally all they have to do to get me to stop ranting is to say "Hey, we disagree, sorry you haven't been having the best time on our game, but please be more patient" or anything...

But guess what, they probably won't because they likely don't care.

I've been posting this type of shit for like 3 years, I called this shit happening in like 2012 on the old GD boards. They've achieved complete control over the Moba market, they are the pinnacle of Moba's, their popular won't dip unless the consumer wants it to.

It's not that I don't know why my comments have no affect on the player-base (haters gonna hate, kiss-asses gonna kiss-ass, and everyone with similar issues is gonna agree)

I'm not really just complaining about riot though...I have a vendetta against the world that we live in for allowing problems to persist out of neglect/laziness/convenience... because, one problem leads to another (the butterfly effect) and I believe that to be the root of 90%+ of our worlds social issues, and many physical issues as well.

*(note: 'The world we live in' also consists of the riot team and the league player-base. People of any community are still representative, and highly similar to every other community in the world with regards to emotional/social matters. And what better place to try to practice world peace than this toxic-neglected community! - [a hint of optimism, yes]) *

So when I get upset/angry, rather than kicking my cat or doing something violent, I go to the very root of problems and make a huge scene using words. Eventually people are going to wake up and realize that nothing can be taken at face value. I'm just trying to coax it along

Who said we cared if they cared? Who said Riot made sense? Who said Riot was nice?

Honestly, you'd think they must have 1 employee that runs all of the boards. You'd think there must be like 15 people working for riot total for the lack of responsiveness. Minimum wage jobs don't really give incentive to care, I guess

I went through all of the posts in the past 8 hours, all of the ones that had comments...and not one comment was by a riot employee. 8 hours of threads. not one riot comment.

Golly, maybe tomorrow I'll go back as far as it takes to find a riot employee comment!

It is almost as though the Riot employees who have the knowledge to answer these questions are... you know... working. If they spent their time answering threads on the Boards, they wouldn't have the time to work.

Working on what? :-P

You know they have dedicated teams for every aspect surrounding the game, right?

They have people dedicated to player support, they have people dedicated to development, they have people dedicated to upkeep, they have people who moderate the forums etc.

It's someones job to go through the forums and check and read posts all day. You didn't actually think the boards was created freelance by some player, did you? So what if the development crew is working diligently on fixing some bug? They don't have to be the ones to post on the forums, it's someone else's job to do that. All they have to do is communicate with the other branches of riot and receive reports of status now and then. It only takes 10 seconds to say "Yah, we noticed that bug, we're working on it", or "No, we think this skin is more important right now, granted the deadline is 3 days from now". There's plenty of time.

Believe it or not, some people are actually paid just to post stuff on twitter!

The answer people receive isn't always the answer they want to hear...but any answer at all is better than being left completely in the dark with nothing to go by.

And so you know, if riot doesn't actually intend on viewing and commenting on peoples issues with the game on these forums, then they shouldn't lead people on to think they will in every single support-request ticket. Hence the meme
