Seriously, I love this game. I used to check the boards to see if I was the only one having problems against a champ or to see what kind of news I was missing, but all I ever see is "toon X is broken", "why Riot sucks", "Riot, why do you ignore us?", "why I'm finally uninstalling this game". Really became quite a killjoy. This game is FUN. It's the first MOBA I have ever played, and I love how much time and effort is put into the lore, into keeping the game feeling fresh, into keeping champions unique, into making you feel GOOD for the things you DO pay for without ever making you feel like you HAVE to pay for anything, and into keeping the game balanced across such a huge variety of skill levels. I have my rage-induced moments when a Zed kills my little Vel'Koz, or when a Kayle/Raka bot duo kill us under tower at level 3, but overall, the integrity of this company into making the best game that they can despite a sea of very vocal toxicity from their player base astounds me. Love you, Rito. Keep up the good work. :)

"The game is trash now!" Logs on every day.

"I don't have fun like I use to!" 10k games over 7 years I wonder why...

"X is op and has no counterplay." Downvotes anybody who offers suggestions and calls them retarded.

"Riot wtf u ruin everythng!?!" Never even tries to logic reasons for their decisions.

"Rito wtf favoritism!!!!?!?!" No it couldn't possibly be that your champion is unfair when strong while others are easy to balance.

"The game only gets worze s2 was best." Sure I like my supports as ward mules.

"Balancing gaem so ez." Go build a 300 card house of cards. Now try changing it constantly without it falling apart.

"It's their job!" Sure none of you ever slacked off at work or school.

I am so fed up with this community. Yes including many of the whiny ass well known boards members.

Today I posted a comment about how excited I was after a game, because I got a pentakill.

and someone said, "you posted just to talk about a pentakill?"

...

humans really suck.

I honestly don't understand why people hate Riot. Yea, they've made questionable decisions regarding the gameplay, but the company is so great with player/developer interaction in every other facet.

The reason people dislike the game even tho they love the game is because of the way Riot works the "Matching" system. (Yes, there are "champ" issues too). But a great portion of the hatred is due to "Matching Mechanics"

Riot does not seem to realize it is a statistical trap to mix successful players with losing players as a way to balance games. So instead of getting good players as a "strata" of Skill.... you get a bunch of golden players interspersed at different ranks with bad players in gold ranks etc.

When they stop mixing players at different ranks as a team comp, and do it instead as 1 for 1, it will help tremendously. So for example: If for example you have 5 players: 1 Gold + 2 Bronze + 2 silver should be VS 1 Gold + 2 Bronze + 2 silver AND NOT : 1 Gold + 2 Bronze + 2 silver VS 2 Golds and 3 Bronze.

They need to keep it as close as possible 1 player rank matched with another.

This would allow a Bronzie to play with another Gold and still maintain balance.

Additionally, Riot should not match people that quit frequently with people that don't quit frequently. It ruins the game for them.
