Riot, TALK TO US

Photos of Ghosts·1/16/2017, 3:43:14 PM·50 votes·1,966 views

Why do you think it's ok to leave such long windows of silence on some issues?

Why is Riven not disabled? Why are Cait and Jayce not nerfed? Why doesn't Lee get his kit trimmed rather than simple number nerfs?

Why did you turn Viktor into a totes villain despite us telling you that was precisely what we didn't want? Why did you make Zac's parents die?

Why do you not slow down champion release and put more people on balance and small reworks? Why did you take away Karma's shieldbomb? Why do you not address the new player experience and the lack of new players?

Why do you not make a general champion movespeed pass, like you did for mana pools and regens when separating mages and supports? Why did you stop adding secondary scalings to new champs, if they're going to end up more imbalanced than the old double scaling champs anyway? Why don't you just remove autofill and give LP bonuses to supports?

I like how it's "Riot TALK TO US" while there are red posts daily here on boards and tons more on reddit where Rioters daily share their thoughts with the community while some other communities like Hearthstone are begging every day for devs to respond to their actual huge issues for months. We should consider ourselves lucky.

"Why do you think it's ok to leave such long windows of silence on some issues?"

"Rioter responds on their thoughts and ideas on the game, -100 downvotes. Community: Riot talk to us! I don't think they have much incentive to talk to use right now."

And the cycle continues.

The only reason given for removing Karma's shieldbomb is that they wanted to increase her "contextual decision making" by differentiating her Mantras. Which really just ruined her kit, see the steady stream of buffs she received up until 6.6 when they finally broke her. As a Karma main I believe Riot has a lot to answer for, they threw us under the bus when they took her most iconic spell away.

As a support main, bonus LP for supports would be a double-edged sword.

Yes, more people will play it. Some of them will still play Yasuo. Many of them will still not understand the role for a good period of time.

I'm not sure if that is the best way to fix the problem of the support player pool being shallow.

A lot of good questions asked here.

Maybe because they don't agree with this stuff, but the community will only listen to what it wants to hear?

Why wouldn't they ignore us... Haven't you every used /mute all? Think about why Now consider this You do it to ignore 9 toxics Riot does it to mute over 90,000,000 toxics.

Lee literally just had his kit trimmed, as his E no longer reveals invisible enemies. You people are unbelievable.

Why did you nerf Chogath a champion who was already subpar and turned him into literal garbage?

Riven wouldn't be disabled because that "cc cancel glitch" isn't a bug. She's still stunned mid dash just the dash is queued up before the CC and takes priority. This is a thing that happens with movement abilities vs forced movement abilities. Oh yeah nerf Jayce until you can properly balance his kit so it doesn't do the same thing over and over to get nerfed. Cait needs slight nerfs. Just buff the other AD carries and then adjust from there. Lee just needs a Q damage nerf and less base movement speed.

The boards aren't 100% of the league community. Also it is Riot's story so they do have the right to make the story how they want.

Because the balance team and design team are different groups of people. You can't just move people from one to the other since they work in different skills. Karma is already overtunned and has a lot in her kit. She's boring and a stat-check champion. Adding more would make her overloaded. Because most people who want to play league already play it. There's not at lot of people left who will be drawn into playing the game.

Not sure what this means. Just trying to stop unintended builds from happening. Riot happens to want champions to build a certain way and tries to force and balance around it. Because supports shouldn't get bonus LP when they, like everyone else, are 1/5th the team. Instead make the support role feel more attractive. Autofill should be removed.

Why don't you just remove autofill and give LP bonuses to supports?

This is the worst way to fix the problem, I can already see the whinning posts about another role not having bonus LP like jungle and bot or even Top for that matter.

Let's be realistic here: support roles in a multiplayer game will always be the less popular role because most people want to be seen/ or sometimes one role is more fun to play than the other (like Yasuo vs Soraka for example, who do you think is more fun to play and watch?).

All that Riot can do is to do some kind of support update eventually.

2BH I can't understand why large game companies don't dedicate a person solely to respond to players on forums.

Would make people feel much better, and it's not like it would need to be a high paying job to get someone to do it lol. Literally give someone access to information they need to respond to questions and pay someone to work from home 😂

Riven isn't the only one, shes just the scapegoat. Cuz Riven

I remember Jayce being considered garbage a few months ago. Where this new found hate for him came from is beyond me

They did trim lee, tempest no longer reveals stealth.

Victor They did and his story with HIS perspective will be out soon.

Zac thing is subjective, i see arguments on both sides.

You cant just take people from champ production and stick them on balance.
