A Legitimate Thank You to Riot
I feel like Boards tends a bit too much towards pointing out every little thing Riot does wrong, and never gives them credit for things they do right. This is just a little example I found recently that I thought was worth note.
As you may or may not know, there was some dislike for the name "Blood Rage" on Darius's new passive, because it didn't fit his theme of "strong, deliberate, controlled executioner". There was a post on the boards that stayed on the front page for quite a while about this. In the post, the author made a suggestion to change the name from "Blood Rage" to "Noxian Might", in hopes of better fitting Darius' character.
A week or so later, this pops up on the PBE:
Hemorrhage [ Passive ]
The passive bonus damage on 5 bleed stacks has been renamed from “Blood Rage” to “Noxian Might.
I'd just like to give a shout out to whoever saw the post and actually cared enough to go through and make the change happen. It always feels great when changes are made that prove Riot can, in fact, listen to and work with the community. Thanks, guys!
