So Riot, why don't you listen?

Why don't you?

  • Illaoi was fine, even strong, but then you buffed her into absurdity -- and now I expect her to be nerfed. We told you it was a bad idea, we told you that she was fine, but you chose to ignore us, the people who actually play the game.

  • Poppy was a little strong, but instead of listening to people who actually play her (and know how to nerf her without hurting her identity or fun factor), you just go with some kneejerk change based on numbers.

  • We told you that Swain was stupidly strong with his buffs, but you ignored us and did it anyway -- and now you're drastically nerfing him.

  • We told you that the new champ select was awesome, but that dynamic queue was a stupid system. But you just ignored us, and even lied to us, and went along with it anyway.

  • We warned you about Triforce making Irelia and Jax absurdly strong, we told you to look at them when you change it. But you just ignored us again, and went along with whatever it was you were doing.

Just a few examples.


My question is: Why don't you just listen to the people who actually play the game? Ask people who have hundreds of games on a champion how you could nerf / buff them fairly and appropriately. Ask them what they feel the strengths and weaknesses of a champ are. Don't just look at some numbers, stick your head up your ass, and pull some change out. Research the issue, research solutions, and talk to people who actually play the game. Put a little fucking passion into your work (well, actually, I know you don't have any. You just want money, so that's a moot point).

So, what is it? Are you just making good F2P changes for the better of Tencent? Are you just that dense? Are you arrogant pricks who refuse to listen to anyone but themselves? I'd love to know the answer.

Who is "we" ? Afaik majority agreed that illaoi is weak, shit , easily countered and in need of buffs. Even after buffs she is still easily countered and useless like most juggernauts

As for poppy i played old poppy and miss her so no comment on that.

Swain neefed buffs but was overbuffed

Silent majority likes both dynamic and new champ select

Triforce buff is good, its finally brought to its intended purpose

Tencent and nothing to do with this. That's all I'm going to say.
