Tahm Kench is Copyright Infringement? Riot get rekt, plz #2
TL;dr: Riot is just as bad as corporations that seek to make money. They don't want to fix their game to which I even provide suggestions and feedback. Tahm Kench being a copyrighted character was just my last straw to me posting something voicing my views. Inspired characters and blatant ripoffs are two different things. In conclusion, #Dunk was right. Also, they said this doesn't count as Boards Feedback so the original got removed. MB.

ORIGINAL POST: Recently, I've decided to watch the Super Best Friends (http://superbestfriendsplay.com/) play Star Fox Adventures and I was curious about Krystal's outcome after the events of the game since I never played it and probably won't tbh. So I went to the starfox wiki and found THE ORIGINS TO THE DESIGN OF TAHM KENCH, it is literally just a recolor with different clothes to which I say:
Riot, you guys should be ashamed. Not only do you refuse to treat your gamers as humans, but you refuse to treat anything, with the exception of your dirty money making tactics (aka HUSTLE), with that amount of respect.
You fail to realize that your video game is a video game with your use of banning and reporting system to which their is no advancement in the investigation of who is actually the troll player and who is the upset human being that has a right to rage at another human being because THAT'S FREEDOM OF SPEECH! (also throwing this in there, you should really have players privately disclose their age for ranked mmr purposes so that we don't have to deal with that twelve year old scumbag kid who WILL be a scumbag every game and get people to rage at him for fun)
You fail to allocate funds in fixing your video game, making the ranked match making rating accurate so that you don't have 3 good players and 7 not as good (YES, I'M BEHIND VIDEOGAMEDUNKEY! AND COMPLETELY SUPPORTED HIM DURING THE ORDEAL CAUSE HE TELLS NO LIE!; INSTEAD you decide to put funds in making this futuristic world and create the project skins along with the whole Bilgewater Act hype and to what purpose??? MONEY????? Yea it's a passion to create such art, however, recently you have only shown an interest in flashiness and the amount of money you KNOW you will get. I understand that your game is free to play. But the moment people spend money on your video game for skins and what not, it stops becoming free. "Free to play" is a STATUS, it does not exclude you from expectations and treatment that should be met in video games made for PEOPLE, especially when they decide to spend money on your game because we feel that it is WORTH IT. We don't mind waiting and extra minute or 2 for good players that will help spawn a good game of League. It would help cut down the amount of toxic reports even cause we don't have that unevenness in skill and intellect that has kept every league player from climbing ranked. Cause we all had that one player who eventually points out your grammar and spelling because they kind of learned something in English class in highschool the other day, the reason these people resort to such tactics is cause they aren't bright and the ONLY THING they CAN point out is how well you can type while trying to be serious playing a ranked game.
You fail to even respect the designs of actual video game makers such as the concept maker of the 'Anglar Emperor' in 'Star Fox Command'. To which I am so happy I found out because yes.. I am out to destroy what Riot is currently. You deserve to be sued (don't care if it's actually possible). You should apologize to your gamers and especially to the Dunk who has done so much to promote your video game by choice without expectation, yea sure one could argue he's doing it for the youtube career money, but the difference between him and Riot is he cares about his fans despite how he treats people in your competitive game.
With all this said, you are taking our money and running with the excuse it's free to play and stripping away our human rights treating league like a private club when in actuality, IT IS A VIDEO GAME. It becomes an E-sport when someone hits that RANKED button and violations should only be recorded and accounted in that mode. You guys release short game modes releasing along with it icons and wards and you believe this should not be in access to all players all the time. Why would you not? More people would play your game with the variety that it brings! But if you think about it... If you did release these annual game modes as playable all the time game modes, you would lose the hype each brings and the limited available icons and skins that each comes with. So considering all this, you, RIOT, BELIEVES that you can milk the money out of our pockets like we're cattle slowly but not all at once. That is the loophole "free to play" games have.
We are HUMAN, not cattle, and you guys at Riot keeping the status quo, refusing to make innovations for the sake of the HUSTLE, you are sincerely bags of dog poop.
