I feel like this needs a huge disclaimer along the lines of

This suggestion was accepted by Riot because A) It made sense for the game. Riot determined independently that Randuin's needed a buff, and this suggestion fit the bill. And B) It was an easy change that required minimal work (no art, no scripting changes, just playtesting and QA)

Even though "Riot listens" to many of the community's suggestions, that does not mean they will agree with every suggestion, nor does it mean they will have the time to implement every "good" suggestion.

Even balance changes take lots of time for internal testing. Not to mention such things as art and VFX changes.

There is a difference between listening and obeying.

I'm starting this new mini series every week to show that riot does have some love for board posts and does listen (at times :c) about some of our recommendations.

Here's some ideas for you: URF Smurfs Failed champ reworks (ex. Malz, Aatrox, Sej, Morde, etc.) Mordekaiser bugs Death Recaps

(I am being very sarcastic)

aatrox being failed rework?

Joseraph1 votes

Aatrox's rework was great, people play him now. I've never seen a complaint about Sejuani, Morde's rework was yes a fucking disaster, but they at least made him a decent top/mid/jungle again(Still Buggy). Malz is a mid leaner now, and plays closer to old Malz ,and Riot has at least come out and said that their class updates are shit, a thing of the past now, and have been steadily mini-reworking champions correctly, URF sucks.

I've seen about 1 Aatrox in my last 50 games and that was my duo trying him out. Malz is only a mid laner after a failed rework and like 5 balance changes, only before somewhat reverting him. And death recaps?

Joseraph1 votes

Aatrox's winrate is higher than it has been in a year, and his playrate albeit low is climbing for the first time since his release. Malz is still a mid laner now, and after his rework he only had to have any of his abilities fundamentally changed twice. Riot is probably working on waning death recap off of LSD. (I personally have never seen anything too strange with it though. Then again, I don't die)

Lol, I guess you're lucky then. I've gotten killed by 146 damage from a item 3087 from a Zac who didn't even have one.

If Riot listened then where are URF, Hexakill, and One For All to get me through the mid season slump? I've never seen so many posts asking a company for something, and have them be given bullshit excuses or ignored altogether.

Because not all ideas are good ideas. Riot simply has the opinion, like some of the boards players (me inlcuded) that urf and one for all get stale really quickly and game modes that allow you to pick your own champion offer much more in terms of game play.

But you're the minority. You can hate URF, but for every one person who loves poros, there are 20 who prefer URF. You argue that it gets stale quickly, but compared to what? We are playing a game that is built primarily around one single map, with the same champs picked/banned in ranked in the majority of games. Our next featured game mode is a 3v3 with 6 of the same champion, on a map that's small enough to side to side my monitor.

You argued that it gets stale because you can't pick your champs in URF. That sounds more like AR URF. In URF, you do pick your own champions. In Hexakill you do pick your own champions. One for all is fun, because it's a majority rules decision, which adds a fresh and fun element to the game, as opposed to all random or "ban Cait, or pick her, but do one of them".

You don't have the stats to back you up, and honestly, why do you think Riot would do the thing that wouldn't get them the most money?

The thing is, URF has a fanatical fanbase among some of the more devoted players (not all of them), but casuals (Who by far make up a majority of the population btw) don't give a shit about it, but they LOVE Poro King or Ascension because they turn the game far more casual than what the game is by default.

Bob the Toastr2 votes

And you don't have stats to back that up either. Don't be hypocritical.

Steelflame2 votes

I'll trust the rioters who have said as such, as my first point stands on this matter regardless. Why would they do anything that hurts their bottom line for no reason?

riot said it has to do some coding shit to get some of the gamemodes to work in the new client.

Joseraph1 votes

URF and ARURF both get stale after a few games regardless of whether or not you get to pick

In URF; There are maybe fifteen to twenty champs you'll see at least three of in every game who are IMPOSSIBLE to play against, because of tier-whoring people who don't know how to have fun. I'm talking Sona, Jhin, Teemo, Maokai(Who's probably worse now with his new sapling toss} Shaco, Ryze, Riven, Pantheon, Wukong, Karthus, AP Nasus, Blitz and Ali together(probably worse now than Ali got a stun too), etc.

A shit load of champions that are barely played because one or two people actually say "Hey, maybe 'X' champion would be fun to play in URF!" Only to get fucked by permastealth Wukong.

A bunch of champions that are completely unplayable garbage because CDR isn't that great on them. Champions like Yasuo, Aatrox, and most adcs.

ARURF didn't make this much better because the "RNG" picked mostly the same champions every game, and if your team got a shit tier like Yasuo, or the enemy got a god tier like Karthus, you were fucked.

Hexakill and One For All are great though

i'm pretty sure riot is working on getting one for all transfered to the new client, otherwise they have much bigger things to worry about than making sure you are always entertained

I would also like to add that adding grounded to Singed's w was suggested back when the Cass rework was leaked on the pbe and acknowledged at the time.

Dataless1 votes

It's ironic, because Randuins used to build out of a Giant's Belt originally.....

My thoughts exactly lol. This is what we call a good idea fairy and someone at Riot had one when making that change.
