So I finally caught one of those surveys...

And I couldn't make it past the second question without hitting an infinite loop. And the reason for that is that I'm unranked, not because I don't want to play ranked, but because I just don't have the time to dedicate to the game with how my life is going. Or in other words "No, but I'd like to someday" Now the thing is, quality control makes sense, if the survey is about gameplay and balance. However, this particular survey was about how champions look and how they look compared to each other, or at least id assume as it was what was stated in the first panel.

This seems rather odd to me, I've been playing league for more than 3 years. And then to have not one but two answers equaite to "oh well go fk yourself then" when I was asked to voice my opinion (seriously choosing one and continuing just loops you back to the first slide, like wow fuck you too) really felt like a smile followed by a slap in the face.

I've been playing for like 3 and a half years, i feel like I may be able to answer some questions about aesthetics...

ouchie i hope im not going too offtopic here, but ranked is, dare i say, overrated. No real competitor would play and try their best every day, or as some do it, every game. That's one reason flex is taken as norms atm. And even if you didn't play ranked officially but still tried hard just to best your casual enemies aka try hards in norms, you still wouldn't be able to you know give or do your best, game after game. The body and the mind have a limit and you WILL need a warmup (you see people in ranked go: 'first game for today'), and your performance is bound to go down after a few hours. If you're playing for a title or an actual physical reward, it would only be once a week, any day but mostly weekend, and again, for a very limited amount of time. Some tournaments are even more rare than that. The rest would all be practice, year round. Opening the rank ladder 24/7 vastly reduced its accuracy (as a performance measuring tool - not that the current measurements are ok to begin with), but unfortunately it has not reduced the importance people give to it. Including, if not especially, the people developing it.
