This month is the "test how many players we can get to quit" month...

First we get some very very unnecessary balance changes
Then we get a premature HUD release that (almost) everyone hates
then we get a premature rework on gangplank which had questionable impacts to his win rate
then we get fioras rework looking like a 70 year old French professor with leblancs hair.. (however the fiora VU is in PBE)
NOW we get teemo buffs....(Also pbe)

What are you up to riot... just what are you up to....

Note: Riot did a lot of awesome things this month too, like the new map and announcer and stuff, but there were definitely more negatives than positives this month

Oh another complaint thread...

Yea man i mean i already read like 300 of these. We get it. Everything was upgraded but you like living in the past.

if you call unreadability to its maximum account upgraded, that's great for you, but most people don't The only people enjoying the new HUD are people with monster monitors

Go visit an eye doctor if you can't see. Why is everything Riots problem? Be responsible. I see the new HUD fine as I am sure most people do. Entitlement babies are pathetic.

My eyes are definitely not the issue. Many things came with drawbacks with the new HUD. Like ive stated many times, the HUD was not ready for release. Everyone on PBE knew that the HUD was not ready and they thought riot knew too, but of course, like most things, riot shoved the players feedback to the side and did it anyway. Look where that got them. I remember seeing a toll on a website with a counter of how many league of legends players have quit, the toll was at around one thousand. Very few people enjoy the new HUD, you have to understand that no one HATES the new HUD, i know i don't, but rather, the players HATE the fact it couldve been so much better but riot ignored them. Think about the things that are inefficient now. When holding tabs you dont see names anymore, you have to mouse over the champion icon. Stats are all white (Remember when some were green so you can see what runes you got?). The stats themselves are so tiny you should have to zoom your head in to see it. Many other things in the new HUD were released but not to its most optimal efficiency. The HUD was a premature release, nothing more.

You were a premature release. The HUD is fine. Get over it now or stop playing the game. There is nothing wrong with it and for you to say there is tells me you are not paying attention to the things you need to be paying attention to. Everything you are saying that you want to do you should already know when the game starts. Entitled people are the worst kind of people.

there isn't any point in trying to white knight riot at this point. If you were to check the PBE boards there are thousands of posts complaining about many of the premature releases.. Riot responded by saying they wanted to try updating on the fly (Releasing an unfinished product to live and upgrade it as time goes by) but that completely removes the purpose of PBE, which exists for just that. Some people like the new HUD, no one is saying "You better not like the HUD or ill shoot you" The fact of the matter is, you liking the new HUD is an opinion, and players not liking the new HUD is ALSO an opinion. So there is just no argument when it comes to whether or not riot made a mistake because it is all based on OPINION. The only thing is, that the majority of the OPINION is against the new HUD, that is all. The "you were a premature release" was a completely unnecessary remark, please try to boost your arguments in a professional manner, thank you.

Where are your statistics showing your majority? Yes you were a premature release. You are the same typical, "I need my 15 minutes of fame type person" that causes most of the problems in this world because they make mountains out of molehills. Any problem with the new HUD is cosmetic because all the information needed is right there. It is easier to access and the important things you need to see are in the same place so you can access it all at once. I am sorry you despise change but wake up and get a clue, that is the way of the world.

But yes, you are right it is an opinion and we both have one. I am guessing that mine as well as others will find that there will not be a major overhaul to this HUD because it's fine. There is not one major problem with it. But you go ahead and keep declaring a world disaster like you people do and see how much they listen to your BS.

I've actually submitted a support ticket requesting they remove everything from my account(without any demand for a refund on anything) just to protest the horrible actions they have taken and give me a way to prove i'm serious about quitting over the new art direction.

Yeah keep complaining, these threads are a fucking joke. There are 3000 of these yet you think to yourself "Maybe if i make another pointless post of me whining about things not going my way because I refuse to adapt to new changes and continue to be the unappreciative asshole i am, they will listen to me!"

No, that's wrong and the changes they made aren't bad at all. Instead of trying to get used to the new system and actually try to make use of the HUD and acknowledge how great it actually is, you spend more time here upvoting people and posts that have the same cancerous mind set the you have and downvoting people who actually disagree with your opinions because they actually know how to ADAPT to new changes because they understand that the game is not going to be the same FOREVER. If you complain that the HUD is hard to see, that is some god honest bullshit unless you are borderline blind because everything looks clear and is NOT impossible to see. If you played for a good week before losing your shit you might have been able to realize this.

They did an amazing job with gangplank, his animations and his kit are fucking amazing and he is no longer a pain to lane against now. People who play him utilize all of his abilities instead of just mashing his Q which is awesome. The new rework attracts more players that are looking to creatively use his barrels and ult or otherwise his kit as a whole. How can people not see this? Riot did a stellar job on his rework.

Teemo getting buffs isn't even a catastrophic event because enough people know how to play against him from the get-go and the "buffs" aren't even that extensive to the point where people are crying about it. NOTE: i have not played one game as teemo

As for the Fiora rework its so sad, yet funny how people are uninstalling just because the character they play once or twice every 30 games is getting a rework. There have been 500 posts about the artwork and the model. I thin riot gets that you hate it. But to say "THATS IT...I'M uninstalling!" is funny because those same people come back to play within the next 3 days and/or continue to actively post on the boards.

You obviously miss out the point of the "Over 3000" posts "Complaining" Out of these 3000 or so posts as you claim.. how many have riot responded to?.... oh yeah... none... This isnt the first time something like this has happened. Riot appears to be insanely shy when it comes to making mistakes. Remember when Elise/Aatrox/Basically every new champion was OP upon release? Barely anyone could stand it and where were riots words in those cases? Fact of the matter is, there will continue to be posts complaining untill Riot finally responds. What kind of company releases new content and then says nothing afterward? That is just poor Customer service. ESPECIALLY when league of legends is the most played game in the world, and ESPECIALLY since it's riots ONLY game. I would expect more from riot... I just wish ONE riot employee would just say anything at all to any of these type of posts. Even a simple "Ok" would be enough.

As for your feedback on the updates that came with this patch, I am really glad to hear you are enjoying the additions and changes in the game. You are, without a doubt, entitled to your own opinion, and in that same sense you should be able to understand that other people are entitled to their own. You can not FORCE someone to like the new changes just like you can't FORCE people to not like the new changes. Fact of the matter is, the majority of the OPINION is against the changes. Me personally love most of the changes, but was sad when i saw they were not released as well as they could have been. But again of course, that is just MY opinion, and i'm not trying to force it on anyone. Thank you for the reply though!
