@Riot Developers Lost All Respect. Leaving Indefinitely.

I've been playing since season 2 over the years I am growing to hate the game. What started off as this small game with a lot of passion has turned into something else. VGU, skins and updates are all driven by the LCS and popular champions. Some champions are dumbed down so much for what is right for the LCS but not the champion itself. I will not continue to support a game the Developers only care about 25% off.

Lablanc and Azir have been talked about religiously alomost 6 plus times the past 3 weeks. It took Meddler or any other game developer four years to tell us Karma is not getting a rework but MAYBE SMALL work done on her kit. Let's face it and say you won't do anything but number buff her shield values again and nerf them again, because of a new shield enhancing items you want to introduce in the game. The Developers think Ezreal deserves a visual update and gameplay update than say a champion like Karma. They think a newer champion like Kalista, Azir and kindred deserve art and gameplay updates over a champion like Karma. It's been four years. When will it ever be this champions turn? When will she ever get any compensation for the terrible relaunch four years ago that you couldn't even be bothered to finsh or even do a good job with.

I know the answer. After a full Ezreal update and nearly all new updates to new champions. What I find very hypocritical is that LeBlanc is receiving a update so quick and Karma hasn't had anything for four years now. It's favoritism and ignorance towards other ones for years now. Ryze? Four big updates. LeBlanc? Gets an instant art and gameplay update after a bad rework. Aatrox? Getting another huge update compared to so many others.

These Developers don't care. They care about specific things and ignore everything else. Karma will never get anything but a number buff. They think her half worked on kit, art, and theme is amazing right now. They are very delusional and care about everything else but what needs addressing for years now. Ihaven't played in about 15 days and I don't care just like them anymore. I lost all respect and what little respect I had left for these Developers. Goodbye.

why rework Karma when she sees a lot of lcs play and is top tier? isn't it better to rework champions that need it rather than old ones that are doing fine?

That's the problem. Her kit is all over the place and she has no real niche. She also has half worked on art assets and a poorly conceptualize theme. They removed everything for a shield bot that builds shield enhancing items. Btw her winrate as a support and mage is at an all time low right now.

She has it already. The shield nerf is enough to keep her out of meta until they buff the numbers again. It will happen I guarantee it.

Not sure if you've seen, but Karma is sitting at a 45/46% win rate in both Support and Mid. Does she really still need a hard nerf?

He doesn't care so don't waste your breath. I will say she is too strong early game and her power in Q is all funneled into it.

4 years now and nothing. Meanwhile Ryze gets four reworks and then another one next year most likely. They already worked on Aatrox now they are going back to him. God forbid Lablanc not be meta for one or two seasons. Also gotta prioritize that new champion art and gameplay update, while even a champion like Ezreal deserves it more than Kindred and Kalista. Who cares at this point. They haven't learned their lesson four years ago with reworks and still making excuses and working on the same champions.

Those are all problem children.

Karma is doing just fine.

Show me a single patch where karma has dropped to 35% win rate like ryze.

Show me a single patch where karma is literally the worst top lanes in the game.

Show me a single patch where karma has had a lower winrate than either kalista or kindred.

KARMA IS FUCKING FINE RIGHT NOW.

At least compare to the ones you listed.

The funny thing is that rito apparently "hates" when counter-less characters are above a 50% winrate (hence why they nerfed lane lulu, rumble, and a few other things) yet allow orianna to go by completely uncontested.

Bit of a shame you had to leave, but it's thoroughly understandable. Luckily, it was kinda the perfect time to do so as most games are starting their "summer features" making it pretty easy to find something else.

I'm playing FF XIV right now. Having a lot of fun as a scholar.
