Formal Request to Tryndamere for a Boards AMA

LukeTheSheppy·11/2/2014, 1:58:29 AM·172 votes·5,120 views

This is a formal request to Tryndamere and Riot as a company to host an AMA on the Boards, and for it to be announced on all parts of the boards. We, as a community, have questions regarding the direction of the game and of the company, and I think it's time they get answered.

If you agree, bump and upvote. Upvoting without bumping is a crime and is punishable by poor mystery gifts and/or Teemo junglers in your ranked games.

What's the point of making Reddit 2.0 on your own website if you're not even going to use it. Come on, Riot.

Still betting he won't answer, but I'll bump it for you anyway since I want answers as much as the next guy.

Even if they have an AMA we won't get any satisfying answers. This isn't old Riot any more.

The only question I want answered is why was the lore retconned without community input, and then when the community said it was very unhappy with the change, why were they ignored? It's a very clear communication problem, an AMA would be great.

A AMA would be appreciated greatly ONLY IF we act like civilised people when giving questions. Acting like an angry mob will advance to nothing.

Even if he does an AMA, all he and Riot will do will dodge all the hard questions and give us cherry-coated turd answers like they always have. There would have to be major riots outside of their HQ if we as the community were to ever show that we're really not taking anymore bullshit excuses and want things to get done. So long as we the players just moan and bitch behind our monitor screens, Riot can do w/e the hell they want w/o fear of consequences. Ryze, Trynd, and most of Riot don't care about us. They only care about the money. I would not be surprised if half of the community abandoned LoL within the next five years. When that happens, LoL will just be left in the dust as wasted talent and money. Everyone will forget about it and move on to some other "fantastic" game that some other new company has made, only to find out later on that it will just be another LoL.

Seriously, if Riot cared about us, we wouldn't be complaining right now.

Unfortunately this will probably not be enough to make him break away from his current plans of doing an AMA on reddit. It's kind of a self facilitating problem that will feed into itself barring some direct intervention. There aren't that many people on the boards, so people will choose to go to reddit for more attention from rioters, which will cause rioters to pay attention because they're on reddit, which will cause less people to want to be on the boards since they know not that many rioters will show up here when they can just do it on reddit. It sucks but I don't think we can fix the problem unless we either get a lot of people or somehow convince Rioters to actually pay attention to the board they worked on over a year and forced us to migrate to while it was halfway finished.

Also, why the hell is GD not on redtracker?

AMAs have always been on Reddit... not that I like it, but it kind of is what it is... Apart from that though, bump...

Personally I'd say AMAs should be on the Boards, if they want the Boards to be worth a damn. I'd also say that it's a shame that the different servers all use different Boards/forums too, though; it could very easily be seperated by language and still share the same Boards...

Where are the east coast servers? The minute I figured out that 1 second delay between clicks wasn't apart of the game I wanted whatever those west coaster have.

Bump for answers. And justice.

I promise all of you if this succeeds they will make the green Skittles Lime flavored again.

As a bonus, post some of your questions here so we can show them that we're serious.

What philosophies went into the current jungle changes planned for season 5?

@RiotTryndamere East Coast servers when? (Please dont answer with SoonTM)

Pythagorean Thm11/3/2014, 11:05:54 PM2 votes

C'mon riot don't be shy... We just want to hug you and tell you you're the best company ever and stuff. We'll ask questions like "How are you so sexy" like our fine friends over on reddit ask.

Answer the call out Tryndamere.

It is always sad when some one in a position of power calls out to the masses and tells them you have my ear your cries for help shall not go unanswered, and yet here we are talking to ourselves as we always have. Maybe if someone hijacked the forums and made them a mirror image of reddit we might confuse the reds and get them to post here?

Why bother doing AMA's here when you're all just a bunch of salty ass whiners

Carniverous11/2/2014, 11:13:05 PM1 votes

I would like an AMA here. But um. Why would Trydamere want to do one here when everyone just bagged on him the last time he was called onto the Boards about this? People were disrespectful and DownVoted him. A Red. I couldn't see his comments because he had been down voted. And he said NOTHING wrong and made good points when I viewed them. Downvoting seems to be a passive aggressive way of saying, "I'm upset!"

Reddit reaches people a lot faster than these boards do. And until The Boards catch up in popularity, Reddit will still be the better choice. Statistically.

I'd like to see more respect and understanding to the Reds.
