Maybe You Haven't Noticed, but...

Every time you do something, Rito, you spark 8000 different threads about it on the boards, because almost NO ONE LIKES WHAT YOU ARE DOING!

Before I get downvoted to hell, hear me out:

When Gangplank got disabled, people had mixed feelings about it. Cool idea. But after a week and a half of that shit people just wanted him back. He will continue to be disabled for the next few days. No one wants that.

I have more examples, but let's keep this short and sweet; No one wants these mordekaiser changes. No one. Not one single person. Have I played him as an apc? Yes. Do I like the Dragon pet? Yes. But I disagree with you Nerfing his base damages and ratios to shit, his base health, and making his W almost useless in a solo lane.

In case I wasn't clear, this thread isn't solely about Morde. You need to wake up and start listening to your player base, instead of just doing whatever the fuck you feel like doing at the time, then saying "Whoops, guess they didn't like that" when the damage is done.

Sorry if I sounded harsh, but it needed to be said.

TLDR: Riot, needs to make sure that what you're doing is in the interest of the player base, instead of just making willy-nilly changes for the hell of it.

I like what they're doing. I don't like being completely dismissed as a matter of course, however.

Okay, so I over-exaggerated. Sorry. But I'm really very flustered with the changes to champions, and the fact that very few people are actually fond of them. They're completely gutting mordekaiser's damages, MS, and ability to solo lane, and they're giving skarner the ability to give free gold to the enemy team. Instead of making gimmick changes for the sake of making changes, they should think about what a majority of the player base wants and needs.

It's fine. I was mostly playing

Personally, though, I don't mind the Morde changes - he wasn't in a healthy place before, and I'm hopeful this could help him see more play, as well as shake up the standard meta a little.

Skarner's... a little more concerning to me, but I think there's some interesting play opportunities for it, and I'm excited to see how it turns out.

Honestly, I think the skarner change was more for worlds, see them #LCSBigPlays with "Skarner turrets". But yeah, I think he'll get more play from other people, solely because of the dragon gimmick, but I just hope it doesn't affect how I like to play him.

There's two things here that spark that.

1: These boards overreact to EVERYTHING. If you changed Scuttlers health by 1, there is someone out there who will do math and scream "Now X champion can kill the crab in 14% less time, this will change the game for the worst, they hell you fuckers doing?" Extreme example, but it's true. I know anything that effects champions I play can get a knee jerk reaction from me, though I try not to come here and I just pout in my chair.

This is because people love this game. If you change something people love, you're going to annoy someone.

B: Riot has a history of not explaining things well or being contradictory. A nine year old can spot some flaws in their logic in some of their responses, and there are posts that seem to contradict themselves right from the get go, let alone if you look at how they say things over time. I won't point anything out specifically, because there's 180 people on these boards that have already pointed out one or two poor responses.

Finally, my opinion: If Riot didn't nerf 3/4s of some of these champions kits, we may not see as huge of a backlash (we'd still see one).

The only thing I disagree with in your whole comment was that you went from Point 1 - Point B. Honestly, I was just flustered that they decided to change the few champions that I main, lmao. Anyways, Riot may not have seen my post, but with "Riot Pls" they may have already answered the key point; let players in on the plans, and see if they actually have good reactions.
