Bad file structure on LoL directory

May I suggest fixing the file structure for the future patches? There are ****** duplicated files and assets and hundreds of empty folders inside the RADS file in the installation directory. I know its not game breaking or as urgent as other issues, but a new well organized file structure may help prevent bugs and make programming easier in the future.

So yeah, that's my 2 cents. Keep the good work Rioters.

The entire structure of the game in general looks like it was organized by a 3rd grader. Never have I seen anything so stupid.

Normal structure of a game, organizing things in libraries that are helpfully named and condense information in a way that requires as few clicks as possible. http://puu.sh/cPOBi/487b4893f8.png

Riot's drawn out, unorganized, blown up structure. It looks worse than the file structure for XBOX GAMES. FROM 2003. WHO MADE THIS? Why the hell is the default directory out of program files? Why is there a downloads folder? Why are there thousands of folders like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\Riot Games\League of Legends\RADS\projects\lol_game_client_en_us\managedfiles\0.0.0.227\DATA\Sounds\Wwise\VO\en_US\Characters\MasterYi\Skins\Base <- this has 3 files in it. Where is there in any game a index of past releases managed in a folder structure? How does any programmer handle having to nest all his files and work with files that are sitting in a string of SEVEN irrelevant folders? C:\Program Files (x86)\Riot Games\League of Legends\RADS\projects\lol_game_client_en_us\managedfiles\0.0.0.227\DATA\Sounds\Wwise\VO\en_US\Characters\MasterYi\Skins\Base\3 files that someone had to put there. It's so bad theres no way to put a screenshot of it because its spread out in hundreds of places.
