Time to Hold Riot Accountable, YOU CAN HELP!

Eyrgos··1 votes·390 views

There's been a severe lack of follow-up/through by numerous Rioter's to the point that many fans feel "burnt" by Riot; rather than point fingers, let's help them to help us fix the relationship through improving this problem-spot!

I'm not here to judge 'why haven't they,' but merely to facilitate helping Riot fix its broken channels of communication.

Additionally, let's not use this thread to bash Riot or 'call them out'. Let's simply link action-items which we were told would be followed up on (quoting, if able) & let Riot take over by doing the right thing & fulfilling their agreements/promises.

If a action-item is posted that has actually been resolved already, please kindly inform the poster (again, quoting as able) so we can bump it off.

Riot, it's extremely important to our relationship that you get any & all staff members in here whom are responsible for making claims which haven't been fulfilled in a reasonable length-of-time; if the Rioter is no longer with the company, the proper channel/department must pick up where they left off or come in & address the matter in their stead, so we can be 'in the know' regarding potential update(s) or reasoning!

Please, no reporting on unfulfilled Red responses that are within a reasonable window of time (e.g. they said they'd get back soon(tm) and it's only been 3 days).

I'll kick things off & fingers crossed this thread gets lots of answers from RED's!

  • EXPEDITED LUX SKIN AS COMPENSATION FOR STEEL LEGION LUX NEGATIVE RECEPTION/"OVERSIGHT"

"...under normal circumstances, we wouldn't do another Lux skin for awhile, but I'd like to do one sooner due to this oversight here. We have more characters in this camp as well, so it's not going to be immediate. I don't have a timetable now, but I'd like to get something figured out here as we flesh this out."

"Soon(TM). Though in all seriousness, we still want to do this. What form it takes and when is still up in the air a bit. No news yet!"

Poster Trylobyte noted that Morello made no 'promise' here & that's true. However, even though Morello uses terms such as "like" or "want," he did create a sort of 'social agreement'. I'm not insinuating he 'promised' anything but he spoke with such assurance, that follow-up is merited. This example may be a poor one due to the above, but it is an example in which follow-up is appropriated. These sorts of reports qualify in my mind, as its a respectable thing to follow-up & say, "hey, sorry it's been so long but we had to X & Y, so it's going to be a bit longer," etc.

Please, no reporting on unfulfilled Red responses which were open-ended (no eta given) or that are within a reasonable window of time (e.g. they said they'd get back soon(tm) and it's only been 3 days).

You then immediately give an example where no promise was made (Morello wisely made liberal use of 'like' and 'want' rather than 'will') or ETA given (He specifically said that twice) violating your own rules right off the bat.

There's plenty of times they've made actual, real promises and not kept them (Limited skins) but you have to look harder than that.

Perhaps "eta" isn't the right term, I think a loose interpretation of an eta is OK. I'll change the wording...

Even though Morello uses terms such as "like" or "want," he did create a sort of 'social agreement'.

I'm not insinuating he promised anything but he nevertheless spoke with such assurance, that follow-up is merited. As well, to share that it'd be "soon(tm)" is a way of telling us it's happening, of sorts. Saying it'll be soon or very soon, even if it's merely "we hope it'll be," still merits follow-up as well (within a reasonable time frame). It's good PR to share, "hey sorry guys it's still on the docket, it's just taking longer than expected."

That example may be a poor one due to the above, but it is an example in which follow-up is appropriated.

This sort of reasoning is why the Quinn example also counts as we were told that somebody was on the project yet it's been a year.

Also, if you know of times they made real promises & haven't kept them or followed-through on them--please, I would love those to be shared here. That is the purpose of this thread.

OP Updated to reflect these changes/points.
