Say what you will about the juggernaut reworks, RiotRepertiore is doing damn fine work on the Boards

Juggernaut changes, love 'em or hate 'em, you have to give credit to one Rioter. RiotRepertiore. He is constantly, and I mean constantly here on the boards not only tackling the threads about the reworks, but also other threads speaking of the other aspects of the current League of Legends. I saw one post complaining of the fact that the Vampirism mastery that you can take on the Utility mastery page is not exactly perfectly suited for supports who are the ones mainly using that category. And you know what happened? RiotRepertiore jumped right in and said he felt kind of the same way, and asked us if we enjoyed it at all. I have not seen this amount of community interaction from a Rioter since... ever. So say what you will about Rioters and Riot as a whole. You do have to say that RiotRepertiore is doing damn fine job here on the boards. Damn fine.

No one is complaining about that anymore, that was like.. last week. All remaining hate is towards mordekaiser rework alone, the other 3 are somewhat ok. insert slowpoke pic

Not sure how Darius or Garen play now, but everyone's either mad at Darius' Q delay or Garen's self-slow on Judgment+his W changes. They're still relevant to be annoyed at, me thinks.

They already removed the self-slow and changed his W to have a static cap of 30 armor/MR (no need to level it now to get its full potential).

So yeah, that's why everyone thinks RiotRepertoir is awesome.

I mean, it's like... the whole point of this thread. Things are actually happening.

This guy is basically what everyone wants riot to become one day.

To be fair Meddler was already around before Repertoir, now we just have 2 Meddlers.

Statikk is working on MissFortune right now so i'm hoping she's come out a bit more viable than what others say about her, every time i'm out ranking with her people always says she's crap but i always say otherwise with my wins and outplays.

also Scruffy said "Guys, seriously, just double her ult's damage and go from there."

love that comment right there so i'll see in the upcoming patches about her and see what updates they'll bring.

They're still working on Miss Fortune? May I ask what they're trying to do with her? Honestly for me (I main Miss Fortune ADC myself), the only issue I've ever had is with her ultimate.

Her Q is a great idea; good harassment mechanic, no complaints there since it can be countered by simply paying attention to the health of nearby enemy minions

Her W I actually always upgrade first myself, as early game laning phase, I always seem to win in 2v2's against the opposing ADC by just a hair due to it, not to mention the attack speed steroid is very helpful when you aren't sure if you can last hit those few minions that are walking under your turret :3

Her E I honestly don't understand why people have a problem with it. The only thing I hate is the range to cast it. Whenever I want to catch someone off guard with it, they'll be able to run away before I can even cast it far enough ahead of them to actually slow them fully and land a few hits. If they increased the range on it I'd be satisfied, but yet again, this isn't necessarily problematic honestly.

Her R, Jesus Christ is that an issue. Lacks quite a bunch of damage, relatively difficult to position (I suck, I get it), and leaves you VERY vulnerable to charges or interruptions, which is ALREADY an issue for her due to her lack of instant mobility versus constant (I.E. Vayne) as well as her lack of disengage techniques to perhaps compensate for it (I.E. Jinx). She either casts it poorly, has to cancel it instantly and has just wasted it (which happens a lot when you're against mobile/flashy opponents who can easily escape her ultimate's cone), or she positions it well to hit the enemy, but in exchange leaves herself very vulnerable to being charged and bursted down to death.

If it was like Lucian's ultimate but with, maybe her move speed reduced a lot in exchange but at least able to move somewhat with it activated, I would not complain about it. Or perhaps make it so, if you cancel it (let's say you're 2 seconds into it), it saves the rest of the time of it to be used when you activate it again (think Ahri's ultimate but not in charges, rather duration).

Otherwise I find her to be a perfectly viable ADC, her passive being very helpful early game if you want to focus on damage building and bypass the purchase of Berserkers Greaves, or perhaps do the opposite, and be that weirdo who builds five zephyrs and mercury treads/boots of swiftness and strut that slut all around (don't forget alacrity :3).

I think that RiotRepertiore is doing a fine job of slapping a band-aid on the problems people had. I appreciate the effort he's putting forth but from what I've seen of all of his posts he comments the least objectionable thing imaginable every time and never gives solid answers. I don't mean to diminish what he's doing, it's probably pretty scary to try to comment on here as a Red, but many comments from him mean less than a single one from someone like Morello. Unlike RiotRepertiore, Morello gives direct answers to people's concerns and tries to explain Riot's justification if there aren't any plans to alleviate those concerns. That doesn't always make him popular, but it usually clears things up about how Riot as a whole feels about the issue. RiotRepertiore post things that encourage discussion and gives his personal opinion on matters, but rarely will he take any strong stance on an issue or give insight into the company's current thoughts on it.

Basically, I hope more Rioters follow his lead and try to be a part of this community, but I hope this isn't replacing Riot employees like Morello posting the company's official thoughts on issues.
