So now that Tencent completely owns Riot

What does this mean for Riot as a company and their direction in the future?

What does it mean for us the players and our rights within the game?

What does it mean for League of Legends?

A company like Tencent getting into the pockets of so many players around the world cannot be in any way a good thing.

What will that mean in terms of a company to player interaction, where already most of our questions are blankly ignored in our perspective only to be covered by a cleverly written article that does not allow for our voiced concerns to receive immediate responses, only to be covered by other cleverly written articles assuring us that everything is ok...

What happened when Riot responses turned from insightful about genuine impact they have with this or that decision to irrelevant quotes from the art team in regards to gameplay and balance is likely going to happen again but only now we will get completely snuffed out and our voice will be left as whispers in the wind if company sensitivity to the information they share is increased any more. (Think Tencent and their censorship)

The playerbase is already isolated from and frustrated with Riot enough as it is (shout out to Malicious Metal who never gave up)

I want to ask Riot as a company body and it may be difficult to answer but I feel we deserve a clear and concise response, what are your plans for the future now you are officially owned by Tencent?

Pretty much nothing will change (99% likely). Ten cent knows Riot can manage League better then they can
