Out of every moba ever

League has the whiniest community that aren't satisfied with anything. It's literally like trying to feed a kid vegetables the contents good for them but their whiny spoiled brats.

Sorry it had to be said I love league with a passion and it will always be a favorite game of mine but the community drove out all my friends to the point where they won't play it ever again and this saddens me.

This isn't a post about how toxic the game is or how bad riot is, this is me telling the community as a whole to grow up. Believe it or not we are the reason there isn't very much transparency between us and riot.

TL;DR We gotta start makin' changes. Learn to see me as a brother 'stead of 2 distant strangers.

Sorry, can't trust people on the internet.

Code of caution.

Agreed. Everyone's always complaining about the state of the game, but it's the state of the community that's the problem. And that's a problem Riot shouldn't have to fix.

but not being a dick doesn't stop others being dicks. and tilt is in human nature

Tilt happens far less in a completely dick free environment. From my experience at least the only way you can be in a dick free environment and still go on tilt is if you are, yourself, a dick.

Or riot needs to start acting like the multi-million dollar company it is and listen to it's customers.

Riot had their head up their asses and finger to their community long before the community turned into bat-shit crazy, anti-Riot circle jerkers. They pretty much drove the community to it. It's gotten to the point people don't want to respectfully address Riot because it doesn't matter if they do, Riot always has an excuse as to why they know better but have proven time and time again that they don't.

What I don't understand is why the community stays. It's like telling your favorite restaurant their food is disgusting, but the chefs refuse to taste their own cooking and insist it tastes good and you just don't have taste buds, so you should just trust them, eat it, and be happy.

So leeeeeeeeeeeeeave. If you honestly don't enjoy the game that much, why stick around and spread the misery? I enjoy this game, what I don't enjoy is playing it with people that constantly complain about it.

What exactly do they 'not listen to us' about? They hear our feedback about balance issues, but here's a bit of advice when it comes to game balance; the customer isn't always right. Often they're biased as fuck, and they know very little about game design. Riot knows better because they made the fucking game. Who gives a rat's ass about your opinion on a champion?????? What the hell do you know about designing and balancing a game???? 90% of this community are a bunch of fucking sheep 12 year olds (I use this term figuratively, not literally) that do whatever their pros tell them to do. 5% are the pros and streamers that spoon feed the sheep what to think. That leaves 5% of us left that simply play the game to enjoy it. 5% that are less focused on what this week's OP champ is and are more focused on playing champs we enjoy.

Of course these statistics are made up, but that's what it feels like. What I said stands, if you don't enjoy this game anymore, stop playing. Go find another game to ruin, because I assure you, you're the problem and you won't be missed.

I never said I didn't enjoy the game? Did you even read my post?

Wasn't replying to you, was replying to the guy who's complaining about Riot not listening to customers. That's why it's under his post.

My mistake I was using chronological view my apologies .

redniwediSOct 9, 20153 votes

You're using chronological view aren't you? Try to use discussion view instead, so you won't accidentally think people are talking to you when they simply replied while in discussion view to someone else.

I was my mistake.

so lemme ask if you, lets say you were to get a team, then you wanted them to update how a car worked and looked. you told them you didn't care how just do it, so they spend a bit of time on it around a month, then they showcase it and put it into testing. people are split some like it some hate it, its functional and has its place but you can take it to the drawing board again and try to find a way to make everyone happy but wasting even more time and money or just put it out adjust it then continue on seeing how people use it?

that is what riot does, they do have passionate people come in and work they do care about the game but if they listened to everything we say and put it in then a bit of balance would get even more messed up. anywhere out there someone will think x is broken, there are people who think vel koz is broken and was a mistake or should get reworked. you know vel koz Velkoz the one champion who hasn't been changed in terms of balance, yeah some people think he's broken.

riot is trying to do whats right by the game by looking at how the games go, tank meta gp gets 60% armor ignore and fiora gets reworked into a tank buster. juggernauts each one's boring and don't bring anything outlandish, give one dominion, another a ghost dragon, then another anti carry ammo, and give his rival the same penta potential as his girlfriend with counterplay to his most annoying move like we did to veigar so its fair.

people dislike change but the difference is we love the game and can adapt. what i don't understand is why do you stay if you hate the game and the community with a passion?

~~I suppose you didn't read and I quote " I love league with a passion " in my original post. What I posted is merely an observation and it's something that everyone should work on changing.~~

was using chronological view my mistake I my apologies.

I agree yes and not.

I agree that LoL has the whiniest community, but i also have to say that we are the most numerous and given a certain % is normal to have more whiners: not sure about the %, but raw numbersmight be higher, and are not homogenized in the population meaning that there are groups less whiny and groups more whiny.

The boards for example are whiny as hell, since it' s supposed to be the nearest point to the devs and people like to come here to cry a lot. Sometimes the critics are legit, some others ask to nerf master yi.

This said, what are other mobas? Dota 2 has a story about how tsundereddit loves it or hates it by the extremes, HotS is played mostly by people attached to the franchise and as long as Blizzard doe snot ruin the fantasy of a character they are mostly fine unless is severly nerfed and others like Strife are kinda new and full of people more driven to discover. Heard pretty well from Smite too.

I have to say however that beyond LoL, HotS and a bit of Dota2 i don' t have strong opinions.
