At this point, don't you think we deserve something?

I mean the NA servers have been going down for days now, and most big rich companies give "we're sorry" rewards out for people getting punked this much.

I have to agree with you. I think they could make a comical reward such as an icon that depicts a server unconnected or with something split over it.

See, yeah :) Doesn't have to be all that much, just show us you care more than making someone type the sentence "sorry for the inconvenience" :P

I have to agreed,its a real pain to play in NA server in those days.

No just no. I've played since closed beta and i've endured a ton of days where the servers were down. While its down why not do something else rather than go on the forums and say "We deservce something." Piss off

Well there is a difference between beta servers and servers that (should) have progressed over the last 4 years to handle the immense amount of players Riot expects.

Riot don't behave like a big, rich company and they certainly don't hire like one. I'm not saying they have low standards but they just don't have ENOUGH people and they have said flat out that they do not hire specialists so its just as likely that they have accountants working on the servers right now as it is the splash art team. Specialists are the best at what they do but Riot won't pay for the best, I guess they don't think we are worth it.

What we deserve is the intense, fun, strategic, competitive, and community based game we all helped fund. Between my SO and I we have spent over $5000 on RP over the last couple years. Idk how long Riot thinks they can keep this game going when they consistently disappoint.

you've been able to play the game haven't you unless server's have been donw for more than one week we don't deserve anything

Sorry bout you guys that like making plans with people who don't have infinite free time, then having those plans get ruined by unstable servers :P

Anyway, it's getting a little much at this point isn't it? I mean Sony gave away hundreds of thousands of dollars in free stuff when they couldn't keep PSN online, and that's free too :P

I'm sorry you think a free game owes you something. Maybe it should start charging you to play. Then they could consider giving you free stuff whenever servers go down.

Also, PSN was taken offline because they were idiots and had the worst security ever resulting in thousands of people's credit card information being stolen. How can you possibly compare the two?

Over at Aeria Games, if any of their servers go down for either as long as league servers, or as frequently as league servers, they always give some sort of compensations. Temporary exp boost, loot boost, etc. And all of their games are free. So no, it's not just the big powerful companies that make you pay to play that give some sort of compensation. Sorry. <3

Point being, the least Rito could do would be to turn on a temporary ip boost or something. Hell, even just like an hour or something. That's what they do at Aeria and many other gaming companies.

Also, not very smart from a business standpoint for them to continually let us down and not fix it properly or get new servers or something and not give us any sort of compensation because all that's doing is making people wanna leave. I've read plenty of comments on other threads about people saying their leaving for a different game simply because Rito doesn't do the things they should be doing just like any other popular gaming company.

Just saying. <3

Ps.: For the record, Riot is a pretty damn rich and powerful company comparatively to other non-major-corporation produced games.

A) boo hoo, you can't play a video game. Do you seriously have nothing else to do that your life revolves around one single game? Please, do yourself a favor and get a life outside of League.

B) Most big rich companies make you pay to play their games. You pay absolutely nothing unless you buy the skins. That is by your own choice though. So don't get all high and mighty thinking a company that lets you play the game they spent so much time and money on for you for free owes you anything beyond what they are already giving you. So ungrateful.

Full AP VenusaurAug 20, 20142 votes

We buys skins to support this company and this game that we adore and this is what we get in return. This isn't LoLs only problem and its not the first time this problem has occurred. We do have lives outside of LoL but we still have a choice of what we would prefer to do in our own free time.

Ranked teams exist. It's already hard enough to get 3-5 people together at the same time to grind a ranked team. Bad servers makes this much much worse.
Free-to-play business models pull in MORE money than subscription based ones. Ever wonder why Ragnarok Online went free-to-play and added in a cash shop? It's because it makes them more money.

I said it earlier...boohoo, you can't play a video game. Your life is over because your life revolves around a video game. Go fishing. Play disc golf. Go to a bar and get a drink. Socialize outside of your chair and headset.

I love it when people don't even bother to consider what other people might be dealing with in life. For example, I have Autism. So simply "Going fishing, playing disc golf, going to a bar and getting a drink, socializing outside of your chair and headset," and doing anything else that involves going out into the world can be the most difficult and impossible thing in the world to do.

And before you try and doubt me, get Autism somehow, go live a week, then come back and talk to me.

Yeah I'm just gonna go fishing. At 12am. With no rod, no bait, no fishing license, no boat, and with no idea what is actually in season. Did you know they'll actually fine me harder for breaking hunting/fishing laws in Canada than they will for actual crimes? Like literally half a million dollar sort of fines? Sounds like a great idea!
