For a free to play game I've spent more money on this game than any other game I've ever owned; and that's because this is an amazing game. I could go to gamestop and spend 60$ on call of duty or whatever is popular right now, beat it in a day and play the same multiplayer over and over and over and the only change i will see is a DLC for 30$ with like 4 new maps whoo!

Riot is always changing, always improving, always releasing new champions or skins or game-types or community events. I always look forward to seeing what new things are on the way or whats being changed for better or worse, because shit at least you're trying. You get involved with the community answering their questions, letting players play with employees, setting up fun ways for people to get involved, sharing community creations, and all around do an awesome job at what you do. The other day i saw a person post they made it to 1000 ranked wins and wanted to play with a riot employee to celebrate and you know what? A riot employee commented on that and said let's do it! That's so cool and riot is the only company connecting with their community like this.

TL;DR You guys catch a lot of heat from the community about the small things they disagree with but i think you deserve a pat on the back rito, you done good. I've been playing since season 2 and to compare that game to the well-polished world renowned game it is today is astounding. You guys have come so far and will continue to do so and that's why i love riot as a company and league as a game. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see what season 6 has in store :D

Thank you so much for playing!

It's so cool for me to have been playing since S1 to then get a job at Riot this year and discover that Rioters are some of the most passionate players around. That they, like myself, really care about the community and the future of the game. We are encouraged to interact with the players, play the game and push for ideas when we think they are really great and it's for those reasons that I love my job.

Trust is something we have to earn each day, anything we do is never perfect, we want every addition we make to be even better than the last and so it's wonderful to every so often hear that we are doing a good job. Many of us read player feedback incessantly and, despite the fact that we know it comes from a place of passion, take it very much to heart. So it's SUPER valuable to read something like this. I'll be sure to link it to my team!

It's nice to see people have a positive outlook on this sort of thing :)

I agree! Riot may not be able to satisfy each and every player, but they do listen to us and try to keep things fresh.

Wow, really warms my heart, Ismokeoregano. Thanks. Also, smoking isn't really the healthiest habbit, neither is playing league for 18 hours straight! Balance is the key.Karma :P

Dont want to be that guy but, call of duty wasn't a good example because people buy it for the multiplayer and play it a good while. Furthermore, i spend less then 60 bucks a year on fighting games which last several months and more balanced.

Improving? No. They have been making a lot of poor decisions lately, but overall they are amazing. Love the game, love riot, but they are certainly not improving.

TurquoiseYoshi10/23/2015, 8:54:25 PM2 votes

I agree. They try so much harder than literally anyone else to do a lot of things, and a lot of people just take that as normal and act like what we get isn't enough.

LOL.

I'm playing since 2010 and this game is in a very sad state. Balance is a mess, Riot is bunch of hypocritical, lying jerks who barely listen to the community (but they did long time ago when the game wasn't that popular). But yeah, if you think that screwing up Cass rework and then ignoring the players is "improving", or maybe that 3 AD Vayne nerf, then I can't help you.

I find it ironic that I said the same things on a post around the times where people were b@$&ing about Fiora's art and I was downvoted. People do not understand Riot is the reason why we are able to play this game. #MyHeart&TrustIsWithRiot

It's exactly why i play this game: the game changes so frequently that i dont get bored of it also the lcs worlds are so exciting too :D

Yeah, Rito deserves some praise... they're awesome! :D

PixTron10/24/2015, 4:46:23 AM1 votes

Yeah, I think you set us an example that we should still be grateful for League of Legends.

But I still think they need to release a Sandbox mode...

Oh wow I didn't think I would see this kind of a post.
