Everybody in this community has something this game can improve on, if it's not for the community it is a part of the gameplay.
but in 5+years i have been playing this game i feel completely ignored and i know that many other people find that to be the case aswell. for crying out loud, we dont even have a way to contact the people who work on this game, to share our concerns.
why doesnt riot listen to the people that makes them a reality?
zSkeletoRz3 votesI feel heard. I am someone who tends to be quite vocal in matters that matter to me.
I can say on several occasions, all very recent, that Rioters (Reds), Arbiters, Player Support and all of us who love this game are paying very close attention.
I'm waiting on a Plat player I met yesterday to log on for his daily matches. I met him while leveling a smurf, a sad and desperate attempt to get Gravelord Azir. Set myself up a second account to use as a ranked smurf for when I place Silv 5 and get bumped to Bronze hell...
The guy promised me he would gift me Gravelord on my main, if I went back to playing ranked. These are the players we need to keep around.
Riot is also a business. Business is never as straight forward as you would think. They are listening though, I can vouch for that.
Firu3 votesRiot listens to the community better than most gaming companies (in my opinion). The thing is, it's very hard for a company to listen to one specific player. Instead, Riot "listens" to the community as one aggregate/whole. Any specific voice may not get heard but the collective voice typically does with Riot.
StickyOctopi1 votesThey don't listen to their fanbase at all. Solo queue being the prime example. Everyone want's it, all pro players hate dynamic queue and have shared input hundreds of times.
There is a new solo q thread every other day and it's always at the top.
If they listened to their playerbase at all they'd just scrap dq and add solo/duo.
But they won't, they don't listen at all. Even if it's something the entire community dislikes.
Firu1 votesI don't dislike DynamicQ (and I'm a solo player). I feel that this particular example is one which the vocal minority trumpets the most on the boards. They made the decision to implement DynamicQ based on feedback (via Surveys) that they had from the community in the first place.
StickyOctopi1 votesDynamic queue is objectively bad, not just an opinion. The ranks are watered down. mean nothing and boosting is legal now. Just a dumb system all together.
I feel like they tricked people into saying they liked it by adding the new champ select. So players think they're the same thing and are like "ow wow this is cool" "I like dynamic queue" When they really only like the new champ select.
Placing groups of 4-5vs solo players isn't a good idea. It's just dumb in all seriousness. From every logical standpoint dynamic queue in ranked is bad.
Maybe people like it if they benefit from it, if they were bronze before and now they're silver bc they got carried by their friends. Those people would like it.
But anyone who cares about a true competitive experience/wants a true indicator of their skill and not their friends skill, or the 4 man premade who beat you playing solo's skill.
Firu1 votesThis is your subjective interpretation of Dynamic Queue. You're entitled to have this opinion. But it is just your opinion shared by some number of people and not shared by others.
Also, the old system also allowed people to partner up with someone of a higher rank.
StickyOctopi1 votesMy thoughts on it are subjective, sure. But it's an objective fact that dynamic queue makes it more difficult to determine a players true rank because they're either playing with their friends who're better/worse. Or they're playing solo vs premades, which again is not fair.
It is objectively bad for determining players true ranks, which is ultimately why dq is bad.
ModWulf Helhammer2 votesI take it you haven't seen any of the numerous feedback threads they've made
ZT Xperimentor1 votesKei1432 votesthats old stuff already. It's been over 9 months already.
I think they learnt and did a good job for the MYMU.
ZT Xperimentor1 votesIt had that difference in votes the week it was posted. Roughly 3/4 of the rework feedback posts they make look like this. The other 1/4 look like this; and something recent since you deny the past. http://boards.pbe.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/champions-gameplay-feedback/u4n6AaQR-experimental-sona-changes-feedback-wanted

Not everyone is going to agree on changes that are made to champs. Look at what happened with the poppy nerfs, players said that poppy would be literally unplayable, yet she's still a highly contested pick.
I also don't trust the PBE for shit, remember when they said that Ekko was too weak and needed more buffs before he makes it to live?
Eevee In A Jar2 votesRiot definitely listens. They just don't LISTEN listen. They'll hear the words, but it'll just go through the other ear because our opinions don't matter. If it did, we wouldn't be playing Dynamic Queue.

Riot did survey and majority supported Dynamic queue. Thing is those that like it, they dont write threads on forum, so we have many threads against it. But if people would be more active on forum we would have 4-5 threads praising dynamic queue compared to one hating dynamic queue. Realistic comparisson if u only count players that play summoners rift ranked i assume that its 20% who dislike dynamic and 80% who likes it (this is mostly from talking to players in games and friends, only 2/10 are against dynamic).
