The hypocrisy of RIOT: The community's frustration spoken through another player's words

BTW, this is about the Braum "Will it jungle" spotlight on the client. We have all heard about the #1 singed main drama and how RIOT has threatened to perma ban him... then they go ahead and post this **** for everyone to see after they log in. Like come on RIOT, why do you have to be like that. I was scrolling through a couple of league pages on facebook and accidentally found this beautiful response that the REAL league community can get behind on. Please take a moment to read some of our frustration RIOT employees and owners.

"it really is disappointing seeing streams like this being supported (not to mention it's a fucking riot "employee" whatever that even means" http://prntscr.com/dero9z (WILL "CHAMPION" JUNGLE?!) being able to proclaim their spots in highlights and recognition in the community. It's inefficient and counter plays the whole "meta" everyone is so riled up into yet a bigger portion of the scene supports it. So why do one tricks that hold their own like that singed get such negativity to the point where they get banned / bad rep from the entire community when they will probably never match up with/against said player. Guess people only listen to hype/highlights instead of efficiency/stability." -He who shall not be named.

You're mixing up something here. The singed drama was about somebody who had the role of support, going counterjungling. Riot never said anything against support-champions being used to jungle, and in fact it has been said specifically that not even the weird singed support counter jungle was the problem, but rather the way that player went about informing his team.

The problem here has never really been the inefficiency (especially as the tactic seems to have had over 50% winrate), and breaking the meta was only a problem because he did not properly communicate his unusual plan with his team, which expected a different kind of strategy to be followed.

There's absolutely no hypocrisy here that I can see as the situations you are comparing are entirely different from one another.

Before you know it, this post will go in the anti-Riot graveyard with all the other anti-Riot posts. No one wants to make constructive debate about anything anti-Riot on the forums and god forbid you do. Because that shits gettin downvoted and burning in hell real quick.
