Let's ask him why he hasn't buffed the LoL frost mages yet.

The best way to buff frost mages is to make a new one. ;) ;) nudge nudge

O.O Ty for posting an announcement on the boards.summoner 30 I really enjoy listening to the Q&A and was going to miss it otherwise.

Let's instead ask him why the mountain of issues that the season 6 mastery update caused to the health and balance of the game hasn't been dealt with, and why Riot is insistent on keeping keystones in the game despite only functioning as a revolving door for whichever champion can abuse them more effectively than others. Why not revert to the healthier previous materies where the masteries and champions themselves weren't constantly being changed because of mastery abuse?

Or we could ask about what Riot's plans are for dealing with mobility creep and power creep, and discuss how the release, or the approval for that matter of Camille shows they still couldn't care less about either.

Maybe we should ask him about the balance team's favoritism and unwillingness to hit problem children? Or the items team releasing obviously problematic items (hello EoN) without the ability to say "this was a bad idea."

Yeah, I'm pretty salty, but Riot's constant silence on key issues is seriously aggravating when we've heard for the fourth consecutive year that you would be more transparent with the community, and if every year you claim to be more transparent than previously, by now we should have livestream coverage of your dev departments, so why are Rioters seemingly unwilling to acknowledge the damage they've done to the game since season 6?

I also don't want to hear about how the community is a scary place full of angry people, because think about it, if you stop doing stupid shit, maybe people wouldn't be so angry. Just something to think about.

Stopped playing in 2015 but still comes on the forums to complain about how bad the state of the game is?

Keevalroy2 votes

Stopped in 2016* and hopes League won't be a clusterfuck of awful decisions some day.

Maybe boards only acct?

Keevalroy1 votes

Nope, this is sadly my main.

Why be all that more transparent when a lot of what they get in response is salt like this that seems to be just a knee jerk assault full of anger?

Keevalroy5 votes

Because when we hear about changes, it means it's already coming to the PBE, and by that point, unless it's something so undeniably catastrophic that whatever it is existing will render any other option for dealing with it useless, or so weak / misses the mark so much that releasing it would be wasted effort, then it's coming into the game. Period. If we have something to say, we're too late. It's coming and we can only deal with it, or make enough noise as a vocal community to hope Riot notices something.

That's why there needs to be transparency in the form of something similar to a skeleton kit of a prospected rework without VFX elements just so we can see what it looks like, and then we can react accordingly before something tragic like the Morde rework happens, and no one could do anything about it because it went onto the PBE - nothing we can do from there.

Furthermore, let's ask what plans they have for ADC itemization.

Or maybe we should ask if they intend to revert the changes to Jungle/Support. in which they are granted items specifically for their role, enforcing a meta created in season 2. Or maybe they plan to release toplane only items?

Or maybe we should ask what further consequences they foresee now that the game is balanced around the Flash summoner spell?

Keevalroy1 votes

Or maybe they plan to release toplane only items?

That one may be problematic in execution since top lane isn't exclusive to a particular type of champion. The reason junglers can get away with their own items is because of smite. Unless you plan on having items be exclusive for more than just Smite users, but specific summoners spells, I don't know how that would work, but I don't see that working out well.

How about why Riot makes and remakes champions that will never truly be competitively viable?

Merxamers2 votes

kinda confused about this one. Poppy, Warwick, and Sion have all seen lots of competitive play. As far as lesser remakes, Rengar is 100% pick/ban this season, Shen is played all the time, and lots of mages touched during the mage updates are played (Syndra, Cass, Brand, Malz, etc.) there are complaints to be made about LoL, but this one is blatantly incorrect.

TerraRising1 votes

You forgot Yorick (or failed to mention him since he goes against your point).

Let's ask, "How do champs like Yasuo , Ekko , Fizz to get further than concept before someone at Riot realizes, "Oh boy, this champ is kinda bullshit, maybe we should stop..."?"
