Sub-Community Suggestion!! - We have New Commmunity Feedback Gameplay & Strategy Ideas & Feedback eSports Story & Style Live Balance Teamwork & Behavior Fan Creations Memes & Games Help & Support
I suggest we add one that people will say That belongs in Ideas and Feedback!! Well I think there should be one for "Current issues we are trying to Fix" And have Riot put in there current majior issues so that players can tell them their thoughts on it.
RiotMontag3 votesInteresting idea. Any examples of issues or discussions you'd put there?
Ozbirta2 votesI was thinking things like the Rengar/Xerath mega-threads. A quick place to see where all the big champ rework and item rework/update progress is at. I think that would be really beneficial.
It's not exactly a "Live Balance" type thread, maybe it does fit in the "Ideas & Feedback", but it would have a more direct purpose. I'm on board :)
DubleDice1 votesDefinitely!
Daen1 votesThe only thing about this that's odd to me is that these issues should in theory already be present on the Public Beta Environment area where players can actively test the issues presented by Riot. There are times where this isn't the case, but I have to admit those situations make me think more about a possible disconnect between Riot and what's on the PBE rather than between Riot and the information they put out.
In theory, the big concerns being worked through by Riot are usually either in extremely early stages and protected by NDA, in mid-development and protected by NDA, or close to release on the PBE/already there and available for testing. It seems to me like you're asking for information that's either under NDA and can't be released or is not released to the public due to a disconnect between what Riot's working on and what's known by the community.
What distinctions would be in place to make this sub-community a different experience than the PBE forums? Would this be more based on posting issues the company has and hasn't started in-depth work on yet because they're stumped? Possibly more along the lines of having consistently updated information on the concepts that have been released (e.g. any changes to the S4 Preseason are all registered in a single thread/sub-community)?
To be clear I'm not discounting the idea at all, I'm just trying to get a feel for it and where it'd fit in!
Ozbirta1 votesA lot of the ideas they toss around are before any changes hit the PBE. They have been doing Q&As about what we like about the champ, what we don't like, and possible areas of change. Yes, the thread does stay alive once the changes are on the PBE, and then those testers can talk about what they are experiencing there on the PBE forums, but that's distinctly different than the ideological phase than the threads in this section would be about.
I hope that made sense :-p
Bolraguard1 votesFor example:
Riot: We are looking to do a rework of _________ What ideas do you have for this rework?
Community: (Insert loads of info good and bad)
Riot: We like these ideas ________ for X and Y.
Riot: We dislike these ideas __________ for X and Y.
Riot: What do you think about these possible changes _______?
Community: (Insert more info good and bad)
Riot: Thank you for helping us with the rework on _______. We now have plenty of information and a desired direction based on your feedback THANK YOU!!.
This is one Example
I completely Agree with having in the Mega Threads.
My personal favorite i would like to see is Camera angle, i have been basicly begging for this for a long time. But having a back n forth discussion seems impossible.
These would be an Actual Discussions, letting players understand why something is a good or bad idea should be very important to Riot. As this would allow the community to feel they actually played a part in creating a champion, a Mode, a Map, a Skin, a ______!!
After the discussion is considered done, then Riot moves the thread to its Proper Sub community. This sub community should be Riot posted/started only.
Should also have 1 Thread that is the Top Perma top thread like a sticky thread, that players can post to claiming what Riot should work on next.
