I think I'm too old for these boards.

I think that, on one hand, you have people with legitimate complaints that order themselves neatly and present not only information about the problem, but also methods of how to solve it. These are the people with actual agendas, and they give their information, support it with strong evidence, and present it in a calm manner. Those people absolutely deserve a Riot response

Then ya got the "nerf Lee/Zed" QQ threads with like 3 words of text. If Riot doesn't answer, then they assume Riot is completely incompetent at their job (whether or not they are is up for you to decide).

Many, MANY times, though, it is the latter. I can go into the Gameplay and Balance section of the boards and get depressed and sad, and sometimes even outright angry at Riot for doing the things they do.

Then I go into the Community Creations, and suddenly there is calm. Sweet, soothing tranquility. Nobody rages or whines or begs or trolls (unless there's a red post, in which case people do not waste the opportunity to bombard them with questions unrelated to the actual topic), it's just a showcase of some really good fan-made stuff.

Yeah, Riot should communicate their intentions and probably listen to some people's feedback. At this point, though, people are seriously running out of patience for them, so we will continue to see more of the latter posts and less of the former posts.

I just like how people assume riot is not listening. They don't have to say a word to get the information from the thread. Most game companies do not communicate directly with the community as frequently as Riot. The community has the patience of a toddler. Patches and such take time.

And this game is never going to be any persons or group of up to 200 out of a few million people's special little perfect snow flake.

1. Leave feedback that states your point without using insulting language (I know but they get the most upvotes right?)
2. Be greatful you have the option to
3. Hope for the best
4. Move on

Decisions based on threads are not going to be made on the spot so that they can make people feel warm and fuzzy by stroking off a few 16year olds in a flame post. They are made in a room with the rest of their team so they can talk and figure out how to fix it.

Everyone wants a game, that is optimized for them to play. Whether it is a 9 year old or 90 year old person. The game has the potential to be a true masterpiece but premature to call so right now.
Popularity can be deceiving. Taste is highly diverse.

It is the diversity of option and popularity that makes it a masterpiece. Even the flamers can't get enough of this game. I do a lot of art and some of the most acclaimed works of art are meh to me but in some cases I still appreciate the level of skill that went into them and am still willing to recognise that. Some people are to critical of the bad and quickly dismiss the good.
