Tell Yourself How Lucky We Are
Hello, this is your friendly Gigglebytes here to tell you about how lucky the players of League of Legends are! If somebody on their first day of the boards came and took a look at the top threads they would see a lot of negativity, and if they looked every day they would see a lot of negativity come up every day. Guys, we've been spoiled. Do you realize how many boards have members of the company that look and comment on the boards nearly EVERY DAY? Next to none would be your answer. Do you know why? Because when people are satisfied they tend to think that nothing else needs to be said, but when people are unsatisfied they raise all sorts of hell. Not many companies have the patience to deal with that! How lucky are we, right? Furthermore, the boards community does not represent the community as a whole! I have many friends that play League and I am the only one who spends time on the boards. I would guesstimate that a small percentage of the community is actually on the boards, not to mention that we are not the only board for this game! Riot has so many other boards to take care of too! Lastly, I want to point out that people are more inclined to listen to what you are saying if you are not rude. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they had a friggin drinking game over how many times Riot is accused of showing favoritism towards a champion. Please, this is not the way to communicate your emotions. Remember, in an argument using "I" statements (I.E. "I feel as if the moveset of Lee Sin makes it comparatively hard for me to jungle effectively with other junglers.") and not "You" statements (I.E. You overloaded Lee Sin's kit to make it completely unfair!") both statements attempt to communicate the same message but using "I" statements make it sound so much less accusatory. Please make an effort to remind yourself that we are one lucky community to have a company that pays as much attention as Riot.
TL; DR: Guys, many gamers would give their left arm to have their game company communicate as much as Riot does, so try to be kind when making a thread.
Thanks, Gigglebytes
EDIT: The drinking game was a joke :p
on the recent 5.3 Patch Notes)) who are much more efficient in knowing how to balance champs. That and I can tell when Riot has fucked up on certain champs, such as
, when I don't see those champs as often as I have in previous seasons. So when it comes to showing qualification, us players don't need to show much when Riot is failing to do so themselves. You want to hear my most genius idea on how to balance the game? Here's one: Listen to and work with the fuckin' players that make your game possible!
. He was my first champion. I thank you for giving him above all others the second and possibly (to me) the best so far ultimate skin.
. He was the first champion way back in the day I had fun with. I thank you for the day he went down to 4800 IP so I could buy him. I also thank you for his visual upgrade to his splash.
. He's not evil, he's just misunderstood is all.
because he's so adorable and fun.
. He was my first main, and although I don't play him as often anymore, he definitely kept me into this game before I hit 30.
. She is my current main, and by far my favorite champion. Her combination of not-too-much utility, not-too-much damage, and low skill minimum but high skill cap makes her one of the most rewarding and fun champs to play as, and gives her players the knowledge that she isn't a high priority to nerf anytime soon, and lets those of us who play her free to have fun with it.
. He was the first tank I ever played, and remains my favorite for his low profile early game potential to win trades, and the poke required to keep his advantage. The combo of passive trade DOT, a large slow, and turn around power makes him fun to play regardless of your lane opponent.
. She is my favorite ADC, and her combination of range, decent base attack damage, high damage passive, and high damage skill gives her the ability to poke from afar, and have a reasonable burst ready for rainy days. The burst is on a long cooldown, and her attack speed is slow enough that she has clearly defined windows of vulnerability, while her short mobility spell is enough to let minor mistakes slide, but not enough for huge mistakes in positioning to go unpunished. She has a low skill cap with her easy farming and poke, but the the skill needed to achieve her best plays is higher than most champions I have seen.
