I’m sure they will keep communicating. Just not with pings.

the problem is that they constantly double down and don’t seem to improve anything…not too far off from just simply not having any communication.

But can they comment on the post itself?

Whats the deal here, i feel like i missed something lol.

PS. Also its good that you wanna share your opinion, but it would be nice that if we know what you are writing about, a lil summary and THEN your opinions lol. Its a big sub, we dont follow everything 7/24 u know?

Dear riot and game balance team
I hope this letter finds you well, autumn is almost over and winter is coming. The path has become harsher to traverse and I fear our journey will take longer than anticipated. With rashens slowly dissapaiting there is not much for us to hold dear as the PvE game modes are gone, seasons start cinematic was quite terrible, Passion feels gone from the game with random nonsense decisions constantly being added to the game with worse and worse addition to the roster such as veigo, zeri and ksante.
Your explanations of such horrible and baffling are somehow more baffling and horrible than what was expected to be explained, such as Yummi takes as much skill as Akali. I do not respect akali players but I can assure you I can respect a good akali when I see one as it takes hours and skilll but all that yummi required to be functional is that the player clicked once every 7 seconds and make sure they don’t forget they are playing League of Legends amidts their netflix binge watch.
I am sure you can use your 400million years of collective experience -which could be 800 million by now- very well by not doing such decisions.
The weather is cold however it is important to keep warm in these times and not give everyone the snowflake treatment as that would only help in spreading the cold and sorrow that you planted in the first place.
I can also see that we are holding dragon and are in a tug of war with the enemy for dragon soul, I must tell me team about Karthus ult. Oh my it seems my pings are no longer sufficient and I may need to write to them about the horrors of the future.
Oh my it seems that they are playing in full mute…there is nothing I can do help these animals in this cold hard winter and it seems they will be lost to the karthus ult and suffer lp loss for them underestimating the power of the harsh winter Riot has put upon us.

It is with a sorrowful heart that I must inform you that I will not be able to finish my journey this year as the conditions are too harsh and your neglagence, short sighted-ness, ego and baffling decisions have blocked my way entirely.

With regards
From top lane

Here is the thing… I don’t think they’re being that transparent. And I’m not talking about the Phreak thing, because while I think it was nonsense, I think we had bigger problems before that already, like the Mythic Scams. Like, I’ll say this: they were transparent enough to say that they did it for a small part of the playerbase and for the money, but when they announced the Ekko Scam they went like “We’re grateful for all of your support, and we’re excited to keep exploring this space and making improvements” and I was like, bitch, where? What support? There was no support, the scam was exposed as a scam and widely hated by the community and they’re acting like nothing wrong happened.

Transparency the willingness to learn and correct wrong changes is the dream

Yeah about that. They are neither transparent nor willing to learn as we have seen. And they definitely don’t correct their mistakes. (or they do 3 years later, mythic items)

Just another greedy company that destroys their game and legacy for money.

I would keep giving thoughts and read this reddit less. People have no concept of respect when they give feedback.

While we all know league’s commu ith is know for its toxicity let’s not pretend like riot over the years hasn’t had a hand in cultivating it. There is a reason league has such a unique reputation when it comes to its community being among the worst. Riot for a long time was content to just sit on their hands and do absolutely nothing about grieves or chat toxicity at the peak of leagues popularity in the 2010s even though it was a topic brought up constantly by the community because banning potential customers for breaking the tos is bad for business.

Riot went to great lengths to refuse communication and transparency with not just the player base but pros and streamers on many occasions, the people who make/made the fame into the juggernaut it is. They constantly make statements that are probably false amd when faced with proof refuse to double back because it is too difficult to admit when you are wrong I guess.

They condescend regularly even when they ought not to, sure there are situations in which the more rabid people in the community can deserve a bit of sass but rioters have loved acting as though they always know best. It does nothing to dissuade the reputation that the company is up its own ass.

I miss when we had a direct line of communication on the forums and the riot team was much more open and honest then they became at the height of their popularity. Bad changes back then came and went with out the grand standing and shit eating smugness thst they come packaged with now aways. It’s just distasteful.

I personally dont hate where league is gameplay wise i hate destroying the community interaction though and the corrupt mmr system though.

Add voice chat you dont have to speak or join. Remove rank and just use mmr for the rank and display the number. Its so funny how you play league as a 5 stack its a funny experience you play league soloq its either a fun experience or a miserable one.

Insert dearest karthus meme

I hope that he is doing fine. I totally disagree with his comment in the clip but I can do it in a normal way.

The way reddit makes fun of him and pulls him through the mud is crazy. He is still a human being. If I would get such a treatment I would likely kill myself, because my brain can’t handle it.

I do feel bad about it already and there is no hate towards me but him.

they know they are wrong but dont give a fuck thats the issue,

This is exactly the message that Phreak needs to hear!
