is there a way to vote for upcoming freetoplay ??

Balgashang 09-25-2011 01:30 AM

what about letting the people pick the ten champs they want to try one week, then those champs are not selectable until all the champs have been gone through once before allowing somone to pick the same champ they already tried? That way it would ensure someone could not just pick the champs they're too cheap to buy each week?

the patches and the rotations should be on a schedule. Patches can be done on a schedule so we can plan when not to be playing aka every other well-run MMO. Not that LoL isnt well run, but in this case , you know there is patch content that needs to be added perpetually every week, and if its something urgent you can do it as a hotfix and keep the "regular" patches on a schedule. Having the preview champs on a schedule just makes it more convienent and less "random" for us that are not hardcore players.

You guys should make one rotation week with all the champions on the first week of the new season!!!!!That way you can give a variety of champions for the new members that are playing and it would make the game more exciting and fun! And when a new champion comes out, you should put them in the rotation on the day it comes out so people don't just randomly buy the character without them knowing they like it or not

for the simple reason of balance...

only a small portion of the community would have been able to give feed back on him...

2 things:

1. If the new champions were available immediately, it would make it nearly impossible for the people that actually paid for the champion to try them out that week.

2. A small portion, is still a massive amount of feedback.

I like this idead +1

doshi3 09-25-2011 07:29 PM

You should make Trundle free cuz he is kinda underrated but awesome.

Tel Daylithe 09-26-2011 09:18 AM

I love the rotation i think a set pattern would be just a se day of the week an they dont want to release the new champs because new champs are often bought with rp and even riot has to make some money or else the game would go down lets look at the free stuff they give us all the time i have four free characters from them I mean focus on the positive they are a great game company yes i hated waiting for dominion but its out now so im all good lol for a non pay game they have done an amazing job lets try to remember that and quit hating

WIdpaw24 09-26-2011 03:46 PM

id like to see diffrent champions so i dont have to buy em to try em like i havent seen yorick up and hes 6300 so a big risk for someone who has to influence unlock all the champs

manitup 09-26-2011 03:47 PM

bump

Deadliest Pig 09-26-2011 03:48 PM

I want swain to be free.

KokeCL 09-26-2011 03:49 PM

Yorick please!

Delanish 09-26-2011 03:51 PM

Honestly i like to see a champion of each type Gargas for example is one i always wanted to try... Because Rammus became on the list last week he became my favorite champion. Mord was pretty interesting to though i personally stink with him

PoorLepRecon 09-26-2011 04:08 PM

Woooo cass and urgot free week.

Aceofpwnage 09-26-2011 04:19 PM

Kochi God 09-26-2011 04:33 PM

Kiishan 09-26-2011 05:13 PM

RaphaelX66 09-26-2011 05:17 PM

I was hoping for LeBlanc and/or Yorick. Could you please try working one or both of those champions in soon?

Zero Melody 09-26-2011 05:19 PM

very good, very nice, very geilivable

TootlesTheGoon 09-26-2011 05:21 PM

Another week of owning half the champions already and the other being relatively boring/worthless?
Yup. It's LoL.
Oh well, Xerath coming soon so d(^^d) to that

TRP saidara 09-26-2011 05:22 PM

It really seems like Riot isn't acknowledging the existence of Irelia.

Trinimmortal 09-26-2011 05:30 PM

^Agreed. I've been wanting to try Irelia for about 3 months now >.<

Panky Stanky 09-26-2011 05:35 PM

I haven't seen Vlad in the rotation in a very very very long time. Not that i'm complaining...just stating :P

Weagle 09-26-2011 05:44 PM

I dont know how many times this has been said because I dont have time to read 300 pages but i would like to see maybe 1 450 IP champ a week and 1 rare 6300 champ, swain, twitch, anivia. Then maybe 4 1350 2 3150 and 2 4800 or another 3150.

nerdzerker 09-26-2011 06:15 PM

lame champ rotation master yi really ??? hes insanely cheap why put him free when he's basically free anwyay why not put someone else that we havent seen on here

Sinful Symbolism 09-26-2011 06:28 PM

What measures difficulty for champions?

HITM4N 13 09-26-2011 07:30 PM

well i have no problems with the way riot runs lol, played it for a while now and have been nothing but impressed with it, but one thing i do want to mention is i have not seen Renekton on any free rotations for a while and wanted to try him out, food for thought guys, keep up the good work.

H13

Scionzin 09-26-2011 08:59 PM

That's a good way. thanks a lot!

TWîTCH 09-26-2011 09:05 PM

This is **** i just bought wukong yesterday :(

Haixa 09-26-2011 10:00 PM

why no riven???

Peeeks 09-26-2011 10:31 PM

Shouldn't Riven be free this week? its been two weeks since she was released

The Bonecrush3r 09-26-2011 10:35 PM

Personally i dont think that champions should be free to play when they are released. Riot is doing everything they can to keep the game totally free and they are still adding features to the game. If someone feeling like paying money to play a champ when it comes out then fine..RIOT DESERVES MONEY.

As for the feedback, the people who are fighting against/with the champion should be able to tell how strong or weak their abilities/attacks are, and how well the champion can play the role they were assigned to, like if Leona was released to be a tank but had more attack dmg then a carry like xin....people wouldnt see the point of playing her as a tank.

Honestly if it wasnt for the free week when i originally joined LOL i probably wouldn't be playing Cho'Gath..Which is a total BEAST and can't wait for a new skin that i'd BUY...Since Riot has to make a living also.

THANK YOU, to everyone at riot for providing an amazing free game

k0stAd 09-26-2011 11:05 PM

We want Twitch :(

Yuki Frost 09-27-2011 01:07 AM

just woundering when we will see twitch or eve again

WrathOfJMan 09-27-2011 02:25 AM

In my opinion they should put champs out more evenly i c ashe free every other week but, iv'e only seen karthus free once annd iv'e been playing since January
