And before you say testing proved this or that about the Xypherous system, release LeBlanc went through all your testing hoops, and she was the most broken thing since Chernobyl. Why can't you put a rework on the PBE and let us, the people, tell YOU if it's good enough or not? Because in two years, yes, one of those systems you guys threw out WAS perfectly fine. Nobody can be incompetent enough to not have one good idea in this amount of time. Not even the people who balanced LeBlanc.

What about Magma chamber? has it been all together abandoned or is there still a bit of hope left?

They all sound terribly boring, one-sided, or just plain stupid. Riot has very intelligent people on the balance team that have done a great job. Why not trust them?

I think a majority of people would be happy with something like a thread that only Reds can post in for a particular topic, but it's update every week with just what has been going on. I don't know if I'm actually expressing this right but let's take PFE for example:

Just a thread in the Announcement section updated by people intimately familar with the project. Every week someone from the team takes 5 to 10 minutes to post what's currently going on:

"Week 15 : Finally got some of the particle bugs sorted out, but his W is causing weird lag/game crashes. Trying to figure that out now while refining movement animations"

"Week 16: W causing the game to crash is fixed. Nowever his Ult now inexplicably causes a large Teemo head to shoot through the map instead of a laser. Here's a quick video link to show what I mean"

"Week 17: No real exciting updates, just more polishing and brainstorming. "

I'll agree that this community has an issue with any change made on anything. But the reason people get upset over this stuff is because there are large gaps in time where nothing is said only to finally get an update of "Nothing has changed". As players we can't help but think as our first instinct "WTH have they been doing this entire time?!" Getting regular updates helps the sting of a set back because yea, it sucks to have to wait even longer for something, but at least we have a general idea why and there is proof there is active work being done.
