Riot will NEVER respond to any thread of importance (and here's why)

Makes me wonder if Riot ever intends to give the top ELO beta players their icons. (Or give us more icons in general.)

@Morello I posted it already but i will post it again, sorry about it. I really want an aswer.

I like to make serious threads( I did some trolls too, but overall is criticism threads) about balanced champions, I take very long time to analyse and post it here sharing with the community points of view of the pro players plus statistics showing that a champion is not in the right place.

I posted that Rumble that is the unique champion that don't have any less than 50% win rate. In any elo and any region.

I posted that in MLG 9 champions were picked at least 1 time in every one of those 20 games. This show that might be some unbalanced champions having the "top tier". We see these 9 champions all those games isn't something that should be normal.

I don't want "Yeah you are right, lets change them now". I want " You may have a point, lets discuss." But everything I get is "Downvoted" "Cry more" and Closed Thread.

Do you guys have something against me? I am not a perfect player but cmon!

I still love you Morello.

Edit: I loved the Brazilian server, thank you!

It's threads like this that make me remember why Riot is awesome.

Still kind of miffed about Finales Funkeln, but "Final Spark" is just as good.

Never change Riot!

Yes, that's why we have new leadership here like I said earlier.[/c] That seems to imply what I said above.
Specifically, that means Leadership within the Publishing department that handles these sorts of things. Tryn is still El Presidente. The President of a company doesn't make every decision anymore than I design all the champions.

Sigh... I guess Heimer is like cancer to rioterz.

Just gonna quote my posts again, as I don't feel like typing another paragraph. This thread has ultimately proven my suspicions...

It is issues like this that give the community reason to make this thread. You yourself said that the stealth rework was handled poorly, but I don't see any connection made between it and any other topic that has been similarly treated. This thread is the culmination of these feelings from all these forgotten topics, and not all of them were mentioned in the OP.

Even in this thread, this question has been dodged multiple times. Maybe I am missing a post, but a shout out of " oh hey, we have someone working on it." after more than 2 years of silence just doesn't seem to put me at ease or make me feel like you have been listening. Wonder why.

Neither of these are things players want, but it is there.

And this is selfish, but between the stealth rework and Zyra, what is the "game plan" for heimerdinger players? They have had to deal with a champion that has not been viable for so long (top ranked Heimer player said he was worthless and stopped playing him, no one disagreed or managed to make him work competitively) only to find out that you have replaced him entirely with a newer, better champion that leaves no reason to choose heimerdinger over her. Most Heimer players have stopped playing him because you don't acknowledge their threads, or even that he needs help. The red post on you guys working on him was a simple "yea, he is getting looked at" from Morello, which was useless as we already had leaked dorans workshop giving us more info faster. I don't necessarily condone that test zone being leaked, but in this 1 case, I preferred it as we heard nothing from you for more than 2 years.

So what do plan on doing to address that so in the future people won't see their champs fall into such disrepair? Notice the word plan, it means that I am not expecting it to happen persay, but am wondering what you are considering.

Oh, Morello. You are making happy with hope for my dream of a spider-inspired character.

I'm sorry that I distracted Morello from your questions, but Lyte is mad at me and won't talk to me anymore

What are your thoughts on that?
I think there is no reason why it couldn't work if there is enough incentive to transfer servers - for example I considered going to the garena server, but because of location and routing I get 150 ping there compared to 180 on NA - not worth it when I also lose all my stuff.

Now I don't have detailed player statistics for league of legends, but if just 1-2% of the population of australia and new zealand we would have somewhere around 250k-350k players who at least live in english speaking countries (and thus presumably speak english). Then for further population there is PNG, surrounding islands, etc nearby. I believe in one of the aus server threads new caledonia was mentioned as well. And honestly, while I don't know how it would go for the high/top elo players, for the playerbase as a whole it is just impossible to even play against that many people - you would have to play 27777 - 38888 games without ever encountering a player you have played with previously.

For reference (with the above 1-2% figure I essentially made an educated low guess about) there have been studies showing that somewhere around 2/3 of australians are gamers (just gamers, not specific between pc or consoles), so I think that 1-2% figure is a perfectly legit low-ball estimate, and if the popularity of LoL catches on we could expect far more. For example the population of the NA server is somewhere around 10% of the population of the USA I believe, though this doesn't help much since the statistic is tainted with so many other countries having to connect to NA to play.

I can't speak for the pro scene but I believe we have somewhere between 3 and 5 "top" teams and god knows how many other no-names.

Personally, I would probably transfer if I got under 90 ping (half what I get currently).
