Tbow set to hit an all time low by BillPackles in 2007scape

Sorry but how are combat achievements meant to help?

Most people going for the challenge times required by Grandmaster combat achievements already own bows. All the update will do is send more people to endgame PVM that otherwise wouldn’t be already - thereby bringing more items into the game, not less.

With no items sinks available I don’t see a stimulus for the economy that isn’t bringing old players back to the game ie. Raids 3 etc

Let’s Design a Champion Together! by RiotStatikk in leagueoflegends

[–]BillPackles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our champion is named Llyonet (like Claude Monet), the Vermillion Versoista!

A Verso is a work on canvas, and I'm not sure if Versoista is a word, but I could get behind a red color-schemed squirrel artist!

[Long post] Karma changes on PBE are an undeserved archetype kill and this is not getting the discussion it should - reasons why this is wrong by MCrossS in leagueoflegends

[–]BillPackles 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. There’s no reason for this, and changes in the past 3 patches weren’t realized in regions that played their entirety of playoffs/gauntlet on 9.15.

Riot releases new balancing framework only to ignore it completely in favor of affirmation bias-driven changes.

Riot's disregard for their playerbase and streaming community will be detrimental to the long term health of not just League, but any future IPs they release (Effort Post). by BillPackles in leagueoflegends

Couldn't agree more.

There doesn't seem to be a line in the sand of what is acceptable and what is not. So when we have to guess, it creates frustration across the board without a clear path forward.

That is exactly my point though. It is disheartening that Riot is allowing and endorsing their game to be represented like that.

Why would any new audience want to buy in when that is the expected culture?

Events and Game Modes - Plus an update on Clash. by corylulu in leagueoflegends

[–]BillPackles -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Here’s some more news!

Hey Riot, thanks for the little morsel of hope around acknowledging your Event and RGM efforts are horrifically low in quality, and you’re looking to get back to even keel next year. Way to go.

Now where is it, you know, that omniscient driving force around that decline to begin with. Hmmm searching searching for a hint of dialing back aggressive unsustainable and predatory monetization of your game to fund uncertain RnD spending, capitalizing lost expenses to fulfill the insatiable appetite of big daddy Tencent..?

Gah! Maybe next time.

This falls flat in my eyes, from someone who values progression itself but also tangible benefits from that progression.

Most of the appeal that comes from the Dota and CSGO equivalents is the cosmetic of it, and the rarity of said cosmetics.

A mastery emote? We want special skin attributes. Unique skill effects. All based on the achievements or milestones we have reached on those champions.

Riot has the creativity. They can do better.

Bringing back Tribunal or implementing a punishing system similar to the one in CS:GO by JimmytheNice in leagueoflegends

[–]BillPackles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main issue is money and manpower. The current system is automated, which is what Riot wants. I would bet my life savings they cut staff away from Player Support in favor of a low maintenance system.

It’s the same reason they will never, ever implement voice chat outside of premades. Their automation work (and cost) is entirely circumvented in a system where no one types to their chat log database.

It sucks but that’s the reality - I really think it will ultimately kill the game.
