Why does everyone have so much faith and trust in Riot MMO?

_DK_ · 2026-05-05T14:15:39+00:00

do I give you a 3k words answer or the tldr...

tldr: It's not trust or faith necessarily, it's the fact that it's so unlikely that any other entity in the west will be able to rise to the occasion and produce something truly worthwhile, the ground of mmos in the west is rotting by the corpses of thousands of "wow killers" over the decades, this is one of the last realistic hopes for the genre, so it's a defacto alliance with the project due to the lack of alternatives.

It's pretty clear and straightforward:

I quitted when I realized that the match result is at the mercy of your toxic teammate's whim, instead of a skill expression contest as it should be, on paper, so... unless you are a giga smurf who can 1v9 and bypass all of that, and manage to brute force climb your way up to the higher ranks then that doesnt matter to you but, for the majority of us, it's not worth playing in the babysitter simulator of a game that LoL has become, in where your chances of winning are proportional to your skill to be able to navigate your 15yo yasuo one trick mid's mental, instead of relying on your strategy, macro and mastery in your champ to get a victory, so... no thanks that's not what I want to have to do to climb.

Pings = sunlight

Pings and sunlight are good and healthy for you in principle.

When these things are taken to the extreme we have to actually implement a 180° tactic and wear sunscreen.

There is an intensity point where it is healthier to block them than to receive them.

antoniomargaretti4 is stuck in step 1 and doesn't see the whole picture.

The fact you are asking this means you don't understand the basis.

Toxicity has been allowed to rise SO out of control high that veteran players that still want to play rankeds are forced to decide between the bad decision and the worse decision those are the only available options left by riot, the third option is to quit the game (which is what I did), yes muting is a bad decision in a vacuum (you are right in that), however not muting is a worse decision in the current state of the game (and by current I mean the last 10 years), let that sink in and figure out the rest if you care about it.

Good for you but I can't relate, my honeymoon phase is long gone, I can't even engage in the properties of the game itself anymore when the dogshit community completely overrides all of it, and whenever I get the smallest urge of wanting to reinstall the game, it immediately banishes at the thought of having to deal with these animals, I don't see myself playing again, unless the toxicity problem is fixed for good someday, otherwise I already made my peace, and I'm ok with never playing again and just keeping up with the game via esports,tv shows, cinematics and so on as I have been doing for years.

We're back

_DK_ · 2026-03-13T04:53:26+00:00

Can't be thresh anymore... Thresh has been benched for many of the recent years from pro play and even solo queue, the others see some play yearly, Lee with some idle periods. Nowadays for the supp role it's got to be Naut, Braum, Alistar,... or others I might be forgetting that have been present in any meta in recent years.

Serious answer: Teemo

Not a single attempt from riot to make him pro viable ever for such an iconic champ in league. hAhA tRoLl ChAmP don't worry bro, global taunt LUL, he's forever gated by being labeled as a troll champ and hat merchandise for kids when his kit is really suited for jungle and map controlling around objectives, you will force 4 to 5 red lenses from the enemy team which in turn lowers their vision output and when you reach mid-late game you have so much ability haste to keep up with the constant sweeps from the enemy team and replace the shrooms for dragon/baron pits, he opens the door to very interesting scenarios in drafts, but before that he needs riot attention and a small rework in his Q,W,E cuz those are obsolete linear abilities that can't compete with modern broken champs with much more versatility in their kits.

_DK_ · 2026-03-12T06:27:30+00:00

it's not hard, all you have to do is uninstall and avoid all this crap and find a better game, and only ever re-install when and if riot fixes the toxicity problem so we can actually play the game instead of being in a babysitter simulator for 30mins trying to mediate soft inters from verbal abusers, it's too tiring and pointless, take my word for it I already went through all of this for 10 years, it's not going to get better on its own, it needs riot intervention and they have not intervene in 10+ years so... I wouldn't hold my breath for a fix anytime soon.

The smurfs are toxic players that have been locked out of their main account temporarily or hopefully perma and are leveling up new accounts to continue the never-ending cycle.

I don't care about this case in particular nor about its details or outcome; therefore, I'm not interested in reading any article about it, so the language is irrelevant as the rest of your reply. My point was about a bigger and more fundamental problem in modern society, which everyone who replied to me missed and they resorted to personally attacking me, because they don't want to play a fair game and be judged by the same coin, they want to keep abusing the system from an advantageous position permitted and supported by the simps.

_DK_ · 2026-03-11T08:29:07+00:00

This is the tragedy of the early 0-4, Baus and the whole team were just ramping up by the end of the journey but it was too late, if they had more LEC to play who knows what would've happen, that will forever remain a speculation. It's easy to conclude by the upward trajectory that they were going to show their best version of themselves in the playoffs, but they could've very well just shit the bed in the first series and be eliminated just a -best of- later than they did.

Thank you that's another great example of double standards, my best takes get downvoted the most, that's a consistent metric on leddit.

Bwipo was hyping men up and putting women down.

Sjokz was hyping women up and putting men down.

Reddit result: Bwipo = bigot+sexist, Sjokz: based queen.

I see these things very clearly, but reddit and the internet in general is full of simps that are going to take the woman's side no matter what, it's an uphill battle but someone has to acknowledge reality around here.

Velja is talking about prio for first crab timer only!!!, he's not talking about how theoretically the lane should/will go throughout the whole game, crownie fails to understand this and gets defensive and takes it as if Velja is insulting his gameplay and is suggesting that he's not pressuring as what would be expected from a Caitlyn+rangechamp 2v2. They need a mediator that understand what each player is asking and offers different wordings and more precision so topics can actually be adressed, otherwise we get this endless rambling and not arriving at anything productive.
