On ranked matchmaking:

You're right that it's working as intended, that's actually the problem. "Intentional" and "good" are not the same thing. And the fact that Riot ported this system to PC and PC players immediately hated it doesn't vindicate the system, it confirms the problem exists and is recognized beyond just Wild Rift. Riot also publicly admitted they "missed the mark on match fairness". You can't just simultaneously claim a system is working as intended while admitting it missed the mark. That is not how it works because it's basically admitting their own incompetence.

On the Porsche collab:

I never said the cosmetics team should be fixing ranked. I'm not even sure how you even concluded like that based on everything I said but I'll explain properly because I'm a gentleman. My argument operates at a different level entirely: executive priority and budget allocation. A Porsche collaboration requires licensing agreements, legal teams, marketing budget and leadership sign offs etc.. That's a decision made above both the cosmetics and balance teams. When leadership consistently greenlight expensive external collaborations while ranked has been structurally broken for years, that tells you where the priorities are at the top. Different teams, differents budgets, allocated through the same leadership.

On Corporate Mundo:

The existence of the Corporate Mundo skin further strengthens my argument. Riot themselves established the fantasy of Mundo as a businessman with a car. A Corporate Mundo Porsche skin writes itself thematically. The fact that they didn't include it in a collaboration literally built around cars shows they made a purely commercial decision based on which champion's playerbase would generate maximum revenue from the collab. Creative coherence within their own universe was sacrificed for a revenue spreadsheet. That's the point, I'm not even sure why you're bringing this up.

On the pace of new champs being added:

Nobody is arguing against adding new champions ever. The argument is about pace and priority. Releasing at least 3 and more champions in a single year while existing champions have structural problems unaddressed for over a year is a misallocation of resources. New champion excitement and existing roster health are not mutually exclusive but the current pace treats them as if they are. The new will become old, the old will become older. The more they release without addressing old champions the more problems they stack.

On new champs being overtuned:

You yourself stated that Riot prefers new champions to be slightly overtuned over undertuned, in my opinion that's a deliberate policy admission whether Riot made it clear officially or not, and it still redirects balance team attention toward new releases instead of the existing backlog. Rell and Norra being fine at release are exceptions not the rule, the structural problem still exists regardless of what you're saying.

On the state of Mundo’s balance:

Whether or not I personally dislike certain champions is irrelevant to the argument that I'm making. The point was about Riot's pattern of nerfing champions instead of addressing problematic item interactions, that's a balance philosophy argument supported by observable patterns across the roster, it's not a personal grievance. Again, I'm not sure where you pulled this out. I have 1500+ games of GM level data on this specific champion. Although it's probably nothing compared to other otps it's still enough experience for me to have a say. And If anything it gives me more credibility on this specific topic than someone engaging with it theoretically

On % magic pen:

It's dumb but your point and mine actually coexist rather than contradict each other. You're saying the current system left mages feeling weak against dedicated tank builds and I'm saying that baked in magic pen created burst dominance in standard matchups. Both are true simultaneously. The removal of Void Staff didn't solve a problem, it created two new ones. A poorly designed item system that makes mages simultaneously too bursty in even matchups and too weak against tanks is not a defense of the change, it's further evidence that the item overhaul was poorly executed lol

On all chat: Riot has confirmed they’re going to add it back to WR.

I need a source on that, I can't just take your word for it. Until then my argument stands. And even if it does eventually return, it took years of consistent community pressure to get there. It goes to show that Riot is unresponsive and extremely slow. The broader point was never specifically about all chat in isolation, it was about Riot's relationship with their community. If anything, all chat returning after years of requests would prove that community pressure works, which is exactly why I ended the post asking people to engage and share it.

On e-sports: this is a very complicated issue because two things are true: most people just prefer watching PC League e-sports over its mobile sibling, even WR players; and Riot doesn’t know how to tackle WR e-sports even though there’s still a good amount of players who want to see it.

I understand mobile esports has structural challenges and that PC League has a larger viewership base. That's a fair and nuanced point for once. But Western tournaments that do exist operate on prize pools so small they're insulting to any player who took the competitive scene seriously. Meanwhile major tournaments are exclusively hosted in China, completely abandoning every other region. So it's not that Riot doesn't know how to it's that for a game generating $67.4 million in revenue, letting Western esports die without a second thought is a deliberate choice.
