Riot against Riot

texthttps://clips.twitch.tv/QuaintAgreeableBarracudaJebaited-WBKQQdP0_frS5leV

First of all, I want to say that I love VLR.GG and have enjoyed this site as a casual reader for over a year. However, I am genuinely concerned that Riot has infiltrated the forums. By this, I do not mean the admins nor do I mean anyone on the VLR staff. I am talking about the users. I cannot believe some of these users lack any critical capacity to raise their voice against Riot and merely parrot their overlords. Remember when dozens of users were celebrating the Franchising announcement without any critical pushback of what was obviously going to be devastating for players and fans? It's truly shocking how many users appear willing to get on their knees and lick the corporate boot. The world is full of such mindless sheep, but I do not think these are mere lemmings. I think they are Riot employees on our community forum.

We have a responsibility as a community to be critical of Riot. The players cannot, or at least seem hesitant to, critique Riot. The players are likely terrified of speaking out against Riot for fear of being blacklisted as though they were dissenters living under a totalitarian regime. We need to use these forums to generate critical conversations that pressure Riot to implement changes when necessary. In the coming weeks, a large group of pro players and other behind-the-scenes members of the community will be creating an organization to anonymously yet collectively offer public pushback against Riot. Why is this needed? Frankly, Riot is run by a nepotistic corporate elite who do not understand the game at a high level of play and do not actively seek out critical input from the community. This is the same Riot that approved the ares buff and who have left a CoD player to make an MMR algorithm for our FPS ranked system instead of hiring admins (and paying for their healthcare). Our collective lack of voice as a community led to this horrific situation we are currently in where players who grinded for years are now left without a job or left waiting another few years to play according to the new age guidelines. These are but the tip of the iceberg. Let's avoid another Titanic collapse like that of Overwatch, and push Riot to avoid the failure that has become League of Legend's esports. The fate of this game is not just in the hands of a corporate elite who are apparently aloof from the community they rule like tyrants. We should not let this skin farming company with fancy graphics distract us from their horrible problems (no demo system?). The fate of the game is in our hands, and VLR's forum is our microphone (in addition to Twitter and whatnot, which we will be mobilizing in the coming weeks).

We have more power than we think. Maybe some of you are aware of the recent boycotts for Madden. We can do the same for Valorant, and we will help to collectively organize in the coming weeks to make our voice not only heard but felt (in their wallets). Riot, if you're listening, please listen more. We need you to listen and stop acting like tyrants. We love your game, we do not love you. Do not confuse our enthusiasm for the game for our enthusiasm for you. We are a community, and we will make sure you know that power will not continue to rest solely in your hands. This is not a threat, but a promise. Hopefully you see this as beneficial for the longevity of the esport. Move aside Riot's Plat staff, the grinders are here to help.

UPDATE: I've included this wonderful comment from #28 here on the post:

"I don't think that those Users are Riot people. The problem is, that this game/community has so many young people. They don't think about the consequences that franchising has. They are just fanboying the game too much.

The fact is, that franchising will hurt the game a lot. Just look at Overwatch. The game is great but there is no real chance to get into the pro scene.
You can't just have 5 good people in your team and surprise everyone. Franchise team will just play against other franchise teams.
This will also affect viewership. Not at the beginning or maybe in the first 1-2 years. But in a long term. It will just get boring because it's always the same.
And with less viewers = less people will play game or start new with it.

It also means that no new Orgs will invest in the game and their team. It's just useless. They will focus on other games.

At the end Riot will destroy their game and help games like CS:GO. Because those Orgs will invest there and not in Valorant."

TLDR: Do you think brim’s thick thighs are a competitive disadvantage, as most assume — a bigger, thicker target for opponents —or, HEAR ME OUT, could they in fact be an advantage as they tend to attract the enemy’s gaze and thus distract them from the head?

bro i see what you tryna do right there but i don't think people in vlr gonna care

I was hating franchising when they announced that cuz it just didn't seem good. But after updates it looks like it has high chance to work.
The stuff ur saying is dumb and I hope it's bait.

lmao

You need to condense and combine stuff from these paragraphs for it to be pasta worthy. Just a tip cause I want to copy and paste this on twitch chat when the first franchising game come.

We need to use these forums to generate critical conversations that pressure Riot to implement changes when necessary.

yes I agree on this one

thats the worst tldr i've seen

LMFAO, do you think we all are riot dickriders? We have criticised riots implementation multiple times on this site + other platforms and they have listened. If the majority thought franchising was bad, it would have 100 percent been voiced out. This is good for the longterm development of the scene.

not reading allat 💀

I don't think that those Users are Riot people. The problem is, that this game/community has so many young people. They don't think about the consequences that franchising has. They are just fanboying the game too much.

The fact is, that franchising will hurt the game a lot. Just look at Overwatch. The game is great but there is no real chance to get into the pro scene.

首先，我想说我喜欢 VLR.GG，并且作为一个普通的读者已经喜欢这个网站一年多了。但是，我真的很担心 Riot 已经渗透到论坛中。这里，我不是指管理员，也不是指 VLR 员工中的任何人。我说的是用户。我不敢相信这些用户中的一些人缺乏任何关键能力来提高他们反对 Riot 的声音并且只是鹦鹉学舌他们的霸主。还记得当数十名用户庆祝特许经营公告时，没有任何对显然对球员和球迷造成毁灭性打击的事情进行批评吗？有多少用户愿意跪下舔公司的靴子，真是令人震惊。世界上到处都是这样没有头脑的羊，但我不认为这些只是旅鼠。我认为他们是我们社区论坛上的 Riot 员工。

作为一个社区，我们有责任批评 Riot。玩家不能，或者至少似乎不愿批评 Riot。玩家可能害怕公开反对 Riot，因为他们害怕被列入黑名单，就好像他们是生活在极权主义政权下的持不同政见者一样。我们需要使用这些论坛来产生关键的对话，迫使 Riot 在必要时实施变革。在接下来的几周内，一大群职业玩家和社区的其他幕后成员将创建一个组织，以匿名但集体公开反对 Riot。为什么需要这个？坦率地说，Riot 是由一个裙带关系的企业精英经营的，他们不了解游戏的高水平游戏，也不积极寻求社区的批评意见。这就是批准 ares buff 并让 CoD 玩家为我们的 FPS 排名系统制作 MMR 算法而不是雇用管理员（并支付他们的医疗保健费用）的同一个 Riot。作为一个社区，我们集体缺乏发言权导致了我们目前处于这种可怕的情况，多年磨练的玩家现在没有工作，或者根据新时代的指导方针再等几年才能玩。这些只是冰山一角。让我们避免再次像守望先锋那样的泰坦尼克号崩溃，并推动 Riot 避免已经成为英雄联盟电子竞技的失败。这场游戏的命运不仅仅掌握在那些显然与他们像暴君一样统治的社区之外的企业精英手中。我们不应该让这家拥有精美图形的皮肤养殖公司分散我们对他们可怕问题的注意力（没有演示系统？）。游戏的命运掌握在我们手中，VLR 的论坛就是我们的麦克风（除了 Twitter 和诸如此类的东西，我们将在未来几周内动员起来）。

我们拥有比我们想象的更多的力量。也许你们中的一些人知道最近对 Madden 的抵制。我们可以为 Valorant 做同样的事情，我们将在接下来的几周内帮助集体组织，让我们的声音不仅被听到，而且被感受到（在他们的钱包里）。 Riot，如果你在听，请多听。我们需要你倾听并停止像暴君一样行事。我们爱你的游戏，我们不爱你。不要把我们对游戏的热情混为我们对你的热情。我们是一个社区，我们将确保您知道权力不会继续完全掌握在您手中。这不是威胁，而是承诺。希望您认为这对电子竞技的长寿有益。把 Riot 的 Plat 员工放在一边，研磨机是来帮忙的。

更新：我在帖子中添加了来自 #28 的精彩评论：

“我不认为那些用户是 Riot 的人。问题是，这个游戏/社区有这么多年轻人。他们没有考虑特许经营的后果。他们只是对游戏过于狂热。

事实是，特许经营会对游戏造成很大的伤害。只看守望先锋。游戏很棒，但没有真正的机会进入职业圈。
你不能在你的团队中只有 5 个好人，让每个人都感到惊讶。特许球队将只与其他特许球队比赛。
这也会影响收视率。不是在开始时，也可能是在最初的 1-2 年。但从长远来看。它只会变得无聊，因为它总是一样的。
更少的观众=更少的人会玩游戏或开始新的游戏。

这也意味着没有新的组织将投资于游戏和他们的团队。只是没用。他们将专注于其他游戏。

最后 Riot 将摧毁他们的游戏并帮助像 CS:GO 这样的游戏。因为那些组织将在那里投资，而不是在 Valorant。”

I assure you Riot has thought long and hard about this over several meetings with several experts. Some of your concerns will have come up that didn't tip the decision in your favor. They will not change their mind.

Why is this needed? Frankly, Riot is run by a nepotistic corporate elite who do not understand the game at a high level of play and do not actively seek out critical input from the community. This is the same Riot that approved the ares buff and who have left a CoD player make an MMR algorithm for our FPS ranked system instead of hiring admins (and paying for their healthcare). Our collective lack of voice as a community led to this horrific situation we are currently in where players who grinded for years are now left without a job or left waiting another few years to play according to the new age guidelines. These are but the tip of the iceberg. Let's avoid another Titanic collapse like that of Overwatch, and push Riot to avoid the failure that has become League of Legend's esports. The fate of this game is not just in the hands of a corporate elite who are apparently aloof from the community the rule like tyrants. We should not let this skin farming company with fancy graphics distract us from their horrible problems (no demo system?). The fate of the game is in our hands, and VLR's forum is our microphone (in addition to Twitter and whatnot, which we will be mobilizing in the coming weeks).

We have more power than we think. Maybe some of you are aware of the recent boycotts for Madden. We can do the same for Valorant, and we will help to collectively organize in the coming weeks to make our voice not only heard but felt (in their wallets). Riot, if you're listening, please listen more. We need you to listen and stop acting like tyrants. We love your game, we do not love you. Do not confuse our enthusiasm for the game for our enthusiasm for you. We are a community, and we will make sure you know that power will not continue to rest solely in your hands. This is not a threat, but a promise. Hopefully you see this as beneficial for the longevity of the esport. Move aside Riot's Plat staff, the grinders are here to help.

"The game is great but there is no real chance to get into the pro scene." 🤡🤡🤡

that is so untrue

just watch THIS https://youtu.be/rYFuPjZn6XE

Primero que nada, quiero decir que me encanta VLR.GG y he disfrutado este sitio como un lector casual por más de un año. Sin embargo, estoy genuinamente preocupado que Riot se haya infiltrado en los foros. No me refiero a los admins y tampoco me refiero a alguien dentro del staff de VLR. Estoy hablando de los usuarios. No puedo creer que algunos de estos usuarios carecen de la capacidad crítica para alzar su voz contra Riot y meramente repiten lo que dicen sus amos. ¿Recuerdan cuando docenas de usuarios estaban celebrando el anuncio de franquicias sin ningún tipo de respuesta crítica de lo que obviamente iba a devastar a jugadores y fans? Es verdaderamente impactante cómo muchos usuarios parecen estar dispuestos a ponerse de rodillas y lamer la bota corporativa. El mundo está lleno de ovejas sin mente, pero no creo que éstos sean solo lemmins. Creo que son empleados de Riot en nuestro foro comunitario.

Tenemos una responsabilidad como comunidad de ser críticos hacia Riot. Los jugadores no, o al menos parecen dudosos de, criticar a Riot. Los jugadores probablemente están aterrorizados de hablar en contra de Riot por el miedo de ser puestos en la lista negra porque mostraron su disenso viviendo bajo un régimen totalitario. Tenemos que usar estos foros para generar conversaciones críticas que pongan presión a Riot para implementar cambios cuando sea necesario. En las próximas semanas, un gran grupo de jugadores profesionales y otros miembros que están detrás de la escena de la comunidad estarán creando una organización anónima pero colectivamente para ofrecer una respuesta pública en contrar de Riot. ¿Por qué es necesario esto? Francamente, Riot está siendo controlado por una elite corporativa nepotista que no entiende el juego a un alto nivel de jugabilidad y no buscan activamente buscar comentarios críticos de la comunidad. Este es el mismo Riot que aprobó el buff a la ares y que permitió que un jugador de CoD hiciera un algoritmo de MMR para nuestro sistema de rankeds de FPS en lugar de contratar administradores (y pagar por su seguro). Nuestra falta colectiva de voz como comunidad llevó a esta horrible situación que estamos viviendo actualmente en donde los jugadores que han estado grindeando por años ahora fuero están sin trabajo o esperando por más años para poder jugar según el reglamente de esta nueva era. Esto es solo la punta del iceberg. Evitemos otro colapso titánico como el de Overwatch, y obliguemos a Riot a evitar el fracaso que se ha convertido la liga de esports de League of Legends. El destino de este juego no está solo en las manos de una elite corporativa que aparentemente se aleja de la comunidad como unos tiranos. No debemos dejar que esta compañía que cultiva skins con gráficos elegantes nos distraiga de sus horribles problemas (¿no hay sistema de demos?). El futuro de este juego está en nuestras manos, y el foro VLR es nuestro micrófono (así como también Twitter y quién sabe más, en donde estaremos movilizándonos en las siguientes semanas).

Tenemos más poder del que pensamos. Quizás algunos de ustedes están conscientes de nuestros recientes boycotts hacia Madden. Podemos hacer lo mismo por Valorant, y nos organizaremos colectivamente en las siguientes semanas para ayudar a que nuestras voces no sean sólo escuchadas pero también sentidas (en sus billeteras). Riot, si estás escuchando, por favor escucha más. Necesitamos que escuchen y que dejen de actuar como tiranos. Amamos tu juego, no los amamos a ustedes. No confundan nuestro entusiasmo por el juego por nuestro entusiasmo hacia ustedes. Somos una comunidad, y nos aseguraremos que sepas que el poder no continuará solamente en sus manos. Esto no es una amenaza, sino una promesa. Con suerte verán esto como algo benéfico para la longevidad del esport. Háganse a un lado staff platino de Riot, los grinders estamos aquí para ayudar.

TLDR: Aprendan a leer.

THE GOAT OF VLR....

bro said he loves this site

First of all, I want to say that I love VLR.GG and have enjoyed this site as a casual reader for over a year. However, I am genuinely concerned that Riot has infiltrated the forums. By this, I do not mean the admins nor do I mean anyone on the VLR staff. I am talking about the users. I cannot believe some of these users lack any critical capacity to raise their voice against Riot and merely parrot their overlords. Remember when dozens of users were celebrating the Franchising announcement without any critical pushback of what was obviously going to be devastating for players and fans? It's truly shocking how many users appear willing to get on their knees and lick the corporate boot. The world is full of such mindless sheep, but I do not think these are mere lemmings. I think they are Riot employees on our community forum.

We have a responsibility as a community to be critical of Riot. The players cannot, or at least seem hesitant to, critique Riot. The players are likely terrified of speaking out against Riot for fear of being blacklisted as though they were dissenters living under a totalitarian regime. We need to use these forums to generate critical conversations that pressure Riot to implement changes when necessary. In the coming weeks, a large group of pro players and other behind-the-scenes members of the community will be creating an organization to anonymously yet collectively offer public pushback against Riot. Why is this needed? Frankly, Riot is run by a nepotistic corporate elite who do not understand the game at a high level of play and do not actively seek out critical input from the community. This is the same Riot that approved the ares buff and who have left a CoD player to make an MMR algorithm for our FPS ranked system instead of hiring admins (and paying for their healthcare). Our collective lack of voice as a community led to this horrific situation we are currently in where players who grinded for years are now left without a job or left waiting another few years to play according to the new age guidelines.

The fate of this game is not just in the hands of a corporate elite who are apparently aloof from the community they rule like tyrants.

UPDATE: I've included this wonderful comment from #28 here on the post:

"I don't think that those Users are Riot people. The problem is, that this game/community has so many young people. They don't think about the consequences that franchising has. They are just fanboying the game too much.

The fact is, that franchising will hurt the game a lot. Just look at Overwatch. The game is great but there is no real chance to get into the pro scene.
You can't just have 5 good people in your team and surprise everyone. Franchise team will just play against other franchise teams.
This will also affect viewership. Not at the beginning or maybe in the first 1-2 years. But in a long term. It will just get boring because it's always the same.
And with less viewers = less people will play game or start new with it.

It also means that no new Orgs will invest in the game and their team. It's just useless. They will focus on other games.

At the end Riot will destroy their game and help games like CS:GO. Because those Orgs will invest there and not in Valorant."

TLDR: Do you think brim’s thick thighs are a competitive disadvantage, as most assume — a bigger, thicker target for opponents —or, HEAR ME OUT, could they in fact be an advantage as they tend to attract the enemy’s gaze and thus distract them from the head?

wait this post is from 10 months ago, i was reading everything WTF
