This is nothing, wait until you see the chants of Japanese fans in Tokyo! They are notorious!

'Reporters' afraid that if they criticize lord rito they won't get access/special treatment :(

George, we need you... we need you now more than ever. More than EvrMoar... More than BabyJ... we need you NOW

PUT RITO ON BLAST VIA DOT ESPORTS, LET THE RIOT AGAINST RIOT COMMENCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

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.

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?

Get Lord Leo's name out of your dirty mouf

Sorry guys, I can't stand seeing Lord Rito be bashed by members of the VLR 'community'...

LOCK//IN IS MEANT TO BE INTENSE... ITS BRAZIL, ITS MEANT TO BE HOT... ONLY THOSE WHO CAN STAND THE HEAT CAN SURVIVE... ITS A NEW GAME MODE... I THINK THEY SHOULD THROW AWAY THE FANS AND TURN UP THE HEATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

In all seriousness, Riot only makes hundreds of millions in profit off the game each year... That's NOT enough for AC in Brazil... Do you know how much Leo Faria is getting paid? He is only getting paid around $750,000 a year... YOU EXPECT HIM TO BE ABLE TO DESIGN THE PERFECT FORMAT THE FIRST TRY AND TO HAVE AC FOR THESE SO-CALLED PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS? Cmon man, Rito small indie company and we need to be more supportive of them so they take good care of us

I'm sad to see they fired EvrMoar, the head of ranked. I think this is because the community was a bunch of cry babyJ's who don't understand that Lord Rito only acts benevolently and only with the interest of the community at heart. As one famous VLR user said: "ranked is designed by engineers who compare different system and agree which is the best based off statistics" and that's good enough reason for why we don't have a demo viewer, acct verification, admins to moderate pedos/cheaters/griefers/alts, etc etc

TLDR: Please stop harassing our corporate overlords, they are so sweet and cute and kawaii and they really care about the community and totally don't just do a good job only with cosmetics but dumpster fire every other aspect of this game
