2024.12.01 02:20 PrayForFriends Has Riot Games (League of Legends specifically) finally turned from a company created by passionate fans of games into a corporate mess with shifted priorities towards money rather than the creation of art and entertainment? (Raptured Jinx rant)
This post is not a statement but a question to the comminity and Riot employees.
The fate that most companies share is their tendency to lose the propensity for progress and innovation on which they were built. The product stops being a "love letter" and becomes money-driven, as well as less focused on excellence. Over time, the people who were at the forefront of the company’s creation leave, and the new people don’t share or understand the same excitement.
The question is: "Have we reached this point yet"?
In general, I would say no. Arcane is definitely a love letter from the talented and hardworking Fortiche studio and the Riot employees who were involved. Additionally, the new games Riot is working on are full of incredibly passionate people. An excellent example is the devs of their upcoming fighting game!
But what if we look at League of Legends specifically? Gameplay-wise, the game is going to get a big update this January, which is exciting. The devs also release VGUs for old characters, at a rather slow pace tho. New characters keep coming out, and the new modes we got this year, like Arena and Swarm, were incredible. We also hear a lot about an engine update scheduled for 2025/2026. Riot regularly releases dev blogs and updates to keep us in the loop, which is much appreciated. It seems like the game is still well alive and kicking.
However, the reason I decided to write this post is that I am appalled by the price, the gacha system, and the quality of the new Jinx skin. Everything about it seems to signify a downward spiral. Maybe it started with the overpriced Ultimate Samira skin or the Immortalized Ahri skin. When I look at the new Jinx skin, I’m shocked by how poorly executed the work is—how featureless and uninspired the skin is. (Check the PBE feedback thread if you want to know what the skin could have been.) Yet, Riot is asking for so much money for this quality. This feels as far away from the love letter that Arcane represents as humanly possible.
Most likely, Riot won’t postpone or rework anything despite the backlash since they don’t have much of a history of changing skins or systems after they hit PBE. A tight schedule, I guess.
Riot used to say they charge higher prices for Ultimate skins because more time and effort goes into their creation. You would think that if they are going to ask 10x the cost, they would deliver 10x the effort. They used to say a lot of things, actually. Here’s an excerpt from their recent dev blog:
"Over this past year, we’ve continued to refine what luxury goods are and where they exist in our catalog. Exalted skins are for players who want hyper-exclusive skins. Exalted skins are what happen when we let our teams cook, pushing our design and tech capabilities to make the best possible skin for each champion’s unique fantasy within a specific theme."
Naturally, I had high expectations, now go watch the Raptured Jinx skin spotlight on YouTube, and then come back to reread their statement.
What is $250 for Americans? Is it 1/6 or 1/8 of the minimum wage? I live in a second-world country, which means that $250 is twice the minimum wage here. Unlucky me. Despite this, I am stupid enough to fall for this. I’m a functioning adult, so I can muster up this amount of money—especially since I loved Arcane so much and wanted to own pixels to remind me of this masterpiece.
But when I saw the skin spotlight for the Jinx skin, I was so disappointed. It’s mediocre at best. If i am going to spend 250$ on something it's better be premium quality, not good, not very good, not even great, it has to be premium.
My english isn't advanced, so I used GPT to help me convey my thoughts and get rid of grammar mistakes. I accidentaly sent it the title of this post without explanation and this is what I got. So funny.
Raptured Jinx and Monetization Critique The controversy surrounding the Raptured Jinx skin illustrates this tension. High expectations for a skin priced at $250 (or its equivalent in local economies) demand top-tier quality and innovation. If such products fail to deliver, fans interpret it as a disconnect between the company and its audience. While it’s understandable that luxury-priced skins target a niche market, the execution—both in quality and communication—needs to reflect the price point and uphold the company’s reputation.
The disappointment with the Jinx skin echoes the feeling that Riot may be prioritizing revenue over the artistry and fan-focused vision that once defined its work.
Couldn't have said any better. Let me know your thoughts.

2024.12.01 02:20 Ksid- Привет я подросток инвалид ..
Ну чтож.. Тут я в первый скажем так тут я хочу сказать то что не говорю не кому. Да тут будет отсутствие запятых и прочее. Начну с начала мой жизни. В 2008 году я родилась перед моим рождением мама сильно стресовала иза роботы . Когда я родилась всё было хорошо до 3 лет я жила не зная что значит кататься по больницам каждый год или хуже того каждый месяц . Как вы поняли симптомы моей болезни начали проявляться в 3 года . Как мне разказывала мама левый глаз опух и начал закрываетесь тогда и началось мое вечное катание по больницам с надеждаю на выздоровление. Я живу в Сибири в маленькой деревне о которой не кто не знает и с учётом этого я не раз была в столице где меня тоже таскали по больницам . Там мне сделали два раза операцию по удалению упохали а потом сказали что это лечится медикаментами. До 10 лет я думала как то так " Да я болею но скоро всё пройдёт. " А сейчас я думаю о самовыпели каждый день. Я пью таблетки уже чуть больше года и в этоге у меня выросла опухоль и ещё больше чем была. И нет моя болезнь это не опухоль а болезнь связанная с нервами и кожей. У почти всей моей родословной по маминой стороне токая болезнь но у них она в другой форме. Вам наверно кажется что я просто ною но давайте я дам вам понять как я выгляжу . Девочки с средним ростом , волосами средней длины и шишкой на левой части лица возле глаз что означает что левый глаз всегда полу закрытый и опухший в добавок ещё и гноится ... У меня есть друзья , родители , родственники , брат и сестра которые меня поддерживают но это уже не помогает и не успокаивает и постоянное чувство будто они это делают из жалости меня не покидает. "Может ты не замечаешь всех плюсов что оно тебе дало" Плюсов нет я бы лучше жила как обычный человек чем посещала всякие мероприятия и тп.
Задавайте вопросы если постараюсь ответить всем.

2024.12.01 02:20 mymanmitch96 Beedrill/Venomoth Deck I've been having fun playing and having success with
I made this deck focus around low retreat cost and low damage cost.
Both Beedrill and Venomoth only have 1 retreat cost. This makes swapping very easy.
To take advantage of this, I have removed a staple X Speed as it's use will no longer be needed. This will allow other trainers to be used.
Because this a grass deck, this can take advantage of Erika. Combine this with 2 potions then you have 4 charges of healing.
I am using Giovanni as I have found it helped me out in more situations then other trainers. Every bit of damage counts.
Two copies of Poke Ball and Professor's Research as standard with most decks.
This deck takes advantage of Venomoth. A stage 2 Pokemon that does 30 damage with the effect of poisoning your opponents active Pokemon. This card is just like Weezing with a downside of having a lower HP at 80. However, unlike Weezing, Venomoth has 1 retreat cost. Making it easy to quickly switch to Beedrill.
With Beedrill, it is a stage 3 Pokemon that does is 70 damage.
But another advantage to both Venomoth and Beedrill is their attacks only require 1 grass energy.
This alongside the low retreat cost make it possible to retreat and attack on the same turn which you can repeat over and over per turn.
The downside is the stage 3 Pokemon as it takes some time to set up but with the 4 heal charges and quick swapping, it should be possible to get there.
You also have to be careful with Kakuna, the stage 2 before Beedrill. This Pokemon requires 2 energy to retreat so be cautious when using him.
I have found success with this in NOEX and some in randoms. It's nothing amazing but I have fun playing with it so I thought I'd share!

2024.12.01 02:20 No_Effective_5826 Was going well, now slipping.
I struggled with MDD and Anxiety most my life and especially during my pregnancy, which I was medicated and monitored. Post partum I've had some low days but been managing, so I thought.
Today, in a gesture of good will, my sister in law offered some of her BM stash, incase my son gets sick - my son is exclusively formula fed since leaving hospital, which was decided after much debate on the stress involved with EBF and how would I managed once I go back to work in 5 months time. I've had many nights where I've cried and felt like an imposter as I didn't have a natural labour and then chose not to breast feed.
I ended up getting a supply a few days after the delivery, and let it dry, though I will 'leak' in the shower a little and with little stimulation. So I feel even worse, as I am capable or breast feeding but feel like I've taken the easy route out.
