hey all

just a reminder that a) changes to the game go through multiple people, and none of them are done with malice or ill intent, and b) there is a real human being behind the username. you can still wish another person well even if you disagreed with their work on league. i hold the subreddit to a higher standard than this and i'm kinda disappointed with some of the reactions here

also, glhf rick your lowercase legacy lives on

yes, you are allowed to disagree with rick's work. the "good riddance" sentiment is pretty gross imo

pretty much this - reddit is probably one of the most galaxy brain communities because of the investment and visibility into the development of the game and its community. redditors have had enough context into the history of the game that there's folks who vouch for us to (sometimes eventually) get things right

but also because of reddit's penchant for being counter-culture, the counter-culture is sometimes "supporting riot games", leading to the cycle of "well, actually" threads that pop up after controversies

reddit has so much nuance that comment sections, social accounts, and to a lesser degree boards, lacks

i think that's fair. a lot of the sentiment to unpopular personalities (even outside of league/riot) reminds me of the TLJ response, where some commenters would start stuff with "i hated kelly marie tran's character, but no-one deserves to be harassed off social media!" and i'm like... you could have just said the second part and still gotten your point across

i'll keep it in mind, thanks
