It’s a buff program not a champion re-design program.
It is an update program, not a buff program. Some champions with modern reasonable designs that have performance issues get numerical buffs or small tweaks. Older champions with designs no longer relevant to the current game are updated with modern design sensibilities.
If people have used the character for years, the problem is changing that champ is actually taking away what a player owned/fought for. A dangerous impact showing the player has no control over a game they poured hours of playtime into. Generating huge discomfort and reducing real engagement of players , so eventually restricting any wish for further investment of time and money. Unless that new replacement is significantly better to the point of an extreme, a player will always be upset/ have reason to find issue. Their resource is being changed without their consent. The game is not kabams , it’s ours , we play, they just develop a sandbox and rules/challenges for us to engage in. If we stop playing the game, it ceases to be.
That's one way to look at it. Let me know when you find a game developer who agrees with you and manages to launch an actual game.
A matter of perspective. I can't imagine too much success with a for profit game where the devs legitimately don't have their customer's wants/needs/sensibilities as a driving force. If you aren't creating for your customers to get their business, then who and why?
By definition, anyone who doesn’t read or agree to the terms of service cannot be a target customer of the game. This game’s target customer base does not believe they own it and ultimately should be allowed to have their right to preserve what they invest in protected. These positions are prohibited by the TOS, and anyone who believes these things to be true is legally not allowed to play the game. The game was created for everyone else.
Dude, that sucked a little bit of the joy and magic out of the world. I don't think @RetroRocks was being as dreadfully literal as all that.
A good case of factually true but metaphorically wrong
