This could and should have been a great moment in League history.
Instead Riot decided to monetize the shit out of it.
I ain't paying over 400 € for a bundle that shouldn't have been more than a hundred bucks.
This is insanity.

But apparently that's not what they want, anymore, and they said they are looking into nerfing that, in the future.

Thats a huge "fuck you" to loyal skin collectors like myself who have to rely on that system to get rarer skins.

But hey, what did I expect?
Riot literally said that whales are "scamming" them through their crafting system to pay less for skins, the other day.

I thought that's the whole point?
You buy chests with a risk so you can at least re-roll the stuff for a good value.

Fun fact:
If I wouldn't have been unemployed mid 2020, I would not have made it through the first two battle passes of Valorant.
That's how hard they were to complete, at the time.

By the time they adjusted the difficulty, we had already decided to skip a couple of passes.

I've never been that burnt out from a video game, before, ngl.

I still think that needing more XP per level is a shitty concept that feels too rewarding early in the pass, while it makes the last levels feel like a part-time-job.

Why is there so little outcry about #RiotGames recent decision to mandate their intrusive rootkit "Kernel level anti-cheat" (which does not stop cheaters in Valorant) to be installed in order to play #LeagueOfLegends ?
It is always running. It is an attack vector for malicious actors' #malware . It is a #privacy nightmare. And people are fine with it.. what a dystopia.

Valorant really needs a reputation system.
Desperately.
It helped a lot in League and it should be a thing there, too.

Honestly this makes me so damn angry.
Not only because I was personally attacked, but because the sole reason these people type in chat, is making others feel miserable.

This behavior is just intolerable.
As a community we need to be better and call each other out, if we misbehave.

Be better than this.
Pull each other up instead of bringing others down.
And have fun gaming :blobcatheart:

Valorant chat screenshot. The messages read as follows: "u are the guy who is trash not me" "negative with reyna" "with lvl 220"

For context:
I was going 16/18/10 or something on Reyna in a unrated and I just congratulated them on the ace they pulled off.
I haven't typed anything in chat and they were AFK a couple of rounds before.
Therefore I was kinda happy they were back and going strong.
After that my joy died for obvious reasons.

The League queue is broken.
We just wanted to start gaming TwT

So we decided to switch to R6.
Their servers ALSO have problems right now and we can't log in.

Loving it.
