Dear Riot games, this is my feedback as a long time customer of your games for 12 years. You are being scammed D: 1. The money spent into TFT Competitive Tournaments is excessive Saying TFT is competitive is a lie, And since we have different people showing up in each worlds TFT Competitive will never be branded and accumulate viewers. People watch competition, to see the most charismatic/talented/disciplined or favorite individuals battle it out But since the game and format is way too RNG based It's going to keep getting different people on the scene And it's never going to grow significantly like Valorant or LOL 2. The current growth TFT has is due mostly to its influencers. NA grew because they have fine, relatable, entertaining influencers CN grew because of that + they are self-sustaining KR has fine YouTubers, who don't participate in tournaments at all but have a decent fanbase. The growth of TFT has nothing to do with tournaments, It's just the hard work of your community involved. 3. It's time to adapt and grow, like the rest of the world. I recommend realizing the issue and the money be spent elsewhere. - Invest within your company, keep improving your product(game) quality -Support the current influencers so they continuously have content to spread out to their viewers - Invest in DIGITAL MARKETING, collaborating with amazing artists (musicians, dancers, decorators, etc) from Tiktok or Instagram - Set higher standards for your company. You have amazing game devs in TFT that can make innovation happen. Let them do what they are good at, by giving them higher customer retention + reach goals. - Benchmark from other innovative gaming companies and make personas of your clients. Different gaming companies provide products for different niches, you can absorb their ideas and classify the TFT audience, providing them with more customized products. Its very easy to do so! My messages are very stern, so it might get misunderstood, but I hope you understand I am doing this for your wellbeing Riot Games. I have a busy schedule now, so I can't really keep researching and giving you guys feedback for free sorry😅 Hope you guys do well :)

I see a lot of hate But I don't find ANY single one of you to be offensive 😎 no hate here Thank you for sharing your opinion Some people in this world Want to prevent the layoff before it happens ^^ Regarding the Riot Layoff of 530 people. Costs down is good + Profit up is good = Could've saved more workers now and in the future, simple economics ---------------------------------------------------- I'm telling this out of moral responsibility, I saw 530 people get hurt for no reason and I see more coming. This is EVERYBODY's responsibility. If you calmly read my messages they aren't really offensive :) I'm seeing people get fired honestly for no reason. Seems easily preventable So I'm just pointing some obvious truths For example, think about OPTIMIZATION. Why is the prize pool for worlds $456,000 And not $700,000 or $200,000 -> Do they know how much marketing effect they'll get for each dollar compared to other major digital advertisement mechanisms? Most other companies use a formula to decide such factors. How much money is being distributed for each regional prize pool for tournaments, and how many people are actually engaged -> I know tens of thousands of dollars here is being pillaged by individuals, faking to host tournaments and taking thousands from Riot, Even I could do that if I wanted to. Why is the Asian feedback not considered as much in balancing or improve monetization for the game? They are a gold mine of assets that could help riot INCREASE their size instead of downsizing. -> There is a myriad of proven and tested ways to infiltrate the asian market and monetize them, which is what most global companies are doing in other major fields, they just need to benchmark off of other gaming companies, wasn't that their specialty? And many more, BASIC questions. That is really easy to check and fix. ------------------------------------------------------- For those fine intellectuals who read this far which is the purpose this thread is for We can apply these lessons in other fields of business or our lives :) Thanks for reading, hope you guys don't lose out because of someone else's mistakes 😅 --------------------------------------------------------

11% of Riot Workers layed off This was foreseeable. TFT 1. Wasted so much money on unneeded events for years globally 2. Ignored Asian markets/community feedbacks for years(which is more than 60% of their revenue) 3. Poor marketing and no accountability mindset for mistakes Riot games did a genius job with LOL and Valorant, and honestly Valorant's marketing is still insanely good. But, I guess Riot is stuck with a really bad movie sequel in TFT and LOL, like Little Mermaid 2 edition.cnn.com/2024/01/23/t…

Making New Jeans wear a product (Sunglasses, Clothes etc) Costs around 1 Million Dollars a year (Estimate of 2021 based on Jenny from Black Pink) I am wondering what the Western view of this marketing project Worth or not worth? Would you take those odds? :D The Korean View on this is really simple Korea is a very strong Trend Market, meaning that if someone as influential as New Jeans, Black Pink, BTS etc. wears a product You can expect that specific product to be sold out instantly! Of course it depends on the type of product, quality and branding etc. That is why I thought it was a fun topic to discuss :D

I wanted to share this knowledge, This is from the Book "How Innovation Works" "Discoveries of Replacable Energy such as Shale Oil, was limited by Government Regulations" Regulations = Less Experiments & Exploration Innovation is a result of Experimentation & Exploration A Lot of people thought Oil was a FIXED resource at first, And that was due to the lack of experimentation and research! (MONEY ISSUES :D) Same reason why Torium isn't the major factor in Nuclear Power Plants, even though its considered to be "better" Its nearly IMPOSSIBLE to experiment and research with Torium, because of the astronomical costs and regulations we have to go through What do you guys think? :D

I heard in Business You don't want to deal with Physical Objects (Pens, Books, Clips etc) But more with Human Resources (Logo Design, Artwork, Graphics, Websites etc) The logic was because of Storage Fees and the potential of physical items not being sold? Any ideas?

I am sorry guys. I am not going to express opinions on TFT anymore. I've done a LOT for TFT the past 4 years. Because I love the game. But it mostly returned with burns/disrespect and pain. I'm stopping the charity work and the self-sacrifice. I recommend to everybody who doesn't know about this Invest in yourself. Not a game. Of course it seems most people knew this way longer and better than I do though 😂You guys are right :)

Respectful Balancing Essay -2 Patch 13.24B What your opinion guys? :D 1. Aura Items (Evenshroud / Ionics / Redemption) In TFT Set 10, Units die too fast. Even Tanks A Blitzcrank 2 Star (4 Cost 2 Star Tank Role), with 3 Tank Items (Crownguard, Steadfast, Warmogs for example) Dies within 12~15 seconds of Combat In Set 10, Where as Nasus 2 Star (4 Cost 2 Star Tank Set 9) used to survive 20+ Seconds in average (Because it was a Sustainable Damage meta) And That is considering Perfect Tank BIS, Not Aura Items. Aura Item's Effect disappears the moment the holder dies. And Since Units die too fast, people are tempted to stay away from these items entirely Now, I want to be clear *** Aura items are not Completely Useless in Set 10, They can be used Stage 2,3 to winstreak, And if you give the Aura item to a Secondary Tank behind the Main Tank, it can survive for a duration of time) But they are Relatively weaker than other BIS items and BORING because their effects are VERY limited. Making them unbalanced. Because most casuals players just clump position and put items in the front, play the game, and it just dies and feels bad. There are many ways we can answer this solution, Here are some solutions and I hope you guys suggest more in the comments below! #1. Make Armor Sunder, and Magic Resistance Shred Permanent on Evenshroud/Ionics. -> This will prevent people from overworrying about their carry dying and losing their bonus effects (More satisfactional gameplay experience for free) -> This can also allow people to put Shred items on Mobile units such as Jax and Akali, or Even Crowd Divers just to get the bonus effect! #2 Increase the Radius of Redemption, Redemption is a strong item, because it makes your frontline tankier, but it feels really bad when your unit RNG walks to the right or left (TFT walking Algorithm is Random, you can only 100% guarantee Redemption in a Few spots and Positioning) To give people more satisfaction of gaining the VALUE of redemption, I recommend increasing the Radius and Visual effect of it, If the radius is increased the Damage Reduction needs to lower to 8% however though(Steadfast Value). This Balancing Patch is more for Entertainment and Satisfaction of the items themselves, than Complete Competitive Balancing I NEED YOUR OPINIONS FOR THIS ONE GUYS :D (Entertainment is Subjective)

Respectful Balancing Idea - Word Essay What do you guys think? #1 Runan's Hurricane. There aren't any Auto Attack Speed Carries in TFT besides Jinx and Miss Fortune. Samira does not work well, Due to her Efficiency with Crit Itemizations (Style Stack Factor) Most Carries in TFT's Damage output is Ultimate Based, Meaning that they Scale with Infinite Edge (Crit Enabler for Ultimates the most) Ex) Ezreal, Zed, Caitlyn, Qiyana etc. Therefore Runan's Hurricane's Effect of Adding an Additional Bolt will very likely be USELESS, unless they increase it SIGNIFICANTLY to 70% Bolt Damage (20% increase) OR + 15% bonus attack speed (25% Attack Speed) and even so It will only be used for Stage 2 as a decent Attack Speed + Stat boost with Jinx ONLY. Therefore it is recommended to change the mechanic entirely, JUST FOR THIS SET. There are Three methods I recommend. #1 Static Shiv is an item that is okay for Stage 2, but not FULL WINSTREAK WORTHY. We can make Pair Runans with Static Shiv so it procks on the BOLT (50% reduced Damage), as an Item combination (Two item conditional win condition with Special Visual Effects), used to Win Streak For Stage 2,3 but fall off hard starting from Stage 4. -> In this case we need to lower the AD value, and raise the Attack Speed Value of the Item itself (25% AD -> Removed, -> Replaced for 30% Attack Speed 20 MR) #2 We can give Runans a BONUS AD Boost of 30% (To match Deathblade) 4 seconds after procking an ultimate, to provide AD Carries a route to get Attack Damage, without relying on the Sword Route. In this case the Stats of Runan's Hurricane Stays the same as the original version, just the bonus AD. #3 We can focus on the Melee Route and Match it with Sterak's Gage (Initially Runan's was designed for MELEE carries with High Life Steal and Attack speed) Where Melee Units with Runans Hurricane, gains bonus attack speed and lifesteal after hitting 60% HP. The numbers need testing on this one (Very complex unlike the previous 3) I would recommend Starting at 15% Lifesteal, and 40% Attack Speed. (Might need more Attack Speed, Less Lifesteal) Feedback is 100% welcome I LOVE HONEST FEEDBACK EVEN IF ITS BRUTAL :D

I apologize to the TFT Balancing team and the Entire Riot Games company for me being an Asshole, Blunt, Irrespectful, Disrespectful, Ignorant of the issues of recent. It was just wrong. And for the viewers, I had the wrong approach to Balancing I provided no Concrete Facts, Data, Proof/Evidence of what we should be doing with TFT, only my credentials, and words at best. And this was incorrect. If feedback were to be provided, they will be sent with respect and concrete data to support the claims. I can do better and be better. Thank you for your precious time reading this message.

Earlier during my stream, Someone told me I had to be punished, and tortured and constantly repent because I am an evil person. I asked him it hurt my feelings and stop, he said he had to do it forever and I should repent. There many replies that says I am mentally diseased and deserve to lose my job. I was hanged upside down once during my military service for saying Hi to my Senior with a smile. But man that was really nothing compared to this.
