It was never banable and they said that they didn't overtly bless it beacuse they didn't know if it would cuase damage to the client peoples computers or their servers. I guess if they find out that it does they'll make it a banable offence. | ||

When you buy a champion, and you're waiting for that purchase to process--the difference between 1 second and 2 seconds is nothing. Who cares? That's what I call interface design. Also of note. So many design decisions that would be bad regardless of whether bugs or latency were involved: examples include the way accept deny game readying locks out the entire client whether you press anything or not, the way desire to monetize keeps us from being able to edit rune pages in champ select, etc. | ||

Can't wait to get off work and play 5v5 mirror ARAM all day. | ||

Spectator client taking as long as it did to come out is almost certainly related, as well as the replay system(I know it's apparently ready and limited by bandwidth issues now, but it wasn't even ready until earlier this year). | ||

It's a resource issue, they make more money selling champs/skins, than they do improving small tidbits of Adobe Air. | ||

We're now years into the game's life, and they had said early on after launch that unfortunately moving to a different code base would probably take years of work. They could now be seeing the benefits of that labor, and you can't really know if they'd be making more money for having done it. Would they have missed that precious explosion of popularity as DotA2 crawled along in closed beta and HoN wallowed in shit? Literally no way of knowing the answer to that(and other) questions. The thing is, I'm not offended that they do what is best for their bottom line, but I do get a little annoyed when they make up shit to try and pretend they aren't behaving as such primarily for financial reasons. This goes for far more than just this conversation about the front end client as well. | ||

NOT BETTER FRONT END CLIENT EXPERIENCE!" | ||

I'd be willing to bet that Riot actually has more developers assigned to client/systems than champion coding. Fixing things that were built broken to begin with because they were developed all at once to work as soon as possible is just an impossible hell hole that everyone who's been involved in the new "agile" paradigm has forgotten about. | ||

Ya obviously they won't say that, and I'm not a PR expert so I can't say what the ideal statements are, I can just say that as someone that's played the game for a long time now I almost never like what they say. So... I want them to try something else? =p On October 09 2013 05:27 xes wrote: Its way way way way way way way easier to introduce new, independent features than it is to fix broken infrastructure.

This is the part where you hope they have a team(don't even tell me they don't have money) with the sole job of recreating the game on better architecture, just buried in some office slaving away(like good little overworked code monkeys always are), while they keep things business as usual until that can launch as LoL2.0 or something. | ||

Just re-write the entire thing cleanly, that couldnt take more then a few months. Cleans up all the shitty issues with it, doesnt take as many resources as an entirely new client and makes everyone happy. but yes, i was arguing in another thread earlier about Riot caring about the financial side and not the rest. Its the same reason the world championships ran so fucking well but in the background EUW blew up for the 6 hours prior and went down an hour before a broadcast.  | ||
