They already gave 10 free ip boosts, yet the community wants more?

People whining and complaining for free stuff sounds like the usual for the internet.

The usual for the League community. God they are such whiny little children.

lol i was playing fine by the end of last night but today i cant even go to the main site xD any1 know whats going on? every server of thiers is down lolcant go to forums or anything xD

Yep. EU West didn't even get the latest patch yet due to all the issues this week. Hope Riot can fix this up, the community is outrageous. They have no patience. Poor Riot.

Yes every community has it, but League's community is horrid. It's much worse than most I've been a part of, and I've played plenty of online games and such. It's not just about the downtimes for them, they'd complain about any action Riot performs.

But I mean Riot has always compensated us for issues like these. Got about a 3-hour downtime like a month or so ago and they gave us a free unlimited IP boost.

Who the hell is thumbing down? xD

I -know- it's not just LoL. I specifically said LoL's got one of the worst communities from my experiences. I didn't say it was by far the worst, as such when I mentioned: "It's much worse than most." Anyone who's been a part of it for a decent amount of time can also agree to that. In any case, this article is based on League's troubles, so I'm simply stating that I feel bad for the dev team. Every little change made gives at least 100 complaints. The players are harsh, the raging fierce.

I understand fully why they compensate, free game and all. They know what they are doing. But with all they do for the fans, they are still treated like shit. That's the incredible part. This game in particular is extremely popular, more-so than the other mentioned F2P communities. The last head count was marked at 32 million players logging on a day, and that was taken at the end of last year. It's easily and obviously more today. Tournaments are often held, streams get thousands upon thousands of viewers. This game is without a doubt successful, but to top all that off, we unfortunately have this community full of babies. That's my concern here, that their hard work and efforts are downplayed. As you can see in the third update, Riot did indeed work around the clock to get the servers up and running again. These silver spoon-fed players more than likely wouldn't appreciate that. The proof is in League's forums alone.

Yeah the higher-ups would likely get legit upset at these downtimes. For the players though, It's a lot of extra unnecessary pressure and stress to throw on the devs. I just wish the community would ease off even just a little bit, especially towards the F2P teams. I mean hell, by the end of the day, the saying, "you get what you paid for" should still be viable, right? xD That should get through to their heads...one can hope.

Anyone know if it's fixed? Because I can login instantly and find a match in like 15 seconds.

The problems are..."fixed". As of last mention about 80% of players who were missing runes/etc have been taken care of, and the servers are mostly stable with a couple little hiccups, though overly long queue times are the norm right now.
