Really long tweet about
#VCTEMEA sorry
I'm really disappointed about the issues in our region so far, as people could have already seen from my previous reply
A lot of the issues we're dealing with now have been ongoing since the beginning of franchising. In the first year or two, we raised concerns and were told to โbe patient.โ But now itโs year three, and nothing seems to be improving.
Hardware/Monitor issues โ Iโll be honest: the gear weโre playing on could be a lot better. Weโve been giving feedback on the monitors for ages, and I honestly donโt even know what the reasoning is anymoreโbecause every time we bring it up, weโre given a different answer.
The PCs arenโt optimized, settings change constantly, and most tech pauses are due to the game stuttering so badly. IT checks it and if they see it or not - we just keep playing. No fixes.
This week, we were told weโd be playing online on stage with 30 ping (I get 7 at home) to combat performance issues and tech pauses. But thatโs not going to solve anything if the core issueโthe hardware isnโt fixed. Everyone, LAN or online, is still experiencing stutters.
Itโs honestly shocking to see every other region with superior PCs and monitors, while in EMEA weโre stuck with setups from League of Legends. And when we bring up performance issues, the answer is:
โBut league of legends doesn't have this problemโ
Crowd โ Theyโve removed the crowd for Wednesday games. Riot has their reasons, but we werenโt even told ahead of time. We found out the same day as fans did.
I feel bad for rookies making their tier 1 debut with no crowdโit takes away a huge part of the experience. And itโs worse for fans who traveled hoping to support their favorite players live.
Issues remain unsolved, and more keep getting added. I'm tired of hearing "we'll look into it/we'll fix it soon"
Weโve raised these concerns every split, every year, hoping for progress. I truly hope that now with everyone aware of these issues real improvements can finally happen. I'm happy you guys are making the Player Council where we will be more heard and hopefully the issues are going to be fixed, but for now i have to tweet this โค๏ธ
