League of Legends: Fans are unhappy with the changes to minions, so a Riot designer posts player match results in response.

League of Legends is struggling amidst constant turmoil. Previously, news broke that LCK had withdrawn from the Esports Nations Cup and ENC, significantly reducing its entertainment value without Korean players, and negotiations remain unresolved. Then, news surfaced of them secretly operating a classic server, which, as the name suggests, is a return of an older version, intended to capitalize on nostalgia and attract returning players, hoping to ride the wave of popularity. However, this is unlikely to be a long-term development plan; the game desperately needs fresh blood, otherwise, it might truly die out in a few more years.
Veteran players are hard to please and don't like adapting to new versions.
Veteran players, or loyal fans, prioritize customer satisfaction, and their mood and treatment aren't always easy to please. They've been patronizing for years, developing a habit that can't be changed overnight. In contrast, Honor of Kings has social connections, and new content sparks discussion, becoming a hot topic within the community, worthy of in-depth exploration and discovery on how to accelerate ranking up. League of Legends players, on the other hand, seem to dislike version adjustments, as they affect their feel and established gameplay.
Veteran gamers who have entered the workforce no longer have the energy to adapt to new versions. A game meant for pure entertainment suddenly becomes a burden, which would drive anyone crazy. From the official perspective, the goal is to increase playability, but the situation is a dilemma, a dilemma of gains and losses, and a dilemma of development. The minion wave changes alone became the fuse, causing an uproar on the internet. Many netizens are attacking and mocking Riot's designers. However, Riot employees are not to be trifled with. They couldn't help but fight back, showing Chovy's match history, demonstrating the player's final madness, showing the world how he used the magic machine gun Cassiopeia to get a pentakill in the game, silencing all the haters.
Customized version conspiracy theory
It's understandable that there's such a big reaction to hero changes; they're just minions, so is the difference in experience really that drastic? Those familiar with League of Legends should have noticed the significant decline in esports popularity. As a result, the official team tried to revive the game by releasing numerous changes to stimulate its development, but this only provoked resentment from players. Especially since these changes are often made just before crucial matches, it feels like a conspiracy to manipulate the outcome and create a customized version, which has become a source of hatred within the community.
