Dear Riot,
You gave us Premier over a year ago and have ignored constant feedback and countless suggestions from your community. This was supposed to be the “path to pro” but it’s an absolute failure.
Lets ignore that for a second and imagine what happens if you actually make it - you qualify for T2, surely now you are a true PRO PLAYER?
Not at all, lets face it - Tier 2 is dying. There is no incentive for orgs to build or keep teams long-term.
Franchising blocks rising talent from proving they can compete with Tier 1.
And the one time you could let people compete against each other in open qualifiers - you limit them to Tier 1.
No org sticks around anymore - and why would they? The only relevant event is Ascension, once a year, over two weeks. Who the fuck is paying salaries for that in the long run?
You built this game on the back of its community.
Countless people poured in their time, passion, and hard-earned money …. thousands spent on overpriced skin bundles that line your pockets.
Players, orgs, and staff deserve better.
Start giving back, or there wont be anything left for future orgs to build on.
