Well I’m not sure I agree with grouping EA and DICE so universally as you seem to have done. EA Is the publisher and I believe the bigger evil here, though we can’t excuse DICE completely just because of this.
I also don’t agree that anyone should actually shoot anyone for any reason but surely not over something like this.
I also don’t think your Riot/League analogy is anywhere close to accurate as DICE/BF4 is literally pushing what hardware can do on a PC and so will have many more potential bugs, the games are just on a completely different scale.
League has been out how long? Didn’t it have a nice healthy beta as well? (a real one, bf4’s was a demo and for balance not for bug fixes) And no money hungry publisher trying to make shit happen just to make it happen?
Did RIOT simply never make a mistake as you seem to imply or were you just easily willing to let thing slide because you love the game regardless?
You used the word spite incorrectly. Perhaps, instead, you have spite for them else they’d have to be the ones spiting or please share what you did to spite them.
To your last point…

I don’t know if you consider those official but I do. It should also be noted that the battlelog had a huge fucking message at the top of it for however long which is certainly official and yea..
Sorry if I sound like a dick, it’s late and your reply irked me for some reason, probably the lack of any positivity, like why are you even on this subreddit lol?
That being said, I suppose I generally agree with your tone as it’s getting fucking ridiculous.. quote/unquote TRIPLE-A games are compelte shit on release.. why do the games with the biggest budgets seem to have the most problems.. why does it always seem to be EA games that were pushed out much much too early.. does anyone even remember Sim City?
