It's very frustrating to voice these concerns so many times and to see other people doing it too and at every turn get the same "well but it doesn't give us a lot of engagement/money" answer. This extends to other topics about the game as well. To see our personal human feelings ignored because "but the data says [X]" makes it feels like our voices don't matter.
We are trying to! Which is why we invested into investigations like outsourcing and porting etc. These things do take time though.
There are lots of asks and human feelings when players ask for more modes, better cinematics, more skins etc. I'm not in a place to say yours is more or less important. I can only look at the raw engagement data as a source of "how many" are asking for it.
The way I see it, the amount of players actively choosing to play with the content are the ones we can bias towards or it would become a game of following the loudest voice.
The reason I explain these things are not to say they are not important, but more so bring the realities of there are many many important things that needs to be done and we only have so much time.
On a personal level, I'm glad that Riot isn't an org that works Devs to the bone and pay us next to nothing. It makes the whole industry more sustainable and make game development a good place that...
