I remember pre-release, Riot were effervesnt in their desire to keep their community in the loop with both what they were excited about implementing and the challenges they faced. Maybe it's a natural consequence of the launch, but that relationship feels much more muted and didactic. While the lack of competitive is a big factor, I think a lot of apathy is being generated by the community feeling like it's no longer a two way conversation,
I'm sure if you go through Reddit threads there is the occasional reply from a Riot account here and there, but nothing to the volume and significance that the conversation took on in Beta and I think the desire from the community to engage in return has suffered as a result.
