I tend to write in large binges and, to that end, I fucked up royally on the end. I'm very sorry about that as I don't proofread at times (I should. Hell, I use a sandbox when it comes to designing custom champion concepts and the like, except for the Fiora one and...well, that was so bad in the long runt hat I feel like I really shouldn't have made it, as I fell into EVERY trap when it comes to design and redesign). I just hope the end was 'coherent enough', and I should be mindful of such in the future. I'm so sorry...

As for my view on Scarizard? Truth be told I don't and won't ever truely hate a Rioter because they and I share similar roles (despite them doing it for a living): they're artists, writers, and everything else that requires a LOT of work and has a LOT of pressure under their belt. Even then I can admit that they have the occasional fuck up here and there, but nothing crosses over into making me truely hate them. Morello has his Anti-fun thing, which I only half agree with, Shurelia, toward the end of her thing with Riot, made a couple of bonehead balance changes and was behind many of the more dubious remakes in the past such as Kayle and her being less of a hybrid carry and more of a standard -something-, Xypherous and how his Wonka-esque tendencies tend to clash with some of his own designs which leads to many a huge mess (Renekton buffs/stagnation, Black Cleaver, et cetera), and some more. And I can't stress enough I don't hate these people).

With Scarizard, though? I have no idea where he came from with Riot and it really feels like he just jumped through the ranks to get at ambitious projects he shouldn't be given due to his inexperience. It's great that he wants to, but the Karma rework (and the Rengar rework at that) shows just how little he seems to know about some basic design choices that have gone into the game. He doesn't just share the blame with the Karma rework (Grumpymonkey, Morello, and Runaan) and it makes feel like he's just gotten more blame than usual, but...Keep in mind that while Karma was being reworked, so was Trundle and, to a degree, other characters. Trundle is by far one of the best reworks to ever grace the game comparatively, and now he's touching on Rengar who was/is in a similar boat to old Karma while going through his own sort of motions. To this end, Scarizard seems to strike me as someone who needs to just stop or slow down and just touch up on a couple things. Hell, I'd even love to talk with him and show him some of the things that have cropped up on the wiki that's just amazing, and hopefully he gets better because he IS who we're working with after all, but...I don't know. I don't work for Riot, and if I did I'd cause so much dissonance with my opinion it'd cause more harm than good.
