Isn't that the whole point of the PBE? I mean, I was always under the assumption that Riot created the beta so that people could playtest their releases and voice concerns about the kit of new champions, new items, nerfs or buffs so that they could get actual player feedback before putting it live. And what they actually want is all the stuff you might say, even if they answer or not.

Also, Riot employees have always been sort of focused on answering the long posts. They normally contain more general concerns, adress them more extensively or introduce new arguments/concerns that haven't been already pointed out. Not to mean they don't read shorter ones, though.

And yeah, Riot employees love the word counterplay. It's most likely for solid reasons, since they do try and make counterplay options to everything in the game, but one has to imagine some sort of altar hidden in the depths of the company with "COUNTERPLAY" written on it with huge golden letters. They sacrifice minions there twice a day, I'm sure.
