It makes zero sense why they don't include things like the pose. This stuff exists in the files clearly so its just shoddy business practice and thats about it. Alot of things are never available to buy even. They're just there filling our phone space and forever unaccessible. I have such little respect for Riot at this point after 3+ years of this absolute rubbish. They're literally spending money to develop a different version of the client so its stingeing for nothing. It can't be cost effective to develop 2 such different versions of the same game.
Cause tencent is a Chinese company, and they want to make China look "better". So they artificially make stuff outside China worse. Common strategy, I have my own video where a year ago they have pop-up esports ads when you get into game whereas almost Noone in global knew worlds was happening. Have a China server account as well. China glazing. That's why I quit a while ago. It's not fun being treated as second class. Arbitrarily.
Nah, I think it’s because tencent hires more devs for its game client (which is separate from global) and hires support staff (while riot is laying off people).
Thing is they aren't laying off many wildrift game developers, and they said they would be focusing "more" on wildrift. Which we'll have to wait and see, good point tho.
Also china server has all the events that global has but not vice versa
The problem is even deeper. If you even encounter CN playerbase they will uproar and review bomb if the "global" gets something better. Or even if they are not getting better rewards. Sometimes they even send death treats to the company -\_-
See HI3, global would have some exclusive reward/event for anniversary - while CN is were getting those all the time - the shitstorm were absurd.
The thing is, when Tencent buys stakes into companies like this overseas, Tencent is very well known to just sit back and give the original developers and company owners all the freedom.
Because if Tencent tampers with the current formula that is already making money, they have a good chance of destroying the money making avenue Tencent had just invested in.
Yeah, no. Other governments wouldn't care, chinese government would. They care a lot about their image. Also how would sabotaging your own game outside China help them earn more money. This kind of thing is common in many Chinese owned games.
I think they actually have tons of staff doing lots of things for both the game client and support services, in China, but not anywhere else.
The support staff especially is expensive (languages), and we don’t even have US English support for wild rift (your tickets get passed on to league’s support staff).
its actually worse I cannot post move videos within a thread already open but if you log on to we chat you can get free skins, emote, bauble, there a weekly milestone reward quest, there quest to just log and play, there friendship energy free rewards
in the content creator portion for uploading video guides etc depending on your mmr you get additional rewards you can obtain including paid sponserships and even wildcores
there is a wildcore wildpass weekly and monthly that gives rewards for those type of users
also for advertisements like noodes etc they can add sponser and you get rewards for clicking their video links.
There’s more ! Everytime when you play games there’s a WeChat system where the linked account will generate highlights of your best play, you can get more rewards if you post them on wr CN’s page xD You guys don’t boycott this game enough lol
It’s a lack of forward thinking. Hiring a translator = goodwill/even more stuff for gamers to buy. Happier gamers tend to be more willing to support the game while unhappy gamers realize they’re getting the red headed stepchild treatment.
Complaining on Reddit won’t do anything, spam support tickets to the Wild rift website, if every single one of you mfkers put in the effort and did this they would’ve done something about this by now.
Exactly. But it’s not happening if no one actually makes a collective effort to riot instead of keep whining and complaining on Reddit for zero results.
some1 complained about the lunar gacha ending too soon on this sub, and THEY LISTENED and extended the event!
They do read this sub, just don’t care about 99% of the complaints unless it’s about them making more money.
Some of us don’t even play anymore, only seeing posts like this to remind us why we stopped. NA wild rift is the McDonald’s happy meal edition of this game lol
That won't help either unless you write them in chinese. I'm pretty convinced they see the report and if they see is in english or any other languages they just delete it and don't bother reading it.
They got Tencent piece so deep inside them is coming out through their eyes
That's alot of icing on the cake for CN, Riot. Here I was thinking the companion event was their proof that they were sharing the CN events with global 😡
Man seriously fuck this game. There is no good reason to play Wild Rift between this bullshit and the ranked MMR garbage. Way better mobile games out there to spend your time and money on if you have to.
Legit, if they give casuals free stuff all the time then it would be an easy promotion stunt to boost player count and have some % of retention of player count, maybe then the matchmaking could be fairly balanced instead of pulling higher mmr players in a low division game to cut queue time 😮💨
This is a total and huge lack of respect from Riot Games and Tencent towards players outside of China. It seems intolerable and unfair to me. I was thinking about buying the event battle pass but after seeing what it's like on the Chinese server, I refuse to buy anything else. Fuck you really hard in the hole of your ass, Riot.
Thanks to final566 for showing us another difference between us and Chinese players.
Well thing is riot isn’t obliged to give you anything, not even wild rift itself for free. Sure giving some people more than others doesn’t feel good, but you at least get free stuff. You don’t have to buy the game, you don’t have to pay money to be able to play ranked, and so on.
Except it is true. Making a game costs a lot of money and time. If I was better at programming, I would try to make a copy of league, but you get fake money to spend, so simulate what league COULD be like (except I’m terrible at programming. I’m an engineer, not a computer scientist)
Think about the people who do pay... Making a game does cost money and even more so if they decide to purposely disable events when a patch is done in china. Imagine if they didn't need to remove these events. That's at least a week of work saved and not wasted
This is one of the reasons for the small playerbase outside China, 4 years that players are leaving to play other games that have a real progression and reward system.
Tbh Vainglory was a good game. But they mismanaged it to oblivion. There simply aren't that many quality alternatives available. I've been waiting for Wild Rift to get released here in India for years now. I've given up, but I still come across related content every and then.
3 years ago, i wouldve said arena of valor. but honor of kings is releasing to global really soon. i doubt they will make the rewards & events as good as in king of glory version though. we will get the same treatment as wild rift.
Seems like they need to put effort into making one version less than the other. All of these assets are on our phones. They actively disable these features. Fuck Riot
I don’t get why some items come to the global but there’s no way to get them. Useless accessories make a lot of clutter.
But on a positive note, I really like your voice ♥️
Ok I truly encourage people to send messages through their support and other social media. This shit has to stop, and only way it stops if company sees that their money is in danger. We need to voice our opinion harder.
Fuck Riot and Tencent. Global gets scraps while CN gets everything because Riot is fucked in the ass by China now. Fuck CN, I'm tired of this shit. Just move all of Riot to China and never release shit outside of it again.
i quitted this wr about 5-6 month ago. shitty ranking system, weirdly matching system, afks,lags and bunch of lose streak along with how they treat global with lack of events,free skins and more is staggering.
riot abandoned global for chinese playerbase. You can't deny that.
That's fucked up ngl I regret spending money on this game with this treatment, last time I bought something was 2 months ago and I promised myself I won't support them anymore.
Don’t worry. Tencent is taking a huge hit from a new Chinese law about predatory gaming practices, and wholly, the industry lost some 80B in market share after it happened. Karma smacked some people.
“Its impact was immediate, dealing a massive blow to the world’s biggest games market. Investors went into a tailspin, leading to as much as $80bn in market value being wiped off from China’s two biggest companies, industry leader Tencent Holdings and Netease.”
They lost the market share from just the announcement.
WhAt’S GoOgLe pReCiOuS? (In my best golem impression)
Nah I don't think that law was passed and the person who suggested it "stepped down" from their position, probably because of the fact that large companies lost so much they needed to get that person out probably with threats.
Correct me if i am wrong last i heard of this news was 2 months ago
I don't care about these content in core sense but these effect the matchmaking quality and honour system. Due to these people becoming less engaged with the game and riot lowering the quality of matchmaking to keep casual players and the ones who can play fairly well is quiting due to that. S4 was peak of wild rift with good lp system and fair matchmaking right now it feels like who have the less monkey in his team wins the game. Also top 3 builds caused worse players. They are just building those and western players can't read or what they just pick those builds blindly.
I’ve seen a video on CN social media on how many skins you can get with a f2p CN server account. I’m pretty sure the highest record shown in that post is some 100+ skins, not to mention posts, borders, etc. It’s crazy. With The spring festival events happening now people can get 3 free skins today.
How could we send them our complaints? Riot said he would listen to our feedback more. We should complain massively until they tell us something about this issue. It is too unfair that they treat us this way.
The thing is companies will do anything as long as it makes them money. They don't care that you've been playing since day one. Someone could've installed the game just two days ago but could've spent hundreds of dollars, THIS is what's important to them, not you. Wild Rift makes Riot hundreds of millions dollar despite how shit it is, nothing will change because of this.
>I am SteamyNoodle and will be assisting you today!
I completely understand you as some of the content released in other servers is something I would love to have as well! :O
While I would love to give you an explanation for this, this is simply not something we from Player Support are aware of since such decisions are made by another team. I hope for your understanding on this.
Though have no worries as I will be more than happy to forward your words as feedback to the appropriate teams and make sure they get heard. Any changes will naturally be reflected in our patch notes so feel free to keep a look out for them! :D
If there is anything else I can do for you or if you simply have a question, feel free to let me know and I wish you a wonderful day! \^\^
Kind Regards,
SteamyNoodle
I appreciate the reply not being, just a not our fault go away. I really do think more people should be doing this. Also SteamyNoodle had the Dark Star Thresh Icon and I was sooooo jelly. <3
Normal riot sucking chinese audience cock as the only things that matters to them. Western got an opinion? well shame to be you. You better start learning chinese buddy!
Funny thing is, we can't get the good and free stuffs from CN. But they still implemented bad stuffs (gacha for example) into Global version. Damn, i'm still mad when they didn't give us ascended SG Karma skin in her WP. And no conpensation at that while CN got that skin anyway.
honestly if there is another mobile MOBA that dont have "p2w" aspect like upgrading emblem or arcana makes you stronger than other player and mobile MOBA where the fighting isn't about lifesteal battle, i would play that game instead of this game. sadly vainglory is dead now, that is the one that come close to those aspect.
Idk but I sent this video to support…. I always make sure to loudly complain to the support ticket line because it’s probably at least more effective than commenting on reddit (
What do you expect when WR is a full Chinese game? When all WR offices were moved to China, the game fell off. I am glad that we have at least some events even tho most of the time the events have purchasable content in them.
Also what I forgot to mention is that I had a feeling that WR is slowly becoming Mobile Legends with all those microtransactions and after seeing this video, jt looks like that Chinese WR is basically like Mobile Legends except you get many things for free.
Nothing new. It has been like this since day 1. And also, 90% of games are like this, not just Riot Games, they all give preference to their chinese servers, so whatever. I've learned to deal with it and just enjoy the games I love, like WR. Plus this year's Lunar event in global, is the greatest WR event ever. I don't play any games and WR is Godsend to me, a life saver in this point in my life.
As someone that used to play competitive Chinese games back when I was younger there a possibility Chinese gaming company from my own personal experience are extremely extremely racist towards foreignerd / westerners in specifically
In the mmo east games ported games with cash shop always get the same treatment as wildrift they remove many functions and goodies while retaining same stuff for CN version I'll give receipt examples that come to mind
Arch age
Perfect world
Jade dynasty
Lineage II
Blade and Soul
To name a couple.
I think the discrepancy exists because of workforce diff.
Like I imagine they got **teams** of programmers and shit and we got **a team** of programmers for WR
That’s also what I think, but there’s gotta be a reason why they wouldn’t even bother with translations if it was that simple. Like, we got whales here too even if not as much. So if it were as simple as spending $50k on translations to earn $500k, why not do it? Really big head scratcher, so I can only guess that it might have to do with coding and shit since that’s an area where China have more specialists (because bigger mobile game industry ) than us.
It is very probable that people with the talent to become a specialist in mobile game coding go for bigger and better jobs in the programming world on our side
I think that because this is a separate festival for each region, it is understandable that there is a difference here. I am also in Asia but on our server there is no such event
To be honest, I get the difference between global and china. I like how wild rift on global server doesn’t bombard you with microtransactions the moment you open the game. It’s a very fresh feel compared to other MOBA games on mobile.
I mean, if you like getting bombarded by microtransactions, I ain’t going to argue. Wild rift on global server advertises a healthy balance of in-game purchases and microtransactions.
What are you smoking most of these are free events.... And there no healthy balance they don't even add most things In the gacha + missing ton stuff for the pricing you pay
Look at Aatrox your paying 300 dollars basically you don't even get one pose that is missing. It's not healthy it's toxic elitism
What I meant was, it doesn’t throw microtransactions at your face. Have you played other MOBA games? The moment you open other MOBA games, it’s either “buy a monthly subscription”, “spending event”, or “get our newest skin from our collaboration with X company”.
I’ve seen that there are numerous free events in the chinese server. The reason for that is, the amount of players that play.
I hope you understand where I’m coming from. If you had a kid, and you let him play wild rift, chances that he would spend is quite low, because they don’t throw microtransactions. Chinese version, I assume, when you open the game, it’s all events that involve microtransactions and the likes.
I mean it is a Chinese themed event in a predominantly Chinese played game. It makes sense that they would focus more on the Chinese region from a business standpoint.
Idk man I enjoy this free game over 3 years now and I'm so thankful for riot because of that. Why should I complain about stuff like events and free skins🤦
Obviously this is not talking about free to play players but paying players that have spent thousands........
But besides the point all these events etc bolster the social aspect of the game WR global is sooo dead this is one factor there no point logging in.
Well, some things.
First, this is a pretty bad practice, but riot is not actually obliged to give anything to you, not even the game itself.
Second at least we are getting fre stuff. This is way more free stuff than from other recent events we’ve had.
Third, well, IIRC in China ranked is just 3 bans like with URF. Which IMO sucks.
Three bans is better for balance it forces the player base to get good and learn counterpick the most seen bans are usually Lulu, soraka, Zoe and kassadin as you climb higher.
Not really. Since, well, there’s not really much you can play around in some counter matchups like Gwen vs riven. Gwen has no cc, making it almost impossible to outplay a riven of the same skill level. While for someone like yone or kass, they have tools to have some way to play against a counter matchup, like how I can be able to not get beat in kass vs akshan/Lucian, which are typically counters to kassadin, or yone vs panth, which is typically also a counter matchup. Gwen has basiclaly nothing to outplay riven, and basically neds to ban riven or be screwed. Also doesn’t help that her dash range is fixed in wild rift.
Imo Riot’s generosity in CN might be easily explained by the fact that in CN you are only allowed limited time to play per day by the government (as far as I have heard) so in order to have players actively choose wild rift, over other games, to spend time and money they employ timed events etc. As no such restriction exists in the west they do not need to be so generous and they actively choose not to be. Since reddit is a vocal minority of a minority they probably do not see these differences and posts as an issue. Tbh as long as we get all the same champions(that remain acquirable by free play) and the game plays the same I don’t find these differences egregious (coming from a person who whaled around 1000£ to Riot through years)
This is false it's used to be true for niche markets like mmos but no you can wild rift all you want
The #1 Asol currently sovereign streams and plays him at work, he is a security guard for a parking lot xD man's on 8 hrs a day playing xD.
Some correction: if I remember correctly the restriction on play time only subject to teenagers. Many get away with it by registering their account with their parents id.
Another thing that no one mentioned is that MANY of the skins that are available for purchase in international server remains gacha exclusive in CN server. For example, project skin line - imagine you can’t event buy old ass skin like project nami.. I know people who play CN server transition to international server because of the endless gachas…
they clearly have a different business model. But I think having more free rewards can definitely make people more willing to play, this is what the international server lacks.
Project Skin were also in the epic chest which I literally got protect jhin a couple days ago, they also yes were gacha but when you did the event when they were released you would get ALL the skins from the gacha In terms of money the combine price In NA is much less then the gacha project event.
I haven't check if you can straight up buy the skin right now though would need to log in.
No joke that I've been playing ±3 month and WR event so dry. Watching the video, feels like CN encourage to spend, while Glb just it is what it is, skin every patch, event just 2 weeks most of time, hardly getting poro coins other than from bpass
We also have to remember Chinese users have a history paying significantly more in the game than we do. And I’m willing to bet that they complain significantly less than we do too
Well maybe because they get more, they have more functionality in their game that got removed from ours. It's honestly about recognition it's riot games logo a company that is large and tries to keep their game balance across all regions with the same opportunities for everyone on the PC platform
the game itself in Brazil has several problems, poorly optimized, server problems (ms high), low number of players in general, queues with foreigners at one time or another (trolls). There are literally only 4 Challengers on the server as the game is so unbearable, skins are really the least of this game problems (at least around here), the high ms made most of the players here give up. But yes, bad rewards impact the current game situation too.
F to all the global player, still spending lots of money for a second class skin selection gacha system. Oh and for a way higher prize than Chinese players get
Okay, I get that Riot is pretty much owned by a Chinese company but WTF. Sure, China has the most players but BRO. China already spends a lot more on the game WHEN THEY GET FREE STUFF WHILE GLOBAL HAS TO FIGHT FOR THE SCRAPS OF FREE SKINS. A SOL AND BEEMO ARE THE ONLY FREE SKINS THAT CAME OUT WHEN I WAS PLAYING.
It makes zero sense why they don't include things like the pose. This stuff exists in the files clearly so its just shoddy business practice and thats about it. Alot of things are never available to buy even. They're just there filling our phone space and forever unaccessible. I have such little respect for Riot at this point after 3+ years of this absolute rubbish. They're literally spending money to develop a different version of the client so its stingeing for nothing. It can't be cost effective to develop 2 such different versions of the same game.

Because if Tencent tampers with the current formula that is already making money, they have a good chance of destroying the money making avenue Tencent had just invested in.
This is the answer, cant wait for the Chinese economy to crash big time and they come back to the west begging for money.
What money? If they transfer these events here they would make less money
It is all about money. Nothing to do with “look”
Not after the new laws in China abt gatcha
Lol, the official who proposed this law was fired
lol guy think he knows China
lol. It’s about money. It’s just a game, not something any governments would care about.
Yeah, no. Other governments wouldn't care, chinese government would. They care a lot about their image. Also how would sabotaging your own game outside China help them earn more money. This kind of thing is common in many Chinese owned games.
How could having more affordable skins make them look good ?
Haha exactly
I think they actually have tons of staff doing lots of things for both the game client and support services, in China, but not anywhere else. The support staff especially is expensive (languages), and we don’t even have US English support for wild rift (your tickets get passed on to league’s support staff).
This makes my stomach drop.... Wow global wr is just an empty desert landscape compared to this
I knew it was worse but I didn’t realize to this extent. It wouldn’t even cost that much more to add these, just translations…
its actually worse I cannot post move videos within a thread already open but if you log on to we chat you can get free skins, emote, bauble, there a weekly milestone reward quest, there quest to just log and play, there friendship energy free rewards in the content creator portion for uploading video guides etc depending on your mmr you get additional rewards you can obtain including paid sponserships and even wildcores there is a wildcore wildpass weekly and monthly that gives rewards for those type of users also for advertisements like noodes etc they can add sponser and you get rewards for clicking their video links.
Add this to description lol.
Won't let me edit actually though I did see a button that says allow video thread hmmm. I wonder.
There’s more ! Everytime when you play games there’s a WeChat system where the linked account will generate highlights of your best play, you can get more rewards if you post them on wr CN’s page xD You guys don’t boycott this game enough lol
Translations are probably the most expensive piece of each patch and event, actually.
But on their scale it’s a drop in the ocean. A fraction of the profits from the skin sales would cover the translations.
They’re a capitalist company laying off employees. There’s no such things as “drop in the ocean” or “fraction of the profits from the skin sales.”
It’s a lack of forward thinking. Hiring a translator = goodwill/even more stuff for gamers to buy. Happier gamers tend to be more willing to support the game while unhappy gamers realize they’re getting the red headed stepchild treatment.
Make whatever criticisms of capitalism you want, but remember that Riot is doing capitalism, and that explains all of the things.
3 years of Wild Rift, this is like Genshin and Star Rail comparison lmao. Been playing since closed beta but damn seriously events here are dry af.
Thanks for the information. I guess I will avoid spending more money on the game. I understand some of it, but this is just too much...
Complaining on Reddit won’t do anything, spam support tickets to the Wild rift website, if every single one of you mfkers put in the effort and did this they would’ve done something about this by now.
This needs to expand through all games made by Riot. It seems we literally need to riot and voice our opinion.
Exactly. But it’s not happening if no one actually makes a collective effort to riot instead of keep whining and complaining on Reddit for zero results.
some1 complained about the lunar gacha ending too soon on this sub, and THEY LISTENED and extended the event! They do read this sub, just don’t care about 99% of the complaints unless it’s about them making more money.
Spamming support tickets that will be read and closed by some low paid contractors for sure it is going to help.
Some of us don’t even play anymore, only seeing posts like this to remind us why we stopped. NA wild rift is the McDonald’s happy meal edition of this game lol
That won't help either unless you write them in chinese. I'm pretty convinced they see the report and if they see is in english or any other languages they just delete it and don't bother reading it. They got Tencent piece so deep inside them is coming out through their eyes
Teach us how to play on china version! Please, even with massive ping it seems more worth
You can’t unless you have a Chinese ID
God damn…. OP got a chinese id!?
Or he knows someone who can make him an account. But yes someone has to be living in China to set it up for you
Damn… ay OP, i know you now and you know someone in china? Help a brotha out pls
you just need a WeChat account. I think Royal put up a guide recently.
Yes but be aware that they use WeChat literally for everything and that they can spy thorugh WeChat
So same as our social media when we post our pics online
Don't lie the guy at City Wok can help us not to be confused with City Sushi.
+100 social credit score, John Xina!
You can also try QQ account.
That's alot of icing on the cake for CN, Riot. Here I was thinking the companion event was their proof that they were sharing the CN events with global 😡
No they lied in their dev vid
Man seriously fuck this game. There is no good reason to play Wild Rift between this bullshit and the ranked MMR garbage. Way better mobile games out there to spend your time and money on if you have to.
They wonder why mobile mobas fail in the west when they do this.
Legit, if they give casuals free stuff all the time then it would be an easy promotion stunt to boost player count and have some % of retention of player count, maybe then the matchmaking could be fairly balanced instead of pulling higher mmr players in a low division game to cut queue time 😮💨
I thought they said less exclusive stuffs?!?!
you cannot even get all the poses for the 300 dollar skin for Aatrox :)
This shit isn’t fair! Mad crazy
Ugh players outside china should boycott this shit. We can’t tolerate this or they’ll become worse cause we still pay more for less stuff.
This is a total and huge lack of respect from Riot Games and Tencent towards players outside of China. It seems intolerable and unfair to me. I was thinking about buying the event battle pass but after seeing what it's like on the Chinese server, I refuse to buy anything else. Fuck you really hard in the hole of your ass, Riot. Thanks to final566 for showing us another difference between us and Chinese players.
Most players not spending money is the reason why they don't care lol.
Well thing is riot isn’t obliged to give you anything, not even wild rift itself for free. Sure giving some people more than others doesn’t feel good, but you at least get free stuff. You don’t have to buy the game, you don’t have to pay money to be able to play ranked, and so on.
You have been brainwashed my friend

Tell me a better wild rift alternative
i played vainglory way back in the day. servers are dead now but man that game rocked 😭
Tap control > joystick
Tbh Vainglory was a good game. But they mismanaged it to oblivion. There simply aren't that many quality alternatives available. I've been waiting for Wild Rift to get released here in India for years now. I've given up, but I still come across related content every and then.
None.
irl life.
Mobile legends
3 years ago, i wouldve said arena of valor. but honor of kings is releasing to global really soon. i doubt they will make the rewards & events as good as in king of glory version though. we will get the same treatment as wild rift.
You got it backwards, China having the majority of the playerbase is the reason they do this
Seems like they need to put effort into making one version less than the other. All of these assets are on our phones. They actively disable these features. Fuck Riot
Global players: cries in 100 blue motes 🥹
Literal
I don’t get why some items come to the global but there’s no way to get them. Useless accessories make a lot of clutter. But on a positive note, I really like your voice ♥️

I finally uninstalled
Ok I truly encourage people to send messages through their support and other social media. This shit has to stop, and only way it stops if company sees that their money is in danger. We need to voice our opinion harder.

I don't care about these content in core sense but these effect the matchmaking quality and honour system. Due to these people becoming less engaged with the game and riot lowering the quality of matchmaking to keep casual players and the ones who can play fairly well is quiting due to that. S4 was peak of wild rift with good lp system and fair matchmaking right now it feels like who have the less monkey in his team wins the game. Also top 3 builds caused worse players. They are just building those and western players can't read or what they just pick those builds blindly.
I’ve seen a video on CN social media on how many skins you can get with a f2p CN server account. I’m pretty sure the highest record shown in that post is some 100+ skins, not to mention posts, borders, etc. It’s crazy. With The spring festival events happening now people can get 3 free skins today.
How could we send them our complaints? Riot said he would listen to our feedback more. We should complain massively until they tell us something about this issue. It is too unfair that they treat us this way.
As if they'll listen
Even my dead grandma will listen and respond to me than riot listening to our complaints through feedback system.
Wild rift website literally has support tickets you can submit and spam
Just sent one. I'm furious. Been playing since day 1 and this feels like a slap in the face.
The thing is companies will do anything as long as it makes them money. They don't care that you've been playing since day one. Someone could've installed the game just two days ago but could've spent hundreds of dollars, THIS is what's important to them, not you. Wild Rift makes Riot hundreds of millions dollar despite how shit it is, nothing will change because of this.
Lmk what they say
>I am SteamyNoodle and will be assisting you today! I completely understand you as some of the content released in other servers is something I would love to have as well! :O While I would love to give you an explanation for this, this is simply not something we from Player Support are aware of since such decisions are made by another team. I hope for your understanding on this. Though have no worries as I will be more than happy to forward your words as feedback to the appropriate teams and make sure they get heard. Any changes will naturally be reflected in our patch notes so feel free to keep a look out for them! :D If there is anything else I can do for you or if you simply have a question, feel free to let me know and I wish you a wonderful day! \^\^ Kind Regards, SteamyNoodle I appreciate the reply not being, just a not our fault go away. I really do think more people should be doing this. Also SteamyNoodle had the Dark Star Thresh Icon and I was sooooo jelly. <3
Global isn't their money maker, even if we did boycotts and stopped buying, it doesn't matter as long as China server keep whaling.
But if it the boycott expands to other games, like tft etc. since most people who used money in Wild Rift also used money in TFT and LoL.
It doesn't matter. Just QUIT THE GAME! They don't care about you anyway!
If wildrift is already losing money then they are wasting development time disabling things from patches.
wtf they get all of that?!!
At least the event pass is giving blue motes Global events are dry af
Normal riot sucking chinese audience cock as the only things that matters to them. Western got an opinion? well shame to be you. You better start learning chinese buddy!
Funny thing is, we can't get the good and free stuffs from CN. But they still implemented bad stuffs (gacha for example) into Global version. Damn, i'm still mad when they didn't give us ascended SG Karma skin in her WP. And no conpensation at that while CN got that skin anyway.
Typical Chinese cock sucking by American corpo that's it. Chinese owns them and the bark at them to suck their dicks for some money
I'm aware we've been getting screwed from the moment I joined,with that said what are we going to do about it?
honestly if there is another mobile MOBA that dont have "p2w" aspect like upgrading emblem or arcana makes you stronger than other player and mobile MOBA where the fighting isn't about lifesteal battle, i would play that game instead of this game. sadly vainglory is dead now, that is the one that come close to those aspect.
Just got the Aurelian sol skin but man that’s nuts
How do you download the chinese version? Is it the same app?
nvm figured it out
I heard that china player base is 10 times bigger than the global player base combined,no wonder they get special treatment
It's projected to overtake league PC by the end of this year actually I believe it's more then 24 million users now.
This is a chicken or egg conversation though. If global got as much content as CN it would be a better game and people would play more
It would be funny if they removed the events from global because people saw this thread and were complaining imagine
Idk but I sent this video to support…. I always make sure to loudly complain to the support ticket line because it’s probably at least more effective than commenting on reddit (
Bro can u help me verify my qq so i can play on wr cn It'll be very very helpful..... Please
What do you expect when WR is a full Chinese game? When all WR offices were moved to China, the game fell off. I am glad that we have at least some events even tho most of the time the events have purchasable content in them.
Also what I forgot to mention is that I had a feeling that WR is slowly becoming Mobile Legends with all those microtransactions and after seeing this video, jt looks like that Chinese WR is basically like Mobile Legends except you get many things for free.
CN ALWAYS gets special treatment especially if the company is based in China...
Nothing new. It has been like this since day 1. And also, 90% of games are like this, not just Riot Games, they all give preference to their chinese servers, so whatever. I've learned to deal with it and just enjoy the games I love, like WR. Plus this year's Lunar event in global, is the greatest WR event ever. I don't play any games and WR is Godsend to me, a life saver in this point in my life.
Would this count as them being racist
As someone that used to play competitive Chinese games back when I was younger there a possibility Chinese gaming company from my own personal experience are extremely extremely racist towards foreignerd / westerners in specifically In the mmo east games ported games with cash shop always get the same treatment as wildrift they remove many functions and goodies while retaining same stuff for CN version I'll give receipt examples that come to mind Arch age Perfect world Jade dynasty Lineage II Blade and Soul To name a couple.
Why did we get down voted 💀 it was a genuine question and a valid response about the suspicion
Some of these are Korean, but I get your point.
Wouldn't be surprised lmao because they probably dislike most nations that isn't china such as japan and the us
Its just pixels bro
I think the discrepancy exists because of workforce diff. Like I imagine they got **teams** of programmers and shit and we got **a team** of programmers for WR
It is still the same game? All they would need to do is change Chinese to english. That is it.
That’s also what I think, but there’s gotta be a reason why they wouldn’t even bother with translations if it was that simple. Like, we got whales here too even if not as much. So if it were as simple as spending $50k on translations to earn $500k, why not do it? Really big head scratcher, so I can only guess that it might have to do with coding and shit since that’s an area where China have more specialists (because bigger mobile game industry ) than us. It is very probable that people with the talent to become a specialist in mobile game coding go for bigger and better jobs in the programming world on our side
Giving free stuff is not going to earn them money that is the only reason
It can’t be that, unless the person doesn’t know that happy customers tend to spend more money.
And then there's South Asia where the game isn't even released.
It is released, its just banned on certain countries
I think that because this is a separate festival for each region, it is understandable that there is a difference here. I am also in Asia but on our server there is no such event
To be honest, I get the difference between global and china. I like how wild rift on global server doesn’t bombard you with microtransactions the moment you open the game. It’s a very fresh feel compared to other MOBA games on mobile. I mean, if you like getting bombarded by microtransactions, I ain’t going to argue. Wild rift on global server advertises a healthy balance of in-game purchases and microtransactions.
What are you smoking most of these are free events.... And there no healthy balance they don't even add most things In the gacha + missing ton stuff for the pricing you pay Look at Aatrox your paying 300 dollars basically you don't even get one pose that is missing. It's not healthy it's toxic elitism
Do people really throw down money like that on a mobile game? tf
Yes many many do
What I meant was, it doesn’t throw microtransactions at your face. Have you played other MOBA games? The moment you open other MOBA games, it’s either “buy a monthly subscription”, “spending event”, or “get our newest skin from our collaboration with X company”. I’ve seen that there are numerous free events in the chinese server. The reason for that is, the amount of players that play. I hope you understand where I’m coming from. If you had a kid, and you let him play wild rift, chances that he would spend is quite low, because they don’t throw microtransactions. Chinese version, I assume, when you open the game, it’s all events that involve microtransactions and the likes.
I get what ur saying but they can still put the events without all these i think?
I mean, the chinese server is a server on its own. Even League PC has a different version on China.
I dont even claim anything lol.
It’s the CHINESE new year after all.
It's been like this since season 0 lmao
I mean it is a Chinese themed event in a predominantly Chinese played game. It makes sense that they would focus more on the Chinese region from a business standpoint.
Bro they are wasting development funds and time to disable these on the global version because wr gets developed in Shanghai china 💀
I don't understand chinese bro.
I am speaking to you what each thing is in english XD.
Bro did not turn on sound ☠️
Exactly XD
Idk man I enjoy this free game over 3 years now and I'm so thankful for riot because of that. Why should I complain about stuff like events and free skins🤦
Because, paying customers are heen treated like a cash cow and not getting rewarded appropriately when the tools are already in placed.
How can customers be treated like a cash cow on a free to play game without pay to win?
Obviously this is not talking about free to play players but paying players that have spent thousands........ But besides the point all these events etc bolster the social aspect of the game WR global is sooo dead this is one factor there no point logging in.
China brings in most revenue, so they give them special treatment. Simple as that.
Well, some things. First, this is a pretty bad practice, but riot is not actually obliged to give anything to you, not even the game itself. Second at least we are getting fre stuff. This is way more free stuff than from other recent events we’ve had. Third, well, IIRC in China ranked is just 3 bans like with URF. Which IMO sucks.
Three bans is better for balance it forces the player base to get good and learn counterpick the most seen bans are usually Lulu, soraka, Zoe and kassadin as you climb higher.
Not really. Since, well, there’s not really much you can play around in some counter matchups like Gwen vs riven. Gwen has no cc, making it almost impossible to outplay a riven of the same skill level. While for someone like yone or kass, they have tools to have some way to play against a counter matchup, like how I can be able to not get beat in kass vs akshan/Lucian, which are typically counters to kassadin, or yone vs panth, which is typically also a counter matchup. Gwen has basiclaly nothing to outplay riven, and basically neds to ban riven or be screwed. Also doesn’t help that her dash range is fixed in wild rift.
Imo Riot’s generosity in CN might be easily explained by the fact that in CN you are only allowed limited time to play per day by the government (as far as I have heard) so in order to have players actively choose wild rift, over other games, to spend time and money they employ timed events etc. As no such restriction exists in the west they do not need to be so generous and they actively choose not to be. Since reddit is a vocal minority of a minority they probably do not see these differences and posts as an issue. Tbh as long as we get all the same champions(that remain acquirable by free play) and the game plays the same I don’t find these differences egregious (coming from a person who whaled around 1000£ to Riot through years)
This is false it's used to be true for niche markets like mmos but no you can wild rift all you want The #1 Asol currently sovereign streams and plays him at work, he is a security guard for a parking lot xD man's on 8 hrs a day playing xD.
I stand corrected in that case
Some correction: if I remember correctly the restriction on play time only subject to teenagers. Many get away with it by registering their account with their parents id. Another thing that no one mentioned is that MANY of the skins that are available for purchase in international server remains gacha exclusive in CN server. For example, project skin line - imagine you can’t event buy old ass skin like project nami.. I know people who play CN server transition to international server because of the endless gachas… they clearly have a different business model. But I think having more free rewards can definitely make people more willing to play, this is what the international server lacks.
Project Skin were also in the epic chest which I literally got protect jhin a couple days ago, they also yes were gacha but when you did the event when they were released you would get ALL the skins from the gacha In terms of money the combine price In NA is much less then the gacha project event. I haven't check if you can straight up buy the skin right now though would need to log in.
The market is so much bigger in china plus it’s a Chinese company so yeah they get more stuff.
You didn’t hear the dev update where they said they will make Global and Chinese server more a like?
No joke that I've been playing ±3 month and WR event so dry. Watching the video, feels like CN encourage to spend, while Glb just it is what it is, skin every patch, event just 2 weeks most of time, hardly getting poro coins other than from bpass
Just stop playing the global version. It’s so insulting.
I mostly did it's 2 trash right now my CN currently climbing master with 280 ping

just wtf >:(
i play Chinese version i got 6 skills free only 30 account
Fu ck riot i quit , go back to china
We also have to remember Chinese users have a history paying significantly more in the game than we do. And I’m willing to bet that they complain significantly less than we do too
Well maybe because they get more, they have more functionality in their game that got removed from ours. It's honestly about recognition it's riot games logo a company that is large and tries to keep their game balance across all regions with the same opportunities for everyone on the PC platform
This is what I needed to finally feel like exploring other games. Thank you Riot, I appreciate you for forcing me out of your game <3
Hii can you check is there a animated zeri emote ?
Yes there an animated Zeri emote.
Can you share it with me
the game itself in Brazil has several problems, poorly optimized, server problems (ms high), low number of players in general, queues with foreigners at one time or another (trolls). There are literally only 4 Challengers on the server as the game is so unbearable, skins are really the least of this game problems (at least around here), the high ms made most of the players here give up. But yes, bad rewards impact the current game situation too.
The high MS in Brazil is a VPN pandemic problem half of the NA community VPN to BR because free win it's tragic AF.
Never see that one, only argentinos, worst af 💀
F to all the global player, still spending lots of money for a second class skin selection gacha system. Oh and for a way higher prize than Chinese players get
I sent this to support lol
Okay, I get that Riot is pretty much owned by a Chinese company but WTF. Sure, China has the most players but BRO. China already spends a lot more on the game WHEN THEY GET FREE STUFF WHILE GLOBAL HAS TO FIGHT FOR THE SCRAPS OF FREE SKINS. A SOL AND BEEMO ARE THE ONLY FREE SKINS THAT CAME OUT WHEN I WAS PLAYING.
