The petition organizer, Sam G, claims Riot Games "prioritizes profits over player experience" under Jadeja's leadership. The community is now discussing potential escalation strategies, including:

  • Organizing a player strike
  • Planning peaceful protests at Riot headquarters
  • Expanding the movement to influential regions like Korea

The petition aims to reach 20,000-100,000 signatures before considering larger-scale actions. While Riot Games hasn't responded officially, the growing movement demonstrates the community's determination to advocate for changes in the game's management and development direction.
