Sick of abusive players and hypocritical policies (there should be no downvoting in forums)

Hear me out here, i hope riot sees this. Many of us who have alternative ideas or thoughts about LoL have no place to turn but the forums. The issue with having alternative thoughts or ideas is that people tend to down vote posts like this. But what if there were only positive votes. Then the best posts would still attract attention. I would not have to be stuck with stunted feedback from people who knowingly abuse posts. If we could not be down voted it might allow for real discussion to evolve. This current system completely maligns with Riots policy, and it encourages toxicity. Of course toxic posts could still be reported and taken down. The only difference is that controversial ideas would see more discussion from a wider range of people.

Please Riot i am trying to take this company and game seriously, and the current policy directly encourages toxicity. Both in game and in forums. Many people have quit for the reasons i have outlined, strongly consider that you are actually losing your original fanbase here while supporting millennial degenerates.

I'm sorry you dislike it when people disagree with you.

Disagreeing with you is not necessarily abusive.

EDIT: The manner in which disagreement is expressed is what determines if a disagreement is abusive.

Alternative ideas aren't the reason people get downvoted. They get downvoted because the alternative idea is usually:

  1. Poorly thought out and has obvious downsides/flaws
  2. Some conspiracy post (My teammates hold me back!!!!!)
  3. Comes with language that insults the reader (If you downvote this you're just bronze trash who doesn't understand the game)

You can have an idea that goes against mainstream thought. However, you need to be reasonable and provide evidence, which almost never happens.

Did you know that when Riot announced summonses were no longer lore canon, the post got nuked by a bajillion down votes? Me included? It turned out that they knew what they were doing, and I changed my vote months later(yes you can change your mind), but diwnvotes are a double edged sword for them too! I can find you a large hanfull of downvoted Rioter stuff too. Downvote: disagree No vote: neutral Upvote: approve

Also, I'm a millennial, do you realize how many ages fall under the millennial umbrella? Sorry to see you find me degenerate :(
