Why Not Just Delete The League of Legends Boards?

Seriously, these boards are only followed by players who are unsatisfied with aspects of the game, and people who are meme freaks, or some player looking to get attention for his video or streams trying to get famous. These boards fulfill no constructive purpose outside of a bunch of children (most of which do no research or twist information to their liking) taking shots at each other and arguing about things which usually don't actually matter.

That's not even to mention the amount of complaints and hate aimed at Riot Games on these boards. It's pretty rare for Rioters to show up on these boards in general, it's been posted many times that Rioters mostly use Reddit for getting information. Why even keep these boards around? Outside from the few true boards freaks like Laughing Fish, and probably most of the mods, most players don't visit here unless they have something they want to complain about or suggest.

The world really would be a better place without the League of Legends boards. The only thing going on around here is hate and war, nothing good. It's time to create some peace and either come up with a better system or give up on having a "company boards" and rely on other sources such as the in-game surveys and Reddit exclusively.

I use the boards when I wait for Que in LoL, R6 or War Thunder. Would miss them, don't have any other website with fresh funny posts.

You know what I agree with you. RIOT should shut this place down. This place is a cesspool of screaming children who think they know how to balance this game. It's a really bad look for the game. But what did you expect? As far as I know every game forum is like this.

The thing is most people don't want discussion, they want agreement and validation. There's a post on the front page that says Yasuo is unhealthy, the proof is that he gets banned a lot. I said, "That doesn't add up. Let's start by defining unhealthy, maybe we'll get somewhere." I got THIRTY downvotes, that shit is hilarious! Lol if that doesn't prove the community doesn't actually want back and forth discussion, idk what does.

The boards do have a large group of vocal, unsatisfied players, yes. But there are people who legitimately seek out and engage in discussion on even Gameplay, not to mention our less dissatisfied boards like Story, Art, & Sound or Concepts & Creations. The boards may not be for you, and that's fine, but that doesn't mean they're worthless to everyone.

They really should just remove Gameplay, RANT, and Player Behavior topics from the Boards. Concepts and Creation should be the only place where "Gameplay" discussion is allowed, and the players posting should have to actually SUGGEST something constructive, and all threads about "X is op, nerf" should be deleted.

  • Rioters visit quite frequently. The last Rioter post on the boards at the moment was 8 hours ago in gameplay. Maybe click on the Red Tracker for once?

  • The boards are mainly for discussing League... EVERYTHING about League. Deleting them because a few people bitch and moan about the game is a big "fuck you" to the people that create skin/champion concepts, the people that care about/discuss lore, the people who actually come here to ask questions because they're new, ect.

  • You're completely ignoring the better, more positive posts just to prove your point. While the negative posts are the majority, there's a lot of posts around here dedicated to having fun and having feel good discussions.

Better question - why not stop visiting if you don't like the boards?
