Why do we even have downvotes at all? I can understand that some people might post unpopular opinions but it's a mechanic that controls what people can see, and it is abused because of it. I just made a post asking if anyone knows when the store is going to be back up and it got downvoted already in 2 minutes of it being up...
Is there a good reason for having them here? And is there a better way to manage board posts?
Jesus our Exodus3 votesYes, there's definitely many popular forums that don't copy paste the toxic system of reddit, like Riot did. They are also way more enjoyable forums. But hey, I think if we make 1000 of these threads, maybe Riot will respond just to tell us why their system is "good".
Of course it's "good" in their eyes. All they see are threads favoring the downvoting system being upvoted into the sky.
Teriyaki Bukkake2 votesEven you were downvoted on a week old thread within 30 minutes of it being up -_- ....
Linna Excel2 votesSince we have mods and whatnot to get rid of the truly bad threads, I'd have to agree there probably isn't a need for downvotes anymore.
Khâmul1 votesBetter pût the amount of upvotes and downvotes instead of the sum for more clarity
Teriyaki Bukkake1 votesIt was a singular downvote, even though the post was 100% positive
GenoXx1 votesNo, tbh it's fuel for favoritism. I feel like the votes thing should be changed to something else...but of course Riot won't do that
Teriyaki Bukkake1 votesExactly! There has to be a reason, and if there isn't one then why won't riot remove it if it's having a negative impact!? Like wtf!?
