Removing Upvote/Downvote Has Made the Boards WORSE

Roll in Grass·2/23/2020, 11:28:57 AM·1 votes·2,538 views

As if the boards wasn't already an nonconstructive rage-fest to begin with, with the removal of the upvote/downvote system the good and bad posts aren't seeded through, and the front page has become an absolute disaster. A bunch of zero comment posts in "Hot", and just a whole page of ranting. Upvotes/downvotes help automatically seed through the good and bad posts so we don't have to waste our time looking at "QQ I'm perma'd because I'm toxic" and "omg I'm bronze and this too op rito nerf".

Please add it back asap.

i agree, i spend much less time on the boards bc 75% of the topics are not worth reading, but I can't easily see a waste of time at a glance anymore

so Im left with the options of a) read every topic to eventually find those worth reading b) read the few who have decent titles, get annoyed, move to a different site

I'm seriously disappointed that RIOT has such a strict policy on "dont feed the trolls" yet they folded like a lawnchair over a fucking vote bot and gave the troll exactly what they wanted...very sad

So skip the post and continue on. It's not like 100 post a min are made. I mean literally in 2mins i've read over 100 post and the new stuff cant keep up. Whats your problem?
