The mass downvoting needs to end

CaptainAntiHeroz··18 votes·4,061 views

This has gotten ridiculous

perfectly valid discussions being ruined by mass downvote in seconds somethings gotta give here

make it so you can only vote if you post a comment or something anything, im so tired of popular discussions being buried by some trolls (especially when you just want Quinn to get that lore update she deserves)

on a side note more emotes [slayer-jinx-catface]

I welcome them. It will actually force Riot to give a shit about the boards again and maybe reevaluate their mods.

But the downvoting is constructive, its destructive because it just goes through all the conversations in HOT and isn't just targeting pro riot things.

Plus the mods are volunteers the fact that you have boards in the first place should be more than enough considering how crappy some other games online forums are

Dude, this guy has 60+ upvotes on his comment on a post with a total of 20 votes.

Jesus christ, one look at your upvotes and I can already tell this system is bullshit

The whole board is fishy. One minute all the posts have 60 upvotes, the next they are all downvoted. The reason I can think of why the bots are acting up is because the person behind it knows that it's no skin off Riot's back because they couldn't give one fuck about the boards and are doing this in some kind of protest.

Yeah I bot all the time bro, as evidenced by my long history of botting.

My apologies, I was pointing out the fact that the comment had like 50 more votes than anything on the thread. I didn't know if it was you or someone else who was doing the botting.

I just made a post theorizing why the Ruined King could be one of the next new champions. No offensive language, no politics no nothing, just trying to get a discussion going. It's currently at 2 upvotes and 60 frickin downvotes. Do explain how that is healthy for the boards, people who are fond of this situation.

That might actually be a good solution. If a bot was to continue, they’d have to write cookie cutter spam-able comments, allowing mods to ban the bot accounts. It’d also encourage more active engagement beyond simply agreeing or disagreeing.

Yeh i like that idea of having to add a comment before voting. Also would help the fact that people just downvote posts they dont like without putting in their opinion on it

I don't think I've seen a single valid discussion being talked here. It's either Nerf X, buff Y, Riot sucks, or some such. Any time there's a constructive statement made, your rank would be called into question. Or some "main" would ACKCHUIILEEE...your post to nothingness.
