Why does riot only respond to sound art and story section of boards?
I feel like they are the only part of riot who actually care about players on boards. No rioter responding to gameplay section EVER. Idk what's going on honestly.

We as players, don’t really have any influence on what Rioters comment and where.
I will say there is a Rioter lighting the gameplay boards up right now.
That department wants to dodge work? I don't know man. They're simpler answers.
Because everyone in the gameplay boards hates their rotten guts for what they've done to league? Just thinking out loud here...
Because story and art isn't occupied by crazy people who twist your every word to get all worked up about something that they don't even want to understand.
Rook is sort of on a track. That is a different department.
Other factors include:
-
Gameplay is a lot more volatile/hostile. Yes, there are some who love talking to Reds; but there are also those who jist want to tell them they are shit.
-
There is actually extensive training/courses you have to complete before posting on an official Riot account. This is because, your(their) words will be seen as an extension of Riot's opinion.
That being said, it is simpler and safer to comment on creative items as opposed to gameplay.
xD partially cuz we don't attack people/judge too hard. Lol, on a serious note tho, gameplay generally deals with balance, something which can be quite controversial, biased and confusing.. if Riot throws favor in one thing they sometimes will be forced to justify or say things that might not be done (they don't want to say they'll do something which might actually not be done) balance in itself can be tricky so might be felt left to the creaotrs (idk) Story art and sound is generally much calmer, more lax... we're enthusiastic about theorizing and lore and maps MAAAPPPPSSSSS xD, Our world doesnt really affect gameplay, so is quite easy to say for sure....i think it's also cuz yh.. we don't generally get needlessly accusatory, when we do make accusations it's more criticism, like how a critic is necessary to review stories and films and songs...usually Riot excels in these so the rare time they don't it's not "oh this is bad with no reason", The lore people are extremely passionate and dedicated to the narrative, (we're adorable xD like lil hermits that EXPLODE out of our crabs the moment something new is added to the universe)...Yet another thing tbh... We aren't all that prevalent on the boards other than the occasional theory UNTIL something new is dropped, then we're out for weeks before we retreat back into our dark caves :p it's a phenomenon xD (slightly joking and exaggerating) but basically it's easier to say things with certainty in Story Art and Sound than it is in Gameplay. (at least imo)
