It really is sad how easily posts get to the front page for the wrong reasons
You have all these circle-jerks and satirical posts that go nowhere in terms of conversation that completely drown out the ones that want to have a discussion.
I see posts that (to me) make no sense in what they’re trying to say, but get upvoted anyway while people will come up with well thought-out responses and just get downvoted to hell. If you disagree, don’t be afraid to say why; that’s what the Boards are for. The point is to try to come to a mutual understanding. That doesn’t need to be an argument; the common term here is “discussion”.
With the recent changes, I see a lot of potential for actual discussion, but people are acting like we need to rise up against evil Rito. They sound less like protesters and more like children who have been given sub-par toys. In the end, you guys don’t need to get so mad about it. It’s just a game. I understand if you’re coming off of a bad game and you’re already frustrated, but if you just decide to post something hateful because the mood strikes you, that really says more about you than it does Riot.
I don’t know what the solution is or even if there is one. But that’s a big part of the Boards: seeing what you guys think. I would be a hypocrite if I didn’t try to get you guys involved. Please post your thoughts in the comments below.
