The boards are going to be replaced by a new centralized Riot Games forum

I bet Riot is going to kill the boards soon and launch a new forum. Think that sounds crazy? Well consider for a moment that Riot is updating almost everything. They are centralizing, modernizing (for better or worse), etc.

And yet, during this updating, what about the boards? The boards have been not only not updated, but have instead been shoved into a sub menu with league displays. And legends of Runeterra? Doesn’t even have a sub board here, let alone a boards of its own.

But more then that, look how little riot pays attention to the boards. Not even the mods give a shit about this place anymore. Most the heralds are inactive, the heralds that are active (especially Ulan) just actively insult people and don’t even pretend to be civil anymore, problem posts stay up for days at a time... When I tried to talk to Keyru she took months to even answer the ticket, and took weeks between replies. After she drug what should have been a simple conversation out for 6 months I just gave up lol. Riot has given up, and the mods have given up just as much.

And yet where are recruitments? They aren’t even looking for more people despite being clearly incapable of keeping up. They have given up seeking improvements. Maybe they just have been worn down, but I suspect they know something and just can’t say so due to their non disclosure agreement.

The boards had a good run. But mark my words, by the end of the year the boards are dead and a new centralized Riot Games forum will be born.

Honestly, it would severely improve the state of the boards. Its blatantly apparent that mods lack the tools to do their jobs proper, which leads to added frustration on the user base because they end up getting punished either directly or indirectly for their lack of proper tools.

Careful, one of the Heralds might threaten to ban you.

You’re not wrong... but I can make fun of you for seeing it a hell of a lot faster than you did 😜

I didn’t realize the boards were this bad until I saw gameplay again and less and less mods responding in discuss the boards. Perhaps we should talk on discord about it if you have time.

I often wonder if we could’ve made boards better or if recruiting was constant it would’ve helped these issues.

I kind of feel like riot will just halfass an update and add more areas to the left menu bar like with tft instead of doing a full proper update like you are proposing.
