Forum Trolls

I am an avid league player and decided recently to make my voice heard through forums thinking it might help and there would be others like me. I was very wrong. Turns out there are people who actually play league, like myself, and those who play forums, like most that will read this. Two very different people with very different ideas.

The people on these forums, who do not even play much, is who riot is listening to in designing the future of this game. That is where things are going wrong. I believe most forums are like this in that chatters chat while players play. It is a big problem. Are all of them simply trolling? I would like to think not, but why are they even commicating about a game they do not even understand?

Look up most posters game histories and you will see. It is very disheartening yet it makes a lot of sense when you look at the state the game is in. I do hope Riot takes into account quality over quantity when reading over these, but I really doubt their system is that advance sadly. I myself am done with forums, at their current state they are nothing but a waste of my time. I will continue playing while my world crumbles all around me knowing who it is that holds responsibility, and there is nothing anyone can do.

They don't actually take feedback like that so seriously. They are well aware of the presence of loud minorities on the boards, and that the boards do not necessarily represent the community as a whole accurately. Additionally, most players simply don't know what goes into game design and balancing; Riot doesn't just take upvotes on posts and decide that it's a good idea. The boards are mostly just a place for players to communicate with each other, not a place where Riot goes to make design choices (though they do take feedback and get ideas from the community).

Lol...

Most of the popular forum goers have 10,000 plus games played.

Most just post on smurfs like i am.

Some do it to keep drama off their mains.

Others (like me) do it cuz their mains were forum banned.

Others simply like the names better.

IF Riot really listened to upvotes on forums Yasuo, Riven, Zed, Akali, Katarina, Vayne, Draven, Twitch and some other champions would be nerfed to the point where their attacks would heal enemy instead of damaging them.
