We need a new section of the boards dedicated to serious, PROFESSIONAL discussion.

Seriously. It breaks my heart to see just how far the Gameplay board has fallen. At this point, it is literally nothing more than a giant hate sink of complaints, rage, and loathing towards Riot and the balance team (whether it be in general or towards distinct members.) Not to mention the bias. The overwhelming, overpowering bias. We might as well just rename Gameplay as "Toplane Bruiser Bar: People who hate bot lane, supports, jungle, and everyone else not us. Oh, and tanks too, you don't fit the top lane narrative."

But it's not just that. It's the putdown mentality. Everytime I see a thread expressing otherwise, saying that they're actually enjoying the game, or asking the boards to chill out just a little bit, they either get immediately downvoted or there's always that one highly upvoted passive-aggressive reply saying that league is clearly in a terrible state and that the boards are right and that the op is clearly too naive to see it.

I don't know. I just want a place where Rioters actually can feel at ease to talk to us again, where people are willing to discuss, NOT complain. A place where there is no right or wrong, just a presentation of perspectives. A place where people can talk like adults.
