Clearly this means people dislike the video because "Biased sample selection".

A biased sample collection doesn't mean that the results imply the opposite of what they say, it simply means the results don't mean anything useful.

I feel like it's a collection of people who pay attention to the game's updates. These are the people whose opinions count.

Your feelings on this matter are not useful.

No, the people whose opinions count are all the people who play the game.

Well, simply put, no. If Riot manages to satisfy a majority of player enough so that they continue to play and spend money, that's all that counts. If Riot manages to understand how to satisfy these players even though they don't participate on the boards/pay attention to update, it doesn't matter that they don't participate.

What tricks you into thinking that is that, most of the time, it's easier to understand what people want when they tell it to you, and most of the time, people who pay attention have more insightful feedback to give. But "most of the time" is not always true, and if Riot manages to satisfy a silent majority, no matter how the achieve this feat, they still win.

Note that's a big if, and I'm not saying they have actually managed that. But when you say that the group that matters is the vocal group, that's not true.

That's total bullshit.

The video clearly discusses issues and future plans with Dynamic Queue. 66%+ of players interested in the game are at disagreement with Riot's vision. How is it biased?

Because the sample consists of people who watched this video who opted in to select like or dislike. In no way does that accurately represent the players, especially when 96% of the watchers chose not to opt in to expressing their opinion.

You want the sample to come from an even distribution across the population (the population being players of LoL) and you want a very high number of the potential sample to actually respond with their opinion.

that is still a tiny amount of people compared to the vast majority of the 67 million monthly players and 27 million daily players.

My point is still valid. The boards are horribly biased and trying to tell anyone otherwise is simply stupid. The boards are the vocal minority. The vocal minority all goes to the boards because they want to voice their opinions, but over time those opinions mash together as everyone convinces each other of following one opinion.

People who are not the vocal minority but still care have contributed their like/dislike. Everyone else who just doesn't care has moved on.
