How to get upvoted

MorgManBasher·Feb 1, 2017·20 votes·1,104 views

Complain about the most popular topic
Proceed to be upvoted by the current circle jerk (currently assassin circle jerk complaining about ADC's using their items)
???
Profit, except not really since the forums are littered with bronze players with 0 understanding of the game and will hop on any bandwagon that doesn't affect their favorite champion's strength.

Last time ADC's were too weak, now they shouldn't be allowed to use lethality. Courage of collusous is too strong, but tanks are too weak! Auto fill sucks, I am entitled and can only play one role! Cater to me pls!

L2P instead of finding every excuse to why you are losing and maybe you'll get better. Maybe.

It's almost like different people have different opinions. It's almost like these ''How to get upvotes'' posts are made so often, we should start listing them in ''how to get upvotes''' threads.

People always refer to the "boards" as if they were a single entity and as if everyone there had the same opinion.

MorgManBasherFeb 2, 20171 votes

Because the boards are a single entity of bronze players that do nothing but complain while they have no understanding of the game. Any moron can make a circle jerk thread while you bads upvote it.

To be fair, some people around these boards do essentially take part in what one could call "doublespeak" for forum cred and upvotes. Their opinions sway at the slightest provocation because it's the popular thing, and if you don't agree then it's probably because you're too stupid to understand what everyone else already knows, and yada yada.

I'm getting tired of these threads. Getting upvotes is not a fucking formula, it depends on several things:

-The popularity of the topic with the Boards -The wording of the title and post -Whether the post has a picture to catch attention or not -How much discussion your post creates -How well-supported and agreeable your opinion is

Naturally, a post labeled "wtf nerf this broken lee song shit" will get a lot less upvotes than a post titled "Why we need to look at Lee Sin's ____."

Proper grammar, good spacing, and font-play help you hit the front page. Avoid putting champion icons in the middle of paragraphs and try not to make too long paragraphs.

The topic is only one of many things that help a post get upvotes.

Also begin your title with "Unpopular Opinion:", as if your post isn't just a slight rewording of whatever circlejerk is going on at the moment.

Or title your post "How to get upvotes" because they happen so often its almost a meme.

Go for the classic Jhin thread and hope to get the instant 4 upvotes which leads to 16 then 44 then 4444. Or you might get an instant -4 like I did ;-;
