How to get Upvotes on Gameplay and Balance

This is a guide to show you how get upvotes on gameplay and balance. After reading this guide young lad (or lass), you'll be bathing in the glory of upvotes - take it from me, I'm close to 30k myself. And with these upvotes, you can use them as reward points to get discounts on various products at several gas station corporations and Walmart. Good luck on the boards of justice, young summoner.

Step 1: go to gameplay and balance, select the big orange button "Create A Discussion"

Step 2: make a thread title, it should refer to the following subjects:

•why you hate Zed •why you hate Yasuo •why you hate Lee Sin •Nerf Zed •NERF YASUO •Lee Sin is already strong, why are you buffing him? •please buff my champion with a 15% pickrate that already has a 52% winrate because I don't have a 100% winrate with them - make sure it's a mage. Make sure it's an immobile mage.

Step 3:

Ignore all logical responses that go into detail how you can deal with these chamoions mentioned above, ranging from counter building to mentioning how their 15-20 second CD spells that can block projectiles does not completely negate the poke from a mage with a 3-4 second CD spammable poke spell as their main source of poke. After all, if it's a logical response that is actually backed up by evidence and has sound reasoning to it, ignore it because it's not the fotm QQ that these boards are subject to hivemind to and evaluate their own shitty gameplay, even months after some of these champions have been nerfed completely into the ground. Remember, it's easier to blame the enemy champ than it is to blame your own play. Gut Zed!

Step 3: ignore double standards and balance philosophies that you have regarding any subject. As an example, as a Mage main, you cannOT stand that champions like Yasuo and Zed can successfully Lane against you and your 800+ range spamming spells with little risk or interaction. It's complete bullshit that it's a Melee champion you can't defeat simply by existing and clicking on for the entirety of Lane phase. However, if someone mentions you being a hypocrite for this stance and they mention how mages like Ryze, Lulu, Vlad, Kayle, Kennen and LIssandra invalidate melees top and force them out of the game for months at a time until riot finally decides to nerf them, ignore it entirely, downvote them and don't respond. That's being rational, we are not rational.

Step 4: emoticons, lots of them :). Also, don't ever spell out champions and items, make sure to always use their icons when referring to them even though the majority of the time it takes longer to find these icons and select them than it does to type out their names or abbreviations. Remember, this is reddit 2.0.

Okay I admit, this one isn't actually bad and completey fine. I just can't help but find it funny when I see 70 icons selected in a longer post because I just say to myself "dude, it would've been easier to just spell it out or abbreviate things lol."

Step 5: if you are daring enough to respond to a rational comment, keep ignoring the logical and likely more well rounded experience of the poster you're replying to. Simply put, keep saying the same thing but word it differently. You will get lots of upvotes this way, nobody likes to think outside the box. Even zions teacher argues this way.

Step 6: collect your upvotes. If a rioter responds and disagrees, downvote them furiously. How dare they come onto their own boards and make a statement that differs from your opinion. The audacity of these egotistical jerk heads who are all probably high diamond/masters or have YEARS of experience question your opinion that you decided to think up 5 minutes after playing like complete shit and blame the enemy champion or some item. If they agree, upvote them and say "hi morello omg xD ur my favorite rioter I lover U!!! All that screaming, whew I'm tired."

Congratulations summoner, you're now an upvote machine. One day, you'll join the 30k upvote club and be subject to going to various supernarkets and flashing your upvote card to get discounts on goods. Like seriously, meddler responded to my thread - I'm kind of a big deal. And remember summoner, disregard logic, acquire upvotes. If it seems logical and rational and goes against the hivemind, it's best to downvote it and not respond.
