@Riot: The boards might only show a minority of the playerbase...

... but we are the most active and dedicated players.

We are the ones streaming and making videos.

We are the ones making guides and helping new players.

We are the ones running the blogs for fanart and fanfiction - or the ones roleplaying.

We are the ones dedicated enough to even comission fanart and pay artists for that.

This is the core of your playerbase. Pretty much what makes this community. Disregard them and what do you have? A bunch of causals that maybe watch some Esports but couldn't care less for the game and will wander on the moment a new fancy game pops up. And all that while giving absolutly nothing back. Oh sure, they pay some cash for skins or boosts, but that's it. They are not producing any content for this community to gather around. Heck, they are probably not even going to engage in the community at all.

So maybe if there entire board won't shut up about some truly unpopular decisions, such as dynamic queue or certain balance failures, you might want to listen to it. Because once they are gone, you're on the best way to become a dead game. With only a few causals and some esport tryhards playing.
