K so this did end up getting upvoted close to the top and that's dumb. This shit needs to go. It's one thing to have a problem with Cait and if I spent the time to make valid points, it'd likely get ignored or randomly downvoted. But make my title click bait and make my post more comedy than constructive criticism without actually saying anything, that's the best chance you have at getting a post read and that's disturbing.

This is supposed to be riots official site for discussing balance. Yet this wannabe Reddit style joke of a cesspool doesn't enable that at all because it's all about votes so people can feel good about what they say. It requires no investment into an actual discussion to steer the direction of a topic here. These dumbass nested comments and sort by vote need to go. Maybe then this place can actually get viable feedback that's well thought out and isn't click bait.

That is the Gameplay circlejerks for you. Theyll upvote anything that supports their thoughts on a champ they think is broken, and downvote all others.

Yeah, never liked the voting style. I mean, the old forums weren't perfect, but this voting system is not conducive to discussion either.

Now I'm happy if I can get 20 votes on a discussion and keep it "hot" for longer than a day. I don't meme at all, I pretty much primarily use Boards for constructive criticism, and my upvote high is around 40. That's pretty telling. It only gets worse when you realize some people actually DOWN vote if they don't agree or think of it as "whining", making discussions harder to keep afloat.

Depends; If it is downvoting because you dont agree thats just lazyness and stupid if you cant be asked to form a counterargument keep your downvote for yourself but if its the OMG AUTOFILL SO UNFAIR FUCK YOU RITO YOU STUPID FUCKS hatepost for the 102264th time with no other information im downvoting it straight to the pits of hell where it belongs.

I don't really consider that discussion, at least not constructive in any way. That's probably this system's strength is that crap like that can be pushed to the bottom. The unfortunate side effect is that not crap discussions don't necessarily rise to the top, it's not an inverse relationship like Riot hoped it would be.

CyberBalt1 votes

Well it might be just that you're a fairly well known boards user, making people more likely to upvote your posts. But yeah, I agree.

Was a good joke with a message about balance in it -> caithlyn is strong atm. You could argue it belonged in memes and games but not every bit of feedback needs to be an essay with 200 source references in it. Using humor and hyperbole can be good feedback that something is to strong/ not liked and raise awareness to some problems. It can ofcourse not be the only means and it wont lead to direct fixes but that doenst mean it cant be usefull in small doses.

Man learn to take a compliment. 17 people found your thread funny.

I feel that if he was really worried about making it funny and not making a point of it then he would've posted this in Memes & Games.

Good point.

Check any topic I make and the only one that got upvoted decently was one about Fizz, but practically every one of the topics was accurate/had good points barring a few; people just don't wanna listen to either anyone that isn't Diamond+/widely known/or makes these cheezy threads.

So why you post it if you don't want to get upvoted? lol

Tobias Brackner2 votes

So you would read the post about how it's bullshit meme jokes get upvoted and discussion does not.

Skins Project1 votes

Have you read the boards changes thing? They're changing things to be on how active the conversation is rather then upvotes/downvotes.

Chromatic Eagle1 votes

These boards hate Caitlyn. Why wouldn't a valid thread about her be down voted? Unless you meant to defend her, and even then I'd say people exaggerate down voting.

Brascus1 votes

It's important to support a hypothesis with humor to keep it engaging, apes love a good laugh.

Quort2 votes

Or people could stop posting lame clickbait, but I doubt that'll happen. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The votes on this comment compared with the original post says something. Thank you for this experiment (even if it wasn't one it was informative)

It didn't work.

Poor upvote farming post. If you are going to try and get some upvotes you should at least write a full rage paragraph like the rest.

Don't read into this too seriously

Actually, Kled's ult ignore CC, both the charge and the lock-on follow.

I can post gameplay proof of Kled ignoring Azir's wall if you want.

The actual wall? I don't think he meant the knockup, but instead the actual terrain wall.

Or does Kled just bust through that going hell yeah

A point that what, a champion who is based around sieging choke points can effectively siege a choke point?

No, that upvotes need to not decide what makes it to the top.

Oh gee, thanks for reminding me what the original purpose of Azir's ult is. >_>

Stars Shaper2 votes

What's comic is that this is easily "fixable" by making Cait unable to put traps so much close to each other.

PrinceOfStorms7 votes

Or by removing the ability to store charges of Cait traps.

Or by putting a long arming time on her traps.

Or by making minions trigger her traps.

Or by limiting Cait to 4 traps total at any given time (like Nidalee)

Or by making Cait traps only last 15s.
