Reddit is a festering ground for fanboys
Riot gets constant approval from the reddit fanboys which is why you see them - without fail - making detrimental changes to the game. It is pretty obvious that /r/leagueoflegends is a semi-nazi regime where anything criticizing Riot gets shut down. Only bullshit talk about e-sport (which btw is still negative revenue) and constant praise of Riot themselves, is allowed. Riot pours more means into artifically moderating their subreddit "to look good" than their own feedback channels.
No wonder the game is suffering.
