People say boards and reddit are like such a small percent of league population right?

But at the same time these are the people who are most involved with all things League of Legends. Like these are the people who take time out of their day to talk about this game with strangers online, they're gonna have a lot more to say than people who don't talk about anything. So wouldn't it be better to listen to their things a bit more?

Here's a more thought-out post regarding this issue. They don't talk about the reasons WHY Riot should listen more to boards and reddit but neither did I really:

######I disagree with their thought on runes though.

No, opinions of people who have a clue of what they are saying should be taken into consideration, which is the opposite of reddit and boards

Obviously there are people who stand out but I feel they get no consideration. I don't go to reddit at all so idk what's there. Like the highest upvoted threads on main page.

Currently:

Tahm Kench jungle restrictions
Hexdrinker
Marksman damage
Ashe and Garen in free rotation
ff@15 Vote
Zoe bug
New loot system
Zoe gameplay problems

I also think that your comment doesn't do a lot of people who use boards justice and opinions like yours are problematic and are not helpful at all for player <-> developer communication.

both boards and Reddit have autism, that’s why I’m here

Even a small sample can be indicative of the larger population. This is in part why Riot releases surveys periodically.

Statistics > Biased feedback. How many threads daily are made that could be translated to "Riot I want you To Buff/Nerf X to benefit me and my personal playstyle." A majority of the boards are for player to player interaction, how many times do you see a red create a thread in gameplay in a week? You can keep a finger on the pulse of riots feelings pretty easily when they do AMA/redit posts and keeping your eye on Dev Corner on the boards.
