People on Boards will and have always hate on the state of the game, don't force a narrative

Something is really wrong with the state of this game..

There's this awful narrative that permeates the boards that back then, people complained less on the boards and people were generally happier with the state of the game back then. This simply is not true, at least from pre season 5 when I started to visit the boards regularly. The level of complaints about the game and the state of the game is almost always consistent, just different champs and changes that are targeted. This is consistent through all metas. People will always be complaining on the boards, and saying that the game is getting worse is just not true.

Buddy, I've been here since Season 3. Make no mistake, the boards (or general forums, as it was known back then) have ALWAYS complained about this game. There must ALWAYS be something to complain about, whether it be Lee Sin, Vayne, Tanks, Assassins, Mages, ADCs and Crit (a staple) or just hating on Riot in general. I guarantee there has never been a time when the boards had a positive mentality or even neutral one for calmly discussing anything. The boards will always nostalgia goggle themselves and say that the past was always better.

For all intents, the boards serve for nothing more than an echo chamber and giant circlejerk for people to vent and complain about what they don't like. I honestly would be happy if Riot just deletes the boards in its entirety, as at this point its literally the same exact people who farm for upvotes on the exact same targets.

There's a difference between complaining about bruiser Fizz and his trollpole vs. entire games being too short.
