I made a troll thread about fiora being easy to counter wondering if people actually read threads before they downvote them http://imgur.com/9Lu7kL1 obviously not it was an OBVIOUS troll thread. It wasn't even in the gameplay section 4 People downvoted it, and one person actually opened it realizing it was a troll thread. Why in the world does the forums have the option to downvote threads without even OPENING the thread?? What purpose does that serve The same for upvoting a thread. Is it for people who feel like just going to gameplay section and downvoting all of them because they're in a bad mood? Is it for people who are in a good mood and want to upvote everything? How does this help us? Please please PLEASE, Riot, if you want genuine feedback from the community, make the platform to send that feedback BETTER

Maybe they opened, realized it was a stupid thread no one should see, and down voted it?

why in the world does the forums have ppl who care so fucking much about up/downvotes... troll threads are useless and therefore get downvotes. if someone asks something he could easy find by searching for it they get downvotes. but you know what? IT DOESNT MATTER as long as someone answers your question.

seriously some ppl behave like they need +xy upvotes or they die.

I don't think it's about "I need someone to reply to what I have to say" more like "I have a valid opinion backed by statistics, that tries its best not to offend any one group, but I'm downvoted to obscurity so no one reads it" I've seen plenty of threads in the new section that are actually pretty articulate, but some group of people just go down the list and downvote for god knows why :P
