Update on the downvoting situation on boards

I made a post not a long time ago where I asked why a lot of the boards posts get downvoted and I got a various types of answers regarding this situation and now I just wanted to show you some of the examples of some posts that get downvoted just for expressing their opinion about something without being salty or anything.

So I looked at some of the different boards to see if a lot of the posts are downvoted and well, most of them are.

I guess this shows that how many people in the league community are negative, even it's discussing something really minor. Has the league community fallen down this bad that we judge someone just because of their opinion on something?

Everyone please "Stay positive"

I was under the impression that downvoting wasn't inherently negative as it is simply saying "I do not agree with this statement.". GGMF isn't a chroma really... or at least my opinion on that wasn't chroma because her guns changed. Now that a chroma for pugmaw came out and the chroma gives him either a tutu, spiked collar, or an eye patch whcih is more than just a recolor like I thought chromas were.

I am not being negative when downvoting, I just don't agree with particular confident made statements.

I recently just asked If ARAM no longer drops Mastery Tokens and got downvoted, lol. Happens.

I try not to downvote opinions I disagree with, I tend to downvote low-effort posts or posts that intentionally misrepresent data to abuse the mob mentality of the boards.

Upvotes, however, have to be well-explained posts on opinions I agree with.

Maybe people can make slightly better stuff other than screeching about League or 'downvotes r bad >:('

Notice how most of those downvoted threads are just people whining about shit that we've all seen a million times in other threads? There's your answer, now here's your sign.

I miss the glory days when it was easy to get a thread to 100+ downvotes.

Riot wanted to turn the old boards into Reddit. They succeeded. (Gone horribly right?)
