Is the vocal minority an indicator for what not to do?

Axests··1 votes·395 views

So I've been seriously thinking, the vocal minority tends to be noticed more than the majority opinion. I also notice that this vocal minority tend to be the same people that create complaint threads about the game and riot as a company. Does this mean that the true solution to riot's lack of community feedback (as some claim) is for riot to ignore the vocal players? I honestly think riot gains more information from one of those random in-client surveys then they ever will in a forum post.

"Riot games is worse than hitler because X champ is OP" - 90% of the threads on these boards

Yeah, I think that Riot needs to flat out ignore most of the things said on the boards. Too much negativity towards them.

When Dawngate was still around, their boards had a lot of the same vitriol and hate, but the reddit communty was super amazing and nice. I eventually migrated solely to the subreddit. Hell I STILL keep tabs on it even though the game's been shutdown for two months.

No idea how the League subreddit is though, I don't look at it much. But I suspect it's the same division.

Riot has the good sense to ignore the noise on the boards. There's a reason you'll (usually) only see red replies on legit posts.

That and the sheer volume of posts make the expectation of a red reply to every thing that gets posted ludicrous.

Riot is less interested in popular opinion and more interested in logical and intelligent debate/conversation.

They read the smart stuff and then form their own opinion about the subject.
