Down voting for nothing

This whole down voting thing on posts without leaving a comment when they are just fun posts people submit out of boredom.

it is time to fight back on this action.

Edit: labeling this post as a success thank you community.

If you have a post that you just recently submitted and it was down voted for no reason take out your frustration and confusion out on the boards.

Up vote every post that has no comments posted and down voted with no explanation. Up vote posts that you dont even like, but they are purely opinion based or fun or random posts. [sg-lux-2] Disclaimer: Feel free to upvote other peoples posts even after reading: your 'why did i get banned/reported' posts doesnt fall under this category. That is an issue with the terms of agreement and Riot games. open a support ticket if it bothers you so much. and if you did and they responded, come on, you know what you did. (And yes i feel typing 'i am going to report you' greater than 1 time is a report-able offense and you are just being threatening instead of constructive. Plenty of posts with the word 'Report' in the chat logs are all to common on the 'Why did i get banned' posts.)

And what if - now, this is a stretch - but what if, people don't comment to explain their downvotes because the downvotes are self-explanatory? "I downvoted this so that the OP knows someone disagrees with them/doesn't like this", etc.

Because that's something I do. I rarely tempt myself to join into conversations, and I find it all the easier to express my disagreement/dislike by clicking the down arrow and moving on.

Hell, if we're going by this logic, I guess I should go back to all the posts/comments I've upvoted and explain why I upvoted them, huh?

Ranty sarcasm aside, my point is; downvotes don't need explanations, and they're also not something worth getting worked up over.

I do it because triggering people who seem to lack virtual recognition is fun

I agree with having to comment to vote but the sheeple wouldnt be able to spam posts easily so it won't happen

I feel like people are downvoting this because you're talking about downvotes...All of a sudden people are talking about downvotes alot o.O

Honestly I mostly find excessive downvoting annoying because it's not used in the way it's meant to be. It's meant as more of a report of the content than a "I dont like what you said". Like cool, you didn't like what someone said, but unless it was completely outlandish than just ignore it.

I feel like seeing a lot of down votes on random things that don't deserve down votes kind of creates a negative virtual space and well, league is a game, games are meant for fun so let's just keep things positive.
