  • So... unless you give a popular opinion or have a very well structured essay that people bother reading and can convince them, unpopular opinions get downvoted alot. People link ranks to alot of their arguments and say "haha u bronze". This kinda bothers me. ** alot** ;-;

  • I recently started repicking up old games, minecraft, hearthstone etc. And the communities there seem very nice! Every subreddit in league however, save a few always think their main champ is either in a ok spot or most of the time needs a buff. They flame riot and the latest gameplay thoughts from meddler got alottt of hate because of shaco. It's dumb to blame one person for changes, multiple people work on league and they make the decisions together. These people like meddler are just the front they put on, you can't put all the blame and hate on him, not that you should in the first place.

  • I don't understand as a shaco main myself, and the numbers for duskblades nerfs aren't even out yet, or even 100% confirmed! I thought downvotes were for putting down bad content? But mainly i see it used for people to mass hate on a post without even bothering to discuss what is in question. Maybe im just a butthurt person who can't take criticism without explanation. Sorry for the wall of text im gonna try to reformat it. I'd like a rundown on how boards and reddit operates so i can know what to expect in the future. Sorry for the rant [zombie-nunu-bummed]

I generally only downvote posts and comments that adds nothing to a discussion. Ideally that's how it all should be.

But most 'unpopular opinion' posts NEED to have good structure and strong arguments to add something. Just stating you have an opinion isn't very good discussion material.

I can't really comment on the other communities as I don't participate in them but I think it's fine to be against Riot if you have good reasons and arguments for it. Generally people who think Meddler is the only one balancing the game, but he is most often the one voicing his thoughts and as a result he is the one that gets the most feedback.

That's just the internet. You quickly learn to live with it.

On a side note, this discussion doesn't belong here. It belongs in the 'Discuss the Boards' section.

welcome to league of legends and especially the boards community. ignoring the NA board (because i think this is the friendliest of all) everyone else is just as toxic as ingame. they just feel all high and mighty and super smart. i mean how many people would openly admit "im an idiot"? not many. so everyone feels super smart and is a giant ahole
