How quickly do people jump to the dislike button on the Boards?
Before they read the body of the post, sometimes before even reading the title.

If people would just be as generous with their likes as their dislikes :/
What makes you think people do this? You can read the entirety of a short post just by mousing over the title, and don't even have to click it. If you posted something (or saw one) that had downvotes before it even had views, that is why.
Sometimes it's the title, and the tact involved.
"X is OP, please nerf!" is not going to hold as much critical thought and attention as much as "X could use a few tweaks, let's talk about it and see if we can pinpoint the actual problem here."
Okay, maybe not that exact wording, but my point remains.
I hate upvote/downvote systems. Sure, good ideas tend to get exposure, and obvious trolls get buried.
But I feel like people abuse it. You could say the sky is blue, and people will downvote you because they think it's green.
I think downvotes should only be used to bury false information or toxic comments, not because someone has a different opinion from you.
To be honest, having a well thought out post/response doesn't mean you wont get downvoted as fast.
example of board voting ettiquete.
makes a post about x champ being op, lets say Lee Sin. (instant 5 downvotes from the first 5 Lee sin Fanboys/girls that see the title) first commenter- I see your point, heres maybe something they could do...smart talk...(5 downvotes from the same 5 people. second commenter(one of the Lee fanboy/girls)- Erhmehgerd newb, L2P bronzie neckbeard. Lee sin isn't OP, im just the greatest ever for being able to have stacked kits. hurr durr. (gets 4 upvotes, maybe 3, but only because the 4th other Lee pack member went to bed)
Making sense doesn't equate to not getting downvoted, or for getting upvoted.
remember, this is the place where people are downvoted for saying it would be neat if zac got a new skin, for example.
There are so many dislikes becasue people use the boards to complain. I would guess around 60%-70% of all topics are complaints. They get downvoted because, either they are something that shouldn't be complained about, something that has been posted many times before, or a complaint with no additional solution. I dislike a lot, just to get the annoying complains off the boards.
