Riot: Talk to us on THESE Boards

AmightyT·12/24/2014, 10:24:02 PM·169 votes·8,733 views

We have these new boards that Riot said they made for better communication with us, but where are you guys? On twitter and Reddit. Well enough! We want a one stop shop with your guys and keeping all the chatter in one place makes it all the easier for you to get the information you guys need to improve the game, and easier for us to feel like you care.

EDIT: Hint for Riot: You should be responding so it seems like you care.

They make this reddit style so they don't have to resort to using reddit. Then they don't even use it... They deleted GD for nothing...

Don't be silly. What do you think these are, official boards?

Or, if they continue to talk on other forums, have them linked here to make this still a hub for red posts.

I haven't even came here since it changed. This board is like 100x different than the old one. I'm not complaining.. It just scares me away... The old boards were brighter and basically the normal type of forums I'm used to.

How do you think devs feel? They put a years worth of work into this and Riot still won't use it.

Not gonna happen. Got a post from Pendragon claiming they were properly communicating then I broke it down how poorly their communication was and the lack of proper communication channels (Riot boards vs Twitter/Reddit/etc.) and he didn't dare respond. They know full well they don't parrot their information onto these boards much less handle proper communication with its player base on their own boards.

My disscusion I just posted got removed not even 5 min after posting cause Riot cant take critisizim. such a joke Why is it that League of Legends does not work 50% of the time. This games is suppose to be at the head of the market and Riot can't even get their game to work. You guys spend millions to get tournements set up and you cant even get you servers to work properly. Over the holiday season, Riot severs are totally impossible it get into. I keep getting notifcations that is my problem or that its on my end but I follow all the instructions that I am told by Riot and it still does not work. "Check you firewall, check your connection..etc" my connection is fine, your servers need to be fixed. League of legends should not have this problem. You guys say you are working on it? well how come Blizzard can fix their stuff and you can't? Oh wait, Blizzard cares about its players. Riot, you guys don't even try and apologize about how broken your game is. If anyone at Riot reads this, I doubt they will take it seriously. They will probably have a machine answer it or ignore it. IF they do respond to it, it will probably get me banned from the game because they don't want to hear how bad they are. There is a standard that you have to follow and you guys are way below it. So many of companies have problems as well but you guys, you guys don't even try. Hopefully other players will read this and agree because it should take hours to try and log in. this game should be giving me hours of fun, not hours of waiting. Go ahead and take this post down if you want but it will just prove that you would rather shut out the truth from an actual player then acknowledge you guys need to get your stuff fixed. I do in fact enjoy your game but why can't I even access it half the time? Seriously, get your shit together Riot.

it would be nice if they posted everything here as well as on reddit.

(Great necro, guys...)

We're here. There's a lot of you and very few of us, relatively. But just know we are constantly poking each other to come hang out on social media and not sit behind our computer screens all day, regardless of how cool the thing is that we're working on...

I can't agree more.

Blizzard is doing the same nonsense garbage with WoW, ignoring their forums in favor of Twitter. I don't give a shit about twitter and never will, stop trying to make everything some PR thing and talk to your actual community.

Don't get the point of axing the old forums and making the Boards if Riot continues to prefer using Reddit over the Boards...there's no reason to come here for Red info from other sites as long as Surrender@20 exists. Riot, either start posting your stuff in Boards as well as the other sites you use, or just stop acting like Boards is the official forums. If you don't treat them as such, it defeats the point of their existence.

Fiorinol12/25/2014, 6:59:34 AM2 votes

I don't even care at this point. I post on Reddit, get 700 upvotes, front page, and some actual communications.

Post on here, get 50 upvotes, and no communication.

:\

Ligerzz12/25/2014, 8:04:38 AM2 votes

They could have more Q&A's here. It's so depressing trying to get on reddit, i don't like it there.

OverpoweredSoap7/27/2015, 11:14:38 PM1 votes

The only reds I really see here on a regular basis are Meddler, BaconHawk, and Katey.

With the occasional, Scruffy and Stashu.

I appreciate Meddler. Bacon and Katey because they do really communicate with us for the most part. (There also another red who's on the lore team that posts a bit as well, but I can't remember his/her name.)

But I feel like Riot could communicate with us even more, though tbh I'm seeing them a bit more than before. (The GD reign)

Yoella12/25/2014, 3:00:39 AM1 votes

The only reason I ever come to these boards is when I feel like quickly venting about something, or I want to talk to the community.

If I want information about the actual game, I use the Reddit app on my phone. /r/leagueoflegends. They really should just put everything on here... but Reddit has flair. I like flair. I don't even know what it is but I feel like I'd like it.

c'mon man, this is big developer communication 101. You have 2 boards: a fanmade one that you go on because the community is filtered and somewhat tolerable, and the official boards that you promote so that when everyone wants to complain, they have a place to go to.

It is the only 100% sure fire way to get an actual read on a community, rather than the filtered crap that just looks for a place to bitch.

But then again, when you start hosting your AMAs and stuff on said fan board, it spoils the effect a bit.

poor company which has the vision of "on user most focused company" which cant give the community feedback they want.

If you're going to upgrade your boards, use them to talk to us instead of a third party website. Use the site that you actually made to host this stuff, or make the league subreddit the official forums.
