Upvoting and downvoting should be changed, they don't encourage diversity.

For one, bandwagon voting is ridiculous. It's literally the first person that votes who gets to decide how well the discussion goes most of the time.

Disagreement should be expressed in comments not through a quick burial and as people disagree or agree it should be shown to a wider audience to attempt to get points from the other side of the argument.

Please, just change the upvote and downvote system you ripped off Reddit (which has its own ways of stopping these problems) and replace it with something that makes discussions worth reading if they're met with disagreement, like a constructive-non constructive vote (of course memes and games will have a different standard for constructive and non constructive) to allow people to best show their opinion, and allow Riot to find discussions that aren't just "Rito pls thing the community wants but we fail to explain it clearly, or at the very least kindly"

So you want an option to turn off down and up votes?

I do agree that a lot of downvoting seems to be done just for the sake of downvoting, or because some people don't have a particular interest in the topic so they just downvote just for that.

I have to admit it kinda sucks when youre looking to have a subjective conversation and you just get downvotes.

That still wont actually change even if he voting system here is reworked but i do think that upvotes and downvotes should at least be separate from one another.
