Joking!
Watch every thread deteriorate into a circlejerk fuckfest, where constructive opposing opinions get downvoted to oblivion and thus never seen and we, Riot, rarely respond!

cough so we could give them abilities we can easily modify. (Still waiting for those damn modifications....any day now)
I am starting to see a trend.
MXXIV1 votesPlease link me to some constructive, well written replies downvoted to oblivion in context where low-quality responses got better score. Because it seems to me that well written posts get upvotes even if they propose non-popular opinions.
There are exceptions, but they are exceptions which is good.
Pryotra5 votesSo wait, hold on, you want us to link you something that you have already dismissed as an exception?
Shit, dawg, you gonna need to take evidence in stride, not just write it off before it can even get handed to you. It kinda shuts down discussion, which kinda actually helps the OP prove his point about the boards being terrible for discussion.
MXXIV1 votesYou're right, I wasn't very clear with my statement which ended up being kinda tautologic. What I meant that problematic posts are, according to my observations, exceptional - and high-quality posts are more likely to get votes.
Therefore I require data to speak in favor of OP. Such as X recent new posts we classified as shitty got, on average, more votes than Y posts we classify as high quality and constructive. I think people upvoting statements such as the OP's one are upvoting because at some point of time, they got their valid point against popular opinion downvoted and now feel butthurt.
These complains occur in about 1 day frequency effectively fulfilling the circlejerk definition.
Pryotra1 votesI would like you to define recent. I'm fairly certain I can find a good example of poor quality getting upvoted from circlejerk, but the latter is a much harder one to find due to the nature of how sorting works on the boards.

Highly Constructive. Apparantly someone downvoted them several times, and as such this well constructed thread will never see the light of day.

No words are needed.
Digitality1 votesI get downvotes on posts that are simple facts that people dislike.
toonpang1 votesI have always thought the downvote system sucks anyway, aren't upboats enough

The you get the Facebook syndrome, where if you don't have x upboats, your post isn't worthy.
toonpang1 votesStill better than le reddit syndrome "You got downboated, now your post is hidden because you said Lee Sin should be nerfed"
