These new forums are not only visually terrible, but the organization is confusing and illogical. For example, I posted a response on a brand new topic, when my friend tried to find the topic not even 2 min after my post, he could not find it anywhere. This is just an example and by no means is it the only thing wrong with this new site.
Riot.... Hot, Best, New and Recent are absolutely horrific ways to categorize your forum posts.
Killbot15 votesSeriously, if I wanted Reddit's format I would just use Reddit. Such a pointless change.

literally new jungle. Thank Lord Teemo they reverted the changed
tortellini8 votesI personally like the new boards, I think aesthetically it looks pleasing now and it's easier to browse through threads posted. However, I do agree, that some clarification is needed in forum organization (hot, best, new, etc.).
Horayforcats4 votesProblem with this board set up is there is no way to filter what you really want to see. So in turn you spend countless hours searching for what you originally wanted maybe finding maybe not but getting tired of looking and leaving the forum page aggravated and tired. To be honest I must say its a lot like there company motto at this point cause you normally leave league games feeling the same way.
TT Enforcer4 votesI miss the forums a lot too, were very easy to use.

Recent is literally exactly what GD was. I'm confused as to why it's a horrific way to sort forum posts.

This kid is the most hardcore Riot blowing White Knight I've ever seen and he claims he doesn't always defend Boards. Rofl.
Daen2 votesI mean...Recent is exactly how GD was sorted. That's literally a fact. There's no White Knighting about it, it's like me saying that a rectangle has four sides.
Regardless, feel free to check my profile; the vast majority of what I post is critical of the platform. I apologize for not being as outright hostile as you apparently want me to be, but I absolutely disagree with a lot of the policies and mechanics in place on the Boards.
Horuzar4 votesI hardly ever come here, and I wondered if I had accidentally stumbled onto reddit. If we wanted reddit style we would go to \r\leagueoflegends
Ashin Kusher3 votesi agree this is horrible.... o well i dont come here much anyways
JLBOB2 votesbut... but... best.

This Orianna2 votesI agree. They should bring the old forums back and shut Boards down.
Raptamei1 votesI agree. They should bring the old forums back and shut Boards down.
They should replace the colour scheme with the old one, get rid of the board fragmentation and make Recent the default view, but keep the technical improvements of the new forum.
Conflictedlock1 votesI could get past the aesthetics if it meant the organization was clear and easy to navigate. I think they got too cute with the 'hot best new recent' titles. Maybe it would be better to just have 2 categories: Best and New. Best being topics that have a lot of replies and follow forum rules. New obviously being the newest threads.
AbiwonKenabi2 votesI don't want just best and new. If a post has 1000 upvotes and 1000 downvotes, evening out at 0 votes, does that mean we shouldn't be interested in it? I would personally be more interested in a topic like that. Or perhaps a conversation that's not getting a lot of new votes but is still being commented in--that would not be very visible in "Best" or "New".
I understand that "Best" means something different to you, but I think its better to have all these categories: one that just straight up shows topics with the most votes, one that shows new threads, one that shows threads recently commented in and one that shows active threads (lots of votes up/down, lots of comments). They all appease different people.

I must admit, I like the "hot."
Riot needs to do a better job with their search bar though. It was awful on GD and it is awful here. Also, I wish there was a "My Posts/My replies" history, so I could go back to stuff I wanted.

Yami SenRyuu1 votes+1 this, This kinda make sense, but again, They will revamp it again.
Lover Lips1 votesAt least we can express our deepest hatred by at least swearing like human beings.
"No swearing in our forums because swearing is bad and we cant have feelings getting hurt on forums"-Rito
Fuck that.
Elkington VI1 votesAdding a "search" option for GD would be a good start towards improving Boards.
The majority of posts are in GD, so it makes sense to add a "search" function does it not?
