This is pissing me off.
Ok. The past few days and weeks I've been posting threads and I've spent many an hour looking through all the threads, looking first at recent, then hot then best. That's what I do every time I log onto the boards. Every single fucking time.
Okay RIOT I get it, you want a popularity ranking system, that allows people to see new and old content creators. Most people are really scared that the work they put into a thread WILL NEVER BE SEEN! This is a very realistic fear. People are scared that after maybe days of effort or weeks even, their content won't get fucking seen. Why? Because of the popularity system. People randomly click a topic on their left hand screen and downvote threads randomly, not even taking the time to read the fucking thread. So what do you do about this RIOT, that many of your fans make things that won't ever get seen and get so many random fucking downvotes that they delete them out of shame. I've seen this happen to a lot of good, well-made threads.
And the point of these forums/boards are: to communicate with other players and RIOTers. I wonder how many RIOT comments there are n the ratio of threads and posts. I understand you can't look at them all. But do you think RIOTers click on recent or even new. Noooooooo. This links back to my first fucking point. You can't even hire random ass people with all that fucking money to scroll around the threads and find good posts and forward them to RIOTers? No you can't because your RIOT. I love your game. I absolutely adore it. I've played 30 games in one day in season 4. But sadly your ideas aren't keeping up with your money.
Some of the topics aren't even worth having, they haven't been posted in for ages, and when they do get posts no-one fucking looks at them. I like making lore and champion and skin concepts, but I delete so many posts because they get randomly downvoted without reason. I'm not a scared ass pussy, but this stuff makes people quit league because of the high toxicity in everything RIOT makes. I like constructive criticism, I honestly do, but toxic behaviour is bull shit and makes people write threads like these.
Dont even get me started on the state of your lore jesus christ fix that shit.
Fix it. Fix it well and fix it fucking fast.
