Boards needs a "Whine and Complain" Section

Elijah Prophet·7/15/2015, 6:49:23 PM·102 votes·3,130 views

I'm getting sick and tired of these boards turning into a host for venting your childish rants because something isn't the way YOU want it to be. Some people actually go to these boards to have a laugh, share an idea, or maybe offer a CONSTRUCTIVE piece of advice to Riot. League has around (70 million?) players. Can you even fathom the amount of reports and complaints they get on a daily basis? They have people working around the clock, doing the best they can to please every one of you spoiled brats; yet, all you do is yell at them. Well I think they do pretty damn well. I propose a "Complaints" section on the boards in an attempt to funnel all the negativity into one page so us pleased customers can avoid the cranky ones.

Anyone else find it ironic that the OP is whining and complaining?

Holy SHIT. Someone actually went and said it. You have no idea how badly I want a section like this.

I thought Gameplay & Balance was the Whine & Complaints section?

I find your wording questionable. It's as if you spend just the right amount of time buttering up Riot, in hopes of avoiding a moderator quickly recognizing your toxic tone. You're right, the jobs that the employees of Riot have are not easy, but I don't think you actually care about that. I believe that YOU are upset by the plethora of complainer's threads because it's not the way that YOU want it to be. I am easily not the first to point out the irony, or even hypocrisy of your post. I just figured that I'd share my opinion. Especially since it's normally players with your kind of attitude that refuse to report toxic players, and thus perpetuate the very thing you hate the most, people who complain about toxic players.

I am getting tired of people complaining about "people complaining" without seeing the irony.

I think this is a great idea, but love how people are calling you a hypocrit, like seriously? How else is the OP supposed to get this word out? I think the OP is right and we need a place to start these vents, because I to have issues with zed and Riven, but seeing the same post over and over again with the same content is just annoying.

Please, so I can actually view the rest of the boards without seeing a Riven QQ thread every 3 fucking posts

Fuck that lol. What we really, really need is to get rid of report systems. We already have too many cry babies. Can't take this community. It's a group of bitches, to say the least.

"please report, tryn", "im gonna report you", "our jg feeding, report please"

Every single game has this wheather its on ur team or the opposing team.

Am i the only person tired of this?

At least whining about Riot and the game doesn't make you a hypocrite like OP.

This game's reporting system is shit. I have had three 75 game chat restriction(s) and now I have a 90 game chat restriction. How the fuck is this possible? Because another person wants to be malicious and can't handle criticism Riot allows other players to abuse the report system and punish players. It doesn't seem to be a fair or even just system where anyone can report you for whatever reason regardless of whether you engaged in the behavior complained of or not. Riot is definitely suffering from ignorance to the human element, such as negative manifestations of certain people's shortcomings in life - morally and/or psychologically. A 90 game chat restriction? For what? And when I put in a support ticket to review the decision and for Riot to show me the evidence that Riot (tribunal) relied upon to make the decision to impose such a restriction they couldn't provide it nor provide a straight answer as to how it happened. The tribunals are fake, and potentially just "bots" automated to act on reports regardless of whether they are legitimate or not! So what I've decided to do is simply start reporting every person from every game in hopes to get people to complain of such a retarded reporting system that does no justice to begin with. As if Riot hasn't enabled a "mute" button.

It's the community as a whole, not just the boards. It's the League of Unaccountability, the League of Kneejerks, etc. No matter what, people will find something to complain about, and no amount of reason will stop them from doing so. I mean, I'm convinced the community will never stop complaining about the follow champions in particular: Blitzcrank Ekko Fizz Heimerdinger Kalista Leblanc LeeSin Riven Thresh Zed . Even if Riot were to do what everyone apparently wants and delete them altogether, people would simply shift their focus to other champions. It will forever be an endless cycle of whining and making a separate board wouldn't stop it from spreading to the other boards as well.

So completely destroy Gameplay and Balance, got it.

A thread that goes 'I believe this champion is overpowered/underpowered' is a complaint, no matter how well written it is.

No, I don't like that Gameplay and Balance is currently being dominated by 'Zed/Riven are disabled yay!' but still.

how much did they pay you? Riot is horrible with interacting with the community and you know it

LaowPing7/15/2015, 6:55:35 PM1 votes

Except they will complain even more when they get moved to that section. Segregating the community wouldn't help cause Riot profits from the complainers too (even though they complain like a mofo, they still play the game).
