... These new boards suck

I don't think they're very hard to navigate - what are some of the things that make navigation difficult for you?

I agree, the current color scheme is hard to read, unless you're in a pitch-black room - I'd like the text to be a little bit brighter.

If you want the old forum style back, switch to Chronological view. Also you can have threads sorted by Recent instead of Hot.

That makes no difference it still looks like garbage in discussion or chrono view. WHY did they make the old forums so hard to get to now is the real question.

Sorry, but Riot likes reddit, so they had to rebuild their entire forum around reddit.
