Riot, stop making big discussions that affects everyone on the NA forums

I got exited today when I saw Soulcrushed had started a discussion on Poppy's character, because I like her and thought I had input that most people didn't think about. However, then I noticed it was on the NA forums. Creating discussions like that on the NA forums when you have the international boards is really neglecting a big part of your playerbase and I am personally not ok with this.

lol, you sound like GD when they (Reds) only posted in the boards about anything and everything.

Not everyone likes the leddit style, and only recently did they even start fixing chronomode (not done yet). At risk of sounding repetitive, I'll remind you what GD was told when they complained.

The Boards are our new testing ground for community interaction. Rioters are not required to use the Boards, nor are they required to use Reddit or GD. They may post where ever they like, but most likely they will post where they feel most comfortable.

Perhaps instead of raising pitchforks, you should be bribing him. Or bribe the Boards team to finish chronomode.

Also, I highly doubt that this was done to spite you. NA GD easily outpaces the boards for overall traffic, and EVERY rioter claims that the forums in general are the minority of the playerbase. He probably wanted the largest sample he could get on the forums, and NA GD is simply that, EU playerbase or no.

I speak for a lot of players worldwide when I say this: We have international forums?

Guess what these are beta forums and a very small % of the people use them. If you want to contribute make a thread is here and say @_____rioter. Their are quite a few reds that only check the beta boards and would forward your comment to the person if it had a valid opinion or get said person to jump into your thread.

Instead of stepping up and trying to get your thoughts out their, you decided to whine. No one but your self, stopped your from making a beta thread. You could of got the conversation going here. Their is a segment of the people (like me ) who avoid the normal boards completely. Threads that have merit usually get up-voted and get noticed.

But now i feel that your input probably had no real worth. After all you choose to make a complaint thread without even trying to get involved in other ways. You could of stepped up but chose to complain. You could of lead but decided to say why you couldn't. You are the reason you are not involved not this rioter.

I completely agree, there´s really no reason to not use the Boards for such discussions - especially as Riot specifically created those Boards for having easier access to what´s important for them in a discussion. It really is a huge upset for everyone outside of NA to see that they are still not wanted to participate in any design-discussion, making them somewhat 2nd rate customers.

I was about to make the same thread. Realy Riot not only NA player want to contribute. Everytime NA players get the better when it somes to Champ discusions.

This was not Riots call it was soulcrushed's call. if you want your oppinion to be heard by him try making an "@soulcrushed we like poppy to" thread on the beta and lure him over.
