I don't usually go to the boards, but for the past month or so ive been on and off scrolling through reading stuff simply because it looks cool now lol, as I speak Katarina in the background lookin finnee... ahem but uhh one thing that remains consistent is our (the communities) complaints (suggestions) and while im all for putting up ideas and things that could be done some threads just come off as bashing and unnecessary its one thing if somethings wrong and theres an out cry its another if theres a slip up and the reaction is F*CK YOU GUYS CUZ HUMANS DONT MAKE MISTAKES AND I DONT LIKE DIS SH&T. Im just saying everyone at riot games is a person with feelings and things happen, we have been playing this game for this long because we enjoy it and trust the team behind it, lets put a little more consideration into the things we post and not spam the same damn complaint 1000x

But then again I could be wrong and just complaining about some foolishness myself in which case im sorry lol kill myself Rammus item 3075

Feedback needs to be given, and it's frustrating when Riot doesn't always listen to the feedback given. People have been asking for Lee Sin nerfs forever, still none. I'd rather have Lee Sin be nerfed hard, then buffed a little rather than wait a year for Riot to think of the PERFECT way to nerf him.

Ehh... try to focus on what are you actually writing. Your syntax is horrible and your post isn't coherent (hence my downvote). Also, Riot developer teams (plural, this is relevant for boards developers, marketing staff, balance team game developpers and the PVP.net client team) doesn't really show any respect to the users or will to cooperate with them. As such, these boards are rather Western Wall of the league of legends.

You don't expect vitrol when a community is lied to? The stance with GD and Beta Boards was that both will coexist. Then they deleted GD. I have accepted the fact that the boards are here to stay even if they are a terrible format, riddleded with bugs, a crappy version of Reddit, never used by Reds, and are atrocious for mobile functions.

But saying one thing then doing the other? The boards team can fuck off.

There have been countless bug reports and suggestions made, yet little progress. Hell Chronological is still broken because nested doesn't auto quote. This thing has been out for almost a year now and ITS STILL IN BETA.

Then it was forced down our throats with bugs equivalent to the mummy movie series.

This stuff really bothers me. The transition between the old forums and the Boards platform was extraordinarily rocky, and it seemed like there was almost no warning nor discussion from Riot with either of the communities before effecting the change. To my knowledge, the best reason we've gotten for the out of character rushing of that change was "we did it because reasons", courtesy of Tamat.

The important part here is the progress. Updates happen extremely infrequently on this platform, and it would be kind of nice to hear why it takes so incredibly long to do somewhat simple things like changing the automated moderator message or reorganizing the board listings. I'm aware there are priorities, but making the moderation message more clear should be something a single person can knock out in an hour or two.

I just wanted to repeat this because it amused me.

We disagree on a lot of things Daen, but on this regaurd your first statement is one of my biggest problems with the board because Tamat went about it like a snake in the grass. Like a coward, and didn't have the decency to come to us, the fans, the posters, the players. They tried to hide the fact at first, like removing the link to GD from the main page. Making it impossible to navigate to.

Tamat if your reading this and disagree let me hear what you have to say. Otherwise you and everyone that worked on this format is a coward. All of you. Instead of being upfront and honest on this posting style you played rogue, assuming we would be none the wiser. Talking to you to Frosthaven.
