While I agree with a lot of the hot discussions, this board is a plague of circlejerks.

Seriously who didn't see this coming. It's difficult for me to argue against the Zed and Lee spam because I agree with most of it, but the thing I am not seeing that I actually enjoyed about GD where the counter argument threads spammed in the same area. It allowed me to challenge my own theories and give me views of the discussion from a different angle.

I fucking hate your reddit format. I miss the discussions. I hate the circlejerk. I EVEN agree with the jerking and I still hate it because there is no discussion, only an echo chamber.

Agreed. Reddit style prevents any counteropinions to the popular one from seeing light of day.

Even if you can change your settings to organize the boards almost exactly like the old forums?

The best thing about your statement is that it is self-demonstrating.

The discussion is especially hard for me to keep up due to it's backward chronological order, the "reply" system ruining the pace and flow (which cease to work after a certain amount of replies) and the upvote sort that is everywhere even in comments.

There is just really not much logical flow in the current format, I mostly just leave a comment nowadays like most people since it's really hard to keep up unlike the old forums where reading threads is like reading a book, you get the timeline, who is replying to who (or it may just be a reply to everyone who has commented) and it was easier to lay out counter-arguments that way.

A little hard to do it now I totally agree.

Don't worry, other people are starting to get fed up with it and circlejerk the "anti-lee and zed thread" threads (like this), too.

I have set the Recent sorting algorithm and I have none of the problems you describe. Means the problem is on your side.

Even the people on here are like they came from reddit. Self-righteous, pretentious, can't believe they're ever wrong, etc. The carebear shit is what I hate the most though. Censoring ''offensive'' summoner names, constantly complaining about ''mean and toxic'' players when there's a mute option, constantly complaining about how they should be compensated for losses when there are afkers or disconnects but god forbid they get punished for disconnecting tho!!! We all know that when literally millions of people have no issue connecting to Riot's servers, it's still Riot's fault they disconnected!

I agree. Everything with your logic. But I don't take kindly to people who dis. reddit bro. If you don't like it, don't do anything to annoy others. I happen to like every detail on reddit and every discussion.
