The Boards

One thing I HATE is when there's an "upgrade" of something, they remove features. It doesn't feel like an upgrade, god damn it, it feels like a trade.

  • Where's the text formatting? (Central, left, right, etc.)

  • Where's the ability to separate text with more than one line?

  • How do I upload images? (not at the bottom of the post, but the ability to upload them as a custom size and implant them where I choose?

  • Where's underlining?

  • What the hell happened to being able to converse with NA and vice-versa? That was the most amazing feature! Where is it?!

I can see there's a strikethrough option... nice "upgrade"... So yeah, where's all my other stuff? This feels like a trade for a new system. Some nice new features, but where's all my other stuff? Also, I hate how by default, everyone sees what's "hot" and not the newest and most recent post. A lot of posts might not even get seen now. I really wish I had the option to use the old system. Why on earth "upgrade" but remove features? Something tells me these features aren't coming back. Hell, I don't even feel like using the boards. Lovin' the new features, hatin' the removal of old ones.

Oops, I'm typing this on the EUW, let me just switch to the NA one because unfortunately, I feel that's where it's going to get more views... How convenient.

Things I really hate about board are:

  1. When you have a thread with intense discussions, let's be real, it's becomes a giant cluster fk.
  2. There is no paging in the comment so you're either bound to read only the most upvoted or the newest. For anything in between, you need to physically scroll all the way down to load, then scroll all the way down to load again. It's just not optimised in both the technical and the practical side of things, as you could have easily implemented paging functions on the side so it's easier to actually read the whole thing. The paging issue extends to the threads title too, it's just not all that fun to browse through threads as it's specifically design to appeal to people who are only interested in the current Hot threads, or the threads that are just out of the oven.
  3. Backwards chronological order, this makes things ever harder.
  4. You can't attach more than 1 picture per post (unless you link all your pics, so I guess it's a great idea that I need to host pictures somewhere to post them here, yep). No Riot, just no. The picture threads died because of this, thanks Riot!

I feel that there is too much stuff on the screen when scrolling through topic's trying to pick something to read. I think Riot should clean this up a bit and have less information on the screen

The new boards are still beta trash, they're slowly working through their list of "basic shit that should've been in from the get go but we rushed everything because we're incompetent", but it's not enough. If you force your player base to a sub par forum, you better work your ass off to get it to a good point quick so nobody thinks you gypped them with a shitty early access reddit clone.

The 5.4 changes to Veigar make me very sad. Veigar is extremely squishy and vulnerable in lane. As a mid laner that stun was his engage and his disengage. Putting the delay on the stun makes him much easier to gank and also it's much easier to avoid his damage. If Veigar doesn't land his stun than the W damage will most likely be avoided. If he is being ganked the placement on his stun has to be perfect because if they flash or dodge it before the stun procs veigar is probably dead because of how squishy he is. I think they need to make the stun less obvious to dodge. By either giving it a point a drag to where maybe you can alter the size of the stun or not showing exactly where the stun will proc. Maybe try putting the warning in the center of the ring so its not as easy to side step. Also his W needs to fall faster now or be reworked because it's almost useless now. And finally if veigar is going to be more vulnerable in lane than he needs to have a higher base HP stat. More in line with midlaners who are designed to take trades rather than avoid damage all together. Thanks for reading
