Boards›Maps & Modes

Separate boards for each map.

Because our existing communities are being alienated Every map had a subforum before it was deleted so we should at least get a separate section for every map. The current format of "Maps & Modes" doesn't promote specific discussion for the non-SR modes as we have nowhere to post content and ideas to our respective communities. Dominion players don't want to read about ARAM and vice-versa, so why are our player bases all bunched up together? The ARAM/TT/Dominion subforums all had an active community but we are all alienated by this change.

Because it's a popularity based system On top of that, the "Maps & Modes" is also shared with Summoner's Rift, meaning that the content posted by the less popular game modes would most likely be drowned in the overwhelming popularity of SR due to the nature of this Reddit copycat popularity driven system.

Give us separate boards for The Howling Abyss, The Twisted Treeline, The Crystal Scar, Summoner's Rift and for featured game modes (URF and whatnot) so that our communities can regroup and resume our activities.

Competitive content creation was something that kept the forums somewhat alive in each of the maps (Sauron's dominion guide is a prime example).

Those threads were easily the most popular ones with the most upvotes. They also were the places to go for the most constructive discussions and information regarding the format.

By giving us additional board sections, we can continue to create map-related content without being flooded by non-related posts.

Rito, please.

If I could upvote this post 1000 times I would. Sadly, I no longer believe Riot gives two shits about alternate maps and their communities.

Riot, you have so many fucks. More fucks than most other companies. You are the fuckest people I know. Completely fuck-loaded.

So I ask: Is it really such a big deal to give us ONE? Just one fuck. That's all it takes. Find ONE fuck to give.

It seems like it would be really easy to code in a CS, TT, HA, custom games boards... We used to have them (except for custom game modes people who were consistently out of luck)

But Riot doesn't care about alternate game modes, and seems to actively be trying to kill them off... So I imagine we will be ignored... again.

It feels like this company has just gone off a cliff, 'by gamers, for gamers' is turning into a joke, instead of a real vision/mission statement.

I actually stopped using the forums because I couldn't be bothered to sift through threads to find ones about ARAM. Please give us separate boards Riot!

Elkington IV10/8/2014, 8:15:51 PM3 votes

Yeah navigating through this feels kind of tedious and like a step back from what we had before. This new board(s) brings no benefits over the old format, at least not so far.

Yeah as a Dominion player, the mode is in a sad state. Dominion basically is perpetually getting the eve treatment.

Dr Jarjarbinks3/17/2015, 7:39:14 AM2 votes

why cant riot give us a little "+" symbol to right of maps and modes which opens the tree with each map listed

Rebonack10/9/2014, 3:07:53 PM2 votes

Come on, Riot.

You're making everyone who isn't a SR player pretty sad here.

Sir ArmaMalum10/8/2014, 8:24:29 PM2 votes

Can confirm this has been asked for every since there was a "Maps and Modes" Sub-boards created.

texasaurus rex10/8/2014, 9:18:40 PM2 votes

There's no reason not to have separate forums. It could only lead to positive interaction and help foster each map's community.

Rebel Dragon10/10/2014, 8:22:51 PM2 votes

In the meantime, for Dominion players...some of us are trying to revive the reddit board. Feel free to swing by!

I would love to see this for the permanent modes, but I can't see an URF board being anything more than "Bring back URF mode."

The lack of map specific boards is quickly becoming the nail in the coffin for many of the communities that were based around alternate maps

Yes please. :)

Issues like this are not so easily forgotten.

Cross-posting from a similar thread as a shameless bump: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/summoners-rift/y8nmYw9d-can-we-split-this-board-into-sub-boards-for-the-4-maps-and-temporary-game-modes

What the actual fuck is wrong with Riot for not doing this by default?

They haven't even bothered to re-post Map Specific Balance content and I sincerely doubt they're going to assist with cross-posting guide content because they sure as hell aren't going to bother releasing quality information about the maps themselves.

Seriously, you actually named the URL Summoner's Rift. You could AT LEAST PRETEND to give a damn about everyone else. (http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/summoners-rift )

Rebonack11/9/2014, 1:51:05 AM1 votes

I have a really hard time not believing that this in an intentional move on Riot's part to try to kill off the non-SR communities in League.

This makes me sad.

Kholdstare1311/11/2014, 2:53:56 PM1 votes

Who wants to start buying stock in Riot, gain control of the board, and forcibly remove Morello from power?

SKOBODO11/13/2014, 7:59:04 PM1 votes

Could they at least remove Summoner's Rift from these boards? It's hard enough for Dominion/TT/ARAM to get attention, they shouldn't have to compete with SR as well on their own forum board.

Kholdstare1311/19/2014, 9:10:48 PM1 votes

I'm just so, so tired of this shit. How has something this simple not happened yet? Does Riot want us gone THAT badly? DO they hate us THAT much?

Rebonack11/24/2014, 4:42:40 PM1 votes

Still no new board split for the Non-SR communities.

Game breaking bugs presently ruining Twisted Treeline and Dominion is still languishing.

"See you on the Rift!" -Riot

I tried Summoner's Rift over the past few days. I tried to enjoy it. I really did. The new jungle makes it almost bearable, but it still feels like the majority of the game is just faffing about like always.

This needs more attention.

Kholdstare1312/18/2014, 6:28:53 PM1 votes

This remains an issue.

SKOBODO10/10/2014, 6:56:45 PM1 votes

This needs to be done.

Cloud O Smoke10/10/2014, 7:58:23 PM1 votes

Firmly agreed.

New boards still suck. They seriously lack organization.

featured game modes (URF and whatnot)

Love how that is the first game mode you go to. Psh.
