Can we split this board into sub-boards for the 4 maps and temporary game modes?

We could really use to split the Maps and Modes board into separate sub-boards for each of the 4 maps (and one for temp game modes). The Dominion and TT communities really rely on having their own areas in order to have discussions and get information out, and the small size of those communities means that posts would get quickly buried under SR stuff and the infinite "BRING BACK URF PLS" threads.

EDIT: Made a post in the Boards Feedback board, where it's more likely to get someone higher up's attention.

Agreed.

I personally don't give even a single fk about the complaints of ARAM players or the constant whining of Summoners Rift solo queuers, TT nerds need their place to spam for end of season rewards team recruitment, and Dominion players need somewhere to go to vent about the next end of the world as they know it.

Trying to condense all of that whining into the a single area just leads to to masses of SR brats drowning out everyone else due to sheer numbers.

TL:DR: we need a different board for each different map because otherwise it simply devolves into another GD, and that just "splits the playerbase".

This will end the map, I think. We can't have this. This is horrible. First off, the URL is called summoner's Rift. Wtf? Secondly, its a jumbled mess of a bunch of different crap. TT and Dom need their own sections, pls.

I, too, will be throwing in my hat with my fellow players. TT, Dominion, and even ARAM players need somewhere that allows them to discuss their respective maps without getting buried under a giant heap of never-ending calls for URF to return and half-baked Featured Mode ideas.

Riot please. Yes most of like SR but give the other maps some love would you.

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)

Well the board is called http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/summoners-rift so I think Riot couldnt care less anymore. They really need to start acting like they care and not writing everyone off because they are slowly losing their playerbase to BOTS and smurfs due to banned players if they don't start treating their Community all the same.

I'm honestly pretty upset over this. A large chunk of our community bailed a few weeks ago as a result of Riot's promise to continue doing 'maintenance' on the map and nothing else. I was willing to stick around and see if Riot was going to make good on giving us something to help improve the health of Dominion without giving us ranked.

But this?

This seems like an intention campaign to destroy what's left of our community.

It says Summoner's Rift in the URL for God's sake.

lol... a forum mod deleted what stez had to say. Good job Riot. Ruin dominion, Delete our forum, and then silence complaints about your horrible customer service. Really makes me trust that this company is anything other than a den of vipers...

So... who here wants to boycott Riot and give Blizzard all our money instead?

tagartou10/8/2014, 1:25:57 PM5 votes

I used to really like the SR forums because it was relevant to me. When I headed to these boards the top posts were all dom/TT/ARAM. It would be nice to have the split again because there are people that don't care much about anything outside their chosen game mode simply because they don't play it.

Rebonack10/7/2014, 4:23:13 AM4 votes

Seriously, though. This is awful.

First Riot shits on our dreams by informing us Ranked will never be a thing, now they shut down our community board, too?

What the hell is going on here?

RiotRiotForScience10/2/2014, 8:54:54 PM4 votes

At very least we should create a set of core threads to be repositories for Modes ideas, For Aram Feedback etc etc... I did that on the old forums. Would you want me to set those up here too?

Stez00710/1/2014, 7:59:15 PM4 votes

Sad part is, this post is already being buried. And that's how Riot wants it: circlejerk is more important than actual concerns. Concerns are for idiots that should play other games because fuck them, we're Riot and we know better than everyone else.

SylianEUW10/6/2014, 8:55:21 PM3 votes

This is pretty awful. It should be split, as others have mentioned. Having a few threads is not enough.

{{summoner:10}} Dominion! (And TT and ARAM, and perhaps one for alternate game modes, like URF, and Hide & Seek etc).

Bump. For the fuckest of sakes BUMP.

The only alternative to a full separate board would be to implement a tagging system, and allow view filtering by tag so as to view all posts within that map, and set up default filters for each map that can be applied or tagged with 1 click, so new players with interest in our maps will notice them and can easily see what we have to offer for advice etc.

The ideal is still to recreate the old sections as their own boards, and I suspect that would still be easier to implement.

Riot ignoring its players yet again.

You have until HotS goes open to fix this, or the population is going to vanish entirely, and the skin money with it.

Hey look. This thread got buried by worthless crap. WHAT A SURPRISE.

Kürama10/1/2014, 3:05:45 AM2 votes

I paid some attention to this board (maps n modes) Today and realised it's not that active, which is probably the reason why they condensed all of them into one.

Looking at the forums, they weren't as active either.

Though this can be to players being accustomed to the forums and liking them more than the boards, so once they decide to disable posting on the forums, here will likely speed up.

Question is, will it speed up enough for them to create separate sub boards for each map?

Kholdstare1310/1/2014, 10:23:18 PM2 votes

Bump. Please. We need this. Do not force posts to be buried. The URL is just a massive middle finger if it's really meant to encompass all 4. Don't do this to us, Riot.

Chromatic Eagle10/2/2014, 10:42:10 PM2 votes

I'd love it if Riot made sub-boards in general. Try to recreate the old forum sections.

How many months does it take to just ADD A FEW BOARDS!!?

FOODFOOD10/6/2014, 9:24:15 PM1 votes

Gonna leave my 2 cents in for this... It would be nice if, instead of of "New | Hot | Best | Recent" or whatever it says at the top in Maps & Modes, to have "Summoners Rift | Twisted Treeline | Crystal Scar | Howling Abyss". I'm pretty sure we get few enough posts that we don't need New Hot Best, etc.

I'm still on this. Why isn't the boards team?

Jeddite2/3/2015, 5:35:19 PM1 votes

Because Tamat said that there isn't enough interest/activity to justify the sub-boards.

(He said it in a direct response to my asking him -- in a thread in the General Discussion sub-board several weeks ago)

-Say there isn't enough interest to justify x.

-x community dwindles due to lack of support.

-x community points it out and asks for support.

-Say there isn't enough interest to justify x.

Typical riot for ya, if you aren't playing the one true e-sports mode sponsored by mountain dew-ritos, you're a second class citizen.

B3ER10/21/2014, 9:00:13 PM1 votes

Yeah the problem with this is that no one plays the other maps. The boards move slow as it is, this would just bring everything to a crawl.
