What's wrong with the Boards?

I just saw a massive upvoted thread there that has to be the worst circlejerk thread I have ever read in any forum of any game, literally reading the OP and the most upvoted coments is depressing that this happens in the official Boards where is supposed to be the place to talk with rioters.

People who frequent the boards are the ones you see rage in your solo queue games. They're immature, mean, and ignorant.

But sadly Riot communicates there more than they communicate here. They're really talking with the wrong crowd.

Edit: I have a natural bias against the boards. Maybe they don't get more discussion from rioters than there. But I just think the discussions that do go down are so low in quality that whatever amount they get still is un-justified and not worth riot's time. If you don't believe me. Just go browse the front page of the boards and then look at how they talk about/respond to Riot.

Interesting to see that sentiment, because boards often complains about reddit in exactly the same way.
