True dat, bro. Plus, the wikiers here are an extremely diverse group of people (not just based on playstyles, but also personalities, backgrounds, etc.) and allowing us to collectively share our thoughts and opinions is beneficial overall. Yes there are plenty of forum trolls, but it is comparatively less on this wiki then, say, General Discussion.

Even though the primary purpose of this wiki is to gather relevent facts and not discuss opinions, I still feel that the comments sections are out-of-the-way enough that most people don't even bother reading it as is (aka - most of my friends).

Bottom-line: Whether it was the primary function of not, this wiki provided a relatively safe place to discuss LoL without too much fear of being trolled or mocked (unless you knew you had posted something really trolly). I've spent a lot of time on comments page of nearly every champion and I've seen plenty of respectful dialogue (much of which has helped me out).
