User blog comment:NeonSpotlight/Where did comments go?/@comment-5384871-20120808171806/@comment-2124153-20120808174031

The comments follow the content. People aren't here talking about their dogs, they are talking about the subject matter on the page, usually a champion. Calling this "come for social" is not only bad English, but it's a misrepresentation of what goes on in the first place.

Comments flow into corrections, because Riot is very bad about communicating the nuances of champion abilities and items. I can think of a half dozen examples off the top of my head, where something would rot forever unless a random person pointed it out in the comments. The admins are not capable of maintaining the accuracy of the data, they don't have the expertise, and there aren't enough of the ones that do.
