That was the same reason he didn't want to have the discord for the league. I think we should probably open it up a little bit.Which I feel is a good idea. The evidence for me is the PBE where the conversation is 100% discord which causes a lot of quick reactions, overreactions and for myself, not a lot of involvement frankly. Now PBE has other issues not related to that, but I think this is one of them.
I don't want to totally do away with Discord as everything has it's place, but it is fundamentally quick-fire, easily forgotten messaging medium that lends itself to a lot of arguing and non-productive conversations. The forums being a slower-paced medium allow for a different type of conversation that I believe is better for the long-term health of the league.
So I think all these other areas have their place, but the forum should be the top spot.
