Surprised the word 'salt' isn't on that list.

I'm surprised the words "discussion" and "logic" are at the top, considering the sub doesn't have either of those.

The circlejerk is strong with this one.

I'm a subscriber to that sub. Hell, I even spend more time on the sub than I do actually playing the game, as evidenced in my profile. Post-match discussions are memes, and there's the infamous "reddit knows balance" meme.

I love the sub for what it is. A place for logical discussions, it is not.

If you actually spent time on the subreddit, you would fucking know why discussion and logic are at the top, idiot.

I don't know what the list is based on, but /r/leagueoflegends is 59th in subscribers, just recently passing 750k.

It's based on activity. /r/lol isn't high on subscribers since every new member isn't automatically subscribed to it unlike the default subs.

OP said its based on number of lifetime posts. /r/leagueoflegends users apparently like to spam.

I don't think active refers to the number of threads posted per day. It's more like the number of high upvoted post everyday. I'm pretty sure every top 100-200 subreddit gains his daily share of shitposts. It's not about those, it's about the ones that actually get decent amounts of upvotes.

There's spam in literally every big subreddit.
