Yes, the new scores/ranking are winning in the poll by a long shot. If you want to go into more detail about what aspect you dislike, I can explain to you why it works that way.

yea i dont see how the % scores benefit more then they used to, no1 will ever have a 100% guide cus of trolls etc, just seems like builds never look as good as they used to, and the builds that were top like shaco the insane and jungle kind deserve that, i don't know seems ill jsut used to it =)

The old scores did not compare everyone on a level playing field. Good builds would accrue more and more votes over time (Shaco the insane) because there weren't down votes balancing it out, to the point that no one could compete - the rich just got richer. This new system is much more fair in that a very good 2 week old build can be directly ranked next to an equally good 3 month old build provided the newer build has enough total votes to counter the weights, as well as a good ratio of +/-, as it should be.

The weights help to counteract any unfairly negative voting as well as prevent low vote builds from rising too quickly. A 3/3 build is now ranked fairly next to a 90/100 build. A few negative votes (for example, some people voting down simply because they dislike the author) will also not sink a build - in fact they will increase your vote count which in turn causes your score to be weighted less heavily. This makes those few rogue negative votes have much less impact on otherwise good builds.

Keep in mind this isn't a system we made up. This is in use on a large number of websites and has been put through its paces countless times before. Honestly, this is the system we should have been using from day 1. Learning is fun, amirite? :)

In regards to builds not being 100%, well they weren't 100% before either, it just required you to look at the vote count to see that there were in fact negative votes. If your build is #1, does it really matter that you don't have 200/200 votes? :)

I have additional question.

How does the "Similar builds" work?
It seems to totaly ignore my builds o_O

For example any Yi guide has plenty "similar builds" but it NEVER shows mine, eventho it is top rated Yi build on this site o_O

Same for Warwick It even shows the same build as similar build:
http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/the-utmost-ineffective-warwick-magewick-5444

In similar builds inside magewick guide you see... magewick guide but not my jungle king one o_O

But it works for my Panth build. this is highly odd.

Do you realy want to FORCE the new guides to be so much better seen than the old ones that you filer them too much?
Did i help you? Click that +Rep

Thanks to jhoijhoi for the sig!

Hmm, no this is not working as intended. I'll take a look at why this is happening.
