Here is my tip from the time when my Riven guide was down-voted by a guy who had a "free riot points" scam site online and promoted it shamelessly in all his new guides and then down-voted all guides above him with a bunch of accounts.

At first it pissed me off, because I had put about 30hrs of writing, editing and correcting in it, but lately I just accepted that it is "just a guide on the internet" and even if 10 people down-vote you for giggles, if only a few people read your guide anyway and it is a good one- then it is ok, as long as it helped them.

The guide rating system is not perfect and in times where internet anonymity makes people behave more and more like douches it is important to understand that it's not priority to write a guide as a contest for score, but more as a manifest of thoughts to a topic to help others.

If your guides are really good, then they will manage to pass the troll-vote test.

And if not, achieve them, wait for the troll parade to be over and than update them and re- release them.

Just don't take the troll votes to heart, then those douches just get what they want. Laugh about them, because usually down-votes compensate a lack of trust in their own guide or are just proof that they might have had serious head concussions in their childhood ;)

Thanks. Well here is my reason. My Annie guide is probably my most in-depth one I have written. It is at 77%.... That is ridiculous. I honestly got to the point to where I don't give a ****.

Don't archive. Also, have you considered that people are downvoting solely because of your reaction?

Never really considered that. I honestly think that since the Annie guide percentages are soo close, that someone is just trying to get their "favorite" Annie guide to the top. IMO, I believe that Lilpwninprincess' Annie guide is better than mine.

Why feed the trolls? Honestly guide percentages are so gay, one of my main reasons for hating mobafire is because of trolls. But hey, it's not like we can do anything about that. Archiving your guides means the trolls won.

Be nice people. Just be nice. And be friendly. Then learn success.

I got downvoted on my Swain guide because I didn't consider Lich Bane as an item for him :3 Sincerely, I get where you come from, but there's this: unless writing for new champs, odds are your guide will have trouble reaching the top simply because the seats are taken. As for new champs, you may get downvoted simply because person X has a guide for the same champ and wants the top.

What to do?

Write guides if you feel they are necessary/you bring a new relevant point/you are updating info on a champ with stale guides. The worse that can happen is no one reading. The best is people getting info, thinking about it, trying it out (or not). The numbers raising and falling are just numbers, you're getting an idea across, you're not fighting a beauty contest., your e-***** won't grow due to another +vote.

As long as you get that person saying "like it, will try it out", it was already worth it.

whenever i'm sad i stop being sad and be awesome instead, true story.. I also have abs.

Everybody, one day will die, and be forgotten. Act and behave in a way that will make life interesting and fun, f*ck a mundane predictable life working monday to friday with something you derive no pleasure from; just living life out till you grow old and wither away. Find a passion, form relationships, dont be afraid to get out there and f*ck what everyone else thinks.

Even though, you shouldn't be complaining at all about troll voting.

I've warned you. You knew that people weren't nice, yet you blindly waltz into Moba, thinking that if you put work out there, people will care.

Some might, some just want to piss you off. Get over it.

Thank you everyone for the sigs. <3
