We all know that Rep, and a MobaFire denizen's "Status" (Vet, Scout, Editor, Mod, what have you) has no correlation to their skill in league.

Many of my personal concerns have been addressed with the new rework.

I understand the reality that many of our Editors and Scouts and Vets are actually players with only 300 normal wins who are barely getting their feet wet with the theory of League, and thusly might not make the 100% best decisions every time, but now we have a sort of checks and balances system.

The new system is VASTLY superior to the old one, where the same uneducated 300 win Vet might have rec'd a fairly well written guide with a fairly average build because, well, let's face it, a 300 win player might not know any better on the subject.

That was my main problem with the old system, and my frequent and repeated complaint in regards to "What a Vet was" before.

I understand this concern and sympathize with it, I think Xenasis wants the best for MobaFire, by hoping that Pro guides would be ushered towards the top.



Although there is no perfect fix for getting guides going in the right direction , the day scouts etc start rec'ing guides who have barley any games played , made "one or two good guides" get love by getting + rep'd all the time and start deciding who has a good guide or build or not is wrong. Granted there are not many pro players who come here and post their own guides I understand and as Duff said this way is in the step in the right direction.

I think I've said enough in this thread, but I just thought I'd clear something up quickly.

someone (I forgot who it was now, maybe Psi) said that if people explain why they have items they have, they will get a scout point. I can explain Tiamat on Soraka, but that doesn't make it good. Hearing explanations alone doesn't make something good.

Firstly, no, it wasn't me. I believe it was jhoi, if I'm not mistaken.
I think her point was that if the build is solid, but there's no explanation or support for the items in the guide, we'd wait for the author to explain their choices adequately before scouting their guide. That's not the same as scouting any guide whose author explains their choices.
Thanks to The_Nameless_Bard for the sig!

Psi can you be the official spokesperson for the Vets?

Please?

Pretty please? :)

I'll love you forever.

Yeah but Psi just totally undid all the damage that was being done in like two calm posts, which was just impressive to me.
