No real point in making guides on this site

[quote=Darcurse][quote=Joobieo] [quote=DuffTime] An example, if I might. We have a platinum player, who is part of a team which has played a reasonable amount against top teams. You can see here in his guide that he rattles off some of the top player's name in succession; http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/chandros-tournament-corki-136711 And yet, only 23 votes. This has worked in tournament format against teams like CLG, but it's not established yet as the #1 guide. I think the issue people are having is that logically, that doesn't make sense, and could potentially look bad on MobaFire to outsiders. *Goes to nominate* Also; [quote=orhpeus] furthermore if someone really big in the LOL community gives their stamp of approval that might make MOBAfire appear more legit. Getting that to happen would be as simple as asking: "hey big platinum ELO guys test these builds out and give us feedback" and maybe offer some incentive. Of course I do not know any high ELO players, but I am sure finding them would be simple enough. [/quote] Why would they do that? I wouldn't even want to do that, and I'm not a famous high elo player. Unless you pay them, I don't think they will test out guides written by lower skill players. [/quote] I believe Chandro is the highest elo person whose semi active here . Wish people would relalize that and he's actually nice. [/quote] Indeed a nice guy, if he's considered a top player he's one of the few that dont behave like a douchebag. But I'm totally with the OP on that topic. The problem therefore rests mainly within the community, maybe only withtin Moba's. Regarding Chandro's guide: Only plain text, even while being short in length it doesnt keep those entertained enough with a mental state of 16 and below... And overall it's pretty accurate to say that the most reviewed guides are the ones who luckily reach top or are less in numbers early. The greater part of the reviewers ("I just made this acc to upvote...") are only here for a quick good walktrough on their favorite champ. They couldnt care less about guides that arent placed within the 3-5 best and renowned enough.[/quote]

[quote=Drasq][quote=DuffTime] We have a Cho guide that has RoA in it at the top, loooooooooooooooooooooool. At 94% We've got a long way to go yet. [/quote] Then check the upcoming [[Cho'gath]] builds and vote up to counter ;)! Mine for example! Staring at the goat, won't make it move.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Well now that best of 30 isn't the first thing new users see when they log on it doesn't matter. Nothing that isn't scout recommended will ever be a top rated guide.[/quote]

[quote=Drain][quote=cooper56] Most time once there is top guide no or high rated no one will look at lower ones and ignore you so dont bother trying even if put as much work as high rated ones. [/quote] This is basically the truth. But then again, why bother making a guide in the first place when there are already 500+ for every champion? It's your own fault to have wasted your own time. I won't be making any guides simply because the site has enough already on any hero I've mastered.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]With a game as continually changing and updating as League, this is not a realistic mindset.[/quote]

[/quote] I make guides because I have different ideas on how to build champions, and would like to share. If you look at all the [[kennen]] guides, theyre all WotA > boots > rylai > rabadon > abyssal or void staff > zhonya. >:l[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]That's a good / the best Kennen build. Lol.[/quote]

[quote=Blowfeld]Well, I say things are partially true, as there are a lot of guides who copy most of the top rated guides but a little worse and bring nothing new to the table. But every once in a while a really informative and beautiful guide appears and claims the throne. Or somebody has a great "out of the box idea" or makes a great generic guide about a subject that helps the community in reflection and self improvement. And well, if somebody thinks his or her guide is really good then he has a whole community who can help in smoothing some minor issues and making the guide as accessible as possible. It is not about being the No.1 guide, but about giving people a helping hand when they look for information.[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]The one thing Mobafire doesn't have is a guide about female champion breast sizes and how they're proportional to their OPness. Perhaps this should be in theory crafting?[/quote]
