Problems with the post button today? :P

Yeah I understand it'd be a lot of work. I don't know, but #1 isn't hard to implement and I think it would be beneficial.



kk then, how about you do all the work? we'll trial it with you, and when you rage, we'll consider it deficient and never do such a thing again.

Explain:
- Dewo's WW guide which was #1 for years?
- Top Mundo guide with 3 Warmog's?
- That 3 AA Kog'Maw guide (which is now second, and yours at the top)
- Madmack's Ashe guide, which is still a higher percentage than mine
- That Zhonya's Ring Morg guide that had to be force archived
- Top Heim guide (sorry Jun, but why would anyone ever play support Heim??)
- Top Nasus guide that hasn't been updated in months

I could probably go on and on, but those are the ones I know *off the top of my head*. They have the majority votes, and they're not going to lose their top positions any time soon. I'd say more votes =/= more accuracy.

Of course there are guides that disprove that (generally there are good guides on MobaFire), but everyone who doesn't love MobaFire WILL see those guides I picked out. They will see 3 AAs on Kog'Maw, 3 Warmog's on Mundo, Black Cleaver & Sunfire's & Hextech Gunblade & Malady & Wit's End & Madred's Bloodrazor on Warwick.



Thank you. Law of large numbers does not apply to Guides. Sorry.

I have over 25 posts and still don't consider myself an expert enough to vote on guides, so your point is irrelevant.

My point was the amount of time it would take, it is simply impossible. If we trialled it with you, you'd collapse. Simple as that.

There was something about those guides that a lot of people liked enough to get them to the top. More votes = more accuracy still, it's like ELO. The more games you play and win/lose the more accurate your score is.

Sheep votes keep guides at the top, the score is still accurate because that many people like the guide STILL even if you don't like it. Some guides work at low ELO that others don't. The score reflects how many people like the guide, not how viable it is for high level play.

The problem is that all guides aren't getting equal attention, or more votes = more accurate would be more obvious... But that's not something we can fix. People generally only look at things at the top of websites, this has been proven with eyescans on commercial websites etc.

I'm going to refrain from speaking about jhoi's list of guides because I'm sure almost anyone can see the flaws in them by just a glance. I do really want to reinforce Potatis' quote about MOBAFire's rep since it was brought up. Because pro's downtalk and attempt to get traffic on their own sites, we already get knocked down a bit but with a few bad guides at the top "representing" MOBAFire's "best guides", it really does not make us look any better when people neglect people's trash talking on MOBAFire and try to give us a shot and find that some of those remarks are true.

Not really sure where I'm going with it either but it's something really important that has been on my mind for a while.
