I recently started using mobafire because I belive i will enjoy the community and I want to make guides.
What I want to know is how does the % guide rating reflect your (or my) guide's success?

Also I'm, new here, but if you want to play some games, add me and we can do some. I play very casual norms of any mode.

The % rating is pretty much your guide's score, so it's very important for your guide's success.

The % rating is a summary of your guide's ratio of upvotes/downvotes.

Thanks to GrandMasterD for my sig!

It's basically just for people searching for a guide, to know which ones other players liked/thought were good.

How many % you have tells people how many people liked it and how many disliked. It purely depends on thumbs up/thumbs down and is there to show success of one guide. More % means better guide, simple as that.


Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure.

No, lol. It means more people liked it (or are friends with the writer). There is a difference.

I didn't mean better guide by items and stuff. I meant bigger % means better guide on rankings. Better as more % you have, higher your guide will be.


Don't hate, it's too big a burden to bear.

I think they start at 50%. If someone upvotes you, the percentage goes up, if someone downvotes you it goes down. By what amount depends on what percent you have. So you got 6% from that upvote, but if you had already been at 90% you would have gotten like, 0.5% or something.
