The system supports that idea, but I doubt you'd get many people to agree to do it. People don't want to look through guides and find deserving ones that are less popular, that's a lot more work than just giving +scouts to already popular guides or guides written by people they know. Also, it would mean, in some cases, giving lower ranked or unverified authors credit for writing guides with decent content (even if they need some help to get things where they should be), which – I don't care if this sounds bitter or not – a lot of people have never seemed willing to do.

I'm not trying to poke at anyone in particular here, because I'm definitely guilty of some of what I stated above, I'm just calling it as I see it.

Keep in mind that this system was created back when top rated guides were still "stuck" at the top, before changes to the voting system were made. You're correct, Vengenator, highlighting underrated guides is exactly what the system was made for. Without wanting to sound old, things were simply different back then, however.

Thanks to MissMaw for the signature!

The numbers are completely irrelevant in this case because we'd need well over 100 active community members, right now, to get them to a reasonable level.
The scouted guides is a bit worrying though I mean TWO points? That's a pretty high standard you're setting if two people only agree a guide is excellent for 1 in 6 champions.

Basically MOBAFire.

Maybe a voting system for scouts might work? Like if there's a guide scout A likes, scout A can initiate a +scout vote, in which case other scouts get notified and are able to vote on the guide within a realistic time frame.

Also, the interface for scouted guides probably needs fixing before the general MF populace gives a **** about it, because I'm pretty sure most don't even know what it means / care enough about it.

I understand that the scout system is meant to be a privileged system but these numbers pretty accurately represents Greece's treasury.


As a Greek, I feel offended.

Indeed. Maybe we should arrange a referendum about it :^)
