Update: Guide Patch Filter!

You may have noticed that the "browse guides" page looks quite different all of a sudden :) We have launched the start of some features that will help to not only keep the content on MOBAFire fresh, but to help readers find the freshest content and not get stuck reading outdated guides.

The biggest feature is an icon next to each guide along with an indication of how fresh or outdated the guide is. A green icon with "Ideal" means the guide has been updated since the last patch. A yellow icon with the text "Fresh" means the guide has been updated within the last 3 patches. A red icon with the text "Stale" means the guide was last updated more than 3 patches ago.

There is also a "patch" drop down on the browse guides page and on the champion database pages, that will filter out any guides that were not updated after the chosen patch. You can use this to further help narrow down the lists.

The "freshness" of a guide is based on the last publish date. All authors have to do to bring their guide up to date is click publish. However, if you do this without actually bringing it up to date, you should expect some backlash in negative votes. So make sure you really have updated things :)

Enjoy these new features and let us know what you think!

Edit: Also, the homepage has been tweaked a bit :) There is a new feature box at the top right that, for now features our next upcoming tournament but in the future will feature other contests and news.

There is also a new Live Streams box on the homepage to help draw attention to this new section and feature the busiest streams :)
