Merry Christmas to you all from the MOBAFire crew! We hope you are all enjoying the holidays!
Just for kicks, we created a MOBAFire group on Steam! If you use Steam, you should pop over and join up! The group is named "MOBAFire" of course. A lot of our members play games aside from LoL and this is a handy way to find them and set up games. It also has group chat, if we get enough people in there you will start to see us admins popping in a lot :)
See you there!
See you there!
We have added 3 new forum topics and shifted some things around. The new topics are:
We have also created a new section called "Create & Share" which contains the topics for build and guide discussion, new game ideas and signatures.
Enjoy!
- Mentoring - Offer to mentor and train other players in-game, or seek help from the pros!
- Build & Guide Discussion - Ask for help and advice on your MOBAFire builds and guides here! This is the place where it's OK to link to your build.
- Champion & Item Ideas - Share your ideas for new champions, new items or other improvements to LoL!

We've just put up an update on the site that is focused on organizing and cleaning up the vast sea of content on MOBAFire. We will continue to improve on this aspect but this is a good step in that direction.
The previous 300 character minimum requirement for a guide to be considered complete has been upped to 5,000 characters. Additionally, the browse page "quality" filter has been modified to the following four options:
The default quality filter has been changed to "Full Guide" as well. Listings across the site also filter out any guides that do not meet the 5,000 character requirement (some may still be showing all guides, they will be changed shortly). The warning about incomplete guides has been modified to include a note that any attempts to cheat the character count by spamming letters/words/phrases will be reviewed by the moderators, and will be considered a breach of site rules. So don't do it :)
The purpose of this change is to make it significantly easier for users to find the quality guides, to help combat spam, to drive more traffic and in turn more votes and comments to the highest quality guides, and to reduce the amount of time needed to track and moderate all of the posts. Note that it is perfectly fine to post a guide with no description or with a very short description. However, those guides will no longer be promoted around the site as there are just WAY too many now.
Finally, we have promoted our first moderator! We asked DEWO if he would be willing to help us keep things under control and he has accepted, offering up his own time to help organize and moderate the site. We really appreciate the help, DEWO!! We will eventually promote more moderators in the future, we are considering this a "beta" for future moderation on the site. We'll be working with DEWO to improve the moderator controls and establish some moderator guidelines.

- Recommended <- this is the same as before
- Full Guide <- all complete guides that meet the new 5,000 character length minimum
- Build Only <- all guides that have no description, an incomplete build, or that have a description below the 5,000 character length requirement
- All <- this will also show everything, including archived and guest guides
