So I was looking down through some tier lists. Found that a user had made multiple tier lists for different roles, so I looked at their Support Tier List (I have one) and found that it was VERY similar to mine. My text description for "God Tier" (theirs says S tier but clearly copy-pastes my description twice for some reason) and the entire tier itself is the same on both of our lists, and the rest of their tier list is almost the exact same as well. I have picture proof that I can upload if they change theirs and try to deny this, but for now the lists are right here: MINE and THEIRS.

I wonder if their other tier lists are also copies of other users' tier lists? Sorry if this isn't posted in the right place, I'm not really familiar with the boards... thank you.

I checked out their lists and it looks like two of them (the mid and support ones) contain plagiarized content. I've warned the user to remove the plagiarized tier list descriptions. If they aren't removed within a few days I'll delete the lists.

One thing to note is that certain game elements are not protected by plagiarism rules. Tier lists and champion builds tend to be similar across players and it's not uncommon for two players to have the same opinion about the best champions or builds. For this reason, we don't protect these game elements under our plagiarism rules. Text descriptions of champions in your tier lists, and the tier descriptions themselves will be protected by plagiarism rules, but the actual champions in each tier will not.

Thanks for the report. Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.
Thanks to Minho for the sig!

Yeah, I understand that the tiers themselves can't be regulated because player opinions often overlap and there will inevitably be things that look the same. I was mostly confused by the tier descriptions and you took care of that, so thank you!!
