The 4-day wait period for new champions is very nice, lowers the trolls down sensibly, I also like the comment to vote. Though, sometimes trolls still get in and ruin guides that have the potential to become some of the best. I have an easy solution, Add a feature where you have to have a certain amount of characters to vote within you comment. Make it high enough that trolls will be to lazy to reach, but short enough so average people can vote without boring them. Something along these lines would help out a lot of guides.

People would just spam random characters. It wouldn't help much and, I think it would discourage the people would just say "+1 Good build" and move on.

TL;DR
It's going to do more hurting than helping.

Yeah, really, it's not hard to go...

I love pancakesI love pancakes I love pancakes I love pancakes I love pancakes I love pancakes I love pancakes I love pancakes I love pancakes I love pancakes I love pancakes

Took me 5 sec, copy and paste ftw.



Thanks for suggesting things though, because there is a lot of discontent about troll votes and the comment to vote feature the way it is, and I love to see new ideas.
Thanks to GrandMasterD for my sig!

First, the 4-day delay is NOT to eliminate troll votes.
It was implimented because there's absolutely no way people can write guides on day 1. It's to relieve the pressure on writers who actually want to put some effort into their guide.

Second, your idea doesn't really fix it at all.

There are also people who just don't feel like explaining their upvote.
Uncool to alienate lazy users who just want to say "Well done."

Troll votes are also a useful part of the system, there's currently discussion to ease troll votes back in (yes, increase them) without negatively affecting the early votes where impact on the guides are heaviest.

I see, so my idea needs a major revision

It's also just more discouragement from voting. We need more votes, not less.

... and we will swap comments like "sds" to "sdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsdsd"

No thank you.

Also like Matt said, we need more votes not less so making voting even more complicated isnt gonna give anything good.

Sowwy.

haha haha hahaha. Great idea. Your input is legendary. I saw you downvote one of the top guides saying, "inb4 [name of build maker] gets mad".
