Can you report someone for plagerizing a build? Elementz clearly stole this build off the previously most popular and just called it his own adding no new elements or items or advice. he then downvoted my build for no reason and commented "Interesting build" with a downvote. His build is: http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/yorick-king-of-killing-you-with-dead-things-100242. Please take a look. I'd love for an admin or moderator to take due action in response to his obvious theft and unfair punishment on my build for simply calling him out. I would really appreciate it if someone took action. Thank you kindly.

? his comment on mine was very uncalled for. He down voted me for no reason other than calling him out as a plagerizer

^^ Don't panic if guides on MobaFire have the same build, build order, masteries, summoners and runes.

Compare the top Ashe guides, for example. The only differences between them are the written segments :)

thank you for your response :)
I do realize this is usually true but the problem is this "Elementz" fellow did not even bother adding in a real written section. Read over it and compare it to the former top guide. It hardly qualifies as a skin and bones chapter. He gives no real advice, insight or tips. I just don't like to see people copy a build and then surpass the one the plagiarized to get there. It does not seem fair. He then trolls my completely unique build and walks away unscathed. This does not seem fair at all to me.

If you are that upset about someone having such a similar build as you, im not sure anyone can do anything for you. You're not gaining or losing anything from whether or not your build or Elementz build is top rated. other than recognition from people you don't know. It's just a game, and I honestly think your time would be better spent not getting upset about this. There are after all only a few different ways to build each champ effectively, and similar builds pop up all the time.

Astia, I thank you for your concern. But the build in question is nothing like my own. My build is one of the only unique ones for Yorick on this site. I care because he trolled my build, which obviously I worked and continue to work very hard on. And it also seems unjust to see him get away with a straight copy of another build which someone else has been trying to hard to maintain. I'm sure you would feel wronged if it were your hard work being stolen. Please glance over the two builds and tell me I'm wrong or just being childish.

As Elementz said the guides are not nearly the same. Jaycawbz's guide doesn't include manamune, and the building order is different. Also the skill order is completely different, as is masteries. Those differencies are enough for me to call them two separate guides. What should be kept in mind is that LoL has only fixed amount of items, so two DPS builds for same champ have most likely 4/6 same items.

I agree with you that downvoting without constructive criticism isn't the right way to do it, no matter how bad the build is. I personally try to test a build couple of games before judging anything.

i looked through most of the top ones i dont see anything that is the same in elements other than having a few items that are the same... atmogs... oh wow.
every single ashe guide on the site has an IE. is that plagiarism cause everyone came to an understanding that IE works on ashe? if multiple highly rated guides have the same items that probably says those items work for that champion.

copy and paste what has been plagiarized please?

Many thanks to Canoas for my epic sig
