If someone were to actually ask me why I think my guides get upvotes instead of going "assume assume assume imply imply imply", I would tell them, "Because people think they look nice" since that's what many of the comments on the guides actually say. I'm not sure why Mooninites is saying that because I said something about LaCorpse, I must be trying to say that I think otherwise about my own guides. Perhaps it's because I get upvoted for a similar reason that I am able to identify why LaCorpse has the #1 champ guide on the site?

And how did my Quinn guide get to #1? Obviously because people think it looks nice (edit: oh, and because I'm "Astrolai"~) - the comments / say that much. However, there is also a single comment where a person tells me their own little story: Something like, "Thank you for telling me how to use Quinn's ult. I used to use it immediately and I would die/feed a lot, but after reading this guide I carried my team by splitpushing and went 11/2."

I even looked up their profile on LoLking - score/etc was as they said it was. Unlike jhoi, this person seemed to have understood after reading my guide that Quinn doesn't have a passive that -- unlike another 525 range carry who may or may not be named Graves or who may or may not have been compared to Quinn in the opening -- gives her free defenses that allows her to stay in the thick of things when she goes melee mode.

If you have actual issues with my Quinn guide, you are free to actually post a comment on the guide instead of making some post in another thread. By the way, it's past 20 votes now. Since you don't understand why it's #1, you can go downvote it, jhoi.

And yes, the easiest way to get scouted is to be friends with scouts. I have said this before multiple times in the scout forums, and the response jhoi gave me was something about you guys having a circlejerk and me not being part of it.

Oh, and you know what's great about this? None of this discussion would be happening if it wasn't LaCorpse. The circlejerk is strong.
hi embracing. yes i play ff14 now.

Spoiler: Click to view


because apparantly this is a thing now

Also what is wrong with saying Quinn has no natural tankiness through a comparison to Graves? It's absolutely true and they're similar champs.

Annie and Karthus are different champions with different playstyles

the above statement is also true, but why the **** would you need to include that **** in your guide?

lol Astrolia, I haven't downvoted a single guide of yours, so I don't know why you think I'd do it now.

Proof (because clearly I am a downvote fiend!):


[edited by mod]


Oh, and to anyone who thinks, "PHOTOSHOPPED!", while I'm pleased you think I had the time to open Photoshop on my slow laptop, edit and move around images to look perfect (I didn't think y'all thought I was so skilled!), I really didn't. Happy to Skype call whoever disbelieves me, and screen share the Scout Tools page.

Also, Wayne. Funny. You really think Astrolai didn't get upvotes for: being high elo, being a well-known user, services prior rendered (previous guides etc), or/and coding? Naive.

Off to volunteering now. Teaching children with learning difficulties is easier than trying to decipher the inane posts in this thread. Toodles!

^ Astrolia's post already showed Moon was wrong to assume the things he did, as I said before. No need to fight a battle that has already been won.

You missed the point, Annie and Karthus are completely different while Quinn and Graves are very similar.

A better Annie example would be using Leblanc's Distortion to point out that Annie has low mobility and is very reliant on Flash in comparison, since Annie actually has some similarity with Leblanc.

Yes, I imagine it must be hard to decipher posts when you don't actually read anything that disagrees with you.

She can say whatever she wants, but given what I've read from her posts, she thinks an entirely different thing.

If thinly-veiled insults and targeted posts attacking other users continue flying around, I WILL close this thread and begin handing out infractions. Keep comments constructive and polite. A topic like the one posted by the OP should be bringing us closer as a community, not dividing us.

First and last warning.
