[quote=Wayne3100][quote=jhoijhoi]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.[/quote] I never said that. I'd continue this discussion, but I just see no point if you're not even reading my posts properly. I'm done.[/quote]

[quote=H4xDefender]Being high elo, coding well, and active in the community doesn't mean you get upvotes. My darius guide was not good when I first released it, and it wasn't good when I released it for the second time. Keep in mind I had the platinum border for a good time after I released it the second time. (I know plat isn't diamond but w/e). I know i'm not the nicest or most active guy on moba, but the point is, I got feedback from mobafire veterans who told me to fix my guide instead of looking at my badge and upvoting, and I worked hard on fixing it, making it look better, and adding in other things. I am a platinum player, but it doesn't mean i'm always right, not even close. I take criticism and suggestions and instead of saying "oh you can do that its w/e idc" I took it and improved my guide to where it is today. (Unless its obvious trolling) I make sure I have sections that explain almost everything I pick and why, from item selection to summoner spells, something most people think are obvious, but are actually helpful to bronze/silver players. Out of 22 votes on my guide, with I believe all of them being upvotes, maybe 5 or 6 of them are from well known mobafire members. I'm not a coding genius. My guides are super ugly in comparison to someone like lacorpse's and astrolia's, yet my guide is currently sitting at 88%. Nothing super high but it's something. Yes I guess you could say "its all because you are high elo and get frontpaged durr" but that didn't stop people from downvoting my guide when it was first released, why is it different now? tl;dr being popular, helpful/active, high elo, and a good coder isn't the end all be all for getting a highly rated guide. you need to have useful substance if you want to climb the rankings of top guides.[/quote]

[quote=DarkPercy]guise pls clam donw If it interests any of you, my guides had reached their position (or really close to what they are now) BEFORE I had the platinum badge... BUT, there were no badge back then so I can't tell if the high elo featured thing = free upvotes. To be honest I think so. And a guide that looks really nice can have the most stupid info in the entire world and still get upvotes (this has been proven many times imo). So yes, having a guide that looks nice, has the high elo badge and has an author with many mobafire friends that instantly upvote your guide WILL make your guide very likely to reach the top no matter what it contains. You also to keep in mind that if a person is high elo, has many mobafire friends and has a nice looking guide, it means: the guide is probably good (at least decent), that the author of the guide has seen many guides before and has experience, and that a nice looking guide makes it really easier for the reader to be entertained/learn/understand. What I'm trying to say is... It's an easy way to get upvotes on your guide... but it also means that the guide will very probably be really good so. I have no problem with our system as it is...[/quote]

[quote=DillButt64]am i the only one that actually tries the build multiple times in a game and reads the guide one or two times before i vote on it? or do other people actually do that[/quote]

[quote=OTGBionicArm]I do. >.> If I ever vote on something without trying it it's because it's a champion I play all the time and know what items work and what doesnt.[/quote]
