Title as above. My main reason for suggesting this is because people could just publish their guide again without making much changes to make it "Season 4". I'm referring at the TOP GUIDES. See how many votes they have. It is IMPOSSIBLE TO DISPLACE THEM FROM TOP SPOT, EVEN IF THEY HAVE A BUILD WITH LIKE 6 MOBILITY BOOTS IT WOULD STILL BE REALLY HARD TO KNOCK THEM OFF TOP SPOT. This WAS the problem with Mobafire that a lot of people I have discussed this with agreed on. No, I'm not referring to all guides, I mean like most guides are really good and stuff, other than the fact that some are REALLY OUTDATED means that these top guides will just be a hindrance to good guides which should overtake top spot, for example the high elo guides are often unable to displace the guide made by an unranked who has a lot of votes due to the problems of "trollvoting".

I know people who may not agree with me really really think that their guide still deserves top spot due to the effort they have, but COME ON, a guide is not just for POPULARITY, it is about EDUCATING OTHERS or INTRODUCING NEW VIABLE IDEAS. The BEST guides should be constantly updated with relevant information and should ALWAYS look for better ways to educate the viewers about how to play a certain champion.

This already has been discussed a couple of times on other threads if I'm not mistaken. I'd rather see some changes to the voting system. There is some stuff going on the scout forums about that.

I agree with you on the most part, but like Vyn said, the admins are sorting out how to deal with voting :) Hopefully we'll see a change for Season 4.

All my guides are already archived until I make S4 changes except for my Varus guide.

and as far as i know so far, only the masteries and runes will need to be changed.

Yeah, I just archived my guides because of the changes. I want to give accurate information about items etc.

If the people who have the top guides really want to help people, they will archive instead of changing one letter and then publishing again. Otherwise I'll just downvote and -1 scout point them and comment about them just wanting to have the top guide.

I archived mine too, as I won't be able to use Mobafire till November 15th, which is already the start of season 4. I'll unarchive it once I make the necessary changes.

I personally won't archive my only active guide because there won't be much changes for top lane, that is why I am against forcing archives as well.

You can't archive all guides... "MOBAFire, Strategy Guides for League of Legends" and then there are no guides? Kinda strange, no?

But fear not, progress is being made, just hang in there a little bit :)

Mobafire wants to have a wide selection of guides, if you force archive all guides - there'll be no guides for one of the times guides are needed the most(a new season)

Honestly, most people just need to update items/masteries. But jungle and support guides will need a complete overhaul IMO. So... I don't know.

I guess the voting system change or a decay as time goes by should be enough.
