So an image/link to search the user through Elophant. This achieves two things:

1) Embeds Elophant into every post, thus creating more potential traffic (raising awareness) to Elophant.
2) Allows users to immediately check someone's stats through Elophant.

The link would automatically draw from our Summoner Info (summoner name, region etc) to provide the link. Members who haven't verified their accounts obviously won't have an Elophant link.

Cons:
- Elophant would actually have to work.
- This feature is only useful for people who read comments. It would need to be adapted elsewhere to target people who only read guides (maybe in the header of a guide).

If there's going to be a link to elophant, imo it should be the ranked badge so it's using a pre-existing element instead of adding more stuff.

I was thinking that too, but it wouldn't be "intuitive" that the badge could be clicked to another site. At the very least, the badge pictures need to be updated.

I think they do want to integrate elophant into MOBAFire more, but it has needed to be fixed constantly for months due to this and that. I think once the service is more reliable we could look into this.

I definitely think if this does happen there should be a way to disable it if you don't want people checking out your stats all the time (since I can see some people doing that to make fun of people).

I will put it in our idea list and bring it up to them when the service is considered very reliable.
Thanks to GrandMasterD for my sig!
