Which champion would you like to see next?
I agree with the logic behind linking the top rated Annie guides. We shouldn't filter out the **** to make MOBAFire look good. If MOBAFire's ****, it's ****.
jhoijhoi has the right idea linking the top rated guides. It's not her fault they all seem to suck balls.

This would be fine, if it would be continuously updated. However, since it seems to be a news thing that happends every once in a time period, it will likely not be updated at all times (since those guides can get outdated n stuff) :P
I myself would just put a link to the top guide list instead for the individual guides themselves, or just remove the guide section of the "more info" entirely (since it is literally only a few tabs away from the guide list :P)

I think either linking top guides or scouts deciding on 1-2 guides to feature is fine, up to you guys. I'm going ahead and putting it in the news, but will hold off on the facebook post till later in case you want to change the featured guides.
You could also do a mix, 1 scouted guide and 1 top rated guide. I do think cutting down on the guides presented would be better if we hope to put this in the champ pages eventually. Also, I would hope to just put the lore in its own tab if we did this so you don't have to feel obligated to include the lore if you don't want to.

Thanks to GrandMasterD for my sig!
I think that it's sort of good to display a few guides so people can glance at it and see the general gist of possible items/runes. The guide lists would only be in the articles, and not on the champion pages, I think - they are mainly here to give publicity to those guide authors. In the future, could cut down on the featured guides to two (but there wasn't a scouted Annie guide - maybe when we get a champion and start writing about it, we endeavor to scout a guide so that it is featured in the article?). Lastly, I don't see a problem with including the lore. It's sort of meant to be a "wiki" page with everything about the champion.
Which brings up a suggestion made to me last night. We could spend some time researching the champion and have a short paragraph of how the champion has changed over time. For instance, Annie was a common pick for mid lane, was then replaced with ADC mid, then resurfaced when AoE comps went into style, then disappeared for a while, then was played as support with the support changes.
Obviously better written than that, and with examples of popular/well-known games to back it all up.
Thoughts?

I think having the top few Annie guides there is just fine. Even if the builds are a little unconventional, there's still reasons why they got voted up above the others. The mini-guide seems fine to me as it is, but this forum isn't exactly the first place I'd look if I wanted an Annie guide
And ADC Annie mid? Where was I when that was a thing. That had to be an early S2 strat or something, I can't remember that ever happening

Daniel: I meant that mid casters were replaced with mid ADCs (like Ashe, Caitlyn etc), not that Annie was played AD :P
Edison: Guide authors can contact me if they want their previews updated. I really can't keep tabs on every guide I eventually link ^^ But good on him! :)

Edit: As per the champion to work with, it'd be the one who wins the poll in this thread (looks like Zyra at the moment - could change over time, of course). If you're hosting the next article, you'd compile information about Zyra and then when ready to publish, post a thread like this in the News forum with a new poll for the next champion. Does that make sense?
