Outdated Guides

Do you think guides that haven't been updated this year should be archived?

A friend asked me if I had helped this random person write their guide (as I'm credited at the end). I checked the guide and said no.

He then said, "Good, because it's outdated and stupid."

Ignoring his bluntness, he does have a point. I'm not sure why challenger, pro guest or even "normal" guides that haven't been updated this year are still on the boards at all.

I understand that the boards via champion filter are at least ordered from Season 4 Guides > Season 4 Builds > etc, so that's a great start. But the footer link guides don't seem to have any order beyond score, which means outdated guides are there. And of course, pro/guest guides, despite not being updated for 5 months, are still featured.

No. There are plenty of guides that haven't been updated with some relevant knowledge still in them.

"Some" being the operative word in that sentence.

Some champions don't even have half-decent guides up that have been updated.

I do think it should apply to featured guide writers because they are always stuck to the top.

I will look into the older featured guides and the footer link rankings.
Thanks to GrandMasterD for my sig!
