I'm fairly certain mobafire went to C9 asking them to write guides, not the other way around.


I don't know if you're trying to troll me by saying this or just being stupid. Of course this isn't literally how it went down and I'm not claiming it is. It's just a metaphor for refusing to cooperate like this in general, regardless how the deal went down.

Wait, people actually pay attention to those? I take one look and move on to find some more opinion on the subject.

At least now I know I'm not the only one who was extremely dissatisfied with the "pro guest" guides.

I'm convinced that Vynertje is in dire need of a vagina transplant. The sand has been permanently infused with their current one.


His post is plagued with straw man, baseless assumptions and other dimwitted argument strategies that are pretty juvenile. But hey, what can you expect given the quality of LoL player he is, fufufu.



tl;dr- Toshabi is fighting fire with fire.

This is somewhat more upbeat, but I still can't tell if it's any better than yours.

Also, something just bothered me. We aren't taking this seriously enough. People go to guides for a reason, and pasting a "pro guest" tag only encourages the sheep.

I find most MOBAfail guides to be long-winded. That's why I don't take them seriously/read them. (That and a large majority of them are pretty far out there).


Seriously though; I'd be more inclined to read an article written by an animator like Tom Bancroft than I would bother reading an article from Joe Schmoe.

And although you may associate someone well known with higher knowledge, here it is being questioned.
If I were to blatantly praise and glorify someone simply for their status, it's worse than disregarding and antagonizing them for the same thing.
The whole Pro Guest thing only encourages not paying attention to the material and voting on it for the sake of being for - or against - the celebrity.
We may as well address rank tags, but I don't think we should ever remove this type of knowledge about the author entirely.
