Unfair Downvote

[quote=Pozsich]Is it possible to appeal to have a down vote removed? My guide still has relatively few votes, but the first down vote the guy says it's totally unviable and he didn't read my build, even though I talked about everything he down voted me for. Why should I suffer for his not reading something I put hours of work into?[/quote]

Many guides I've had have been downvoted because of no apparent reason, with many being revenge downvotes, and some, as my Riven guide has shown, is because people don't understand the meta properly (E.G. saying melee should go pure AD, and that junglers always need Wriggle's). Talking about stuff people downvote you for doesn't mean you're immune to downvotes, unfortunately. If you build Tiamat on Soraka and explain that Tiamat is the best item for Soraka, which I guess you could do because of the regeneration, that doesn't mean people aren't allowed to downvote for that reason. I've not seen your guide (though I might check it out later), so I'm not saying you are trying to justify retarded items - just using it as an example.[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]As Xen said, downvotes are downvotes - they are simply the opinion of the reader. Just rest easy knowing the reader was very silly with their opinion, especially if your guide explained your choices in full detail. In the end, if you know your guide is good, that's all the matters ^^[/quote]

[quote=Sacull_Kinslayer]Trolls are trolls. And shall always be. I saw one troll actually talk about how great someone guide was and still downvote them. And it was obviously on purpose.[/quote]

[quote=Pozsich]Sigh. I see. Thank you for the responses everyone. It is unfortunate people like that are out there though :\[/quote]

[quote=Fox Rage]It sucks, we all agree, but you gotta live with it, sadly[/quote]

[quote=MuffinStuff]Yeah it really does suck, that is why I always fully read a guide and usually try it out before I vote, sorry you got down voted for a sucky reason :([/quote]

[quote=Phoenix0000ff]At least your downvoter gave a reason as to why he didn't like it. Phantom Dancer first is an ok item for split pushing and afk farming but I think it's the general impression of the LoL community that if you don't get damage you are deceiving your team. In a team fight as a carry you may only get 3 attacks in and when they come you got to make sure they are worth it. I have gotten downvotes on my build in a since similar to "you suck" -> downvote. But I have realized even bad publicity can be good publicity if your guide is truly special. I suppose I could at least be thankful that the top elo of brainafk downvoted me so it's easy to add refutation.[/quote]

[quote=Zoki]There should be comment to vote option for unlimited number of votes, not just 20. Most people who down vote usually don't comment because either they hate you or want to lower your % so their build would look better. There are really few downvotes per build which have some logical explanation why they downvoted.[/quote]

I've made changes to my guide to better entrance the fickle minded player.[/quote]
