Am I the only one that is getting tired of...

[quote=Vynertje]I'm at it again ^^ So yeah, just as the title says, I personally am getting tired of 3 special guests (Hoodstomp, Yoda and Gleebglarbu) somewhat mass-producing guides for pretty much all popular champions for their role. Personally I've had plans onto making a couple of guides for champions I like, but every single time I start on one, there always is a special guest having finished one for that one champion, which obviously is quite demotivating. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this :)[/quote]

[quote=Meiyjhe]The guides are fine, why should we oppose them? Just finish your guides anyway, the special guest guides should not have too much influence on your guide.[/quote]

[quote=Pheyniex]there is nothing to avoid it, imo. But I think if you can do better, you should still write a guide. you can also completely ignore what is coming out while you are writing one. Btw, you should have an [[Irelia]] guide, shouldn't you?[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]LOL! I literally JUST made a thread in the vet forums about this. +rep. [spoiler=Edit: this was what I said in my thread:][quote=jhoijhoi] Having special guests of high elo writing guides for MobaFire is great. Especially now there's an actual standard in place, wherein the guide is coded nicely and written well. I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but if a special guest author writes a guide for every champion, and their guide is showcased above "non-special guests"... sooner or later, people aren't going to want to write guides, or keep their guides updated. It'd be a situation similar to other guide sites, where people read the high elo/special guest guides over whatever guides have a higher rating. Which is fair, pros do know more, and that should be reflected in their guides. I don't know if this is a problem or not. It's just something I noticed. In my opinion, showcasing high elo/special guest above "non-high elo" authors means that higher elo authors are more valued. Is that the truth? What do you guys think? Look at the below screen shot. If I was a new MobaFire user, I'm going to click on the first link I see. Which is Special Guest. Then, if I didn't like that guide, or wanted to read more, I'd have a look at the "Scouted" guide, whatever that means. Ah, cool, not bad. What else can I read? Oh, look! "High Elo", that must be great :D Well, I've read three guides now, I think I'm good for Ez... ... completely missing the two 91% Ez guides, voted as the best on MobaFire by the MobaFire community.

[/quote][/spoiler][/quote]

[quote=emoriam]It's maybe annoying that they are shown as suggestions in every list even if they got a worse rating than many other guides but don't be demotivated because of this if you know you can make a good guide for the champion. I think it would get the deserved attention especially because you're Platinum. ~[/quote]

[quote=Vynertje]Its not about me making or not making my guide, I was mainly wondering if people are thinking just like me. The problem I have is mainly the way the guides are made, just some basic information popped into a template without any real effort. The quality of the guide (and the information given) is overall okay, but not really in a way that it would tell something new to a gold+ player, which, in my opinion, is what these pro's should. And yes, I had an [[irelia]] guide but I archived it because I wasn't playing her as much. And jhoi, your post is exactly my point. People will stop wanting to write new guides because their guides get swarmed by cheaply-made pro (and paid) guides.[/quote]

[quote=emoriam]Yeah, I wrote a comment under Yoda's [[Lee Sin]] guide and didn't get attention. I asked him for editing his cheat sheet and thinking about 21/9/0 Masteries but til now nothing happened. He has just updated the guide after Pacth 3.10 but it seems that he does not pay attention on the comment section :|[/quote]

[quote=Vynertje]They don't even edit, they just change one word and then it shows up as updated.[/quote]

[quote=Khazem]wtf? they're good guides by good players, why would you not want that threads like this....[/quote]

[quote=Embracing]They could be BETTER but why in the world would you NOT want this?? Some champions have horrible guides already and these help to accommodate for a few[/quote]
