Guide Information Should Be Optimal!

[quote=GrandmasterD][quote=Ninja Trigger] [quote=Khazem] [quote=jhoijhoi] No need to keep it "anonymous". Those are my quotes and I stand by them. I also stand by my guides because that's the way I like to play my favourite champions. I'm not dictating the "official" way/mechanics of a swimming style, like the butterfly. I'm not writing a procedure for how to make meth, where an error could kill. I'm simply sharing my own version of how I play x champion. Why do I run Exhaust on Nasus? Because I have had success with it. Why do I run Spectral Wraith on Warwick? Because I have had success with it. They are my ideas (not saying I created these playstyles, someone else very may have run Exhaust Nasus before me etc) and I enjoy sharing them with people. This isn't about trying to fool readers into believing that xx is the best way to play xx champion. It has always been, "This is how I play xx champion, come along for the ride if you like". [/quote] I think the problem is that there is no clear indication in said guides that it's probably not the most optimal way to play those champions. New members will come looking for guides, see those high rated guides, look at the cheat sheet and assume it's the best way to play those champions. There's nothing wrong with making a guide displaying your own unique way of playing a champion. There should just be a clear distinction between those guides and guides that try to be 'optimal', wether it's mentioned somewhere in the title or perhaps even a seperate category. [/quote] Because who would work hard on a unconventional guide on how they play their favorite champion only to have it listed under humor. While if it's listed with all the others it will get down voted [s]for breaking the meta.[/s] not being optimal. [/quote] Fix'd. Since we have only one list with current guides, we don't want support [[poppy]] to be the highest rated [[poppy]] guide.[/quote]

[quote=Ninja Trigger][quote=jhoijhoi] I would love a section for "competitive guides"; half my guides aren't competitive, and I'm happy to be in a "unconventional guides" section! [/quote] Right and it helps people make up their minds when voting [quote=GrandmasterD] I'd support that. [/quote] so we are all agree on the matter lets get this thing set up[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]Ninja, your idea is genius. It literally suits everyone. Though you'd probably still get people who put "sub-optimal" guides in the "competitive" section. zomg. What if the competitive section was dictated by elo? So you could only categorise your guide as competitive if you have ranked games/are of a certain elo (gold, probably)?[/quote]

[quote=Ninja Trigger]wait are you being sarcastic or supportive of my idea?[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]lol, supportive, it really is a good idea and solves a lot of problems (it has been suggested in the past, though). Then my addition was a genuine "epiphany" suggestion, hence the "zomg".[/quote]

[quote=astrolia]IIRC, that got suggested at this same time last year (by bitpik or throatslasher?) and got shot down.[/quote]

[quote=Ninja Trigger]Oh I didn't know what z in front of omg stood for had to google it lol. ♥ you [color=#00ff00] jhoijhoi[/color] I wonder why it got shot down last year? also since there are going to be a lot of changes in season 4 maybe now would be a good time to implement it[/quote]

[quote=GrandmasterD][quote=jhoijhoi] Though you'd probably still get people who put "sub-optimal" guides in the "competitive" section. [/quote] Which forces people to explain and prove that their idea is competitive. OTG won't put his Mage Varus in competitive because then it'd be downvoted. In sub-optimal, I'm sure that it gets a ton of upvotes like now. Also, this idea can be implemented nicely when the S4 patch hits and we need to do something about the old guides anyway.[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi][quote=astrolia] IIRC, that got suggested at this same time last year (by bitpik or throatslasher?) and got shot down. [/quote] I believe it was shot down because of the way he worded it, which was something like, "We need a high elo forum and a high elo guide section", and people argued that there weren't enough "high elo" people on MobaFire to warrant such an addition. [quote=grandmasterd]Also, this idea can be implemented nicely when the S4 patch hits and we need to do something about the old guides anyway.[/quote] Really looking forward to seeing how MobaFire is going to deal with S3 guides. Ninja: haha, until this moment I didn't know what the z "meant" either. I always just assumed it was a verbal addition, like, "Zahmigawd", not that z came from accidentally hitting z instead of the SHIFT key <3[/quote]
