[Question] Elo Border

[quote=FireLord][quote=sirell]But a fair amount of people are just here for the guides and don't even bother making an account. If they see a high elo say such-and-such, they'll think it's true, no matter how bullshit it actually is.[/quote] that's exactly my point! what would be real cool would be to have mofire tournaments and then the winning teams, those that prove to be good, would get the cool borders.[/quote]

[quote=sirell]But in this respect, it would technically mean that proving to be good would just to be getting Gold+ Elo. Your idea doesn't actually add anything further.[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]MobaFire will have more tournaments in the future, of course, but people from all over join them. You won't just have MobaFire people playing, but semi-professional teams that will join MobaFire the day of the Tournament, play, and then never come back, even if they win. Also, that's pretty pathetic, admitting that you'd rather let a really good player play on your account to get gold, than earn it yourself. Unlike that idea, everyone here who is gold+ have played in the games that resulted in a high elo. Now that you've said this, even if you do manage to hit gold, everyone would wonder if your gold border was there because you earned it, or if you stole it.[/quote]

[/quote] I wouldn't disagree with that, but I think that's y we (as the mobafire community) should make sure that good guides are emphasized by the community. A diamond guide that's got a crap rating is still gonna be read by next to no one.[/quote]

[quote=Valkenhyn][quote=PsiGuard] I dunno bro that sounds pretty elitist. ;) [/quote] I got a great idea- instead lets give everyone who played the little plastic sports trophies, no losers, everyone wins yay :P[/quote]

[/quote] who cares as long as i have the gold border??? wasnt it you who said that the borders dont mean you know how to play?[/quote]

[quote=FireLord][quote=PsiGuard]I dunno bro that sounds pretty elitist. ;)[/quote] why? it would make sense i think. in lol you get the border for playing rankeds, in mobafire you get the border for playing in mobafire tournaments. another idea would be to give borders based on how many games played total, whether its normals or rankeds games.[/quote]

[/quote] Working from the idea that apparently borders are status symbols which, also apparently, represents how much their opinions matter concerning guides and the like...how is the number of games played a better indicator of skill than one's elo?[/quote]
