Personally at least, with the introduction of hero threads I no longer had the motivation to write any guides. I thought it would be cool if TL had a set of guides for each hero but the hero threads kinda killed it. | ||

I thought it would be cool if TL had a set of guides for each hero but the hero threads kinda killed it. What about labeling the guides with [Guide] (which as been done before) and making a guide index in the strategy forum, or do you think that wouldn't work? Strategy could be split as well by making a subforum (look at main TL for example), but I don't think that would work. | ||

Hero guides are supposed to be posted in the OP, and if you write a good guide for it, you can probably justify taking over the OP from whoever has it (or just ask for it). Specific questions are usually pretty good about being answered... not sure what forum you're reading. | ||

Specific questions are usually pretty good about being answered... not sure what forum you're reading. I understand how it works, I have 4 or 5 hero threads. Have you noticed that any recent hero guides on heroes that aren't newly released or had big patch changes have gotten maybe 10 posts of comments or criticism? Let's say you post a guide to [Hero] Sniper, and then nobody checks the sniper thread because there's no reason to. Thread gets pushed out of front page very quickly, and this happens to a lot of bumps that deserve their own thread but get shoehorned into "post in sqsa" or "post in hero thread." The hero thread will gather far fewer views and thus far less discussion, and it makes the strategy subforum very stagnant imo. | ||

I thought it would be cool if TL had a set of guides for each hero but the hero threads kinda killed it. Yeah this is something we noted a while ago. Ultimately people don't necessarily come here for guides (and there's a lot of good guides out there on other sites atm) so working on those was deprioritized until we had someone dedicated to work on those. Instead we wanted to focus on improving what we already do pretty well (calendar related stuff mostly). Some of that is near completion and with some new blood working on them we might actually be able to get something launched for a change! Still... if you're volunteering to help make strategy better you know who to talk to  On November 26 2014 06:46 Dubzex wrote: Have you tried asking reddit for help? They seem to have a good grasp on these sorts of problems and always find the right solution. It's less about the direction we're going than finding people to make it happen. As I mentioned this is quite a recent thing for me(/us i guess?) since Heyoka only recently left us. Progress is being made though! | ||

I have visited TL itself maybe twice since LD was launched. Please never merge them again. | ||

- Death of the Team Liquid Dota2 pro team - Death of Liquid Dota site feature news articles/coverage/analysis - (more recently) got a Heroes of the Storm key Also I'm too antisocial to join the GD and irc clique, or even the Liquid inhouse league group. Reddit, however, is perfect for mindless browsing. The flip side is, even if their site is more active, the discussion is so shallow I don't bother posting. If LD had a renaissance of content I'd be positively motivated to participate. In any case, 2 of those 3 are perfectly fixable... | ||

 Believe me when I say Naz wants a team at Ti5. Part of that is getting a team that can get to Ti5 in the first place :D | ||
