Before we all go off creating champion discussion threads I think it's a good idea to agree upon a general format for the threads to follow.

For example, I don't think we need to post the background and skill / stat information if we can just post a link to the lol.com page for that champion - which should also reflect any patch changes without requiring the OP to update their thread.

Giving all of the champion thread OPs a single format will really help improve the ease of searching for information about a specific champion.

Yeah this is exactly what we shouldnt have. Just post in my thread of all encompassing ideas of rules/regulations. Having everyone pop open a new thread because they dont feel like categorizing what they want to say will lead to so much unnecessary threads.

I recommend that any mastery build includes a link to a filled out mastery builder.

oh and you'll want a skill leveling order and reasoning behind it,

Honestly as an aside, the OP shouldnt include a wall of text, it should be quick links to important posts in the thread. If the OP wants to include information it should be on their 2nd post not the OP

I would prefer it if the OP doesn't include any specific guide. That makes it seem like it is the most relevant guide on that champ, which clearly is either not true or will change over time (within a few weeks).

Imo the OP should only include links and hard facts like stats, skill descriptions, known bugs, animation properties, story, skins...
The creators of existing threads could just copy and paste to a new post.

Maybe someone can even design a "template" for the OP layout so all champ threads look similar and thus are easy to navigate.

Should i go ahead and mass create a bunch of generic threads for champs? Aukai has already inadvertantly created a kayle thread and, unfortunately, doesnt know how to maintain it, resulting in a bit of confusion and whatnot. I feel like if i spam a bunch of these things, we can avert further disaster

If you create them you will be responsible for maintaining them as relevant data for each champ changes if you're fine with that then go ahead and do it. If not I'll make them at some point later tonight / tomorrow morning when I have time to do them the proper justice

ze, i didnt think of that.

Actually, what i'll do is create a new account (TLLeagueOfLegends), make the threads, and share the pass with ppl who want to help update

Totally true, and I agree with the first posts and stuff being mostly about linking to other important posts/guides within the thread, links to basic information etc.

Otherwise it's more like a thread about a guide, which a thread about a champ really shouldn't be.

honestly, i dont really have a problem as long as the op's keep things updated and have links to alternative guides at the top with descriptions. Every1 is free to post their guides in the respective champ's thread and has a right to have their guide linked (as long as its not stupid troll)

ze, this is barbsq btw

edit: FML have to wait 3 days before creating topics, oh well. Still think its a good idea tho, makes it less of a hassle to update shit, but if ppl cant wait 3 days, w/e

Champion threads should be set in a format so first post has champ info, second post contains peer-reviewed guides for the champion. So if I submit a guide for Garen in the Garen thread, and people approve of it then it gets added to the second post (in spoilers so it doesnt become a massive wall of text).

This way players new to a champ will have a bunch of different guides (eventually) for each champ for different play styles.
