moderator/mod team/whoever created "megathreads" where the mods identify a commonly complained about/discussed idea/problem/champion, start the post by posting all available public data (ex: winrates, pick/ban rates, their current kit with ratios/etc, and more) and then allow the community to discuss ideas for improvement on one thread with multiple ideas in the comment threads.
Interesting. Hadn't thought of that. I'll make sure it gets brought up at the next team meeting.
A primary issue to be raised is that they can often be turned into "dump your thoughts we won't look at here". Especially if it turns out to be hugely popular See mercy megathread on OW forums, it's been remade multiple times because it simply takes up that much space and has that many posts into. They then delete anything that can be redirected to a mega thread (silencing discussion elsewhere). As threads age they die, which is why new ones pop up addressing the same thing
Heavy moderation, severe penalties and rioter interaction would be a must if this were to work
Hmm, this seems to be information that someone who posts in gameplay+ should know before posting anyways.
Otherwise the point of discussions there is greatly diminished by unwitting comments.
