I think "Gameplay" should be split into "Gameplay Feedback" and "Gameplay Tactics"

I initially came here thinking that Gameplay would be more about people exchanging their builds and tactics as well as having discussions about it, instead it's mostly people directing concerns ( or in some cases flat out whining ) at Riot. I still found some really cool tactics post but they were buried in all of the posts about gameplay balance, because aforementioned posts get upvoted much more.

I feel like creating a forum specifically directed towards people who want to share builds and tactics or ask the community gameplay-related questions and another one specifically created for people saying "XY is bad, please fix it" would make the forums overall much more streamlined. It would also give tactics posts a much higher chance to get upvoted and to the front page, so we all can discover new builds and ways of playing the game.

I would love to make a post about AP Malphite mid/support for example, not only to show off but also to see what people think about it and how I could improve it, but in the end I'm pretty sure that would be of no use because I think no one would actually comment on it.

I think this is a pretty great idea. Most users here use build sites to generate what to use on champions all the time, and something like builds + tactics would be pretty cool. Feedback would be great as well since you could see which is the most likely thing players will be vocalizing about after a new patch.

Pretty good idea. There is a huge difference between "this is a sion build/strategy" and "I am going to rant about how broken draven is for 3 paragraphs". I don't see how they belong on the same board.

but then the tactics one would virtually be empty lol

Not it wouldn't. I see guides on how to play champions/asking how to do something pretty often on the boards, but they get completely swamped by gameplay discussion/feedback.

Also, if you mostly just check Hot, you'll most likely see none of the gameplay tip posts. You have to stalk Recent or New for that.

I remember reading this great Quinn guide after she was reworked but it was only because I saw it when it was new. It was quickly taken off the front page.

When these gameplay tips posts happen, you have to be fast to catch them.

Hmm, interesting idea.

I agree it would be nice to separate the discussions surrounding feedback on gameplay/balance of the game vs actual strategy, item builds and in-depth gameplay ideas.

this used to be called gameplay and balance not just game play but for some reason riot changed it
