Can we have a separate board for advice and guides?

Gameplay is not remotely conducive to helping players improve and learn about the game.

Reddit has a board called "summoner school" where people can go and ask for help learning or understanding basically any LOL related topic and reliably get answers from high elo players who know what they're saying.

I want that and then I want it taken further by having various guides stickied. Maybe conglomerate threads where you merge similar topics into one megapost and then pin it to the top (e.g a thread that covers the basics of CSing and then goes into detail about more advanced topics like wave manipulation and freezing). And then players can come in and ask about matchups and other stuff they want to ask.

I always disliked how little Boards seems to have when it comes to educating you about the game it represents. Itd also be a good way to return high elo players to the community without them needing to interact with the Gameplay boards (most of my high rank friends absolutely hate the place).

Also it should go without saying that people should have some sort of verification process on posting guides and giving advice. No offense, but I would not strongly consider advice from somebody below at least Plat 4.

I want advice and guides from accomplished players ideally in Masters or Challenger.

Maybe not random players but people that applied for it. Pretty much like the Heralds, Moderators, Specialists, etc. With an active account and a Rank above Plat 1.

You want advice from a place that in all honesty told me that rushing Stormrazor (before Triforce or Sheen) on Gangplank would be BETTER than a Triforce rush.

Yeah no not really

If you want advice on a specific champion just go to the mains subreddit of that champion and ask there

If you want general advice go watch educational streamers / youtubers like FoggedFTW (for top knowledge for example) or the reddit board you were talking about.

This isn't really the right place to ask for advice
