I need some clarities about the Gameplay+ rules

Stars Shaper·Aug 23, 2018·2 votes·1,999 views

I recently submitted a thread ( https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/f/ELUpwER8/d/upXNEkFv ) to the Gameplay+ sub board because after reading the guidelines I thought this would have been both in line with them and interesting but it got rejected.

Since the notification I got isn't relaly explaining how this was not in line with the Gameplay+ guidelines I wanted to ask mods, or whoever is working on that sub board, some deeper explanation because I don't want to post wrong things.

Hi, I’d be happy to provide some more clarification:

Generally speaking, Gameplay+ is for in-depth analyses which are based in statistics, evidence, or other forms of argument. It isn’t the place for brainstorming or hyperbole, especially when such changes aren’t based in any evidence and no argument is made for them. While it’s perfectly acceptable on Gameplay+ to identify a problem without having a solution for it, you have identified solutions without having any sort of evidence to support that a problem exists.

Your thread would be perfectly fine on the original Gameplay boards. The Gameplay+ board is designed for serious discussion based heavily in evidence and analysis - not brainstorming and “solution without a problem”. Let me know if it’s still fuzzy and I can answer any other questions you have.

Ok, so the Gameplay+ is strictly for state of the game and not any kind of suggestion which isn't accompanied by balance analysis if I got it right.

No, it can be for suggestions. The difference is not what you are posting - it is the burden of posting it. Posts on Gameplay+ must be accompanied by some level of statistical (or other) analysis to ensure that good discussion can happen.

Suggestions are fine. Suggestions without analyzing and identifying a problem are not, as they are not useful suggestions.

Yes that's what I meant.

Since mine was simple brian storming, Gameplay+ is not the place for it.

I didn’t want to call your post simple, but that is a word that fits it, yes. The depth and breadth of analysis is what would make it unsuitable for Gameplay+.
