Champion sub-boards: Yae or nay?

Deep Terror Nami·Aug 28, 2017·15 votes·1,774 views

I'd like to hear from the community if they would be interested in visiting and participating in a board for a specific champion. This is not an announcement that it will or will not happen, but gathering information on what kind of boards you're interested in.

These hypothetical boards would not be on the sidebar or the Create a Discussion dropdown list or show up on the front page, as there are simply too many! Instead imagine a single thread on the sidebar which is done in HTML and has a grid with all the champions on it. You simply click your champion icon to visit their own private board. This would be a place to discuss anything about that champion, and only about that champion; things like their lore and gameplay discussions from mains and tips for newbies.

Simply vote in this poll whether it seems appealing to you or not, even if it's just a single champion you're interested in. Again, this is not a promise to deliver content of this type, but it will help me in my projects to improve the boards for you guys.

Feel like that might be a bit hard to manage with how many champs there are, maybe having a support, top, mid, adc, jungle board would be easier? I dunno

I feel like it'd be impossible to truly manage,

How so?

By having all of those different forums, you'd need many, many more people to manage it. Though, I could see the links going to the subreddits!

All reports come to the mod team, we don't have to browse the boards looking for stuff as long as people are reporting.

Champs no, as much as I'd like to cultivate an army of servants under Morgana's name here.

Should just do role categories.

Yes!

A breakdown would by nice, but this seems like too many. I'm not going to take the time to look at a ton of different boards for info on the champions I like. If you want champion-specific boards, a better option would be to group the Champions by either type (Marksman, etc.) or faction in the lore (Demacia, Noxus, etc.).

that's way too much clutter

Deep Terror NamiAug 29, 20173 votes

If they don't show up anywhere except when you go into that board, where's the clutter?

Mens Hair ClubAug 29, 20171 votes

are they not going to appear on the front page? plus our boards are already a fairly small community; do we really need to split it up like that?

I see SOME good in that people who like champions can connect to one another easier, and maybe set up champion guides if mods are willing to sticky them, but i also see the general nature of the boards (bitchy) spilling into those subforums just to complain and shit them up; i see it especially being true for champs that are very disliked by the boards population

gameplay is at least one giant cesspool (not like i haven't contributed to that problem, ofc) but having a bunch of little cesspools would be too much

Deep Terror NamiAug 29, 20171 votes

They could be on the front page or they could not. I want to see how people like the extreme ends of what we can do.

I'm thinking boards for each lane is more appropriate, but even with just that finding the best guide that will stay relevant is a daunting task that's dissuaded me from moving forward so far :/

i'd love to have a place where i can talk to my fellow talon mains

You mean like /r/mains? Sounds cool.

Deep Terror NamiAug 29, 20171 votes

Feedback suggests we shouldn't have a Shen board, though.

MelledoneusAug 29, 20171 votes

Feedback can meet the front end of my boot.

In all seriousness, it's a good idea, but I agree that Shen players have grown too thin to warrant a whole section.

Hmm I would like an Azir and Sorakabae board. This way I can compile all my knowledge about Azir to help out Shuriman acolytes and to hone my own builds and strats.
