Looking for experienced and/or high level players for a project.

If you have been playing LOL for longer then 2 seasons then you'd know that the game has gone through a lot of changes, some good, some ok, some bad. And i'm sure there are some of you out there who read every patch notes with both anxiety and excitement at what things may be fixed, what things might be broken, and what direction the meta might be headed towards. We are looking for you. We are starting a new strictly community based project that's similar to the current "patch breakdown" that riot is currently using to "discuss" the new changes, the problem that I've heard echoed from most people is that the discussion is based on the upper 5-20% of players (basically pro's and the people who watch them) with the rest of us not being able to really share contrasting views in a positive debate based arena. What we are looking for right now in terms of preferences in summoners:

Can speak fluent English well enough to keep up in a detailed discussion Has skype Has been playing league since at least season 3 Plays at least 5-10 games a week (fairly obvious right?) Has a general knowledge of every champions abilities (sounds baffling but its just so the conversation is consistant) is able to debate in a mature manner (no name calling, no shouting over, etc.) and more specifically we are looking for as many summoners who are gold or higher (if you aren't gold but feel like you'd be able to contribute feel free to get involved but we'd like at least one high level player for each video)

if you are interested just comment below and we will start posting ways to contact if you are serious.

Also if you are any good at editing videos any help would be appreciated since watching a skype call can get fairly boring very quick and having visual aids would help a lot.

I like the idea. What avenue do you plan on presenting the content? It seems sort of like an open forum twitch channel.

I thought of that but then the problem with twitch is that its more of a one time deal whereas I was thinking more along the lines of youtube to allow it to be replayed and shared and get more people involved with the discussion, even though it would only be 4-5 people at a time talking in the footage I would want the community involved and pointing out things that maybe we missed or correcting us when we are wrong. then if we notice a person or group that is actively involved and/or points out a major point relating to the discussion then we'd invite them to be on an episode

a lot of twitch streams end up on youtube as permanent videos (hearthstone and league of legends are good examples). It should be possible to download your recent streams as an mp4 and then post them to youtube. I'm not sure exactly how - but a lot of streamers have their own youtube channels and upload their streams (eg trick2g).

The advantage of doing a twitch stream and then later uploading to youtube is that you can read twitch comments while you are doing the live discussion and do a live feedback with the stream. It gets people to come to the channel at a specific time (8:00 pacific time every tuesday for example) and get involved that way. If they miss the stream they can go to the youtube channel and pick up what they missed, or to your recent videos on your twitch channel (all streams are stored in your history). It also opens up twitter. You can "tweet" (hate that lingo) when you will be doing the live stream for a patch update and get follows that way.

Also If you have an hour long stream you can breakdown the video into segments when you upload to youtube (5.22 turret changes, 5.22 ADC changes etc.) and then get guided discussions there.

I sincerely believe this is the best option. I'll be a bit harsh but it's intended as constructive: If you JUST do a youtube channel: you are essentialy just posting videos of low tier players analyzing the game. High tier players won't listen to the comments. Low tier players would rather to listen to Dyrus be salty about the patch notes. You aren't cornering a market. I think a Live forum is your best bet!

that is a really good point in all actuality. that will most likely have to be the option to go with for now then. and don't worry i appreciate any criticism that would help this manifest into something that can have some quality.

Lastly, I should say that this is just in the concept stages of things, like pbe except before that. its an idea me and a friend had to put together and I want to see if its possible. as things progress more details will come to light so this thread may get a bunch of edits in it as we decide what exactly we want this to be. so as long as you fit the first 4 requirements please feel free to comment

the way it is in my mind is obviously different from what the finished product would be but the discussion would mostly follow every patch update if not every week. we'd talk about how the last patch is affecting the game currently during our personal games and examine which parts of the patch may have worked, need a bit more tweeking, or just completely broke something. then we'd quickly skim over what things in the upcoming patch stood out for us and our feeling about granted getting 4-5 people's voices to cover all that in what I want to be a quick 10 min video will be hard but like I said until we actually execute and carry it out we wont really know what to expect
