The League Community Project - See the team and help out!

Sir ArmaMalum··10 votes·1,365 views

#The Objective

In short, we'd like to see more large community projects for the League playerbase. The made by players for the players shenanigans that we can all enjoy and rally around. There are many out even now that are flat out awesome, but run into various problems like visibility, support and resources. We are a group of people willing to put time, effort and talent towards those ends.

#The Reason

We all play League for a few reasons. It’s fun, it’s challenging, maybe a bunch of our friends play, so, why not?

Then we have people like you, who come to the Boards under your own motivations. You read posts, (probably) yell at Riot for something, or even just come to post a meme or fifteen (looking at you Fish!). Needless to say though, just by coming here you go that extra inch to see what’s going on around the game, not necessarily just in it.

And then there are a select few that go that extra 63359 inches. The ones who go out of their way to give back to the league community. Even in the face of everything that we’ve come to know about it, the negativity, the circular logic, the incredibly adversity born from massive diversity that we see here everyday. They’re not superhuman (at least I think), most aren’t professionals. Hell, most of them aren’t paid a cent to do what they do. But they do it anyway. Whether it’s for fun, to help others or a lot/little of both; they’re investing time and talent for our benefit.

As such, I come here representing a small group of dedicated individuals hoping to allow these awesome people to not only help each other but also help themselves. We are the: League Community Project Team. A 100% volunteer player populated community team that looks to network project leaders together as well as help anyone looking to start a project themselves.

######No, this is not affiliated with Riot. We’re independent.

#The Projects

We want to help out as many large community projects as we can, and there are projects out right now that some of you have maybe not heard of that deserve, at the very very least, recognition.

The Impact

Our goal is to not only help currently existing projects but work to spur new initiatives around which we can all rally. If you have an idea (and a good bit of determination) we would love to help, and you can expect projects directly from the LCP team as well!

Many of you can help out with little to no effort as well! Tell us about cool community building projects you’ve come across. Many, many league players find these gems over the years but have little motivation or means to support them. We hope to be that means. So if you’ve come across a great community project similar to the projects we’ve listed above, tell us! Shout it out!

Alternatively, send us an e-mail at '[email protected]' if you feel there's a league project that could use help, or if you'd like to help out yourself!

He liked the idea, but wanted to stay in an observing role rather than an active one. We got permissions to advertise for him on the Boards but he;s got enough on his plate as is. But we did talk to him though!

If you all are still confused, here’s an example. I spent several hours working on a google form to have a coach-student matchmaker. I made it to get as accurate of a match as possible, but I’m a programming newbie at best, so I couldn’t automate the thing. So literally last night at 2am I decide to google league coaching on a whim. Lo and behold, lol-coaching.com comes up and resembles exactly what I was going for, but 1000% better executed.

The LeagueCommunityProject team (just call it LCP, honestly) is here to hopefully avoid these situations by giving awesome projects out currently more visibility and network the awesome groups/individuals behind them to others who may just want to help or join forces. Like, for example, imagine if lol-coaching.com had a joint-tourny with FACTIONS. Or a new hot-shot programmer wanted to jump onto the FEK team to help Tundra Fizz. We hope to be that first step towards getting this shit done!

Sorry if i didn't Get it or i am just too dumb to understand but...

I'll help clarify it up. Basically, we're all looking to help support more community based projects. Sometimes it's hard to get your idea out there or start something up on your own. We've all done some league related project, and been reasonably successful in it.

As a unified group, we'd like to help out those who are seeking advice on how to start or promote a project. It's easier to get your idea out when you have a dedicated group of people listen to you, and potentially support your project.

Additionally we'd like to further some of our own projects and create new ones that benefit the community (i.e free coaching services, etc). Maybe you have a great idea but you don't have any free time to make it happen or iron out the idea. We could help with that.

I've got one idea, since theres always a problem that will be difficult to erase from League, it's the Toxicity of some players it is Contagious and it's true, i've run into alot of problems i have changed, back in Season 4 i didn't even used to talk in chat game, only to make jokes or stuff, but then i found People raging and being Toxic at first i was like "Jeez People..." but then, it started to get into me, FOR NO REASON i began talking almost like them, i get really pissed off with some players and i just can't help it, this isn't me...

it's a game and i always came here to have fun, but when you become like one of those people you just stop having fun, and it's a pain, i have changed i'm not what i used to be, i want to change i have been trying to keep my calm every ranked game with my team, because i know that theres no excuse to be rude agaisn't people, i think it would be a GREAT IDEA to Make some sort of Rehab for Toxic Players because let's be honest, when you say just mute them, it wont help it that they made you get pissed off.

i want to change but, i think i just need support with this, to actually achieve something, **I REALLY want to ENJOY LoL like i did the FIRST TIME i played it ** i want to go back to when i used to have fun item 3070

I 100% feel you there, I actually had my own phase of this back when I first started playing ranked. At first I was fine, but then I noticed I was yelling much more often than usual (I'm a loud person) and with actual malice not just exasperation. I definitely think a service that allows a sort of Toxi-holics Anonymous group would be cool, let's expand on the idea. (Baby steps and all that XD)

  1. You need to find a target audience. So in this case ragers/toxic people who want to get better, how would you identify them and reach them?
  2. You need a way to get them connected with you and/or each other. With the primary focus being their tempers and behaviour. A stream would probably be the quickest and easiest way. Or maybe a post series here on the Boards? (Hi everyone, I'm X and I'm a rager....)
  3. Start it! I'm a prime example of talking about doing something so much I don't actually do it in the end. And honestly the funny thing is that I'm betting a lot of people here just need a word of encouragement to get stuff started, you'd be surprised at how much you can get done with some momentum.

So, how about it? You want to start this thing?

Well, i like the idea of it, but i'm not that much of a leader myself, i'm more of a follower i just don't have the beef for it, or what it takes, but i do like the idea of Toxic-holics Rehab, i would set an example because i am ashamed of myself and my latest conduct in the games

Sir ArmaMalum2 votes

Welp, that's one thing to chalk up for the team. I'll see if I can find anyone to give it a jumpstart.

xMadOwl1 votes

Yeah, thanks, let me know if can help with anything i've been active on the boards lately and i liked this post, i'll make sure to stay at day with this, even if you want to accept a bronze in the game, we can play a few rounds summoner 21
