@Riot, I want to post my gameplay related concepts in gameplay, not in concepts and creations

I would much prefer being able to post gameplay ideas or suggestions to the gameplay board. You recently removed my spellvamp concept advising me to post it in concepts and creations. As much sense as it makes for concepts to go in concepts and creations this is a gameplay concept.

To myself and probably others as well, I read "concepts and creations" as "champion concepts and artistic creations" and gameplay as "gameplay discussion and ideas". Perhaps the boards sections need updated titles so as to avoid this confusion but my point is that I want to post in the board where people discuss gameplay, not arts and crafts.

More evidence of this:

This section of the forum is for creative works so please do not downvote others it is rude, disrespectful, and uncalled for so just do not do it. Concepts and Creations we do not want discourage creativity here and downvoting discourages people give their creative ideas which a lot are super cool, but if you discourage this process then people are less likely to share cool things because people do not like being shat on.

Riot should help out and disable downvoting for Concepts and Creations. Posts that do not belong here will just be reported and Riot will deal with them, but all posts that do belong here do not belong to be downvoted as most work here people put in a lot of care and time into what they created so others should be considerate here.

My concept post is not meant to be anything of creative works so why is it being placed in the same section??

Yea, I only go to concepts/creations to see champion concepts.

I've seen your spellvamp post, and honestly that one can go either way (Concepts and Creations/Gameplay Boards). What I think Riot is doing here is standardizing what post goes where.

Gameplay = discussions about already existing mechanics Concepts and Creations = new ideas and additions

Your post gives a lot of new ideas for spellvamp and is practically a rework of the system, so I see why they would like it to be in the Concepts Board.

I'm not arguing that it doesn't make sense. The reasoning is flawless. It's the system itself that provides the reasoning that I'm questioning really.

I'm moreso asking for leniency in what's considered gameplay or concepts and creations.

Idk I think it's just for organization :p

I think it's just your personal thing that you read the Concept board as Champ concepts. I personally think it's a board for any new addition!

P.S. good SV post :D

Eh, maybe it is just me. But nothing wrong with voicing my opinion right? Kinda hoping to see if anyone else sees it the same way. Maybe I just don't spend enough time on the concepts board and too much on gameplay.

P.S. Haha thanks.

Bleh, check the OP again now man. Someone just posted that in Concepts and Creations and it kinda pisses me off. I agree with the post itself entirely but the fact that my gameplay concept is being coupled with the "creative works" section is really frustrating. I feel like it would have caught alot more attention if it wasn't in the board where people look for cool community skin creations.

Tempted to repost it in gameplay under the pretense of a gameplay discussion as opposed to a concept creation.

Edit: Well now i just deleted it. It had half the views of this post and no comments. And I'm pretty sure all the views came from people hitting the link in the OP. I'm definitely reposting in gameplay.
