We need a "Save as Draft" option on the Boards

Have you ever been working on something to post on the Boards, when you need to stop for some reason?

What do you do? Your work is not finished yet. It's not ready for the world. You don't want to share something that is incomplete. It is bound to be ignored or ridiculed.

Or maybe you just want to put it down and come back to it later, see it with fresh eyes. That is actually a very common writing practice. You often see mistakes or things you overlooked when you come back to something.

I actually just had this experience. I was working on something on a different computer, and I had to leave. I had to decide to either post it, or lose all of the work I had done. I decided to post it, but not until after I had to go to the beginning of the post and explain that it is incomplete work. Kinda made me feel silly.

There are many other benefits to this as well.

These drafts can be used for personal notes and projects, simply a place for someone to put down their League-related thoughts that they may eventually decide to share with the rest of the community.

They could also be used as templates. If you have a specific format that you have found is most effective when trying to explain a new champion concept or a champion rework, you can save one in your drafts. These can also be posted on the Boards for others to copy and save as their own draft template.

Sure, the same thing could be copied and saved to a NotePad or WordDoc, but it would be nice to simply have it tied to your profile that could be accessed from any computer you are able to sign in from.

Omg the amount of time i wrote a huge post to have something happen or be in the wrong board...just to lose it, so annoying. Mostly because I end up writing nothing at all.
