Champion Appreciation Section?

This may already exist somewhere in the depths of these forums, but I'm lazy and don't feel like looking. I think I speak for the majority of LoL players when I say we all have a favorite champion, and on occasion like to show a little love. Teemo players have their teemo hats, Urgot and Sion players have their forum posts begging for some spotlight, etc. People like showing a little "This is my champ, there are many like it, but this is mine" style flair now and then. Setting up a subsection for each champ is probably far more intensive than it's worth, but I thought I might ask for a clear place for Lulu players to talk about how purpley and adorable Lulu is, or for Teemo players to plot their next no doubt diabolical gameplay as the little terrorist that could. For my part, I don't meet a lot of players who play Talon on a regular basis, and a spot where I could see other players who are as passionate about the champ as me would be a really cool addition to the forums. It also will likely help connect more players, and foster community growth and the creation of frienships. I see no downside, but then again I am not a game designer or a forum moderator, so it may not be a feasible option. Just tossing it out as an idea and hoping for a reply from on high.

If you've read all this, thanks, you're a champ, but TL;DR, I'd like a spot on the forums where people can go to show their love for a particular champ

Thoughts? Is this a good idea? Am I missing something? Would anyone else like to see this?

Maybe it'll be good when all of GD decided to migrate over to this platform. But for now, we don't have nearly enough users to support that, unless the sole urgot main is interested in having a tea party for one.

Are you suggesting a new category on the forums? Perhaps 'compliments'? I know Runescape forums had 'rants' and 'compliments', and they worked out pretty well.

The thing is, if you make categories too precise, they lose their value (it becomes extremely stagnant). If you want to make a post about how much you love Poppy, the Champions & Gameplay section is there for that. Additionally, it helps strike conversation, because if I see a topic about Swain lovers, and I'm trying to pick up swain, but always ends up getting crushed level 7-11, I'll simply head there and asking for help.
