🌟 September CCOS Results 🌟

Results are IN, baby!

Welcome, Citizens!

As always, this is the CCOS Results thread: your one-stop source for all the exciting, thrilling, heart-pounding...um...numbers and judging you can possibly imagine? Sorry, that sentence sort of got away from me there.

Let me begin, as always, by congratulations everyone who participated! We couldn't do it without you, and I mean that both literally and figuratively. Let me also extend a special thanks to our judges Echoing, Skyelarke, Arakadia, Raxistaicho, and (I guess) me, The Djinn. Without them I'd be drowning in a sea of unjudged concepts.

A Special Note for this Month

I wanted to remind everyone of two things. First, we're testing a new rubric this month, and I'd love your feedback on it, both from our judges and from our competitors. Secondly, remember that the goal of this contest is to get critique, learn, and improve: don't let a low score get you down. Also remember that the new rubric is a little less forgiving than the previous one: high scores should be much harder to get, and a 30/60 should be considered to be about an average concept.

The scores were calculated by taking the numbers from every judge and averaging them together to give each concept a total score out of 60 points. The links to the judge's sheets (including details of the specific categories and judge comments) can be found at the bottom of this post)

And Now...

The moment you've all been waiting for! Here are our top five entries for September 2017!


JORAH, THE ARC OF SOLUS by CANDURILL [32/60]

TIRVA, THE 50 BLADES' REQUIEM by SPOOKS ARE LOOSE [32.5/60]

GRACE, THE HAUNTED MALIGNER by K1BO [35.6/60]

NINA, THE ELDRITCH VESSEL by IM A MORON [36.5/60]

KANAE, THE MAIDEN OF THE GODDLESS SHRINE by VILLAINOUS [41.7/60]


Once again, a big round of applause for all our contestants and judges! Feel free to ask questions in the comments below, give us your feedback on the scoring system, the contest, or things you'd like to see us do for future contests, and we'll see you all next month for the October CCOS!

    Who is down-voting comments O.o

    What is with people caring about downvotes? Do votes affect your lifespan? Is Riot gonna shut down your vital organs if you get a certain score?

    I was just wondering why the first 5 comments or so (at the time that I posted my feedback) were down-voted...It's not that I care for it that much, it just seems petty for anyone to do that. Am I allowed to wonder about something? Just because I asked, doesn't mean I'm obsessed with votes o.O

    He's not talking about you specifically, just about people who care about downvotes as a whole.

    Also, given the amount of players we moderate, it's only natural to expect we pick up a few enemies along the way.

    As a heads up, apologies if things are a LITTLE odd in the visual display here -- was trying out a new display, and I don't have all the kinks ironed out yet, clearly!

    New visuals looks sleek and sick af

    Just a suggestion would be to keep the navigation bar on the left.

    Thought about it, but I liked the immediacy of the results visible righr there in the center. May experiment around more in the future.

    Holy Shit this is a nice page!

    Anyways still good to see that this is still going.

    Would like to enter in again sometime, but I'm just not getting ideas (that plus college work)

    Candurill4 votes

    Yaaaaay top five ^^ Although I actually expected to get higher though... And the results vary a lot between judges aswell XD I mean what, is Jorah's lore generic or is it well rounded and clear? Is the short story hard to read or well readable? Is his kit unique and cool? Or unimaginative and uneventful?

    Maybe some feedback here would be to have more communication between the judges to clarify exactly what and why a certain score would be given...all of the judges gave Jorah very different points for certain categories (especially lore and flow). Maybe with more communication between each other, a more rounded score could be given, while at the same time, some can point out certain strengths or flaws that others had maybe not seen. This will give a better feedback for the writer and (I think) a better result...Not saying that this result is bad btw, congratulations to the winner ^^

    Also: I am feeling like some (especially in the lore part) keep contestants to a much much much higher standard then most if not all actual champions in game... Most of a champions personality is conveyed in game via quotes... and while some indeed have very elaborate short stories, most don't go any deeper then I did with Jorah...

    Anyway, I'm not sure if I'm gonna enter coming month, since I don't have a concept ready :/

    I do sort of agree. The judges did have some VERY contradictory statements. However, I think that makes the ccos better! Champs are best when more people like them, and being judged by different people sort of reflects Riot’s struggle to appeal to more of the player base.

    That is true yes...but in a contest like this, you'd think that personal preference matters less then actually quality...Not saying that my concept is actually better btw... On the other side...these aren't professional judges ofcourse XD I'll forgive them ;P You congratulations with 4th place :)

    RIP river king for promising to judge like for the 4th time in a row and not going through with it

    Sorry: that's my bad. I don't normally run this contest, and forgot to include a hard judging deadline. :(

    Ah no problem. My bad for not getting to it sooner. Hope to try judging again in the future XD

    All the scores are on the judges scoresheets. I didn't do a full set of average scores this time. :(

    Thank y'all so much! I'm hella excited to be in the top 5, but that's besides the point. I read every single comment y'all made on my champ, and I thank you for all the criticisms. The main reason I joined this CCOS was not to see my champ at the top (tbh I'm happy it did...) but to learn about champ design myself! This truly was a learning experience, and I'll take every single one of your comments into consideration if I ever do make another champ! Thank you so much, judges!
