Where did the concepters go?

By this I meant people who took part in the CCOS regularly, among others like Metal Gear Roses, Vorazun, Candurill, BowietheNifty, even people like Regonas and Echoing. Their concepts were always really detailed and nice to read.

Is it because there isn't a CCOS anymore or....

a lot of creators stop posting here because concepts get downvoted unless they come with SUPER GOOD like near rioter quality art, or the idea is so well fleshed out and interesting to read it basically doesn't need feedback. I know this because a lot of people who downvote aren't even other conceptors but people who post elsewhere who don't care to look at our work, so they look at it, read it, then see numbers and immediately think abilities are stupid op, or the amount of something on an ability is ridiculous but unlike us unless theyve done extensive research on champion roles and stuff they mainly just think themselves above us and downvote.

TLDR: non conceptors don't want to read, then call bs, then downvote, or leave just a negative comment.

Or like others above they just bide their time.

TBH i hate that posts can be downvoted. I'd much rather just have a flag option that once it gets enough flags it just gets deleted.

Dude! Exactly. I almost deleted one of my concepts from my blog that absolutely no one visits when I came back to look at it because I thought the numbers were absurd and crazy OP... then I looked more at it and noticed literally it was more fragile than Sona and was a melee champion with one true damaging spell and a kit that flowed to focus on high speed spell spamming to achieve strength for a short time...

But really, there was a conceptor that I used to see on here that literally wrote novels of content on his creations and it was a glorious delve of thinking for 2 hours.

Then we get those people on a this side of the forum that requires a bit of thinking and time and they give it 1 minute...

This is really spot on. Now that I finally decided to post some of my concepts, I'm afraid no one is really interested in discussing league design anymore... Ironically, concepts that get more comments are those that exhibit major design problems that are easy to spot and they sometimes climb the board because of that! (mine is probably bad, but I don't even know as of now D: )

This. I do have a few concepts myself, but they will be waiting for next CCOS or something similiar where I can get actual criticism and discussions.

I'm biding my time for the next CCOS round :) I'm also reworking some older concepts and brainstorming for new ones...i must admit that it feels nice to see that i'm missed XD

But yea, i guess the rest is just waiting aswel :)

Pretty much, yeah. I'm biding my time for the CCOS to show up, impatiently waiting for the thread. Maybe I'll go make that tank champion that one thread's asking for. I can't speak for everyone else, but I'm pretty sure that'll explain some of their absences.

Regonas's last post was eleven days ago, not too long after a couple of his posts got deleted. A suspension is not unlikely.

Echoing's probably waiting for the next CCOS just like myself, word on the street Regonas got another large suspension for being toxic on the boards but I could be mistaken.

CCOS wasn't being done for June due to host changes. It'll be back in for July with a new host :)

Please let me knwo what CCOS is?

I think I participated in something like this 2 or 3 years ago. Is it a fan concept competition? If it is, I'd like to join!

She's busy keeping Alarak in line :p

Vorazun2 votes

Ha, that's my day job :D

In all seriousness I'm off trying to fix up a new concept of mine which is still lacking an ability or two.

Spoiler: It's a DPS with some new innovative micro mechanics!

Arakadia2 votes

I wish I was known lol. I've only done one CCOS and I'm mostly on gameplay, but I review a lot of concepts.

ModEchoing2 votes

Oh hey, would you look at that? Shortly after this post, we have concepts from me, Vorazun, Candurill, and BowietheNifty.

I'll just toss out a thank you for showing your appreciation on behalf of everyone else.

I'm just waiting for the next ccos like Roses and Echoing. Gonna try to apply as a host this month while I bide my time to improve a champ concept I'm pondering up.

I've got a few concepts I got in mind, one already posted and another still in the works that I might post anyway just for some ideas.

I remember when there used to be 3 contests running at the same time each month The CCOS, The MCCC, & The MACFA (Make A Champion For Art) but there where a lot more creators then. Some having a different champion in each one.

The mccc... Those were the days.

I slowed down simply because I don't see the point in making concepts these days, but that's just me.

Dang... I want to join this league of known concepters. Need to start working on everything around just the kit... Ugh. Back to my notebook of scribbles, concept blog, and pinterest...

Review other people's stuff, then leave a link to your champion. If you leave a nice, coherent review, it makes you look good, which makes your champion look good.
