Wilhelm, the Cursed Seeker, by Echoing, with a score of-

...wait, hang on...

...what do you mean I can't judge and also be a contestant?!

Ugh. Well. That sucks.

The actual winner of the August CCOS is, against all odds, Sylva, the Ribbon Dancer, by Skylarke, with a score of 281/330!

In second place, Fronde, Cusp of the Cold, by Arakadia, with a score of 274/330!

In second-and-a-half place, cursing my bad math, we have Marche, the Trespasser, by Villainous, with a score of 241/330!

In a treacherous battle for third place, we have Typhon, Sheath of the Lifedrinker, by Grau, with a score of 235/330!

In third-and-a-half-place, Prismiya, the Gliding Guillotine, by Serpexnessie, with a score of 230/330!

In fourth place, Avonna, the Redeemed Pariah, by showcase25, with a score of 224/330!

In fifth place, Qing, the Dragonguard, by Raxistaicho, with a score of 214/330!

And I can't give honorable mentions because there'd be like 7 of them. This was a really pitched contest, guys, and it's got me excited for next month. Check out your fellow competitors!

Scoresheets are found here: Echoing K1B0 The Djinn

Due to a mishap in communication, The Djinn has no written feedback. Bother him on the C&C Community Discord if you're curious what he thought about your concept!

Expect the next CCOS in a week, roughly.

Don't take bad scores personally! No one's out to put you down - everyone's giving you feedback because they want to see you improve and do better and make something REALLY friggin' cool.

I hope to see you again next month!

I'm glad people enjoyed Varia! I'll do my best to make my next submission even better!

Edit: My one problem: I feel as though the Outreach bonus shouldn't be multiplied by the amount of judges, because I noticed that certain champions scored higher than others on the list if you took away the 30 points granted by the bonus. For example, Marche by Villainous recieved 211 without the Outreach bonus, which Qing only earned 184. Actually, Marche should technically take 3rd place, as with the 30 point bonus, they got 241.

You miiiiight wanna go over a few numbers again before it's too late.

Edit 2: Results without the Outreach Bonus:

Sylva: 271 Fronde: 253 Marche: 211 Varia: 210 Typhon: 205 Derrigan: 202 Hiro: 202 Prismiya: 200 Avonna: 198 Mek: 185 Qing: 184 Nyx: 181 Maddox: 176 Vis'Ona: 166 Kardum: 153 Hikari: 129 Zell: 116 Rob: 99 Tsaaris: 97 Bela: 91

Now, add their three separate Outreach Bonuses:

Sylva: 291 Fronde: 283 Marche: 241 Typhon: 235 Prismiya: 230 Avonna: 228 Qing: 214 Varia: 210 Derrigan: 202 Hiro: 202 Nyx: 199 Vis'Ona: 186 (Might be 196 but The Djinn gave 0 points for it?) Mek: 185 Kardum: 180 Maddox: 176 Hikari: 129 Tsaaris: 122 Zell: 116 Rob: 99 Bela: 91

While Sylva, Fronde, and Marche are still the 100% top three, places around 4th and 5th have changed dramatically. Derrigan and Hiro, two highly-rated concepts, have been relegated to 9th and 10th place from 6th and 7th. Qing, who wasn't even Top 10, placed 7th. Prismiya in 8th place found herself in the Top 5, while Varia, the former 4th place, took her 8th place spot. Adding an incentive to be nice is good, but by multiplying the bonus by number of judges, that makes it basically mandatory which isn't great for people who might not be able to be on the Boards as often. If it were a static 10 points for a review, then results might be more fair in respecting those who had highly-rated concepts.

Results with a static 10 point bonus: Sylva: 281 Fronde: 263 Marche: 221 Typhon: 215 Prismiya: 210 Varia: 210 Avonna: 208 Derrigan: 202 Hiro: 202 Qing: 194 Nyx: 191 Mek: 185 Maddox: 176 Vis'Ona: 176 Kardum: 163 Hikari: 129 Zell: 116 Tsaaris: 107 Rob: 99 Bela: 91

These results still emphasize the importance of the Outreach bonus, as it once again allows Prismiya to break into the Top 5 while booting Varia out, but it doesn't drastically shift rankings compared to giving each judge Outreach Points to give. I accept the results of this CCOS, but in the future I think fewer points for the Outreach Bonus might be needed.

congrats to all. I'm just happy to be judged as top 5, especially with all this good talent and design.

The feels when you could have probably gotten the Outreach bonus but you didn't because you didn't read into it xD

Thanks for all the feedback. Hiro was fun to make but for sure needed more work to try and flesh out his kit. I'll try and come back next month with a tighter concept!

Alright, I reached my goal this time of getting a concept plus lore up- now the goal for the next time is to get the outreach stuff. Start small and keep building up.

Works pretty well when laning too: -Get that minion -Auto the enemy and get away -Ward dat dere bush -Line up the flash
