A concern that would get brought up very often on the main LoL subreddit is the inclusion of Esports/pro-player content, with no simple way to filter it out for users that aren’t interested in that side of LoL. The moderators never budged on this.
Ideally Esports/pro-player content would have its own community to live in, but a good middle-ground would be to require posts to be labelled with a relevant prefix, like [Esports], [Pro], [Art], [Discussion], as examples.
I think a decision on this should be made sooner rather than later!
Thank you
The only reason to force the tagging is if it can be filtered out. Would be better to just send those posts to a lolesports community. I hated the way r/leagueoflegends handled this issue
I’m not a fan of the esports posts, specifically game threads. I’d like to make a suggestion for the game threads, which tend to clog up the entire front-page (of the community).
Can we instead create a pinned post that contains all of the game threads for the the day? Or maybe a 3 day window game posts. Yesterday, today, tomorrow?
At the very least, yes, we need to create tags to allow users to filter out esports posts. I actually think just [Esports] is too vague. There needs to be two levels, [EsportsMatch] and [EsportsNews] because I think those are different classifications. My biggest issue is with game day threads that I care zero about clogging up this communities homepage.
I usually like to watch worlds but I must admit I wouldn’t miss the esports posts. However, for the time being I agree that we should try to keep the community closer and not disperse further.
So I’ll happily ignore the esports stuff for now :) I’d love that in the future it got split though.
A league of legends sub without esports content will be filled with bitching about champions and skins just like the redidt sub is during off season. It’s garbage content that is a waste of everyone’s time.
I personally would not like to see esports content removed, and as others have already said, splitting up such a small community won’t do much good
