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
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’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.
I’ll echo the sentiment of others here: we don’t have enough posts/activity here yet to worry about this. Having said that, i do prefer having everything in one sub/community much like the league subreddit.
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
