[meta] regular match/post match discussion threads?

3 years ago by levmyskin to c/leagueoflegends

Hey! First things first, thank you for creating this community. Now, do you think we should have more regular match or post match threads in this community? I saw there are some here and there, but not consistently for any match. I would also be available to create a bot to automate this, if you think that would be a cool thing to have

Could be good in the long run but I worry there won’t be enough engagement with them until there are more users here. Would be kinda sad to see them be the majority of the posts on the community

Mh yeah I see your point. What about creating just a megathread for all matches on a given day? It wouldn't be as much spam, and it would attract some users I think. I think on the other hand at the moment there are not many posts, and maybe this would help raise the engagement a bit

That could be a good way to start so there can be some conversation

I mean that's true no matter what kind of post there is. Just gotta figure a way to supercharge the subscriber count.

Hey there, I'm the one who's been spamming this community with some LEC post-match threads.

I made a script to automate the creation during the regular season, but then I went away on vacation and when I came back, we were into group stage, and my script doesn't work (yet) with Bo3 format, and I haven't had time to fix it lately. Also, these posts didn't generate much discussion/reactions so I kinda lost motivation tbh. Nice to know someone enjoyed them, and I'm probably gonna fix the script soon.

Also in regard to where to post them, there are a few threads discussing them and I noticed some people don't like having eSport threads in this community, but the majority of people seem to agree that there aren't enough posts on this community to start being picky about what to post and to split the community (which I agree to). So as long as there are no official statement/rules on this community that prevent it, I'll post them in here. If you don't like it, sue me 😎

No. I don't follow eSports, a lot of players don't care. The subreddit was full of that and it drives away discussion when it does happen. We should follow what Rocket League does with their communities.

What would that be? I think many players don't care, and many players do...so it would be nice to have a solution for both

Yeah, the solution is to split so if you want both you can subscribe....to both.
