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 don’t think we have enough content yet to already be splitting up posts into different Lol esports communities. Maybe one day if this community gets way more popular. For now, I think flairing the posts is a good idea, though. I know it does bother some people.

    I haven’t been an extremely active user of /r/leagueoflegends recently, but I always preferred one large community as opposed to a bunch of League “micro”-communities.

    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
