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.
Definitely agree that the community is far too small and content too limited at the moment to justify maintaining two separate communities.
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 made exactly this post a while back and the replies I got were interesting to say the least. But in essence people loved eSport content but didn't want to go to their own eSports subreddit because it wouldn't have any visibility.
Interesting, filterable flairs are probably the best solution then to give everyone what they want. I'm not sure if filters are available yet on fediverse sites (I'm new like almost everyone!) but it would be good to be prepared for them.
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'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.
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 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
