User:Frostels/PvX Real Vetting Suggestions

Hello everyone one, it is 5AM here so please accept the odd grammatical error/spelling mistakes.

Other Builds
Ok, so we have these "Other Builds"; they're not Good/Great or even meta, they are just builds that are meant to "work". Any build can work so there is a flaw already in these sections. Secondly, PvX has a reputation for what you could call "lolbuilds". None of these Other builds would be run by anyone with common sense. People run Great builds to win, and if they want to have fun then they can go to userpages.

I am suggesting we remove the Other builds section because it does not contribute positively to the wiki and the whole idea of the section is dragging PvX down. Many people post a build with the sense of "well it's at least an Other build" which is not what we want. Builds like that are all well and good for userspace, but in the main build space we want the best builds, not the ones that got a 5 win streak in RA and are claimed to be amazing.

Why do people come to PvX
Obviously there are regular users who go round the wiki daily, these people will see the other section more often, but I highly doubt any of them come on the specifically look at builds in the other section. Then there is the majority of visiters, those who come to see whats in the meta, whats great, and most importantly to get the meta/great builds, I can guarentee you nobody comes to see the other section (maybe the good). So whats the point in having it, if no one comes here to see it?

Making a smooth transition
A week before the removal a news message will be placed on the main page telling people to move any Other builds that they want to their userspaces. this means if anyone actually used builds regularly from that section, they have time to save the builds they use.

Implications on the other build types (Good/Great)
Now since there is no Other section, Good builds will be the lowest on the pecking order, but to make sure no one simply aims for a good build (instead of just using a great build) the Good threshold should be move to 4.0 to make sure that the Good builds really are good. The great threashold will remain at 4.5 (although it could be raised to 4.8 which is an average 5/4 rating) to keep with continuity. This will require a lot of work but with the active and very determined users of PvX it could be done in a jiffy.
