^Thought as much. So what's gonna happen to those who don't have a summoner name, but have been verified?

Edit: Astrolia, I don't care how many other accounts you have gotten to gold or plat or diamond or whatever. You have verified ONE account on MobaFire, and I should be able to have a look at that ONE account. Throatslasher has played on at LEAST 5 accounts with more than 50 games this season, but he hasn't said "Yo, I play on 5 other accounts, I have 50 games all up, my elo is now 1800, gimme a badge".

Sounds fair :) What about the idea of adding IGN display to forum comments? Do you think that would be necessary, seeing as people have badges in the forums?

Would probably make sense. I mean, they used to display. I honestly have no idea why they removed them from comments in the first place. >.>

Uh, I don't know why you're talking to me like my summoner name isn't filled out (plus I have a huge banner in my profile that shows my IGN), but your post said, "How can I trust a gold+ guide if I can't even check if they've played xxx champion in the last few months?" This implies something like entirely different than what you're saying now - wanting to use ranked stats to see if they've played a certain champion versus wanting to see if their summoner name and elo match up. Stats and such don't matter, though, if a person just got carried to their elo without really improving. When it comes to writing guides, a person's practical game knowledge can speak louder than their elo, as guides are largely a reflection of your experience.

Didn't they have that before the forum aesthetics overhaul?

If I helped you, click that +rep!

Astorlai: I was using the word "you" as a general term. As in, I wasn't referring to you specifically, just putting it into context. What you've said is true too; I just want to be able to look someone "of high elo" up and see what they've done. And that requires their summoner name in their profile.

Pikachu: I thought so too o.o I wondered when it was removed.

I think astrolia's point is that they might practice certain champions on certain accounts so only seeing their one account may not reflect their actual knowledge of the champion.

I think that's a pretty specific / small case and if someone wants to make their smurfs known they can always write it in their guide or bio. Either way some people do like to check a guide writer's stats. I see your point though.

seeing lots of guides with crazy ranked stats posted i also agree you should be able to look em up for yourself since it might change anytime.

EDIT:
also, how fast does mobafire varify you as gold or plat? Like if i were to be gold today when would it be displayed next to my account name?

If you have 50 games played and your current elo is 1500 and above, you'll receive the gold badge after you ask for verification. Speed of verification depends who's online in the MobaFire chatroom in game.
