Talk:2016 League of Legends World Championship

What is League of Legends?
I came here by following a link from the main page 'Did you know?' section because I was intrigued by what sort of championship this is. Having read the intro I'm still none the wiser. Do I really have to follow another link to find out the most basic piece of information regarding this. In fact continuing to skim the first bit of the article I'm still in the dark. Why not say that League of Legends is a video game? This is yet another Wikipedia article written by and for people who already know all about it and which fails in the simplest of objectives of any encyclopedia. Far from being a good article it's a very poor one on this basis alone. If this were a video game review it would be getting one star. 212.159.76.165 (talk) 11:30, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
 * This is a late response and I apologize for not seeing this comment earlier, but I wanted to respond nonetheless. I had also noticed as I conducted the good article review that the article did not provide any kind of general introduction to League of Legends, which would have benefited readers like you, who don't know what League of Legends is. I even had it in my notes for the review. I thought about it, and in the end, I decided that this was a non-issue because 1) a reader who wasn't aware of what League of Legends is could simply follow the link to the article about it, 2) other articles about competitions also do not explain in much detail how the sport/game is played (e.g. Super Bowl XLI, also a good article, does not explain what American football is or how it is played; a reader looking for such information would simply have to follow the link to the article about the sport), and 3) the article is simply not about the game, (rather, a competition involving the game) so going into detail about how it is played would be off-topic. While I definitely understand your concerns that, as a general encyclopedia, Wikipedia should explain topics in a way that everyone can understand, Wikipedia should also expect its readers, when they want to find more information about a topic that is related to the topic of an article they are reading, to go to the article about that topic.
 * To mitigate your concerns, I have added a small appositive to the first sentence of the article, indicating that League of Legends is a video game. I hope that helps. Mz7 (talk) 04:31, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Flag of Soviet Union
Albus NoX having the Soviet flag looks weird. I suggest using the CIS flag, or alternatively the modern russian flag instead. Tmv23 (talk) 10:53, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
