Update

There are 10 champions, one of which is named Ahri. Games last on average 45 minutes. A champion has kills/assists/deaths, levels, gold, items, etc. There are 120 champions, each having 4 spells one of which is very strong (named R). There are walls and bushes on the map. Ahri can have 3 stacks in her R.

10 champions are picked per game, one of which is named Ahri. Games last on average 45 minutes. A champion has kills/assists/deaths, levels, gold, items, etc. There are totally 120 different champions, each having 4 spells one of which is very strong (named R). There are walls and bushes on the map. Ahri can have 3 stacks in her R.

It doesn't have to be this way however. We have many tools at our disposal which we don't use to the same extent as on Stack Overflow:

To me this seems like users on Arqade are therefore more tolerant than they should to bad content (down-vote worthy, too broad, opinion-based etc.)

Whilst this may not be a big issue at present, Our popularity will go up similar to Stack Overflow until one day we look back and we realise that Arqade needs some serious cleanup. I am not implying SO is perfect. All I am saying is that SO is very successful at what it does.

So I'm wondering, is there any way we can preempt this? My question is twofold:

###Addendum Creating a high quality site doesn't necessarily imply we should post more good quality content, or that we aren't already posting good quality content. All I'm saying is we need to attract the right people.

UPDATE 2

To include a bit more examples as requested in the comments:

I was wrong. Quality standards are actually much lower than I thought. Take for example first question mentioned: "Should I chase down Squishys in teamfights with Ahri?"

Note: Some of you probably have no idea about LoL so I will analyse it quite a bit.

Champions have health, and a secondary resource for casting spells.

Time for math.

Each champion can have a relative distance to another so that gives us another 9+8+7...+1 = 45 variables.

Excluding things I did not mention (masteries, runes, summoner spells available) and things that cant be quantified (fight location relative to objects on map), and assuming distance is quantized (close, mid, far), assuming other variables being quantized (health: very low, low, medium etc), we get a very rough approximation of combinations (brace yourselves...):

10⁶¹ = 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

As a comparison there are about 10⁵⁰ atoms on earth.

Whoever declined my flag doesn't consider this broad.

This demonstrates current situation and the community's attitude towards content quality. If needed I could provide more of those, just let me know in the comments below.
