Variations in Formatting
Hello.
Something I've noticed is that everybody formats their class suggestions in a particular way, with many minor variations. It looks something like the following:

Name of Class
____________

Passive(s)
Description of passive
____________

Active Ability 1
Description of what ability does
(Optional, Upgrades)
____________

Active Ability 2
Description of what ability does
(Optional, Upgrades)
____________

(More active abilities as needed)
__________________________

[/b]Ultimate Ability[/b]
Description of what ability does
(Optional, Upgrades)



_____________________________________________________________________

I have a few things to say/address on this topic.

1) Please follow the above format, or any variation of it. Just don't make a giant paragraph. Your idea is likely to be ignored if you don't.


2) Before you read any of the following, I'd like to make it clear that I personally think it's in our best interest as a community to follow a stricter format, to reduce variations. We all generally follow the above format, but everybody has their own small variation. Your opinion might differ, and that's okay. Voice your concern, I want to know how many are opposed to stricter formatting in the first place.


3) What I'm wondering about is the tiny details in formatting. Can we as a community agree on certain small details in formatting?

1) Do we want to require suggestions to bold the titles & abilities? What about just bolding the tittle?
2) How do we want to separate abilities? Just put some space in between the abilities or put a line?
3) What about suggesting cooldowns, damage, mana cost, and other things. Do we want to require that or not?
4) Do we as a community want upgrade suggestions to be required when presenting a class idea? Do we want to require naming the upgrades, if it's required to present upgrade suggestions?

If there's something I missed, please tell me.


4) What about Torann? What's his opinion on this, how does he want us to format things?


5) Where do we want to agree? Discord or on a discussion like this?


6) When we agree to format everything a certain way, how do we want to make a master copy of the format to easily use? In a new, pinned discussion? Or a 3rd party site?


Thank you for reading this.
