I have to be honest here now... So far, I'm not as satisfied with the CCC's in general as I wanted to be. It's a cool idea which has brought back experienced conceptionists, like myself, and enabled concepts we wouldn't have thought about otherwise (personally, I'm very glad that I got to work on Herculeon from the CCC1 and I'm sure other people have a good connection to one of their CCC-concepts).

But right now, people are majorly voting for concepts that have been contested in the respective concept, either being OP or having a conceptual flaw. Of course, those who are winning in a poll are much more discussed and I can understand that. It just makes me think about if the majority of the voters are actually reading at least some concepts before voting.

There need to be some rethinking, at least in my opinion. The CCC needs at least one additional layer. I suggest having a small group of "custom champ experts from the LoLwiki" (maybe the host Lykrast, someone who is good with stats and someone who is good with designs) who are rating each concept, accompanied by a short comment. If something like that happens, then I wouldn't mind the polls. Have a people's choice, but also an expert's choice (preferably AFTER the poll has been closed).

Of course, it's up to debate which winner is allowed to determine the challenge for the next CCC. But... Why not having the people's winner and the expert's winner each submit a challenge and post them both? Conceptionists then can have a small degree of choice which challenge they want to include. Maybe even both.
