For me, it's an issue of the fact that shoving a bunch of pictures into a guide doesn't make it nicer looking and so getting a lower score because I prefer my guides to mostly be actual content is annoying (I'm sure it is to MissMaw too, actually). In fact, generally, pictures that aren't informative content (warding maps, screenshots showing ranges, ect), besides an opening banner and dividers (maybe a closing banner), clutter up a guide and usually just take up extra space.

If you use guide chapters they already have the chapter titles shown. If you use a single chapter style format like the one I use, then you can simply type and format titles yourself. There's really no reason to stick a bunch of pictures in a guide except to get enough characters for it to actually count as one, it's really no different than sticking the champion lore in its own chapter to bump up your character count. It adds virtually nothing to the guide that you couldn't add with good coding and text colors.

I don't care about my score in this particular case and I don't expect you to change it, I just want to point that out.

Maw actually said nearly the same thing, and the point that both of you brought up is the reason why I am changing it. Maw's guide is a perfect example: almost no art whatsoever, but the coding makes it look gorgeous.

Jhoi's Ashes to Ashes guide is another great example.

Essentially, you are right. Art does not need to be a factor in order for a guide to be visually appealing.
Thank you Toshabi for the advice!

I always thought you needed a guide in the first place in order to get it reviewed
