Your Pet Peeves Regarding Guide Writing

[quote=VoiD]When people just build the most expensive items in the game[/quote]

[quote=Canoas]When people put 9999 [[sight wards]] in the purchase order at the top. It doesn't even make any sense. Are we only supposed to buy those wards? It's much easier to just say you need to buy wards.[/quote]

It's much easier to just say you need to buy wards. [/quote] This as well. Consumables aren't necessary in your main item build, unless you want to illustrate what you start with. A guide doesn't need to have a Sight Ward after every item, or a billion potions in the beginning - just mention that you should buy them over the course of the game.[/quote]

[quote=ShadowReign757][quote=Aether Skies] I seriously hate when people go over EVERYTHING They go through every single summoner spell, why you should use what and what not to use. Like seriously, dont even mention smite on annie or revive.. period, just hit your main points Also items. They go over every single item that could ever possibly be considerable on that champion. [/quote] I disagree, I love when people cover everything, it lets me know that they took the time to consider the facts and write a detailed guide and helps to prevent comments like "You need to consider..." or "Try using...." I hate bad spelling and punctuation. A little is okay, but too much is so annoying. I also hate people who say that their build is the best and you will always do good with it. There is no truth in that at all. People play differently, so telling people that the build will work every time is just asking for comments about failing and downvotes that don't read the guide etc. etc.[/quote]

[quote=wRAthoFVuLK]What Shadow said. A full guide [i]should[/i] cover all that, to some extent. Like, maybe not [i]every[/i] summoner spell, and not [i]every[/i] item possible, but yea.[/quote]

[quote=Tr4ce]- When people put the characters story line. If I really gave a fuck I would of read it. - When people give the damage at 1/2/3/4/5 and the cool-down, when we can read the icon.[/quote]

[quote=Rudmed]I don't like it when people tend to give misleading information, and then you look at the stats and sratch your head. Are you sure it was a tank you nuked down with super high AS and 133 AD?[/quote]

[quote=Timh37]I like guides that are clear, not too long, and also include some general tips and tricks for the champion it concerns.[/quote]

[quote=Canoas]I don't like guides that cover everything. When I'm looking at an extensive guide I'll get completely overwhelmed by the amount of information and won't even read half of it. I just want clear explanations on why, when and where those items, runes and masteries are chosen.[/quote]

I'm annoyed by the fact that they want you to spend time reading instead of learning things ingame. This is the reason I don't have a useless section explaining what the spells do in my guides. Any tips that aren't in the spell tooltips are explained in a tips section I have.[/quote]
