Yes, I know I copied what you had written. I found it easier than going through everything and editing it (I had to leave for work, so time was of the essence) and I think its better if that was posted on the first post rather than on the second page. If you want, I can put a note saying that you edited msot of the work (if that makes you feel better. I would have quoted it if not for the possible need to keep editing it in the future.

Just give her credit among the others at the bottom.
"I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I’m ****ing ******ed but I don’t care, I’m beautiful. I’m having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me “Apache” and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can’t accept me you’re a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding." - Guuse

"uh, I identify as counterstrike and I find this globally offensive" - ???

lol haha, I was joking around ^^ It didn't take that long to format most of it to look aesthetically pleasing, and the original idea was yours, not to mention most of the text itself is Jebus, yours and PsiGuard's.

Totally didn't mean to come off as petulant :P

It looks great, and I hope more people add some other ideas to it. As soon as I think of any, I'll drop back here and contribute some more :3

EDIT: My edit of the content is in my Will Review For Food Thread too, with links back here, so I'll try to keep it updated there when you update here.

Edit: I think I will put what was added her also, since its hard to find it in the OP.

Under Requirements for a Good Guide
Originality: A good guide is original. Sure, you have the core items and such for each champion, but your explanations, descriptions, situational items and even skill sequence have to be original. Having the exact same build and guide as a top rated guide doesn't mean your's is good. Be original, show that you actually know the champion by putting some of yourself into your guide.


Under Improving your Guide
Including Alternatives: Alternative Rune setup, Mastery setup, hell even an alternative skill sequence will make your guide much better. This allows your build to be used for multiple setups. Whats more, it helps having alternatives because not everything always goes as planned, and sometimes you have to use a certain mastery point or a certain rune setup to counter a pick (for ranked mainly).

If anyone wants to edit/add to these, please let me know.

Nice additions. Noticed a few typos: "your's" > "yours" and "Whats more" > "What's more".

An example for "Including Alternatives" could be: For example, if your team doesn't have any DoTs (damage of time abilities), and the enemy team has a Dr. Mundo or Vladimir, changing your standard summoners of Exhaust + Flash to Ignite + Flash will shut down those champions in a teamfight, as both rely on their self-healing abilities.

That's all I can think of, at the moment :P

Under "Organisation", I think you should have this list:

Introduction
Pros / Cons
Summoner Spells
Runes
Masteries
Skill Explanations + Skill Sequence + Unique Skills + Skill Combo
Items
Farming / Jungling
Gameplay
Summary
