Well well, VonMuggettramp.

+1 for "walls and walls of text" :D

Although the guide itself is good, you do need to tone it down a bit about walls of text vs images.

People who truly care about their guide turn the walls of text they wrote into images and less text while still trying to get the main idea across. People who spend time trying to make their guides look pretty with more images and less walls of text use TONS of time to do that because they know that people don't like reading walls of text and tend to IGNORE them. The majority of people who read this guide are going to skim over it, lose interest and go on to another guide. Why? Because it's all one big wall of text. You have zero reason for people to interest themselves in walls of text. It's hard on the eyes and useless. Certainly you can have tons of info in a wall of text, but it would be better, and people would remember better what you put in that wall of text.

Screenshots and videos are there because what you can say with words, you can also say with videos or pictures.

Instead of detailing a jungling route by saying (ok start at wraiths first, then go to wolves blah blah blah) you can save time and space by simpling showing a stonewall jungling video and going (this is the route I use, it's the best route there is, you need armor seals to be able to do it, and if you don't have armor seals I suggest using this route instead) and at that point you can record a video using fraps or LoLreplay, upload it to youtube and then post it again.

Like I said, images > text because like they say, an image is worth a thousand words and draws peoples attention what your actually putting.

And yes, i'm aware that what I just wrote could be considered a wall of text.

Can't take this guide seriously after the horrendously gay titles for each chapter.
Other than that, I wish people would understand this better.

GumGumRocket Hint #3

I'm voting up just after seeing this.
Ace's mimic in the bar.... PRICELESS.

So.
What's wrong with well presented guides with pictures?
Also, lol. Lol lol. Photoshopping to prove your guide es #1?
Not likely. Even if they do the quality of the guide is in the content and the rating, not their score. Everyone knows that.
Imagine for a brief moment you're in the middle of a shop, with your desk set up along the wall inbetween several other desks all trying to sell their own gear as the best. Now, people have seen your gear, and they go 'well, I personally don't think its very good'. So what you do is have a demonstration of the gear in action, or proof of its usefulness.

Hence pictures of score and videos of performance. It entices a person to try it. I'll state right here, glass cannon Rumble is oftenly frowned upon, becaus everyone wants high damage unkillable Rumble, but its an entirely viable strategy. So how do you prove that to someone who is so dead set on building Rumble a different way?

What you're promoting isn't bad. But you're promoting it in the wrong way. You should advise people to look past the displays of scores and videos to read the content and not check on face value.
Added note: Top Ryze and Ashe guides both have their scores in it. The Ryze guide doesn't feature it until the end and the Ashe one contains a defeat.

There is nothing wrong with following the cookie cutter builds, and almost all high rated guides contain alternative items that you can pick situationally in favour of what's at the top. Many even use pictures to demonstrate.

In conclusion.
No reason to hate on the pictures and videos and things. They have a strong purpose beyond 'LOL I AM GOOD. PLAY LIKE ME AND WIN.'

I take serious offence to this.

1) My guide has "flashy pictures" and "awesome graphics" - by graphics I assume you mean formatting
2) My guide has screenshots of my games with that champion to prove that it is viable]
3) You're telling me that people who look at my guide are laughing to themselves.

Walls of text do not always mean good information. Walls of text mean the author hasn't read through it enough to cut out the fermenting **** of grammatical errors and inexcusable syntax mistakes, the paragraphs that reek of bad writing and the inability to be succinct.

I implore you to read the following guides:

1) My Ashe Guide
2) This Annie Guide
3) This Malzahar Guide

And tell me that straight walls of text, with no images or "flashy graphics" are the ones people should read. All you've succeeded in doing with this "guide" is pissing people off and ranting in the worst way possible - completely misinformed.

Good day to you, sir.

I wish everyone knew this stuff.

good guide, as an active LOL played myself i already do most of these tips, however there is 1 and only 1 huge flaw to this guide, IT IS A WALL OF TEXT, which in most cases do have by far the most info, but new played look for the flashy 1k damage poppy videos instead of the well of text explaining how you can do 1500 by waiting .2 seconds more

i dont see how you can really clean this guide up a ton, but other then that its good info that people should read
