[quote=jhoijhoi][url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/alistar-the-ability-powered-cow-96441]Kirluu's Alistar Guide[/url] [color=#ff0000]Verdict:[/color] An extremely in-depth and well presented/laid-out guide that keeps your attention almost all the way through-out. The author clearly knows what they are talking about in terms of Alistar Playstyle. [color=#008000]Possible Improvements:[/color] The guide lacks general aesthetics amongst its walls of text, deterring the reader from deciphering the wealth of knowledge the author has compiled. The situational items section could be expanded upon - for instance, I know it is quite common for Alistar to buy [[heart of gold]] or [[philosopher's stone]] early on, especially if they are slotted into the "support" role bottom. The centred text grated on my nerves, but that's just personal preference. Loved the guide, +1. Constructive Criticism: 1) I feel as if [[exhaust]] would be better suited on [[alistar]]. While you do have [[flash]] to close gaps, [[exhaust]] is always useful for slowing down an enemy, and I can't count the many times I have been screwed over by an exhaust as an AD/AP carry. 2) Unique guide layout ^^ 3) Improved Ignite is possibly the worst improvement mastery :/ 4) Why not use the BBCode for the masteries? 5) When using columns, add space between them. I detail how to do this in my guide about making a guide. 6) No mention of [[exhaust]] at all? :/ 7) BBCode for ability sequence. 8) Not a fan of excessive amount of centred text. Your guide also lacks colour/coding amongst those walls of text. 9) Most of your tips and tricks could be located in a "Ability Explanation" section, which you don't have for some reason.[/quote]

I'm also sorry about keeping you all waiting, it's just that university is actually hard this semester, requiring me to attend classes (I know, I'm amazing), do assignments earlier, and I'm going to have to study HARD for this retarded Problem Solving in-class Exam for algebra and calculus =.= I'll try to get reviewing soon. I don't promise that I'll be finished with the list tonight, or tomorrow, or on the weekend. But I will try and make my way through it.

[quote=jhoijhoi][url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/mordekaiser-the-metallic-nightmare-tt-105999]VKZ95's Mordekaiser Guide[/url] [color=#ff0000]Verdit:[/color] A VERY in-depth Mordekaiser guide that not only gives you a good build for the Twisted Treeline, but explains alternative items well. [color=#ffff00]EDIT:[/color] A terrific guide! There are only a few changes that could made to this guide, but it certainly is the best Twisted Treeline guide I have ever read. [color=#008000]Possible Improvements:[/color] The author needs to spend some time making the guide aesthetically pleasing. Have a look around at the other guides in this thread and see if you can implement some changes to make it nicer to read. I struggled to read your guide because I grew bored too fast. While you have a lot of good information, I feel as if people are just going to skip everything in your guide due to it not grabbing the reader's attention. Visual changes are not hard to make, pop into my guide about writing a guide and have a look at the various ways in which you can enrich a bland guide :) [color=#ffff00]EDIT:[/color]Wow, I literally have no feedback. The guide is great, I can't remember what it looked like before, but this is one of the best guides I have read. Very simple, to the point and just... is great. I really enjoyed just *reading* this guide, cruising through all the text, not finding anything to pick on. The one thing I did notice, however, was that you didn't center large icons/images/videos. It looks much better when things like that are centred on the page. Other than that, fantastic guide, immediate +1. Sorry I didn't have much feedback :/[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi][url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/dont-mess-with-the-shen-98615]Siveo's Shen Guide[/url] [color=#ff0000]Verdict:[/color] I really enjoyed reading this in-depth and well-written Shen guide. The author has spent a lot of time perfecting this guide and gathering relevant resources (videos) to enrich the guides content, and I applaud him for his effort. [color=#008000]Possible Improvements:[/color] The last few chapters of the guide fell flat in terms of presentation and aesthetic pleasantness. I believe the author could put in a bit more time to the sections mentioned in the review, and flesh these sections out. The guide is definitely a good fall-back for old and new Shen players alike. Constructive Criticism: 1) Summoner Spells = Good. Runes = Good. Ability Sequence = Good. Items = Good. 2) Great use of my template! Looks fantastic! In your Summoner Spells section, I'd suggest an extra enter space after "For example: Will you use Ghost to flee/catch up or Exhaust?", as the text is too close to the column headings. 3) You could merge your Tips and Tricks section into the Abilities section (the way I've shown in my Guide about Making a Guide), but you don't have to ^^ 4) I'd suggest [[ninja tabi]] in your situational items section. You have plenty of magic resist with [[force of nature]] and you spec dodge chance in the Defense tree, so why not boost your dodge chance with Ninja Tabi? 5) I feel as if "Taking/Supportive role", "Laning phase" and "Map awareness" are sections that can be merged into one to conserve space. Unless you add some colour/images/formatting into each section to make them longer and more appealing to read, I'd suggest merging the chapters and just allocating appropriate headings. 6) Center your videos.[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi][url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/in-depth-item-guide-97205?page=4#lastcomment]theBMB's Item Guide[/url] [color=#ff0000]Verdict:[/color] A valuable addition to the General Guides of MobaFire, containing information of items that many people would find useful. [color=#008000]Possible Improvements:[/color] Another section that reveals which item turns into what would be really cool to see. I think that the guide is one that every new player should read. The author has clearly spent a lot of time on this guide, and I'm surprised it hasn't received more attention. +1 Constructive Criticism: 1) In the 3rd chapter of your guide, your columns are too close to the normal text. I'd suggest an extra enter space before and after the column formatting. The blue headings are also eye breaking (3 colours in such short space), maybe a darker colour would look nicer. 2) I'd suggest the bbcode "float" for the "shoes" section. 3) Love your Unique Items section. It's the best presented and the information in it is the best written. Maybe you should update the rest of your guide :P In terms of paragraphs, you may like to have a new enter space for each line, ie: aousdbaosubdajsbdowuowjelajsdh [enter] asodijaspiclcjnasodiajskdjapis You should mention that selling an item that has just used it's unique passive/active (say you just died and used Guardian Angel, and it's on cooldown) and buying a new one, the cooldown is reset. Don't know if that's relevant or not ^^[/quote]

[quote=theBMB]Oh very interesting, I never thought about doing that with GA, not sure how gold efficient that would be. Probably a smart idea in super late game when you've completed your build anyway. Most of the other passive/actives with a cooldown have a low enough cooldown to not justify rebuying the item. Quick question, what exactly does the float tag do? edit: trying to use float, but [float][/float] does nothing[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]It's in my guide about making a guide. http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/making-a-guide-101506#chapter16 The GA comment was referring to buying it again late game, yeah, if you have a lot of gold ^^[/quote]

[quote=theBMB]o man, that float tag is sexy, I'm gonna update my whole item list to use it, i'll let you know when it's finished.[/quote]

[quote=Siveo]So first off all: Thanks a lot for the review! I hope you like reading my first guide ever. So here it comes: My criticism on your criticism ;) [quote=jhoijhoi] Constructive Criticism: 1) Summoner Spells = Good. Runes = Good. Ability Sequence = Good. Items = Good. 2) Great use of my template! Looks fantastic!

[/quote] 1) Uhm ... Thanks :D 2) Added an enter. 3) Hmmm ... I thought about it but I prefer to leave it like it is now. There will be people that just want to look at tips & tricks for the champion. Making it easier for them to look just at 1 chapter without other info in it! I've categorized every tip/trick with titles (every ability has a title) so it's still easy to see what tip/trick is for what ability. This point of criticism made me merge my abilities and skill sequence chapters since it's about the same thing: Abilities. I hope you like these changes/idea's 4) I suggested already [[Ninja Tabi]] but not with the optionals, it was listed in my core where I explained my choice for the [[Mercury's Treads]]. But I've relocated them and gave them some more explenation. 5) I merged them, rewrote them and tried to make it a bit more attractive. 6) Done, I hope you like the video's ;) So I hope I could impress you a little with my guide. As you can see, I try to put a lot off work in it and keep it up to date. Now I only need to get more views and votes :D I hope the attention in this thread will make my guide a little bit more popular.[/quote]
