I have a questions regarding the cheat sheet of my Annie guide(link in my sig)I found that a few people rating my guide only look at the cheat sheet and judge it only on that. This is a shame really because I go pretty in depth on skills, items choices and runes. At the start I only had a couple of core items (2xdorans+sorc+rabadons) and people said I didn't have enough item choices.
Later I added some items from my late game section and I had a complaint that the order didn't make any sense, while I explain in my item section that you have to base your item choices on a game-by-game basis.

I was wondering do you guys have any suggestions on how I should best approach my cheat sheet; I want it to be a quick overview for people, still people look at it and judge my guide solely based on it.

Just make a standard cheat sheet with an interesting item. People will start to wonder why you took that item. They will probably want to know why you chose that item so they will go to look it up in your item section and maybe read your section ;)

This idea can always backfire on you since some people don't really like to read and will just downvote because you will have that 1 item in your build but yea, there will always be people that troll!

1. Put all 6 of your final items in your cheatsheet. Right now you have 5 on both builds. Also, only have ONE cheatsheet if at all possible, which would be pretty easy on your guide.

2. The cheatsheet is a part of your guide. If people criticize it, then you might want to listen to them. I personally wouldn't downvote based solely on a cheatsheet, but you want ALL aspects of your guide to be at their best.

3. Your cheatsheet should show the item build that you would use most often against a balanced team. Situational items can be explained in your guide, but you shouldn't have a half-finished cheatsheet just because items are situational.
Thanks to The_Nameless_Bard for the sig!

The reason I have 2 cheat-sheets is because both builds are different and serve different purposes so I wanted to emphasize that. If just put 6 items in both sheets that will most likely work when purchased in that order, if people find it odd or want detail still I'll just point them to my explanation.

No one criticized my sheet, some people just rate my guide by only looking at my sheet, I found this out by msging them. I'm looking for the best way to counter this type of behavior.

I'd recommend building your cheat sheet for an "average game." -- That is, a game in which your team and your opponent's team have all their roles filled (3 lanes, jungle, and support or roam), and in which the damage output of both teams is fairly balanced (yourself included). As a suggestion, drop the RoA build, and include it as a "what to situationally do" section in the guide.

So yeah, I included what I would call a 'standard build' in the cheat sheet section I'll just see what people say about it.

I don't think I'll drop the RoA sheet, it isn't as situational as say GA and it also depends on personal preference on which build you like the most.

Get rid of your second build? Just list RoA as a situational item in the item list. It's better to have one build displayed, and then all situational items explained later on.

+1 for the aesthetically pleasing guide though :)
