So here's my Amumu guide. It's gotten four downvotes and I'm not quite sure why, when it hit me: I may be too wordy.

I'm trying to follow SixSonatas's build format, which is brilliant, believe me, but while the format is going to inevitably be long, I notice that SixSonatas is more concise in his descriptions, making it an easier read.

My question is: Is the guide too wordy? Does the effort to make it very in-depth only make it a boring experience to read? Maybe I should condense it down or cut some unnecessary details, if any. Thanks!

No build linking!

Also if you're guide looks nice it'll most likely get more up votes than down.

It's not about the words but if it's neat. I don't care if there's 8 trillion letters of text (I probably won't read it all) but if there's some sort of table of contents and I can skip to the important parts then I'd actually read it. It's probably just trolls, hopefully the downvotes end (I know downvotes love me :P).

You were probably being sarcastic but just wanted to say, this thread is exactly what this forum is for :)

There's a common factor in using the internet, and that is the existence of trolls.
I have 6 unknown downvotes on my guide as well, and though I hated it when I first got them, I figure that when people see a quality guide, people will upvote more than the trolls can downvote.

Yeah, but the thing is that my guide lacked the attention that many others get - landing the spot on the top 10 was major for me because of the publicity.

Then the trolls came and took it down... T_T

Ah well, as you say, with time, hopefully it'll accumulate some up-votes.

I feel ya Jebus, I was on the top 10 on and off (9th, 10th, or not on) for about two weeks, then went up to about 4th, 5th for the remaining two weeks.

Don't let trolls phase you, quality guides will take over MOBA!
