[quote=PsiGuard][quote=jhoijhoi] Advertising your guide is against the rules. This is an opinion thread, not a request for review thread. [/quote] Correct. I let the mention of your Jax guide slide since you used it as an example of your writing style, but other than that you shouldn't need to point people to other guides to accomplish the purpose of this thread.[/quote]

As a pre-service English teacher I have to read a lot of literature, including books, articles and journal chapters. The books etc I can get my head around much easier, are those with graphs, tables, diagrams and/or figures that explain the relationship between theories, ideas and concepts. When I am tasked to a reading which is 20 pages long, single spaced - I skim. I ctrl+v any important terms I have to be looking for "socio-cultural lens", "equity", "scaffolding", and read the sentence before and after the found word. If it is interesting, I'll keep reading. If not, I'll use the first reference I find and manage to make it fit my assessment. However, if the reading is manageable, the monotony broken up by boxes of "important information" etc, I am far more likely to read the whole article.

In all seriousness though: I believe the information is primarily what a guide should be rated on not how pretty it is. It's absurd how many shitty guides are higher rated because they "look better". I'm not saying a guide without any formatting, or just a literal wall of text is what I want, of course not. But "going the extra mile" to the extent that it absolutely obscures THE CONTENT of a guide is moronic and honestly a reason I feel a majority mobafire voters are incapable of making an objective vote. They see pretty lights and colors and think "ooo shiny this guide is gud derpderpderp". But this is like beating a dead horse, most people should know I prefer a guide with good content over good looks.[/quote]

[quote=Phil15]As long as your guide work as Duff guide used to work I see no problem whatsoever[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100]I've never managed to read Duff's guides, but I think it's more because of what he wrote & how he wrote it rather than what it looked like: [spoiler=example] Once I have [[Wriggle's Lantern]], the name of the game changes. I push every wave to the tower, and walk right at my opponent, even if I don't plan to E them, just to make them lose creeps and zone control while the tower works. I do this on every single wave. You might be thinking, "WTF? What if you get ganked? I thought top lane was supposed to AFK farm?" Well to you I say, it's probably a bit past your bed time. Sesame street will be on early in the morning and you need to rest cause tomorrow's a big day! NO SCARED BULLSPIT OK!? [/spoiler][/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]I would link a good old Master Yi guide, which is actually totally outdated put it doesn't matter. It is on leaguecraft. [url=http://leaguecraft.com/strategies/guide/7398]The Dark Arts of Master Yi[/url]. Yeah it doesn't look perfect like our guides, but back in its time it was a very good thing to read because it combined funny parts with very good informations. Also it is mostly wall of text, but, just read it and find out yourself.[/quote]
