IT means my mind was blissfully free of those accursed cute-chogath images you plagued my thread with.
And now it's back.

BRB mental break down.

So, After running around eating people alive as birdman until I got a God complex, I have come back to the realms of man, looking around for the taste of humanity that we all live for, the love, care, and...

what?

Who am I kidding.

I get poked out of retirement by someone who shall not be named in this post since it is irrelevant.

But the guide I'm about to review, Made me go "Eh? what?" A hell of a lot.

So, Let's go through the good bits:

It's more or less grammatically correct and isn't a pain to read.
CArdinal sin 1 averted.

...

That's where it ends.

I generally don't like these "When to take, and when not to take" sections in guides, because most of the time they're pointless, and at others... are just wrong.

SO, let#s start from the top.
Ladies and mentlegen.
Please give a warm, raptuous welcome to an old friend of ours:

The ******** train.
Yes I mad.

Cardinal sin 2: Writing ~@"£$!



Slow due to anchor weighing him down
... You're kidding, right?

tenacity makes the King of CC resistant to his own power and makes him less slow
What? WHAT?

Rod of AgesBut it falls off late game

Are you F-ing kidding me? One of the most cost-efficient items in the game, and you want to tell me it falls off. Do item's even f-ing fall off in general? No. Don't answer that. At this point i am literally the following:

Staggering Blow This is Nautilus's passive. It's simialr to Udyr's Bear Stance.

Repeat after me. Stun =/= snare.
One doesn't allow target to do ANYTHING
Other allows target to do everything besides move.
BIG difference.

you can Dredge Line an opponent and not follow up with an auto attack

... What?

Support Nautilus : Crowd control that doesn't require mana.

WHAT?

Teleport: It would be interesting to try a gank from a placed ward but it's mainly used to get to lane faster.

WHAT?!?!?!?/11??!


I don't have time to go through every PoS there is in this guide. Suffice to say, it's EVERYWHERE.



Cardinal sin 3: Writing opinion.



In the parts where you try to show experience, all it seems to show is a lack of an ability to explain yourself.

Let's look at the example of ganking:
Its a nice image.
But it's wrong.
TL:DR L2 lane gank.


In other examples:

NEVER FOCUS THE TANK.


...
Let's start with "Why?"
Because you don't explain it.

Why? Because that's the piece of advice/an order given to every low-elo scrub there is on this freaking planet. If your Vayne is fed as hell and their carries aren't yet you still think its the right idea to go after the carries instead of peeling, then you are simply bad .

This concept seems to be beyond you purely because such an important aspect of team fighting (I.e, peeling) is completely missing from this guide. It's missing from many guides. Because most guides seem to be OMGADCARRYSOTASTYMUSTEATFACE.



ANd lastly, the most flagrant violation of this cardinal sin of guide writing that I HAVE EVER ******** SEEN:

Nami She isn't too tough to beat at all.
Sona she can harass you in lane a bit but she isn't too tough to beat.
Zyra she can be scary post six with her ult and snare.


MAKE IT STOPPPpp...

No, seriously. The entire section on support nautilus is a HUGE pile of opinion. Because there is NO explanation of counter play, or even synergistic play. It's statements, counter balanced with statements, with a cheery topic of ******** STATEMENTS.

Cardinal sin 4: Contradicting yourself.


Randuin's omen: This item has become a major core piece while I play nautilus

THerefore, buy it as 5th item. If it's core, get it quick. If it's not core, then don't call it core.
It's like saying OMG IM A AD CARRY QUICK MY CORE IS IE,BT,LW,PDPDPD.

The rest.



RUnes and masteries



You sort of justify what you take, which is ok...
But then You skip out on a pretty common pick for junglers.

I.e:

Move speed quints
AS/AD marks

etc.
WHy?

In masteries, you state what you would take, and why.
But not what you wouldn't take, and why.

And then you go and give "viable alternatives" - but not when or why you would take these.


Let's hop onto other problems:

Build inflexibility



YOu have a whole wreath of different builds that you suggest you can use.
You explain the item choices you make, more or less.
You then give 0 advice as why you buy what you buy or when you buy it. Just "Buy this for X reason.". And F-me, some of those reasons are bad.

Here's one: Would you really get Abyssal Mask if you had a full AD team?
If yes - Why? There's no mage on your team.
IF no - Why? You haven't stated anything to this effect.




I could go on.
But I won't.

TLDR:
Some nice parts - like, Other useful information regarding abilities, are genuinely good.
But it suffers from a chronic lack of explanations.
Followed by a huge helping of WTF

TLDR:

It's "£~@&$!
EAsily rectified,

But whether you're going to or not isn't my concern nor problem.

THIS IS WHAT YOU DUG ME OUT OF RETIREMENT FOR BIONICARM.
THIS IS YOUR FAULLLTTTttt

Nope.
That guy had actually messaged me earlier on in the year, but i never got back to him.
Seems a bit rude if I didn't review his guide since he actually had the gall to ask me for one by PM as well.

Don't worry.

You're next.

ouch well there is a lot of good criticism in there. But somethings you say confuse me as it has some acronyms or something of the sort I do not understand. IE: TL:DR L2 lane gank. I have more than the gall to ask for a guide review and laziness isn't in my way of life. I will comeback with these changes made and ask for a re-evaluation. Thank you for taking time and coming out of retirement for my own sake. I did quite enjoy the picture of BS train.
