This is a thread made for people who aren't sure if their build is optimal or if there are better rune choices - or if they just want someone else's opinion. You can also ask for help with coding and/or graphics here and I will ask someone on the Art forums to do something about it. There are also some general information about the guide making etc. and I might add some links to useful forum threads.


Later on, if this idea gets popular, I might add a section where you can apply. In that section there are people who are interested in helping people with the guide and it will be divided to sections like: Graphic Help, Theory Help, Code Help etc.


But you can just reply if you want me to answer the questions or send me a PM. If someone else answers your question before I do, I think that you should probably thank the helper and the best way is probably giving +Rep. This is optional but I recommend doing it.


If you'd like to be "requestable" help, you can easily apply by sending me a PM and telling me what kind of help you are offering.If you want to help you can just simply answer the unanswered questions or questions that aren't answered as well as you are able to


Any thoughts about this idea is also appreciated :3

My biggest problem with making guides is that I never have the will to finish them as i try to make them as detailed as possible.

Got a cure for that?

Well, when I started making my Teemo guide, I decided that I want to release it on my birthday and that motivated me to do it. When there was one or two days left I finished it and then I just added more details to it.

You basically say to yourself:
Every X I will work Y hours on my guide

For example:
Every 2 days I will work 3 hours on my guide.

My guide doesn't currently have that much on it (its a WIP) but it will soon be a full guide, and I want to get its classification changed so I don't get anymore problems. My main question is this: What makes a guide

Explanations and information with proof. Also, it has to be viable. I think it needs like, what, 9000 characters in it so it will be classified as a guide :p

The Toplane guide, yes. Teemu (aka Satan) guide, no.
