Holy moly, really god guide here! Although the visuals and some stuff could get some work overall its pretty good, the way information is spread and put is very good and easy to read, it makes the guide very smooth to read. Also i like how indepth the build section is.
Overall it's a very good, congratulations on winning in the contest! totally deserved. :)

Hey there LILRIDGE! I'm Cat! A recent addition to Scouts and Reviewers team.
I noticed you requesting a review HERE so i'm here to give it to you!

Itemization Notes & CHEATSHEET

Taking a quick skim through most of the runes and itemization is extremely overwhelming. Me for instance being the type of player who doesn't play anything other than Teemo, simply wished to look elsewhere that is more condensed.

You have a section dedicated to items and itemization but that's all the way at the bottom of the guide, and I would as a reader much prefer to see it all at the top, not mentioned in the body text, unless what is being described in the body text is "Why, What use, etc" it has. You can simply type ((Thornmail)) and remove the headers you have for each item down there as it just takes up space and doesn't look great.

I would expect some information right out of the gates and more or less just one section of information for me to focus on at a time, rather than 3 full sets with more or less the same items.

Remove 2 of the 3 sets and focus everything you want to talk about in the one section. See the example below.

Open with all your possible starter items and situational first back things in no sub-sections, just raw "Item-Set" not "Set-Group" this will condense your full build and situational items into groups while leaving all important early game things in.

Starting off you have your (#) different starter items. "Default" "Anti-Poke" "Sustain" using the notes to put as little as possible in the viewers face condensing it into a pop-up rather than a ton of images of items.

The second section and following below it, would be referring to "What if" situations. Your optional boots, items for poked out really hard, and need that extra HP. Optional first back items with details in notes to give the reader a more informed understanding.

I would like to point out that the top of the page is basically a "Cheat-Sheet" for those readers who simply can't be bothered to read, especially when they are starting up a game and want information now, rather than scrolling it.

So I would highly recommend giving some basic information, even though you have a section dedicated to it, keep it blunt and simple, while leaving in the explanations in more detail about them in the guide.

Body Text Structure

Alright, so you have the basics down pretty well in some portions of your guide, but then there are clusters where there could be more effort put in, simply to tidy things up, and structure your information in a more neat and presentable way.

If someone is going to sit down and read a guide, they are more or less going to try to read most of it, while also looking for important parts so instead of highlighting everything, try to make it stand out from the crowd of text. If it is important, dedicate a section to that one topic so it's impossible to skip, this could be anything from imagery / bold text, headers, etc. You can do so much with great structure.

Your structure here for instance abruptly changes in consistency, and gets much neater and more presentable once you pass over Introduction / Pros & Cons. Example, and you can of course look around for other guides with an introduction page, try to be presentable. Your name, who you are, what the guide can do for the reader, and any additional things here and there that you feel suit this topic.

Followed by your pros and cons, which could use a little life to it. Another example would be HERE

You can utilize proper spacing for icons which will push over body text and images in some codes like columns and tables, if you're using ((column))((nextcol width=75)) throw in another ((nextcol width=100)) before the ((nextcol)) with the body text, so that you can push the body text over with void space making everything become lined up and neat, which is always great.

I understand what you're going for when it comes to this section, but again this is what the cheat-sheet is used for, or links to other websites which will take away length from the guide overall which is something that could help reduce unnecessary scrolling.

A rune section should more or less be about talking about runes in text and code more so than just a wall of images taking up a ton of space length wise multiple times, that's what the cheatsheet is for, try to condense it and make it nice and neat like other sections of the guide. Example

Example you can link images of the runes with a website that will display the images and then talk about it more there.

Another option is to simply put everything into a ((spoiler=RUNE NAME)) *Code and Text* ((spoiler)) code to hide it and give us the option to click and view it, which will automatically condense the information.

Once you get passed this part, you once again switch up the format and go from messy / unnecessary scrolling to a relatively nice, condensed small section for her abilities, try to do more of this. It keeps people tuned in if you show your content love and care in your formatting.

I would make the videos a bit smaller so your descriptions don't get cut up and squished into boxes, let it out a bit more by adding width=###] at the end of your embed.

Most people use the format for their champion being in the center in their pros and cons section, it feels weird to see it in the middle of a tips and tricks section.

You could definitely tidy this section up and make it more presentable, using previously mentioned methods to reduce colors and make things pop.

I use mostly the side-side, reverse side to side method which keeps each topic separated and in one section so people can't miss it. Example

CONSISTENCY

conclusion

This review took me about 2 hours to code and type up and read through to help you with your guide, but I do hope this information finds you and helps change your content up to be a much more professional and top guide.

If I missed something, my apologies, as again this was one of my more longer reviews and investment of my time to be as thorough as I could, but I hope the general things I spoke of help you fix the issues I noticed.

You lack proper execution in some sections with consistency. Work on these issues and in the future request a follow up, to see if anything has improved or if anything else is in need of change / reviewing, and I or someone else will be glad to assist further.

Can I have your personal opinion about the Ferromancy Interactions section? Because I feel it looks ugly and clunky and I want to make it easier for readers to read and understand. Otherwise you covered everything I was looking for insight on and I thank you.

While I created a spreadsheet on all the minor details about what can an can not ___ and ways to deal with it, when it comes to champion interactions I don't personally think it's much all that useful with it's own section and would much rather see it hidden in a spoiler under the effective skill in abilities, which would save up space and hide it from view for that extra bit of depth for those who really wanna know. I used to have something similar to what you have back in the day but opted to omit it from my guide as it was pretty bad looking overall and took up way to much space.

It's good to have but isn't all that important for most readers unless they are hardcore enthusiasts.

That also being said, you should think about re-organizing so the important stuff shows up first followed by the extra detailed sections talking about the finer details.

The only way to make it look less clunky and ugly is simply to use less words and less coding and to be as blunt as possible, or to remove it entirely and try for a new design, without going into really in-depth details. ___ ___ can and ___ ___ effects can't.
