My Shield Is Here For You

Sorry for the long wait, I've been really busy for a while now, but here it is! I have to say that I'm not a player and therefore I cannot give the most in-depth analysis.

Presentation

Art

Looks great, really! I like the Imgur addition. Although in the abilities-chapter, it feels repititive. The first image covers all abilities already. Feel free to leave it as it is.

The only gaps I can think of is in the final two chapters where you could add a side-image, and in the introduction: an introductory banner.

Coding

Codingwise you did a fine job, not much I can help you with here. The only thing I can think of is in your summoner spells chapter. They're not vertically aligned at the top. is standing higher than the two other abilities. Prevent this by using tables with "vertical-align=top" or just put some transparent text underneath and .
Same applies for your runes chapter if you want to go full-pro (align icons with the headers).
Everything else looks great.

Cheat Sheet

No remarks here, looks fine!

By the book, good job.

Information

Introduction

As a support main, you can brag about the amount of games which gave you the experience to write this guide.

Pros / Cons

"Wind-wall mechanic" - I would change this into "Can block abilities", as it does not work exactly like .

Abilities

: Something about mana-management should be included in the tips section

I don't know how I feel about not maxing first though. I think it should be maxed first if you're in a winning lane to ensure your lane dominance. If you're losing, it's only natural to go on the defensive.

does not absosb true damage.

only shields in case of AOE abilities like , your allies will take damage.

Ability sequence: I would advice to make a custom ability sequence, the current one is kind of hard to comprehend immediately. Could make one for you if you want.

Spells

Any ideal situations where you would prefer over ?

Warding

"NOTE: I personally did these photographs, they do not interfere with any copyright infringement, however use without permission may result in punishment. this should either be underneath your photo album, or removed. You use a League of Legends © picture as well, so for consistency's sake you should mention it. But as nobody does it anyway I wouldn't mention it. Not much you can do about it anyway if someone uses them without permission, unless they're registered :p

Laning Phase

About your ADC and farming. You should help him under turret. Hit some of the minions to ensure your adc can lasthit them. You could elaborate on the matter a bit, explain it in-depth.

Ganking

In about the jungler: After a successful bottomlane gank, you should immediately go for the turret if you're not heavily dominating the lane, and get Dragon afterwards. Get the most out of the situation. When healthy enough you can even go and rotate midlane to take/damage that turret as well.

Team fights

A bit short-sighted on top lane role. Yes it is possible to have a tank there, but you could also have a , or . So they won't always engage; they will try to catch someone, go in after your initiator or peel for the carry.

(I PREFER A SLIDESHOW BTW)

Language

Your English is fine. Some minor spelling errors and your wording is sometimes a bit off. Prime examples:
"...he needs some more surviv/disengage-/engage-ability." -> needs a whole new wording
& "Because of offensive not giving much else other than" -> Because the offensive (mastery) tree does not provide much more than...

Careful about "you're". Sometimes you use "your" instead.
I.e.: "Playing as Braum means your most likely playing support"

Possesion: "it's own definition" -> "its". "It's" is short for "it is".

Look for things like this. It might be nitpicky but it will improve reading overall.

Item Choices

Items are good.

My remarks:

"Use Spoils of War only on large minions/if you or your ADC need health." Why?
"Wait for level two before you use your potion:" You should use it when falling under a comfortable amount of health. If you get surprised at level one, you should use it. If you can manage a long time with Spoils of War, don't use it.
First buy Stealth Ward: I find this quite the gamble. Most junglers start with the help of bottom lane nowadays. This means they'll work their way up and gank either mid or top before backing. If the enemy sees you only have one Health Potion in your inventory, they'll most likely exploit the knowledge.
Do you ever buy mana potions? He's quite the mana-eater early on.
Mikael's Blessing should be situational if your ADC is struggling a bit too hard against all of the enemy's CC.
What about Frozen Heart?

Masteries

No complaints. You could opt for but you chose regeneration, as you build a lot of health that's a good idea.

Just glad that you took .

Runes

I'm not a fan of scaling runes, so I don't support the scaling glyphs of MR. Most damage in laning phase is mostly magic damage by the way. Think about those Annie's, Vel'Koz's, Morgana's and even Thresh's. Those are the initial damage dealers, the adc will mostly focus on farming. To have the upper hand early on I focus on early game-runes, as that's the most crucial point in the game.
Greater Quintessence of Armor should be considered as well btw. You buy Mobility Boots anyway and again, you're better off with that solid armor early on. Three of those is almost a free Cloth Armor, making it a top tier-rune.

Grade:

9/10

Good job!

What can I say, it's a really good guide, no gaps anywhere, good use of spoilers and really in-depth explanations. You can elaborate on some things and improve language, but that's about it. Most things I pointed out are small things and some extra's.
Well done, definitely deserved my upvote. I would like to see more of your stuff in the future.

I do advice using C2V (comment to vote) to prevent trollvoters who're jealous and want their guide to be higher on the list.
