Hey there,

You made an application in the guide review thread, so here it is (finally, I am a bit late on this one because I wanted to wait for you to finish/update the guide but that seems to take a while). This also means that I won't comment on the runes.

Cheatsheet and build

I advise to remove the set groups altogether (the larger boxes) and just keep the item sets. The names of the set groups are the same as the item set names so you basically waste a lot of space for by using that feature.
When do you go Doran's Ring as an alternative to Dark Seal?
Can you also add when to go Spirit Visage to the 4th, 5th and 6th item notes?
You made an example build, against what kind of team/teamcomp would you buy that?

Pros/Cons

In some of the points you expand on why a certain thing is a pro/con, You could just list the pros/cons (without the explanations) and expand on reasons why certain things are pros/cons in a paragraph below the lists.
I wouldn't call 'Player needs to know damage output to know when you can go in or not' a con... It basically says 'You need to play enough games on this champ'. Which would translate to 'Moderate skill floor' or something like that.

Combo’s

I’m a fan of combo sections so props to making one. You put in there that you’d update it with videos at some point (which certainly would make it better). I also like how you explained the usefulness of the AA+Q+E combo. It would be nice if you also mentioned when the Q+AA+Q and the Q+W combo are useful (especially the latter since you label it as situational).

Build

What about Doran's Ring vs Dark Seal? You just mention the mana passive going to waste, but what about the extra HP & AP you get from Dring? What about the extra on-hit damage passive? Are there any cases (such as hard matchups) where Dring could be more useful compared to dseal?
In the notes in the cheatsheet you stated that Liandry's Torment is a good buy vs tanks. You should say that here as well.
Moving on, the first item is Spellbinder. Is this something you would always run over the ‘traditional’ build (protobelt). If no, when do you go protobelt?

Presentation

The presentation is alright and does the job. The chapter ordering is a bit strange though, it might be a good idea to put the abilities tips & combo's chapters next to each other as their topics are quite close to each other.

A few recommendations:

About the author: Move the sentence below the header next to the image. Do the same for the op.gg links. It might also be a good idea to mask those (use [url=op.gg link]Account name[/url])
Build: The blood lord vlad splash is a bit… large. You can easily adjust this size by decreasing the width of the image and the column it is located in.).
Build: You can probably put the last paragraph next to the pentakill image (and it would fit).
Runes: Good, the green line is a bit random though. It would look better without.
Abilities tips: Maybe you could center/resize the image or decrease the width of the column.

The main thing you can improve about your guide is adding a section that describes the general ideas of gameplay. What do you want to do in the laning phase? (playing around emp Q, trading, your general goal, etc) and what you look to do in the game phases after? (sidelane, flank in tfs, etc).

I hope you are able to do something with the feedback, feel free to reply if you have any questions/remarks.
Anyways, good luck with updating & upgrading your guide and have a nice day!

Ok, being the big bot that I am, I didn't see the spoiler part of your reply when I made my first reply lol. After the detailed review of my guide, firstly thank you! I managed to fix up most of your points that you made, and I will keep trying to improve it in any way. I'm still working on the gifs for the combos and trying to learn how to do tables for better formatting (even tho my guide will never look as appealing and clean as yours). With school going on, I probably won't be making massive changes to this guide, even though I'm not satisfied with it in any way. In the future hopefully I have the knowledge and time to be able to format it in a way that maybe comes close to yours haha.
Anyways, thanks and have a great day, have a rep.

lmaoo the spoiler is pretty important yes! I will make it more visible in future reviews to spare other people the shock. (Seeing a single paragraph of feedback after applying for a review is kinda... disappointing, right?). Anyway, good luck with learning tables! If you ever get stuck or have questions about tables, feel free to send me a PM :)

Thanks, been a bit busy with school so updating the guide with better coding will take some time, but I'll make sure to add the lane phase and mid-late game section. Thanks again here's a rep
