Hello SaltCat! I was notified that I had received a request! I can definitely be of assistance.

These are going to be the things that we are going to be looking through ideally with this review.

STRUCTURE: This is basically how you code, place and use code from a tidy and neat viewpoint.

CONSISTENCY: Basically how often you switch things up. Some parts might be a mess and others great.

INCLUDINGS: These are things that could be added like Runes, Items, Matchups or entire sections.

MY CONCERNS: Things that I find not really interesting to apply to a guide or just filler.

This section of ones guide should be both detailed and easy to read without being too overwhelming to the readers.

It starts off fine, but as you scroll down the item list, you have an unnecessary amount of "full" build options, this is really annoying to look at as it does overwhelm. You'd be much better simply adding a "Situational" items section, or at the very least showing the standard build for Irelia like, Blade of the Ruined King, Wit's End, Trinity Force or Immortal Shieldbow, Sterak's Gage and such followed by situational. Obviously not in that exact order, but definitely BOTRK as first pick.

Ravenous Hydra isn't really seen on Irelia these days as there are better items to choose from. You get enough from just BOTRK in terms of sustain and damage. Overall there are too many options to choose from in your item section.

While yes, she can do a lot of these things, she is mostly going to do very well with her standardized build.

Rune wise, I'd definitely remove Presence of Mind on the first rune as Triumph is overall the better choice overall.

Nothing really much to say about this section, standard information for each match-up achieved.

Alright... so... It's obvious you are still new to BBCODE as everything is copied pretty much from the BBCODE guide. You can definitely tidy up your guide to be more presentable most notable is your banner headers for each guide chapter.

The chapter banners are small, hard to read the text "And now I dance alone" which I read as "Find now I dance alone" while in general the dimensions are not the right size since it's a part of a very large transparent image which could be fixed by stretching or resizing it to fit the entire transparency. This makes it very hard to separate each section as a viewer.

Besides this, each section gets a bit more messy as you scroll down which if we compare the first two sections, the first one has a column bbcode display of Left to Right with the abilities in between where as the next section Pros and Cons has a Left to Right display with the abilities below Irelia without the border around her icon, which looks better than the first.
IMAGES AND BORDERS


You do use a ton of squished together code with these breakers, listed in the BBCODE guide, alternatively you can just use.



Code:
[rule] [rule2]
Otherwise, you can use proper spacing.

Just like this between each section of information.

It's an easier and tidier alternative.
Scrolling down to your Abilities explained there is definitely much to be desired from this section. It's got a good vibe to it, but it is destroyed by structure. Everything is way to squished together, as we stated previous, you should properly space your sections out so as to avoid this kind of problem.

You could also add in some visual references like default videos displaying each skill in action or you can make your own!

While also displaying each combo or ability tricks in their designated slots as opposed to listing them below everything. Basically a whole redesign of this section to be more condensed into each of their sections, includes the section below it.

It's just a lot of text and combos to have listed as a wall of text, something like a spoiler tag would be able to condense it all to look more neat and tidy while also being an optional thing for a reader to open and be less overwhelmed.

As you scroll down the guide, the texts and imagery are all different in places, really tightly packed together with no spaces and relatively small imagery which is difficult to really focus on.

You do a lot of different things from... LEFT -> RIGHT, LEFT -> DOWN -> RIGHT, BBCODE which is very inconsistent with the rest of the guide. By this I mean champion matchups are a simple LEFT -> RIGHT.

The next section below it, Early Game is a similar but different style Left -> Right alternating each side with Summoners or Icons. Which isn't really that great as you'd wanna focus on the image first to stay on track with the rest of the guide.

The biggest section I would suggest changing completely to once again stay consistent with the rest of the body text is your "Item Explanations" this does not fit with the rest, it's very bulky and squished due to 3 columns taking up so much space in a what is normally only 720 width body text. It's too much, and could be displayed in a much better and cleaner format.
Example
You can notice one big thing. I personally don't care for too much, but there are a ton of grammatical errors in this guide.
If you have fluent speaking friends who speak English, I would recommend for them to proof read the body text to help.

You have what it takes to make a solid guide, but lack in a lot of things like consistency and actually displaying your content to your reader. Take a read over this review and try your best to apply what I have suggested as it will help out in the end. ~Cat

Hey there,

Here’s the review you asked for in the thread!

code

I think you got a pretty good guide here, although you have to take a good look at the cheatsheet & sidebar TOC. Besides that there are some details, but those are not too difficult to handle I think. If you wish to expand on information I think you should critically look at Irelia's kit & mechanics. Considering her skill floor you can still expand on this.

I think this guide should be further up the list, so have a Scout+.

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 I wish you a happy new year!

  1. I'm basically saying that the explanations are poorly written. It's more or less a standard in writing that you shouldn't make your sentences as long as you did. You should look to rewrite those two paragraphs.

  2. Mostly aiming at the negative where you say she has no mobility and then continue to list an example, which in my opinion, should be done in the description next to the list.

  3. This one is pretty straightforward, I have 0 clue what you are trying to say with that particular sentence.

The Sidebar TOC is basically this thing that can be found on the right side of a guide:
