I am not an expert in making banners, i'm only 16.I did what i could have done with the banners,they are not that bad.I was really trying not to say "u", might have skipped 1 or 2.Hecarim is a good laning partner, did you even try it?I prefer to use frozen mallet, but in the core items section there are both of those items listed there.
As for the coding, i did try a lot, it took me about 10 hours to make this build like it looks now.If the build doesn't look good, at least rate it for my hard work.

The title of the guide is not properly capitalized.
You recommend getting Vampiric Scepter waaaay too late in the game, giving you no sustain in the laning phase. You FINISH the build with a Frozen Mallet, an item that is best for chasing and locking down individual targets, not something you are going to be doing a ton of late-game. Also, you have no real defensive item like GA or Banshee's Veil.
Throughout the guide are numerous grammatical errors and flat out lazy writing. (Using "u" for "you"? Really??)

Your banner is a little strange, its the Varus splash art recolored green with hard to read text smacked on top of it.

You recommend Hecarim as a laning partner.

Lastly, as stated before, you clearly plaigarized content.

Your BBC coding and use of images is nice, but a TON of work is needed to make this a decent guide.

I'm still seeing blatant plagiarism in your guide. And in a previous comment you said you had never read jhoi's guide yet you have a image EXACTLY like the one in her guide? oh and let me show you the plagiarized lines shall I?

your guide:

"Early game

Start with Boots of Speed and mana potions.Suggested to go mid lane.If your team has an support, both of who will protect you and don't necessarily need creep kills because they will be earning their gold through assists.Go bot lane with a Doran's Blade if that is the case.If you are on the Blue Team, grab Double Golems with your support before going to lane. This will give you somewhat of a level advantage, and a little bit more gold.Once in the lane, you will want to last hit minions as much as possible, and if everything goes well (maybe you've even scored First Blood/a kill) you should have enough money for a B. F. Sword before the 15 minute mark (so you normally can afford Boots of Speed at the same time). The reasons for last-hitting is NOT JUST to guarantee the creep kill, but to ensure you lane as safely as possible - not pushing and leaving yourself susceptible to ganks."

jhoi's ashe's to ashes guide:

"If you are on the Blue Team, grab Double Golems with your support before going to lane. This will give you somewhat of a level advantage, and a little bit more gold. (VIDEO PENDING)

Once in the lane, you will want to last hit minions as much as possible, and if everything goes well (maybe you've even scored First Blood/a kill) you should have enough money for a B. F. Sword before the 15 minute mark (so you normally can afford Boots of Speed at the same time). The reasons for last-hitting is NOT JUST to guarantee the creep kill, but to ensure you lane as safely as possible - not pushing and leaving yourself susceptible to ganks."

exactly word for word and the picture is still jhoi's image, anyone with eyes can see that.

here's another one from your guide that's word for word:

"You've got Flash as an escape, so you shouldn't be dying too much. If they try to gank you (you have wards from your support and your teammates calling MIA, so ganks should fail 90% of the time), spam "F" to gtfo. Once you're at the tower, they'll be less inclined to try and kill you, unless they have tanky towerdivers, suiciders, or champions like Nautilus. Being in a duo lane (2v2) means you've got double the chance to escape and double the chance to die, so keep that in mind."

again jhoi's ashe's to ashes guide:

"You've got Flash as an escape, so you shouldn't be dying too much. If they try to gank you (you have Hawkshot, wards from your support and your teammates calling MIA, so ganks should fail 90% of the time), spam "F" to gtfo. Once you're at the tower, they'll be less inclined to try and kill you, unless they have tanky towerdivers, suiciders, or champions like Nautilus. Being in a duo lane (2v2) means you've got double the chance to escape and double the chance to die, so keep that in mind."

please change this asap or I'll report that, I mentioned it once, some fixes but still mostly the same. Now I'll mention it again and if no changes it will be reported. jhoi is a wonderful person in this community and I will NOT stand to see her hard work tarnished by someone looking for the "easy way" out of making a guide.

Note: if you are having troubles getting images for your guide make them yourself, it's easy. Just start a custom game and move into position then press the "prt sc" or "print screen" and it will make a copy of the image. Then go into photoshop/GIMP/paint and paste the image. Use the "cut" tool and save the image as a .jpg file then upload it to photobucket, etc. and put THAT image into your guide. It seriously takes 15mins and prevents stuff like this from happening. About the plagiarizing, it's ok to have your ideas from other sources, but it is not ok to copy word for word. They worked hard on their guides and it isn't right that you'd take their work. The fact that you lied to everyone here on your own guide shows how lazy and disrespectful you are.

PS. don't believe me? go to her guide http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/ashes-to-ashes-67331 and I'm sure you can find the section by yourself (it's the one with the image you used)


Just reminding you, THIS is why I reported the guide. You keep saying "fixed this" "fixed that" yet this wasn't fixed and it's word for word off of another guide.

It's been 5 days since I told you of your plagiarism and you still have yet to fix it. So like I said, I reported it to Mobafire.

Haha alektramp when are we going to fight :D ? Bro your guide isn't so good as you think. You have sooo much word mistakes even I saw a mistake in the title of one of your sections.A lot of copy/paste from other guides.And it is people's choice if your guide is GOOD or BAD you alone can only do the guide, the voting is for the people.
