I am going to archive my 3 guides. I am sick and tired of them being downvoted without reason. I will archive them when I come back from my family vaca. from Greece.

I've warned you. You knew that people weren't nice, yet you blindly waltz into Moba, thinking that if you put work out there, people will care.
Some might, some just want to piss you off. Get over it.
What to do?
Write guides if you feel they are necessary/you bring a new relevant point/you are updating info on a champ with stale guides. The worse that can happen is no one reading. The best is people getting info, thinking about it, trying it out (or not). The numbers raising and falling are just numbers, you're getting an idea across, you're not fighting a beauty contest., your e-***** won't grow due to another +vote.
As long as you get that person saying "like it, will try it out", it was already worth it.
At first it pissed me off, because I had put about 30hrs of writing, editing and correcting in it, but lately I just accepted that it is "just a guide on the internet" and even if 10 people down-vote you for giggles, if only a few people read your guide anyway and it is a good one- then it is ok, as long as it helped them.
The guide rating system is not perfect and in times where internet anonymity makes people behave more and more like douches it is important to understand that it's not priority to write a guide as a contest for score, but more as a manifest of thoughts to a topic to help others.
If your guides are really good, then they will manage to pass the troll-vote test.
And if not, achieve them, wait for the troll parade to be over and than update them and re- release them.
Just don't take the troll votes to heart, then those douches just get what they want. Laugh about them, because usually down-votes compensate a lack of trust in their own guide or are just proof that they might have had serious head concussions in their childhood ;)
