I'm currently working on a video section and I need some random people to test my guide in order to see if it works. I need to know if I go into more detail or if I leave it as is and add more along the way...

Much appreciated.

Overall you put in a lot of effort and included a lot of helpful information, which is good! I will give you some tips on bbcoding since that is what I am better at.

You could maybe use some larger icons or images to break up the text a little. Try using columns to organize your information to be a little more readable.

For instance you could make your pros / cons section look like this...

Pros:



+ Strong AD Presence
+ Heavy sustain
+ Good mobility
+ Reliable damage
+ True damage
+ Good pusher with his Ult if needed
+ AMAZING Carry if fed
+ Good for last hitting

Cons:



- Squishy early
- Relies heavily on teammate CC early
- Somewhat poor initiator
- No Mana =/= Death if you're caught
- Ult is lacking in damage
- Relies on farm without kills


Code:
[columns] [indent] [nextcol] [color=#00ff00][h2]Pros:[/h2][/color] + List of Pros [nextcol] [indent] [nextcol] [color=#ff0000][h2]Cons:[/h2][/color] - List of Cons [/columns]


You could put a large icon beside the text for the skill you are talking about to make it easier to find the information. It's less of a wall of text and easier for people to find the text related to the ability.

eat minions
Now, I get Eat Minions first, for obvious jungle reasons. This should be quite plain. This is what you want to level before anything else for the sustain and the mini-HOTG it offers. This is also your Mid-Fight Go To if you're unsure you'll win.

You level this second seeing as it helps sustain a hell of a lot more than a regular 30% at each level damage reduction as opposed to movement speed, health, and a kill stack for attack speed if you know what I mean.

Side Note: Whenever you are in lane, eat Archer Minions for your ult. They are a ranged attacker, meaning they have to chase very little to be very effective.

Code:
[columns] [icon=eat minions size=50] [nextcol] [indent] [nextcol] text goes here [/columns]


Basically, breaking up the information and having the text not be all the same size will make it easier to read. Changing placement of text makes reading it less mundane.

Some of the colors seem unnecessary and kinda hurt my eyes though it's not bad.

Much apprecaited, I wish I knew more about BBCode, but being the ******ed fella I am, I know that I won't get very far by myself. I want to know if there's a good linebreaking image I could use or another way to set up columns, I'll definitely use it for the pro's/con's section as well as a more detailed lane partnership guide. I could also use it for the lane sides as well.

Thanks in advance, broski.

Most people make their own linebreak images. However, there is also the [rule] tag which will produce a horizontal line, like so:

Ooh, I like that, so what specifically would the coding itself be?

Also could you show me some easy ways to understand BBC? @.@

Well the point of me leaving the code is so you can copy / paste the code but you could also quote.

Here's a couple BBCode / Guide making help things for MOBAFire. The BBCoding and tips are completely applicable to this site:

You might want to update the screenshot of your stats in the introduction with wins. Makes people not want to read on if you show 2 losses and 1 win. You did well on kills on the 2nd and 3rd game though :)

Here's my Bakasura stats :D

God: Bakasura
Matches: 2
Wins: 1
Losses: 1
Win%: 50%
Gold: 21322/Game
Kills: 23.00/Game
Deaths: 3.50/Game
Assists: 7.50/Game

Only played with him twice but think I did well, dat KD ratio lol
