Item Guides
Do you plan on editing the recommended items per hero?

Also, this may be my simple lack of knowledge, but I have no idea how to make a Horde specific guide for my heroes. Any insight would be appreciated.

Not really... and unless we did something really vague (like giving all supports the same items and all physical carries the same items) it seems to me like a lot of work for very little benefit. We could be convinced otherwise, I suppose.

That would be handy, though is not necessary. You won't need a build guide to know that you only supposed to rush BF and HoT on melees, mjollnir/HoO and moon shard on ranges and death stone on all int heroes.

Even the vague guides would work well I think, because with them I think new players would be at least mildly competent at the mode. Almost every time someone hasn't played they sink the whole match and I don't usually have time to explain the whole itemization to them.

I so damn agree.

Like Siege and I say, it may not truly benefit good players, but even the most basic guide may benefit new players, even if there's only a melee and ranged guide.

They can add something like "extra tips during match load". Show one new random item, with short explanation on how and why use it.

That would be even simpler.

I don't mind doing them, it's just time really. I'll have a go this weekend if it's too time consuming I may have to wait awhile with it.
