@Poisonshark: Even if it may be your duty to let Slashingstrike know of his faults, I felt the need to do so in your place. I apologize if I had taken your spotlight. But to point out, I do not believe he lacks the effort in his, but more of the dedication to offer concepts that offer enough explanation. That lack of thoughtfulness is what I've been criticizing about Slashingstrike.

@Slashingstrike: The following is my take on your replies to PS's inquiry.

In regards to formatting, I will say, to a given extent, I understand where you come from, but those reasons draw on the fine line of personal opinion more than proper style. Some people will be bothered by the break in the scaling, that they look like this:
 * 100 / 200 / 300
 * / 400 / 500

But that does not mean it applies to everyone. This feels justified in the fact that it is squared in a ability box, not a long word doc. Not to also note, it is clear where to it breaks; if the break was much more erratic, I would align with your thoughts more.

As for the "title," while colour-coding it clarifies its properties ( vs ), but a bold title works better, especially if there are multiple stats that will be noted. Just because you see a lot of for, does not mean it's clear of what the  does. Who knows, someone may become confused by the, thinking it would have an , when it doesn't. When looking at the details at a glance, this is very likely to happen. And if the scaling stat has no colour-image code?

I believe that PS had misplaced where he should criticize. It is true that free stats bring nothing complex to the game, but it's the simple act of making a lackluster transformation that is backed up by stat boosts that is not pleasant. I do not believe though that PS was seeing Nerante as an Assassin but more of a than a.

"Readable, understandable and simple." I am glad that you are thinking in this way, but please, at the current moment, I do not believe your idea of "understandable" and "simple" are making your works fly. As you have noticed, many people on the first off criticize your writing. If you need help proofreading, ask someone (such as myself or other content creators) to proofread your pages before you release them. If you have someone offline who can do the same, ask them. By posting them with English of the quality you release, people will sadly be offput by your works, regardless of how much thought you may have put into it.

And what happens if the damage scaling from 30% to 60% is nonlinear? What happens if it increases by 2% per 1% missing health, stopping at 50% missing health? There are if's, and it's best to leave those answered on the spot with the description. You may believe your style is more readable, but have you ever thought of using actual champion ability descriptions as a template?

Just because other actual abilities are boring does not excuse an ability in your kit to be boring. A better excuse would have been "this is how it is in DMC," as the former is parallel to the typical "X is bad because Y is bad too" two-wrongs-make-a-right fallacy. When creating a kit, people look to something innovating, and one part of a kit should not be boring under such a lousy reasoning.

Better to say, that's a gap-closer/escape that should not exist. As I explained below, you purposely make it out that the abilities' purpose it to create these large dashes when they have damaging aspects. Other dashes have the same ideology behind it, but for Nerante, I feel that this kind of play with abilities shouldn't be implented, unless I'm causing a deep misunderstanding.

My biggest critique is the transition from DMC to LoL: Where are the explanations of the idea placed into this transition? You expect every single reader to have played the game? Please don't! Unless the character you derive the custom champion from has little connection to the custom champion, at least explain the thoughts placed into constructing together the champion. Or at the least, link a video that could demonstrate what abilities came to mind. I asked this of Lesdin for his too, so you are not the only culprit of this.
