Outworld Destroyer Intro
Response to your comment on my attempt at writing an intro:
 * Bad syntax: I can see I messed up in a few areas there, but errors are bound to happen when you're planning to write huge sums of text in one sitting. I barely took any breaks in writing this area and the items and tips section. The quick summary of his skills (He and his allies enjoy more-or-less unlimited mana because of his aura, he can protect himself or an ally, or disable [...]) is bad syntax itself. Didn't you notice that? I rewrote it primarily because of that.
 * Less informative: my plan was to flesh out his skill set right away. I wanted to move the fact about his item dependency down to the tips and items section. What I've forgotten is that it's better to mention this earlier. A mistake on my part, but I don't regret it.
 * Fallacious in several cases: Just how many cases, exactly? I can only see one area where I'm fallacious: the end sentence. This might not always be the case, but I was adding some intensity and drama to it. If you think about it, Harbinger will outshine his opponents if his Int is tons higher than theirs; firstly, he'll get a bigger mana pool, making his Arcane Orb more lethal. Secondly, his ult will always work and will always deplete their mana. I may be wrong about Arcane Orb being his main source of damage, but think about it. Sanity's Eclipse has a long cooldown, requires lots of mana to cast, and is ineffective against high Int heroes. Arcane Orb ignores all of that, and lets itself be auto-cast. And it's Pure damage. I don't see anything wrong with my Astral Imprisonment sentence. Essence Aura can indeed act as a passive support skill, because it's 1.) passive and 2.) you're helping your teammates regain their mana (in other words, supporting). I was, again, trying to add intensity to his ultimate's quick description.

What I'm trying to do is write a detailed intro, in a very short amount of time. I was more focused on writing his items and tips section because it was so disorganized. And when I see disorganization, I try to correct every single case of it. Hence, I forced myself to correct the intro a hurry.

Is it my mistake that I'm trying to do too much? You tell me. But, instead of indirectly correcting me, give me some advice, or at least help me out. Reach out to me. Use my blank talk page.

I also just find it weird that you're reverting to an older edit (with some added details) that takes out page links. You should've at least kept the links, instead of completely reverting it. I probably wouldn't even write this if you'd done that.

Whatever concerns you have, lemme know. I'll try to resolve them with you. I don't want to be your enemy. Beefcorporation 08:13, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

RE:concerning the OD intro
Clearly, you've just proven to me that you're certain with what you wrote. I came here, thinking that I'll continue to stand more correct than you, but it looks like I'm not qualified for that. What I did was try to protect something I tirelessly worked on, only to have it change in a snap. It irks me, but I've just forgotten being corrected.

You can probably see that I don't always go into solid detail, something you seemed to be better at doing. I'll be honest with you; I've only played Outworld Destroyer a few times, and in games where I didn't need to play seriously. I basically just don't have a complete grasp of him like other heroes I play. I went ahead anyway to complete his item and tips section, and fix other minor stuff. I like a clean-looking page, y'know.

And no, I completely agree with you on the only Intelligence Hard Carry part. It's just that I didn't know a better way of putting it. We can say the same for Silencer, but he's technically supporting in the early half of the game...

It seemed that I've worded it poorly, but I still think I've done a good job on it. You tend to believe that if you're face front in the monitor, writing text for hours on end without standing up, not giving your brain some air. I know the intro could be much better in that I can lengthen it more, and so this is what we got. I was hoping to change every aspect, except the lore and skills section, and so what we got was a half-assed intro, from me.

I jumped the wagon too fast on this. You're clearly an intelligent guy, with grammar much more sophisticated than mine. I don't want you to think I'm one of those users who will never forgive anyone over the internet. I've forgotten that I can be wrong, and being proven by a smart person makes this easier to accept.

PS: I'll try to insert the changes I deem necessary, without changing it too much. Expect to see it in the future. Again, I accept that I'm wrong in many instances, and that your intro is stronger than mine's. Hope to see you in future edits. Beefcorporation 01:46, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
