Interview Featured Guide of October

Posted: Sat Oct 31, 2009 5:54 pm

The interview with rjay01 by vins

1. How do you feel of being the winner of GotM?

It's a great feeling to know that I have achieved something from writing this guide. Especially because it was my first guide. From winning this competition, it has motivated me to make more!

2. Was it difficult to write the guide? Justify your answer.

Surprisingly, it wasn't. If you're making a guide about a hero that you love to play, then I don't see how it is hard to write a guide, because you basically know everything there is to know about that hero. All you gotta do now is put all that information from your head to that little strategy maker and wallah! (Taking screen-shots and making videos were such a pain in the ass though.. Laughing

)

3. Will you edit or remake the guide if needed?

Definitely. Anything outdated or missed out should definitely be added in straight away. Nothing worse than reading an outdated guide.

4. Why did you write the guide?

Dotastrategy.com made me a better DotA player when I first started playing. After getting better at the game, I stopped reading guides and relied on my own knowledge to play the game. After a couple of years playing DotA, i thought about dotastrategy.com again and decided to see how it was progressing. When I saw the Tinker guides, I was in shock! Tinker is my favourite hero and those guides didn't show how strong Tinker really is. So that's why I decided to make the guide.

5. Do you have any plans to make another guide?

I'm making one now as we interview. Wink

6. Did you ever thought to stop writing?

Nope. Only time will tell when I decide to stop.

7. How long did it take you to write the guide?

About two weeks. Theory part didn't take long at all. But taking screen-shots and making videos was what made writing the guide time consuming.

8. Where did you take your information from?

Competitive replays, Other guides, Experience.

9. Did you really believe in yourself when making the guide?

Lol good question. Of course I did. I don't really care how I will be portrayed after the guide gets published. I only care about the guide readers learning from what I made. Because that's what counts.

10. If you have a boy or girlfriend, how does he/she thinks about you making the guide instead of going somewhere with him/her?

She will get angry! lol. But she is definitely a higher priority than the guide that's for sure. I will always spend my time for her.

11. If you pick the good and bad points from your guide, what would they be?

Bad points:
* There is some "interesting" grammar in the guide (thanks bobbob247 for pointing that out) Guilty

* GIFS move too slow
* Excess material even when I say there will be NONE Very Happy

* A few things not mentioned and things that are outdated

Good points:
* Easy to read (summarised and no walls of text)
* Bold text for the important things

12. I remember you saying
