This guide for Talon at a Master tier level is thorough and concise. Vapora focuses on what information you really need to know in order to succeed, even in the late game. The combination of concise information, clear strategies, and excellent presentation (with the help of MissMaw) makes this our best-in-show!

This guide covers Nidalee gameplay in several roles and is excellently presented. For how much information is present, the guide doesn't seem overly lengthy and the graphics and other display elements help to get the reader all the way through the guide.

This guide is pretty short and sweet, plus it's from a currently Diamond player so you can expect the build and strategies to be tested at a high level. Congratulations on winning the draw!

Vengenator effectively utilizes space along with a red-orange color scheme and flaming graphics to stamp the guide with Brand's personality. The guide's content is also pretty good on its own, so feel free to give it more than just a glance!

Khazem has been diligent about updating and upgrading his guide from the year before and he successfully defended his title as MOBAFire's best author for top lane guides. This Riven guide is as accurate, detailed and organized as you could want.

Aqua Dragon prides himself on wacky, off-the-wall picks and strategies that can work at an exceptionally high level. This guide for AD jungle Malzahar is absurdly detailed. Aqua Dragon is always sure to add enough detail to convince readers that the strangest-looking strategies really have some thought behind him.

LyteChai's runes, masteries and items enable you to quickly achieve 40% CDR for maximum ability usage and near-permanent [[Burnout]]. A well-thought-out guide that certainly made the list.

As usual, her presentation is clean, organized and enjoyable for the reader. The content of her guide covers everything you need to know about Katarina without dragging on and on. She even includes some clips from pro Katarina players to exemplify some of her advice. An all-around quality guide for Katarina in the mid lane.

His updated guide for Caitlyn brings the excellence we saw in 2014 into the new ADC meta. Luther has a keen eye to any change that affects the ADC role and it really shows in how accurate his guide remains, even though it was quite different a year ago. Detailed gameplay sections are broken up by related icons and screenshots, making the whole guide pleasantly readable.

We felt that it didn't quite have enough detail to qualify for the top support spot, but what information is there is definitely top-notch. Also Joxuu is a judge; he can't win!
