Report
Heya, MobaFire :) I've been a little inactive lately in terms of community things, like commenting on guides and plaguing the forums other than Support. So I thought that I'd boost my activity levels, AND provide a genuine contribution to guide writers by actively scouting the free week champion guide.
So each rotation you will see a blog from me detailing which guide I have scouted for the free champions, and why. Hopefully this will help their guides gain some more views and show others what a scout may be looking for in a guide.
Welcome to Free Rotation - Scouting Time II!
CAITLYN

Author: Taneren

|
spa | Reason: Despite disagreeing with Net > Traps, all his choices are explained in the guide, and every viable item, run and mastery is discussed. The guide layout is aesthetically pleasing. The amount of information conveyed in this guide is truly amazing. Fantastic effort. |
FIZZ

Author: Rys Aberdeen
|
|
spa | Reason: I really dislike the humongous list of items in the cheat sheet, and the fact that the guide isn't Fresh is a worry. But the information within is really in-depth. The author waffles a little bit too much, but the language is engaging and easy to read. |
KASSADIN
- D:
Author: D:
|
|
spa | Reason: I have problems with all the current Kass guides. The top Kass guide is using the old MobaFire system of displaying, which means the author can't be bothered updating it. The second rated Kass guide has a Mejai's. The 3rd has the best build, but the guide itself isn't awesome enough. |
MALZAHAR

Author: Piksel4o
|
|
spa | Reason: I have problems with all the current Malz guides. The top Kass guide "Stale", which means it hasn't been updated in a long time. One Malz guide is so close to getting a scout point, they just have to work a little harder in terms of their information. The other Malz guide suggests AA, which I would never get on Malz :/ but explains so much other stuff that is correct that one wonders how it can be right if the build is wrong D: |
MASTER YI

- http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/master-yi-the-wuju-jungle-style-99823
Author: Zoki // Goffterdom
|
|
spa | Reason: Both guides are absolutely amazing. Read whichever one in whichever order and by the time you have finished both, you should know Master Yi inside and out. Fantastic guides. |
MISS FORTUNE

- http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/miss-fortune-shock-and-awe-in-depth-guide-124676
Author: MissMaw // MrNicholas
|
|
spa | Reason: Both guides are are pretty awesome. They are both aesthetically pleasing. The only problem I have with both guides is the lack of depth. I feel as if the guides don't contain enough information. Sometimes the coding looks a little raw too. Great guides though |
RAMMUS

- http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/jungledillo-updated-for-nautilus-151597
Author: Zyv0x // Crows
|
|
spa | Reason: Fantastic guides. Zyv0x's guide is absolutely perfect for learning Rammus. Crow's guide completely informs the reader how to jungle Rammus correctly. Both guides are great additions to MobaFire. |
SINGED

- http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/dyrus-inspired-jungle-singed-166205
Author: Keels // Xenasis
|
|
spa | Reason: Keels guide: Amazingly in-depth, detailing just about everything you could ever want to know. I noticed some coding seemed broken though and some images. Xen's guide: Awesome idea, of course. Just not sure about the last second Rylai's. As Singed, that slow poison is pretty important. |
TALON
- http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/time-with-talon-classic-talon-158182
Author: FlavoRTowN
|
|
spa | Reason: Great guide. Aesthetically pleasing, in-depth about itemization, rune and mastery choices, gameplay explained exquisitely. Fantastic guide. |
TARIC
- http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/taric-all-around-support-ap-jungle-ad-amp-tank-137637
- http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/taric-the-leagues-paladin-51184
Author: Taneren // Alaharic
|
|
spa | Reason: Both guides are so similar. Taneren takes it a bit further with detailing other builds, but Alaharic's is so much easier to read and easier on the eyes. I enjoyed both guides. |
Until next time, MobaFire. In the meantime, disagree/agree with my choices? State your opinion in the comment section below :)

His runes and masteries were initially different too, but I'm not accusing him of copying anything - he changed those because of suggestions in his comments.
I actually like his guide and our styles are very different, his is extremely long and in-depth whereas I was aiming for something shorter and to the point for people who wanted quick information. I 100% stand by my item build and summoners being superior though, not just from my own play but because it's identical to the standard AD carry build order in high Elo ranked play and tournaments.
I've been thinking it could use something of a rewrite, but so far I've been too lazy.
Your guide is great, which is why I +Scouted it a long time ago. Maybe you could add some more as you said, pretty pictures? ^^
Hit up the signature and art forum and ask some of the folks there for some nice images to supplement your guide. By all means, don't worry about it - but when you have competition and they're doing something you aren't, and they seem to be doing a little better, maybe it's a good idea to do a little copy pasta'ing yourself ^^
Ignore me. :P
Some people learn visually, and some learn through reading. I liked both guides, and yours already has a +Scout from me, so I chose to display the one that I hadn't +Scouted yet.

Searz doesn't have a Kass guide up.
Bggugs Rammus guide has expired.
Luther's Cait guide is just as good, but Taneren's has more information I found useful.
