PST[/size][/color][/center] It's that time of year again! We're back with a new guide contest for the 2017 season! All you have to do to enter is create or update a quality Champion or General guide and keep it updated throughout the coming month! For your guide to be eligible for the contest all you have to do is have the build and guide contest fully updated for the 2017 season, fulfill the [url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/forum/mobafire-support/quot-ive-published-a-guide-but-its-not-showing-in-the-search-results-help-quot-18070]requirements[/url] to be considered a full guide and reach a certain score threshold. This applies to older guides that have been updated, or completely new guides. If you fake your updates, do not fully update your guide content, break guide [url=http://www.mobafire.com/rules]rules[/url] or cheat in any way your guide will be disqualified at our discretion. The top-rated and random draw categories should be pretty straightforward. The other categories will be judged by diamond (or above) players, with the best guide in each category winning a prize. We want to see all kinds of great guides to help prepare readers for the new season. There are many ways to win these great prizes, so write a guide for what you're best at! Please set the role your guide is intended for in the "Guide Settings" on the right sidebar so we can more easily browse through them. Guides can only win one category.

[quote=Elusive Ferret]Ooo, contest is earlier this year. I take it that's because of the Season also starting earlier this time?[/quote]

[quote=Jovy]Oh god I was going to write a new guide for the contest and now I'm under pressure Psi[/quote]

[quote=PsiGuard][quote=Elusive Ferret]Ooo, contest is earlier this year. I take it that's because of the Season also starting earlier this time?[/quote] Yep, wanted to get the announcement out during preseason to encourage people to write or update guides. The end of the contest is shortly before the new ranked season, so it'll be nice to have a lot more quality guides out there for when people start ranking in S7.

[quote=Elusive Ferret][quote=Lugignaf][h1][b]MAOKAI GUIDE INTENSIFIES[/b][/h1][/quote] Speaking of the Tree, how is he in Season 7? I have yet to get a chance to play him since I'm only playing Ahri/Irelia atm.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf][quote=Elusive Ferret][quote=Lugignaf][h1][b]MAOKAI GUIDE INTENSIFIES[/b][/h1][/quote] Speaking of the Tree, how is he in Season 7? I have yet to get a chance to play him since I'm only playing Ahri/Irelia atm.[/quote] He's kinda alright. The Krug camp is super good for him now since he just clears with really fast with all the AoE and super weak Krugs, more raptors for more gold and xp is nice too. You just kinda stay away from Blue side jungle unless you need the buff there and you get real good things. You can smite any camp now so your health is overall higher, and you can lane-smite for combat heals too. The ~35% max HP shield is way good. It doesn't even make me miss SotA. And [[Greenfather's gift]] helps the jungle clear too. It's not like he's gonna be a top pick any time soon, but he's definitely better than he was.[/quote]
