am I the only one who thinks a guide means something to make players better?

sure you could make a top quality guide for tank veigar, but that doesn't mean that player is going to become better at the game playing veigar as a tank

No, but some people may have success with a tank Veigar and enjoy playing him that way.
Just because it doesn't work for YOU doesn't mean it doesn't work for somebody else. It's all playstyle, and as such you shouldn't downvote (IMO) a guide just because you don't play that particular character that way.

Like I said, I've seen a tank TF help carry the team to victory. He built tank because as a TF player, he always got focused first. So if they're gonna focus TF first, why not make it to where the rest of the team can do their job while TF lives? Makes sense, really.

Some champion types need to fill a niche. Since you constantly need to adapt to the game, building a certain way may be necessary. If your guide sets out to fill a niche with a certain champion, and accomplishes that goal, then it's +1 worthy.

This is an excellent point. Imagine if you're a new player, and you want a guide on Veigar. Then, imagine my tank Veigar guide is the highest rated JUST because it is the best written one, and it has been +1'd to the top only because of that.

At the same time, if you're going to downvote tank Veigar, maybe you should downvote an AP Yi guide, too, just because it isn't as viable as AD Yi?

I was just thinking all of this over, and was curious for the community's opinion.

And Hybrid is better than both >.>

No... AD Yi is way superior to AP Yi..

AP is far superior early and mid game. If you're rushing the end a game before the 30 minute mark, AP is the way to go.

AD with the correct items and masteries will always be superior. Ask anyone with a lot of experience.

ad is better

ap is good for like, 10 minutes, then gets outshined by AD in terms of overall damage output

as for downvoting ap yi because you downvoted tank veigar: there's a difference between normal veigar and tank veigar, ad yi and ap yi.

that difference is tank veigar doesn't do anything better normal veigar already does

^ This.

When Yi gets 2-3 phantom dancers itself he will wreck everyone and everything.
AP Yi is horrible considering you can only deal a spike with your alpha and survive against some random no CC with your meditate..

AD > AP 100%
