[9.13] Play Like The Pros - In-Depth Fizz Guide S9 by @ Vapora Dark

Vapora Dark has a lot of solid guides, but his guide goes beyond even his high standards. It's clear that Vapora has put a lot of time and effort into both learning Fizz' nuances and writing this beast of a guide. Jovy's graphics and visual style also make the guide look super clean and easy to parse whether you're doing a thorough read through or quickly skimming for a particular chapter you're interested in.

One of my favorite chapters in this guide is the detailed and organized combos section, which demonstrates and explains 7 staple combos for Fizz players, along with a handy chart to keep track of the total mana you'll need to pull each of them off. There's also a lot of varied information on the early laning phase, which is probably the toughest part of Fizz's gameplay to master. Definitely check out this guide if you're looking to brush up on your Fizz mechanics.

Break Their Ranks - Jungle Hecarim [9.13] by @ Maintained

Maintained is a dedicated jungler and player and his experience comes through in this guide's wide array of build options, example clips and detailed gameplay info. There are a ton of gifs throughout the guide demonstrating all sorts of useful concepts for a Hecarim player that often apply to other junglers as well. If you're a jungle main, you're likely to learn a thing or two from this guide even if you never touch Hecarim specifically.

Maintained does a good job of covering all the basic elements of a quality guide, but I think my personal favorite aspect is how a lot of his pathing, ganking and other jungle-related tips are simultaneously specific to Hecarim but can still be generalized as good advice to many other jungle champions. For the ganking chapter specifically, he has a great breakdown of a useful thought process to determine whether a lane is gankable or not, which is applicable both to Hecarim's specific skillset as well as many junglers with similar gank patterns.

[9.13] Ye Olde Pantheon Top by @ Swuft

Swuft's guide is a project that's been developing and improving for years. It's clear how much work was put into this guide, from the sheer breadth and depth of information as well as the unique aesthetic and custom graphics that set his guide apart even from other great guides on the site.

I'd like to take a moment to point out his excellent warding section with useful warding maps that show an estimate of what each ward spot can see and the different paths in and out of the jungle. This chapter is immediately followed by a close look at Pantheon's crucial early levels to help you get in the mindset you'll need to crush your lane opponents and snowball the game. Since Pantheon is an excellent lane bully, this section is definitely a must-read to make the most of the champion.

If you liked any of these guides, be sure to give the authors a vote and comment with your thoughts! See you again next week. :)
