Just when you think you've read through the whole guide, BAM! You get hit with the matchups section and realize you're only halfway through. Is it a coincidence that this double-whammy of a guide happens to be for a champion with a passive that gives them a second health bar? Probably, but I'm making that joke anyway. Anivia is a pretty unique mage with a lot of individual quirks to learn and master. In this guide you'll find all the standard information you'd expect, from rune options to build order and tips for every ability. The matchups information present in both the cheatsheet and the dedicated matchups chapter will give you a leg up on your lane opponents, especially during Anivia's toughest portion of the game: pre-6. If you want to know how to survive or even crush your lane in those early levels before you can start hardcore waveclearing, definitely check out this guide.

There's plenty of general Jhin information on his typical builds, plus a huge matchups section with a ton of detail on all sorts of champions you're likely to come up against in the bot lane. Emiru also takes time to go over a lot of support synergies in order to help you work better with your lane partners in every game, which is a great asset for any bot laner. Jhin has some nice combo potential with [[Deadly Flourish]], so be sure to read up on your support and pay attention to which abilities you should be looking to set up with your W, or which abilities your support can use to set you up for an easy snipe. Apart from the stellar matchups and synergies sections, Emiru also includes some useful advice for mid-game habits that can help any ADC player keep up in farm, get caught out less frequently, and show up where they're needed most. Macro is an aspect of the game that many players struggle to master, so having this information available is a boon to those looking to improve their consistency out of laning phase.

Seeing this guide evolve over time really demonstrates how much work the author has put into it, even more than it might seem on the surface. With enchanter supports on the rise and [[Nami]] holding one of the top spots on the win rate charts this patch, now's the perfect time to put Jovy's hard work to use. Just about anything you'd want to know about Nami or the support role is covered in this guide. As such, it's difficult to pick just one section to highlight here. Apart from the great visuals, I'd have to go with the Gameplay section, particularly the Wave Management, Communication and Laning Phase chapters. The latter includes a few staple Nami combos for those players still learning her mechanics, while the other two chapters cover some useful tips for teamwork and macro play that takes more than just muscle memory to master.
