Noobs make guides even when not knowing wtf they're doing because they're ******ed..
/Thread

I don't want anyone with below 400 matches experience to make a guide. There's a 99% chance that the build will suck..

"I also am Otherkin. Whenever autumn rolls around I can feel my kin-type slowly taking over my body. You must know, I identify as pumpkin. I can control it pretty good most of the time, but when September ends, I just cant hold it in anymore. Whenever Im outside I see my brothers and sisters being chopped into soup, coffee, donuts, cake, drinks, bread - ppl even cut human faces into their skin, making a mockery out of their noble appearance. When I see things like that I cant control my pumpkin urges anymore. My natural instincts kick in. I then sit down motionless, while getting bright orange." - Morgana L

@Searz I have less than 400 matches, and I still personally believe that my Galio guide is good.

I would probably be considered a noob. 1 ranked win, 2 ranked losses (I saved the videos of the losses in LOLReplay because of the hilariously bad people).

I made my guide because it's fun, and because I am a person who enjoys testing and data-collecting. I like to share my opinion, that's why I'm on this forum in the first place.

Speaking of that, this weekend, I'm going to try out tons of custom strange builds (strange as in Tank Corki, although I'm not testing that, that's just ******ed lol).


I make sigs, PM me if you want one :D (Thanks for the Nidalee sig, The_Nameless_Bard!)

I made my first guide. I called it Zealean. I have 500 wins. People still down voted it. How I shot good guides?


Honestly, I don't care if you're a noob or not, the best way to get better at making guides is by making guides. Feedback will show you what you're doing right and what you're doing wrong. Even making a ****ty guide has the potential to show you what you need to improve on as well as trying new things that people suggest. In fact, it's the best way for a noob to become a pro imo, because it shows them the flaws in their build which will ultimately make them into a soon to be pro (if they choose to take the feedback, both negative and positive, receptively). Think of if as a pile of metal getting smelted. It starts out dull and shapeless, but by the constant pounding and flaming it goes through, it eventually turns into the sword that stabbed the man who has been beating at it so much. :V


tl;dr- OP is a ***. :V

I'm getting alot of responses in this thread that make me wonder if this site is in-fact targeting casual LoL players. I thought it was completely the other way around. :/

Pretty sure Warmog's before anything Olaf doesn't make you anywhere near pro.

It's a good way for them to become open to new OR better ideas.
Although, often, they could get attacked with stupidity-accusations.


noobs can make guides, i just wont read them.

Casual player here! Though personally I would say guides are only bad if people don't know the champion that well, or the concept. For example if your level 15 and your really really good with say....Singed. Why wouldn't you make a guide about singed trying to teach others.

^This is true, and what was once an attempt to share. Becomes a lesson to the creator.

Side Note: We need to find someone to use Xaioli's builds and stab him in the heart with it.
