Erratic Skilling Order/Masteries/Runes

[quote=Jebus McAzn]Why do people do it? You go to a build on a champion and you see something like: Q-W-E-W-Q-R E-W-Q-W-R Q-E-W-E-R Q-W And you're like "What the fuck. How am I supposed to remember that in-game." Do they think it makes the guide look smarter? More high-level? Because it doesn't. I'd go so far to say that of 95% of the champions in this game, you can't really go wrong with maxing one skill, then another, then the last one. The only time there's usually something complicated to know is pre-level 6, especially with junglers - but even that's self-explanatory. I don't understand (especially with the new Brand builds) why everyone's skilling order is batshit out of place. You get your first three skills by level 3. You max something first, then something else, then something else. Brand is NOT one of the few champions where you get more damage/usefulness by skilling everything evenly. Few champions are. Not only is the max-max-max skilling order more effective, it's usually more practical and MUCH easier to remember. On a few champions you may level 2 skills evenly. Cho'Gath is one such champ I can think of - but these erratic skill orders (ESPECIALLY JANNA, OH MY GOD) are starting to get on my nerves. This goes for runes and masteries too. I see a guide with 4 attack speed marks, 3 armor penetration, and 2 attack damage, and I think "What the hell are you doing?" Masteries: 12/14/8. When you do unorthodox things with your runes or masteries, it's with a purpose in mind. Maybe meet a CDR cap, or get to a certain amount of armor penetration, or optimize masteries for jungling, or make sure you deal X damage to X target at level 1 and beyond. TL;DR - Variety in your skilling order/masteries/runes without a clear purpose behind it does not make your guide look smart or high-level. It's often sub-optimal and in addition makes the guide harder to read.[/quote]

[quote=B-Wong]Agreed with the TL;DR.[/quote]

[quote=mobrebel]Ummm... Yea.... Please stop them.... from doing it.... NOW!!![/quote]

[quote=caucheka]pre level 6 the specific order matters more, but usually after 6 i just say something like R>Q>E>W[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]Just look at them or type " [color=yellow]*stare*[/color] " then say: No... Just no. No, You bad... No. Bad baddie is bad.[/quote]

[quote=Alahric]Yeah, I guess they want to be original (awww...) it's just a phase. I have to say I agree, it's "special" but still a poor choice considering the complications.[/quote]

[quote=DEWO]I always try to make it simple. and tell ppl what to focus 1st and last I try to use images to do so instead of doing that wierd RQERQRQWRQWERQWRQWRQWEQ system. I use it when i want to write something fast and ez or when it is considered "well known" Like jebus said in most situations you will just focus on maxing ONE of the skills 1st than another than another maxing Ulti when possible. Simple as that but if som1 wants to write RQWEQWERQWREQWEQWREREQWEQWEQWREW his choice... his "style". I dont see any harm in it as long as he says it clearly![/quote]
