Xeno's Review and Matchup Shop

[quote=Xenotechie]And, now the Eve guide. C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!! [spoiler] Ok, I don't really like this guide. Here's why: [list] [*] Those double lines are a part of JhoiJhoi's template you erase. Speaking of that, you messed up the summoner spell section. [*] Are the two AP points really worth the extra attack speed and armor shredding with [[Exhaust]]? Speaking of masteries, why not take, say, [[Indomitable]]? Explain your choices and explain them well. [*] You got a total of 7 marks, when you can take 9. Speaking of runes, consider adding alternative options. [*] Ok, people WILL buy [[Vision Wards]] against Eve if they have some common sense. It's not if will they buy them, it's where will they find you. You also forget to metion that [[Oracle's Elixir]] is completely useless against this type of invisibility. [*] You really need more info on [[Dark Frenzy]]. Using or not using this is often the difference between getting locked down and murdered and killing someone. [*] [[Trinity Force]] + [[Hextech Gunblade]] is quite expensive for a jungler, even for Eve. Consider adding an "the game is not going well" set of items. Also, your items section has a quite big problem: you have a tank build, and yet you don't explain that build. This is my second biggest problem. [*] Your grammatical errors are mostly typos, to be honest. Just copy the guide into Word or something, turn on the spellchecker and fix accordingly. [*] "Make sure when you are with your team you're invisible, because that way the enemy team also doesn't know you're with them." If the enemy is smart enough, they WILL know you are hanging around your teammates somewhere if they can't see you. This is not very reliable. [*] You can definitely work quite a bit on your gameplay info. If just plain feels lacking. Take a look at the other Eve guides on the internet and try to find some ideas. This is probably my main problem. [/list] No vote for now. This will change if you can disprove my problems with your guide or fix them. If you feel like you have improved, feel free to submit a re-review request. [/spoiler][/quote]

[quote=Xenotechie]Time to get to reviewing! First off, the [[Talon]] build. [spoiler] Okay, it's just a build, eh? Ok, I can work with that, but I have FAR higher standards for those. And, quite frankly, your build is not explained well enough, and, well, the build itself is not too good either. Let me put it this way: your own reasoning contradicts taking [[Trinity Force]]. [[Talon]] has no AP scaling whatsoever, has an in-built slow, and you said you don't need the attack speed. That leaves you with 30AD, a bit better [[Sheen]], crit chance, some HP and MP, and a bit of movement speed, and quite frankly, you could get [[The Bloodthirster]] and have far better damage that getting that proc. The guy in the top ranked guide calculated it. You also don't have enough options. You don't even mention, say [[Quicksilver Sash]], or stacking BTs. Your item explanations could also use some work. If you will focus on the build, you might want to back it up with numbers. The build definitely needs some work. Also, if this is "not a guide", then why do you have the skill explanations? I also noticed that your build from the cheat sheet is an almost exact copy of [url=http://www.solomid.net/guides.php?g=21068]this[/url]. You are getting the benefit of a doubt for now, so you get don't get a vote. For now. If you can disprove my arguments or improve, feel free to ask for a re-review. [/spoiler][/quote]

[quote=Xenotechie]And the [[Fiora]] guide. [spoiler] Let's get this out of the way right now: You have a good guide here. All of the stuff I am about to list is fairly minor. [list] [*] "No escape mechanism" Eh, not really. Lunge can be easily used to escape via minions or wards, as you point out yourself. You want to always have an escape route planned via these two if you believe you are in danger. [*] Your mastery explanations feel really weird. You might want to work on them. Speaking of that, you can modify your masteries in the champion select, so you can take [[Veteran's Scars]] and appropriate resistances. [*] Why not take, say, ArP marks? Give some rune options. [*] Boots first are also really good against skillshots, like [[Kennen]]'s shuriken or [[Infected Cleaver]]s. Also, seen a few [[Fiora]]s run IE effectively, might want to include it as an option. [*] [[Garen]] is not that easy as you make him out to be at all. It is quite easy to force a [[Riposte]] as [[Garen]] with [[Decisive Strike]], only to last hit a minion with it. [[Garen]] only has the thing on cooldown after that, and you lose some significant mana. Also, a lot of them started building damage thanks to the popularity of spin to crit, and, well, you can't just stay there, especially thanks to the new [[Courage]]. He can also force short fights, in order to negate [[Duelist]], then let his minions take a chunk of your health down if you choose to engage after the fight. [/list] Otherwise, this a really nice guide. [/spoiler][/quote]

[quote=Xenotechie]And a really nice support guide now: [spoiler] Okay, time to start up my usual list: [list] [*] [[Clairvoyance]] and [[Exhaust]]/[[Flash]]? Why not CV/Ex and [[Flash]] like most supports do it? [*] Aggressive is not really the right word for ArP marks. It's great for a poke heavy game, but true aggression is [[Taric]] and [[Tristana]] jumping on your carry at level 2. Well, kill lanes in general, really. [*] Might want a "don't use this item" section. Seen one too many [[Sona]]s run Mejai's, among other things. [*] You shouldn't always die to save a carry. If your ultimate will enable a kill on a target with a bounty bigger than your carry's , or 2 or more kills, don't. Also don't sacrifice yourself if your carry just plain sucks. [*] In pubs, I found that you should see all of your enemies at the start of the game with your CV if you drop it very slightly in front of their fountain at the 10 second mark. A good time marker is when you get your own items. [*] You definitely need to teach / remind people that they should not get [[Aegis of the Legion]] or [[Zeke's Herald]]... or any aura item, for that matter, if your tank or jungler is taking it. [/list] All in all, this is a quite competent build guide. I see matchups and gameplay info is coming, so no major complaints there. Have a green banner with some words on it. [/spoiler][/quote]
