[/quote] [Spoiler]The guide is really nice with a lot of informations and well coded. However i'd like to point out one thing or two. Get rid of [[Honor Guard]] it scales really poor late game and its useless early on. [[Enlightenment]] is much better. The lore is also quite unnecessary. i also dont agree with your ganging combo. I usually toss a sappling and snare them on place so they get the full dmg and then use Arcane Smash. Sapling is also out of CD at the end of the combo and i can use it again if needed. That may be just me though. Apart from these I really liked your guide. I really like the ganking part. I think its the first time I see something so detailed about it. I happened to play a ranked mao as a jugler yesterday and I did really good using a build like yours. Note that im a support player. you have my +1![/Spoiler][/quote]

[quote=Apathy]Sujing's [url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/maokai-jungling-with-the-tree-186254]Maokai Guide[/url]: [spoiler]Great detail. I can see all the effort that went into this guide. I have very little to point out, so here goes: - You swapped around the stun and slow of Irelia's [[Equilibrium Strike]] in your description. - For Vayne, [[Condemn]] is a knockback, sometimes a stun, not a stun and sometimes a knockback as you write in the red text on top. - I like how you put all the CC at the top of your description, I suggest putting in escapes as well. - Maxing [[Sapling Toss]] first is really good for your ganks. One of the reasons why Maokai is such a devastating ganker is the burst damage he brings, not just his CC, so you might want to get points here instead of increasing your slow by a little. By the way, Sapling Toss has one of the highest damage in a single non-ultimate spell. - Consider putting Warmog's Armor in your cheat sheet. Yes you put it in the items section but its too much of a better choice the Aegis as that doesn't scale well into late game. As a jungler you don't get much cash and can't afford to buy items fo selling later. - Consider [[Greater Quintessence of Strength]] as an alternative rune, due to Maokai's highest-in-game attack speed. Nothing else to say. Well done again I guess.[/spoiler][/quote]

[spoiler] I really, really, really like this guide. I like the fact that you have a bit of a sense of humor, I like the fact that it is actually quite informative, and I generally don't have anything to complain about, so you won't get the long list of complaints I usually do in my own review shop. Two things: get some extra item options, and get some matchups going, and you should be set. You get a green banner and a favourite and a +rep from me. [/spoiler][/quote]

[Spoiler] So here I go... Is it a new trend to picture only the absolute core items on the cheat sheet? If it is, ME GUSTA! I kinda disagree with the rune setup.. To be more exact with the marks... I feel there are better choices like [[Greater Mark of Intellect]] or [[Greater Mark of Fortitude]]. You should also enlist more alternatives runes as mana regen ones or Ap per level maybe. Add some more coding in the Pros/Cons section. About the Masteries: With [[Greed]] you gain about 360 gold in 20 minutes not 30. This comes about to 720 gold in a 40 minutes match. This means 10 more [color=#00ff00][[sight ward]]s[/color] for the team throughout the game. You may want to point that out. I also feel that the 1 point in [[Scout]] is rentered useless. Better put it in [[Awareness]]. I would also give only 2 points in [[Swiftness]] and add the other 2 and 1 more from [[Greed]] to maximize [[Awareness]]. Btw with 3 points on [[Greed]] you get 7 [color=#00ff00][[sight ward]]s[/color] instead of 10 throughout the game. I would also want to see a match up list for carries and for enemy supports as well. Apart from these (I hope I didn't become some terrible bastard in your eyes.) your guide is really good and informative. You definetely get my [color=#00ff00]+1[/color].[/spoiler][/quote]

[b]Pros and Cons[/b] I'm pretty sure [[janna]] is incredibly difficult to learn AND master :/ [b]When to use Janna[/b] Not every AD Carry [b]synergizes[/b] with [[janna]]. Synergizing = Best lane partner, and then you go and state she isn't the best with every AD Carry. [[janna]] isn't unique in that her abilities can be used both offensively and defensively, so can [[leona]], and so can [[taric]]. The proper term for "counters any champion that relies on a dash to jump-start their combo." is 'anti-initiation', as in [[janna]] is very strong at anti-initiation. Also, [[janna]] doesn't counter [[malphite]], [[unstoppable force]] makes him un-CC-able. The only thing you would stop is probably his [[ground slam]]. [b]Supporting[/b] [quote]Probably because there is only one opening to the river (less susceptible to ganks), and it's close to Dragon, the neutral monster that is usually secured during laning.[/quote] Mid lane is the hardest lane to gank, and it has two openings. Bot lane is easier because gankers can come in from the [b]lane brush[/b] or loop around through the [b]tri-brush[/b]. And why do you say 'probably'? >.> Last nitpick here: not during laning phase, during [b]mid game[/b]. [quote]This means no basic attacking, no last-hitting, no spell spamming, etc.[/quote] So you don't harass? Shield + auto-attacks hurt man. [b]Abilites[/b] [quote]Always always always get Eye Of The Storm first. I don't care if you're planning a five man raid.[/quote] [[howling gale]] takes priority if you are invading. @[[tailwind]] Y U NO STRESS HOW OP IT IS?!?!? @[[eye of the storm]] I can't use it on turrets? D: @[[monsoon]] [quote]DO NOT [[Flash]] into the 5 enemies and hit the R key to try to disperse them. NEVER INITIATE WITH THIS OH GOD.[/quote] Actually, sometimes you should. [quote]However, sometimes it's much better to end it early so you don't kill yourself.[/quote] How does it [b]kill[/b] you? >_> [b]Situational Items[/b] [quote][[Zeke's Herald]]: Buy this if your team has at least 2 champions who will benefit from attack speed and lifesteal.[/quote] Of if your carry is fed enough to buy a [[trinity force]] instead of [[infinity edge]]/[[the bloodthirster]] first. [quote]If both of the above statements do not apply, buy [[Locket of the Iron Solari]].[/quote] I'm sure you can buy two, especially since sometimes you won't get [[aegis of the legion]]. [b]Warding[/b] What about every bush in this picture(opposite side too)? [img]http://i42.tinypic.com/op37zk.png[/img] Vision of people going to Baron/Dragon is important. That's all I got :P[/spoiler][/quote]

[quote=Minho]^ dang... huge review o.o[/quote]

[quote=TotHeMax][quote=KSS Awake] I will put [url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/skarner-the-trinity-tank-beast-235676]my Skarner guide[/url] here and I will be reviewing guides as soon as possible. [/quote] [Spoiler] Alright your guide seems nice and it works in game, but I have a question. When you say building AP won't benefeit you as much, did you think about RoA or Rylais? They both give a decent chunk of HP and a nice bit of AP. Just a thought. Otherwise its a good guide. The visuals are appealing, there is a lot of information ( maybe too much, ) I would add your summoner showcase to the introduction, its a chapter that doesn't need to be there imo. I do have 1 Beef to pick with you. In your enemy junglers section. You put [[nunu]] at a low rank of everythink hes good at. Just read my guide if you want proof =P One last thing, Skarner is susceptible to early game invades. So are most junglers. Thats why you get mid and the side lanes to guard you. You can easily end up getting some free kills/assists since mid does damage, Your Q slows if it hits twice, and top has some survivability and damage. Bot has the carry and support. TL:DR Good build: think about using RoA+rylais if you think building AP is bad, Nunu is better than what you put, early game invades on skarner are typically a good thing when I play him.[/spoiler] So Heres my guide [url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/jungle-nunu-watch-for-dem-ganks-244418]Nunu[/url] Also ignore the second build for now. It's a WIP.[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]If you aren't knowledgeable about a champion, it is good enough to go to someone's guide, read it and learn. Then think about whether you would use that build if you had to play that particular champion. Think about what you'd need to know, and address that in your review: "Hi, I'm reviewing your guide from the Mobaverse Library Thread. Whilst I don't play Gangplank, I thought your build was pretty standard. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to grab a Rabadon's Deathcap, as GP seems to be more of a tanky DPS sort of champion. Additionally, you forgot to mention what his ultimate does. Finally, I was confused which lane Gangplank is meant to be played on, because you mentioned that he could go anywhere. Does that mean he'd actually be good mid lane on Summoner's Rift? I won't vote for now, but those are my thoughts." OR "Hi, I saw your request for a review at the Mobaverse Library. I'm not knowledgeable about Skarner, but I gave your guide a read. I really like how you explained the build and rune choices. Everything seemed to link together well, and if a Skarner free week comes along, I'll be sure to follow your guide. Thanks for all the hard work! +1." Most people who write guides find that comments stop. If you want someone to review your guide, just do it back in return. No one is going to be annoyed at your if you don't know that champion - comment on other things. Spelling mistakes? Mention it. Coding errors? Point them out. +rep to everyone who has reviewed on the last 5 pages.[/quote]
