[quote=IceCreamy][quote=tehAsian] [url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/luxurious-lasergaming-113843]IceCreamy's Lux Guide[/url] [spoiler] [b]Cheat Sheet[/b] Good. Exactly how I would build [[lux]] tbh :p I prefer DFG earlier though. [b]Skills[/b] [[illumination]] [quote]Her passive is [[Illumination]]. It is fairly useful throughout the game, in early game it will help you farm/harass, and in mid-late game you will find it will also proc on ult hit.[/quote] Actually, a lot of people say [[lux]]'s passive falls off hard late game solely due to the fact that it has no scaling. Not sure about this. [[light binding]] Small nitpick: [quote]That way, you can throw your snare at a minion, if you want to hit the champion behind.[/quote] Should be under tips and tricks. [[prismatic barrier]] You can throw it in the direction you're running so the second portion of the shield comes back to you faster. [[lucent singularity]] Slows people in an area and zones people :o [[finales funkeln]] Grants vision too >:l Baron/Dragon steal! [b]Items[/b] IMO always get at least 1 [[doran's ring]]. (Under GP5) Should have a disclaimer that you should buy it before 15 minutes in. [[abyssal scepter]] Why is the aura useless o_o (because of your range) [b]Lane Matchups[/b] [[brand]] [quote]Use [[Prismatic Barrier]] to counter his passive! [/quote] It doesn't counter his passive, I suggest wording it to 'absorb the damage from his passive'. [[cassiopeia]] I thought she was a sustained DPS mage, not a burst caster? [b]Positioning in Teamfights[/b] Also should position so that W hits as many allies as possible. I don't see a laning or gameplay section? And imo you should also tell people how to use [[lucent singularity]] to zone in one of those sections. A lot of your explanations seem a bit short as well, but just about everything I'd need to know to play [[lux]] on a basic level is there, so +1 when I get back home. [/spoiler] [/quote] Thanks, updated my guide accordingly :) Laning/gameplay section is basically included with the match up list, I guess. +rep for the review![/quote]

[quote=tehAsian][url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/ad-ezreal-winning-your-bot-lane-232633]DoomedHalo2's Ezreal Guide[/url] [spoiler] [b]Cheat Sheet[/b] No [[doran's blade]] before [[sheen]]? Also, [[phage]] > [[sheen]] > [[zeal]] > [[trinity force]], having the ability to chase in the lanes you are winning outweighs extra poke by FAR. [[the bloodthirster]] > [[phantom dancer]] is usually better than [[infinity edge]] > [[phantom dancer]] because of [[ezreal]]'s amazing AD Scaling on Q and R. IE > PD should be if you're behind. Not really a fan of AS Glyphs, but w/e. Maxing W waaaaay better than Q even after the buffs. Extra burst and AS reduction to multiple enemies outweights poke and CDR from Q. [[havoc]] over [[vampirism]]? [b]Pros and Cons[/b] What about Ezreal being extremely mobile? [b]Skills[/b] [[rising spell force]] [quote]However, when shooting your Trueshot Barrage, your passive's stacks are automatically maxed.[/quote] Not if you completely whiff it >_> [[mystic shot]] [quote]Having a low CD and mana cost makes this an ideal spammable skill throughout the game. [[Mystic Shot]] deals a lot of damage, and applies on hit effects such as lifesteal, taking out almost 2 bars of health at the start of the game.[/quote] Few things, [[mystic shot]] does like 200 damage late game, which is pitiful, and it doesn't do almost 200 damage early game, it does more like 80 at maximum. [[essence flux]] [quote]Wow, everytime their is an patch for ezreal, they always end up nerfing this skill.... Anyway, [[Essence Flux]] is for when your building AP.[/quote] Or it's for when you want to outdps the other carry. [quote] IMHO though, I find it somewhat useless as it does almost no damage when building AD.[/quote] Except the base damage (which matters a lot in early game) is higher than most of every other AoE skill in the game, except skills like [[howling gale]] at full charge or [[flamespitter]]. [[trueshot barrage]] [quote]make sure there are no minions in the way before shooting it. [/quote] So you NEVER shoot it if minions are in the way? [b]Summoner Spells[/b] [[exhaust]] [quote]It reduces their attack damage by 70% and their movement speed by 40%. I'll put this on their ADC before I start my combo.[/quote] Not attack damage, their basic attack damage is reduced by 70% and spell damage is reduced by 35%. [[ghost]] Also ignores unit collision. [[clairvoyance]] and [[clarity]]? Are you serious? If you included those, might as well include [[smite]] for jungling, which is actually a legitimate fun option. [b]Items[/b] Never start [[doran's blade]] please. [[last whisper]] [quote]This item goes really well with [[Madred's Bloodrazor]]. [/quote] alskjhflkj don't buy Bloodrazor please. [[guardian angel]] [quote]I know I might get some hate for having this item, but GA is a very useful. [/quote] Wat. Hate from what? [[maw of malmortius]] [quote]This is a MUST HAVE for any magic heavy team you are facing.[/quote] Why get this over a [[guardian angel]], [[last whisper]], [[phantom dancer]], etc against a magic heavy team? There isn't a reason for it, imo. Also, your tone here makes it sound less situational and more core. Don't buy [[madred's bloodrazor]]. There are infinitely better items. [spoiler] Take an average 3000 health tank. Most of them will have ~150 MR at the bare minimum, but we'll keep it there for arguments sake. That's a 60% reduction, and you have zero mpen. 60% of 4% is 2.4% of their maximum health in damage, which is about 72 damage each hit. Now take the cost of the item, 3800. With that, you could buy an [[infinity edge]], giving 80 AD, and also has crit multipliers. Taking the same 150 Armor at the bare minumum, you have a 60% reduction BUT! You also have a [[last whisper]] as a core item in an ADC's build! With [[weapon expertise]], [[sunder]], and Armor Pen runes! That's a 129 (after flat) - 40% = 78 armor after penetration, about a 44% reduction. 80 - 44% = 45 damage [b]before[/b] multipliers. That 45 damage crits about 1/4 of the time, for 250% damage, so on average you would deal about 160% increased damage. 160% of 45 is 72. But what's this? [[ezreal]] has a base damage of 100! That means he will hit for an additional 56*1.6 = 89 damage, for a grand total of 161 damage. This would be multiplied even FURTHER if you bought BT, PD, etc, while the Bloodrazor damage would remain constant because you buy (or CAN'T buy) ANY amplifiers to it. Now let's take it on a squishy with 2000 health and 50 MR. The proc will hit for (I'm going to do the rest of the math in my head) around 45 damage. A [[b. f. sword]] already does that much, and costs about HALF as much. See where I'm getting this? Bloodrazor is a bad item because it doesn't scale or amplify at [b]all[/b]. [/spoiler] [b]Late Game[/b] [quote]Focus the damage dealers![/quote] You aren't [[irelia]], [[darius]], or [[rengar]]. You are a squishy carry, you focus what's in front of you. Overall, there are a lot of things in the guide I disagree with. Also, the guide is a bit short and doesn't cover absolutely everything, but just close to the bare minimum (as an [[ezreal]] player, I know you missed a lot of stuff). No vote. [/spoiler][/quote]

Bot lane doesn't only consist of champions who push, champions who don't, champions who play aggressively, and champions who play passively. I think you could go a bit more in-depth about different situations, such as against different lane types (poke, sustain, kill). [b]Core Items[/b] [[oracle's elixir]] is core if you ask me. (Boots) [[boots of mobility]]? [[ninja tabi]] Should be 3/5, 1 champion can be a tank, 1 can be APC, and 3 can use auto-attacks. [[locket of the iron solari]] Or, in my knowledge you should buy it if your main tank has [[randuin's omen]]. You shouldn't really be running into RO active range, you should be beside your carry protecting him/her. [[banshee's veil]] Too luxury and expensive to buy imho. [[will of the ancients]] A lot of AP Carries don't benefit from this as much as others :p I guess you should add that it benefits the APCs that actually use spell vamp effectively, like [[cassiopeia]], [[vladimir]], etc. [b]Partners[/b] [[ashe]] Aggressive laner, not passive. [[twitch]] Must be the squishiest bot lane ever. This section a bit short, get dat information asap :3 [b]VS other Supports[/b] [[janna]] Can be extremely aggressive and dangerous. A good [[janna]] will use spare time to harass you with her free BF Sword, and there's not much you can do about it. She'll also set up lots of kills with her strong CC.
