From what I see about comments on other sites about us, we're mostly known for incorrect builds rather than entirely incorrect information.

I first came to MobaFire for it's guides, then I joined the forums. I have easily learned more about how to play game or a certain Champion from the forums then I ever have from a guide.

I became a better player due to the forums not the guides.

I did however flip though the Annie Guide and the info is does give is decent, but only for players who would already know how to play the support role with other champions. Overall I'm not thrilled with the pro guides but I'm not mad with them either. I would rather learn from pros though an AMA, interview, blog or Stream. Because those would be so much easier to update or make then keeping a guide current and up to date

To be fair C9 probably have more important things to do than write 4 in depth guides per team member.
Although that just shows how badly thought through this was.

Basically MOBAFire.

sadly it's not the first time

see CLG, Marn, Pulse, random high ranking solo queue players, Velocity (LOL), etc. They've never really put any effort into the guides and seemingly none of the mobafire higher-ups can figure that out

if my job consisted of me playing a game for 12 hours a day i dont think id spend 4-8 hours the same day writing a guide about a champion, theyre just too busy to write an in-depth guide

and before anyone says "dah derr unstead of writtinge 20 short gudies they shuld writ 5 indeep guides! same time!!!" im about 99% sure its faster to get 20 builds done with core items/match-ups/masteries/runes than have 5 builds with every single possible item choice with 10 "when to/when not to"s/every single match-up for every champion just in case someone in bronze 3 decides top lane malzahar is what he wanted to play in ranked today/every single rune you could use and a detailed description on why you get AS quints on an ADC over AP quints/details on every single mastery point you use because whenever someone says "go 21/9/0" on an adc you need to be told in detail youre getting the AD masteries

Hell, we even had the old Azubu Frost and Blaze write guides for us, and those were surprisingly decent.

My point with the reputating thingy is that Mobafire guides are supposed to be noob-friendly and extensive (contrary to sites like solomid, lolking where all the guides are relatively short and basic).

Also, it's not like I didn't expect this. I DID completely expect it but that's why I'm saying Mobafire should've just said no.

I'm fairly certain mobafire went to C9 asking them to write guides, not the other way around.
