Anyone new to the League can be quickly overwhelmed by the sheer number of champions and builds. This guide wants to help to introduce new players and to facilitate their learning. Apart from that, this guide wants to help the community discover guide gaps and to help makeing MobaFire a more profound and thourough source of information.



For every champion you will find important links [1]-[2]-[3], a summary of different build ideas [4]-[5]-[6] as well as the corresponding links to MobaFire guides [7]-[8]-[9] and short descriptions or annotations [10]. A link to a pro streamer is sometimes included, too [11]. Here you see as an example the champion Ahri:



Ahri is... Here you will find some text that summarizes in one or two sentences what he is all about. This allows new players to get a quick introduction.

• - Mid [4] - APC [5] - dominant [6] --- E.g.: [7] - [8] LaCorpse - [9] 96%
  A beautiful and extensive Guide. Very helpfull. [10] Guardsman Bob sometimes plays Ahri. [11]

Rather than showing only the one top rated guide, I try to give a pervasive list of all possible builds. Dominant builds are the most successfull and approved by the community. Viable builds may trade weaknesses in some areas for even greater strenghts than the dominant builds, but perform slightly worse overall; they are still good in general and deserve to be mentioned. Troll builds are brought up in order to explain why some builds perform very bad and will only be mentioned when they are repeatedly posted and discussed. This is in order to help new players avoid the mistake of useing them. They should not be used in serious games and can get you banned.

• - Mid - APC - dominant ---- - E.g.: - LaCorpse - 96%
  A beautiful and extensive Guide. Very helpfull.
• - Bot - ADC - viable ---- ---- - E.g.: - Ensomere - 58%
  For advanced players. Possible due to her snare and mobility. Scaling Issues.

• - Mid - APC - dominant ---- - E.g.: - F3ar0ner - 91%
  All-round Akali guide. Can also be played Top.

• - Bot - Support - dominant ---- -- E.g.: Zeke's Herald - SeppiMontana - 58%
  Decent support guide. Bilingual, but that shouldn't bother anyone, the content is fine.
• - Jungle - OffTank - borderline - E.g.: - || Catalyst || - 91%
  Unfortunately nerfed to the ground and the guide is outdated, too. Could become viable again, though.
• - CS - OffTank - dominant ---- --- E.g.: - Pelikins - 89%
  Dominion: Played as a heavy defender and pusher, very strong. Not a very good guide, though.

  Very good jungle guide.

• - Mid - APC - dominant ---- - E.g.: - Pluckin Penguin - 89%
  Wow. Overwhelming guide and a must read for any Anivia player. You obviously watch Froggen if you want to learn to play Anivia.

• - Mid - APC - dominant ---- - E.g.: - GARLANPEGO - 77%
  I am very dissapointed to see that there is not even one decent Annie guide out here. Help me get a link to one.

  Very extensive and well-written Ashe guide.
• - Bot - ADC - dominant ---- - E.g.: - astrolia - 89%
  Miniguide. Superb.
• - Bot - Sup - viable ---- ---- - E.g.: Shurelya'sZeke's Herald - [none] - [none]
  Very unusual but effective build, spamming / / and utilizing Ashe's utility from .
  Watch Zekent for this.

• - Bot - Support - dominant ---- - E.g.: Zeke's Herald - MrMiyamotoTaco - 76%
  Outdated but still decent support guide. Very helpful.
• - Jungle - Bruiser - viable ---- -- E.g.: - Helgasst - 71%
  You wanna jungle with Blitz - this is the guide for it.
• - Mid - Bruiser - viable ---- ---- - E.g.: - iggi - 91%
  All-round Blitz guide, look it up for an AP build.

• - Mid - APC - dominant ---- - E.g.: - BlackIceT - 94%
  A wonderfull Brand guide. You don't need anything more.

• - Bot - ADC - dominant ---- - E.g.: - Luther3000 - 92%
  Well, you won't find anything better than this. Seriously, I have tried.

• - Mid - APC - dominant ---- - E.g.: - Commercialized - 80%
  Decent. Streamers ?

  Interesting build.

  Learn how to become a true battle tank. Outstanding guide.
• - Jungle - Bruiser - dominant -- E.g.: - Synisto - 82%
  Solid Jungle Cho guide. I miss DuffTime's guide though...

• - Bot - ADC - dominant ---- - E.g.: - BladedOctopus - 65%
  Best Corki guide despite its low rating. Watch Guardsman Bob for Corki plays.
• - Mid - APC - viable ---- ---- - E.g.: - TiEP - 46%
  Ok guide.

• - Top - Bruiser - dominant ---- - E.g.: - Phil Collins - 92%
  Decent top guide.

• - Bot - ADC - dominant ---- -- E.g.: - Embracing - 73%
  A very good-looking and short Ezreal guide. Recommended for a first impression.
  Watch Guardsman Bob if you want to get to know ADC Ezreal better.
• - Bot - ADC - dominant ---- -- E.g.: - Akakakushi - 80%
  Most general and extensive Ezreal guide. Very informative.
• - Mid - APC - dominant ---- -- E.g.: - Gott der 7 Meere - 42%
  While my own guide on APC Ezreal is certainly not good, its the best guide on APC out here. If you have a better suggestion, post it. Watch xPeke for amazing Ezreal mid lanes.
• - Jungle - ADC - borderline - E.g.: - tehAsian - 73%
  If you pick Ezreal, you normaly won't jungle because he gets more Farm Mid or Bot and because there are better junglers. If you insist, this is how its done.
• Outdated ADC build in reworking process.

  Another outstanding guide. Well writtend and recommended for reading.
• - Mid - APC - dominant ---- ---- - E.g.: - YuanFen - 82%
  Decent description of APC Janna, but you need to watch Zekent to learn how its done.
• - PG/CS - ADC - troll ---- ---- --- E.g.: - [none] - [none]
  A very fun troll build. Self- works well, but she has a very short range and scaling issues. Work in CS and ARAM as "emergency build".

  APC Karma is underrated and terrible against some enemies, but very much viable. This is the best Karma guide ATM. Could be better though. Watch Zekent for hillarious Karma plays.
• - Bot - Support - borderline ---- E.g.: - Maramix - 59%
  The only support Karma guide out here. She has many supportive aspects, but for now she is only borderline viable due to her lack of CC. I hope that with the comming rework we will see her as support again.

  Very full and long guide.
• - Bot - ADC - viable ---- ---- -- E.g.: - Haedrix - 76%
  Due to high base stats, this used to be very powerfull. And even after some nerfs, it still works. Note: will charge Electrical Surge quickly and it will mark the main target every 3rd attack.
• - Top - OffTank - borderline - E.g.: - HolyFinggeR - 75%
  Sometimes good if your team needs constant CC. The guide only conveys the general idea, it is bad and outdated.

  Just to get the idea. Also you can ask Zekent to play her and he'll show you how its done.

  Very In-Depth Jungle Lee guide. Recommended for reading.

  Another In-Depth guide. Very nice Top-Matchup description. Long.

  The S2 jungle offered some APC's to jungle, and Veigar was one of them. I don't know if it still works, I guess with the increased difficulty its unlikely.

  Well-written and easy to read AP Mid guide.

Dominant builds usually won't cause trouble when played in normal or even ranked games, but how about you want to try out one of the viable or borderline builds ? You won't be a pro the first time and playing bot games can be a bit boring sometimes.

I suggest you join the "Fun Game" or "Mobafire" Chatroom, ask around and open or join a
"+++ Fun Builds +++" custom game. This allows you to try out ...

• Unusual Builds or Champions - AD Malzahar, AP Tryndamere, Heimerdinger, Karma.
• Fun Builds - AP Ashe, AD Lux (not listed in this Guide).
• Troll Builds - All Zeal Yi, Warding Master Yi, Speedy Rammus, Vision Ward Eve.

--... and have a lot o fun with it. You can then see for yourself if builds work or don't.
