This little guide is merely a list of links to interesting things I have seen while roaming on the web. I started this thinking of it as a personal reminder, but now, I do not see any reason not to publish it. So here it is!

The first section contains links to general guides, while the second one contains links to champion builds. I did not list builds for all the champions I play, because in some cases, I simply did not find any guide meeting the quality standards I set as a requirement to the inclusion on this page. The guides I provide links to are detailed, well-written and well-presented (in most cases).

Enjoy the reading and feel free to recommend additional pages I could include in that list.

I decided to rate the freshness of the various guides this page links to. However, my ratings are different from Mobafire's, as a guide my not have been updated for a while but still contain usable information.

Up-to-date: the information in the guide is still up-to-date.
Usable: the guide contains valuable information, but some figures may not be up-to-date.
Expired: the general information in the guide is still worth of interest, but large parts of it can simply not be used anymore.

The following guides cover general areas and are excellent to read. Although they will not make you a better summoner, they will have you become aware of the flaws in your playstyle (if any ;) ).

This section contains a list of champions guides and builds I liked (any careful reader will infer that my personal judgement and taste are involved in the choices I made here). I tend to favor in-depth guides, which will rather advise and help you make your own build than give you some magical recipe for victory.

I also have to say that jhoijhoi's guide reviewing page is far more thorough and professional than this one. If you don't like mine, have a look at hers!


Alistar: The CC King, by PsiGuard: well-written, detailed, neatly presented. Nearly perfect! Up-to-date as of 18/12/2011.

In-depth guide to Annie, by Niegen: incredibly detailed, and brilliantly written. Up-to-date as of 18/12/2011.

An all-inclusive guide to the Terror of the Void by Stompystomp (Dmark91), by Stompystomp: correctly detailed, correctly written, good item selection. Usable as of 18/12/2011.
A gentleman's way of playing Cho'Gath, by PotatisFarfar: a slightly different view on Cho'Gath, well-written as well. The writer seems to like tank Cho'Gath. Up-to-date as of 18/12/2011.
Cho'Gath - Feast On Their Soul, GrandmasterD: well-written, mage-oriented guide. Features a Dominion section! Up-to-date as of 18/12/2011.

..::Evelynn - The black widow::.., by Adeori: an aesthetically pleasant guide, with a good item selection. It still remains unfinished, but it is a nice piece of work, worth being used for an AD Evelynn (especially with the upcoming jungle update). Up-to-date as of 18/12/2011.

A simple and comprehensive guide to Garen [Revamped], by M4urice (hey, it's me!): the way I think is best to play Garen (built upon rusPiglet's guide). Up-to-date as of 18/12/2011.
Garen - Spin to Crit, by Palthios: that guide changed my view on Garen. Not very good-looking (quite average, in fact) but contains very good advice for playing Garen at higher gameplay levels. Up-to-date as of 18/12/2011.
Garen - The Foundation of Victory, by Seviseth: correctly written, and most important, he shares my view on most points about Garen. Good item selection, thoughtful choice.

Rocking Solo Top With Malphite (Jungle Guide Included!), by PsiGuard: in-depth, well-written. Up-to-date as of 18/12/2011.

Mordekaiser - The Sovereign of Carnage, by Alahric: well-written, pretty comprehensive. Archived because the author thinks his Mordekaiser is not powerful enough after the Mordekaiser nerf in patch 1.0.0.125. Too bad, it's very good :'( Usable as of 18/12/2011.

Malevolent Morgana, by jhoijhoi: as usual when it comes to jhoijhoi's work, a well-written and in-depth guide. Not all ways of playing Morgana are covered, but it is a brilliant piece of advice. Up-to-date as of 18/12/2011.

Master of Assists (by Bguggs [INN]), by Bguggs: in-depth, up-to-date and dramatically effective (one of my favourite guides, actually, not due to aesthetics but rather because of the awesome completeness of the contents). It was ported to MobaFire here by Jebus McAzn. Usable as of 18/12/2011.
Just another Rammus guide. [Mastery Update+}, by Zyv0x: a good Rammus guide as well, with fresher updates. The builds are well-detailed; the gameplay section is also great, although Bguggs's is even better. Up-to-date as of 18/12/2011.
Jungledillo - Updated for Nautilus, by Crows: well-detailed, well-written, with very good advice about jungling. Up-to-date as of 28/02/2012.

AP Soraka: No, my horn doesn't poke through my Deathcap, by The_Nameless_Bard: this one is about mage Soraka. It is good as well. Up-to-date as of 22/12/2011.

Your Tryndamere Resource, by Apotheosis: all you need to know about Tryndamere (way better than any 3 x Phantom Dancer build). Officially discontinued, but updates still come. Up-to-date as of 18/12/2011.
Z3rg3m3n's 2k ELO Solo Top Tryndamere, by Z3rg3m3n: he wins using this :) This build is pretty similar to Apotheosis's, but the view on different aspects is different. Interesting. Usable as of 18/12/2011.

The builds I included in this guide are self-made and rather mainstream. My view on Garen is thoroughly presented in my guide. Irelia and Udyr are two other champions I play very often, and the builds presented here have proven their effectiveness. My jungle Rammus is a fun offtank combo I use sometimes; non optimal, but definitely surprising for the opposite team. The Evelynn build is a personal min-max AD recipe I used when this champion was viable; at the moment, she got nerfed so herd that even with this build, she's useless in most games. My Malphite build is the one I used for solo top when I played him a lot.
