[quote=Apathy]TotHeMax's [url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/jungle-nunu-watch-for-dem-ganks-244418]Nunu Guide[/url] [spoiler]I'll list stuff briefly for easy reading. - Not sure what the double-slash everywhere is for. - Misspelled "Gotta" in the second-least line of the intro. - [[Good Hands]] saves your team while [[Expanded Mind]] doesn't help until you don't need it. - Might want to include 0/9/21 masteries as an alternative. - Alternate flat AD runes would speeed up your jungling at the cost of less damage output. - Misspelled "you" in the last paragraph of skills chapter. - "This is Nunu's signature move" No it isn't, people remember him for the perma-infinite-slow ice ball. - Consider including additional information on Absolute Zero from the [url=http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Nunu_the_Yeti_Rider/Ability_Details]LoL Wiki[/url]. - Elaborate more on how to decide between putting points in Consume and Blood Boil. - OH GOD DON'T GET EX CALLING. THERE IS MORELLO'S. - I highly recommend gp10 items on Nunu since you can't take cs even given time to farm. Also, their upgrades Shurelya's, Randuin's and DFG/Morello's are all very strong items in general and very strong on Nunu. - Ganking section: Misspelled "times" as "ties". Consider taking Blood Boil at level 3 for faster jungling, and also consider writing about level 2 ganking. - Teamfights section: Highlight that Ice Blast slows attack speed by a lot. It can also be useful to help your AD carry kite an anti-carry. On the whole, pretty well thought out. However, the guide is nothing special, with a more or less conventional build. You need to add another few thousand (useful) words if you want a really good guide, if not you can stick with just a good build.[/spoiler] Review my guide (link in sig) please! I only have 700 views because I archived it before release and thus didn't get in the newest guides list. Also it's a general guide so people don't normally find it when searching for other guides.[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]^Remember that we want the link in the post so people can check out the guide *if they don't see the original poster's signature* when they read someone else's review. Not everyone is going to want to code your guide's link into their own review. It's best to make it easy for everyone by following simple rules! :) +rep for the review on Max's Nunu Guide, keep up the good work, but try to follow the format! Sometimes people list what they want reviewers to focus on, so it's best to quote the request :)[/quote]

[quote=Anastasios]Sometimes I dream about cheese REVIEW POWERS ACTIVATE ONCE AGAIN And damn i got plenty of guides to review. [rule] [center][b][color=#00ffff]--I--[/color][/b][/center] [quote=Shadow_Light] Would be nice if i would get some reviews on my [url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/diana-a-new-moon-rises-mid-jungle-guide-235499]Diana[/url] Guide. Thanks in advance. [/quote] [spoiler] First off, Lore is not needed imo. Runes: Any alternatives? AS reds/Armor yellows for jungle? Is there a reason yo can't take MS quints, or Mpen, or Spellvamp? A bit more detail would be nice. Masteries: Also need more alternatives. A lot of junglers work great with something like 9/12/9. Also, [[brute force]] is much better than [[mental force]], especially since autoattacks are a big damage source for diana. You can merge the skill sequence and ability explanation chapters. Items: I'm not really sure if RoA is the right choice, but i'll trust you on this one since i don't play Diana. I would always go for abyssal rather than void though, unless if the enemy is stacking some serious MRes. Makes you much tankier, and the passive helps the entire team, since you get deep in the enemy team with [[lunar rush]] and [[moonfall]]. As for jungling, you should deefinately get some gp5 items. You don't get enough farm to buy big stuff right away, and you can't rely on sucessful ganks only. Overall, i would call it ok. The main problem is that you don't offer something new, it's all said and done before. [/spoiler] [rule] [center][b][color=#00ffff]--II--[/color][/b][/center] [quote=tehAsian] I'd like review on my Diana guide :D [url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/diana-moonlit-mid-lane-235823]Clicky[/url] I'm also going to stick around and review other guides too :3 [/quote] [spoiler] Much fewer stuff here. First, Destruction Runes. I think these are viable only for hybrid Diana, as AP Diana will (understandably) benefit more from Insight. I suggest you remove them, since you don't mention a hybrid diana anywhere. The image for your jungle route needs a change, i can't see the numbers :/ I'm not really sure if [[shurelia's reverie]] is a wise choice, and randuin's/FH... i guess they can work, but i'd like you to analyse a bit more when to take them and why. [/spoiler] [rule] [center][b][color=#00ffff]--III--[/color][/b][/center] [quote=Kazega] I would like to put up my Katarina guide up for Community Review [/quote] [spoiler] You don't really explain what Summoner Spells to take, you just say what they do. Personally, i don't think [[surge]] or [[promote]] or [[garrison]] need a mention. Runes also need some alternatives. I've seen some people run Spellvamp quints on kat, or flat AP blues. You don't make a single mention of [[abyssal scepter]], and i'm kinda surprised. You also have several typos throughout the guide that must be fixed. [/spoiler] [rule] [center][b][color=#00ffff]--IV--[/color][/b][/center] [quote=KSS Awake] I will put my [url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/skarner-the-trinity-tank-beast-235676]Skarner guide[/url] here and I will be reviewing guides as soon as possible. [/quote] [spoiler] First off, let me say i don't play Skarner. Ever. Why not AS reds? I think they would work great with [[skarner]]'s passive. Some more alternatives on masteries? why not a few points in offense? I still think that a point in [[fracture]] earlier isn't a bad idea. Also, you ability explanations feel a bit... rushed, as if you hurriedly wrote a couple of words just for them to be there. I used to have the same opinion with you about GA. But it is an item that ANYONE can buy. ANYONE Conclusion. It's a good guide, but it needs a couple of changes here and there. [/spoiler] [rule] [center][b][color=#00ffff]--V--[/color][/b][/center] [quote=Sujing] I'll join in on the fun! Maokai Guide I have over 20 votes but would appreciate feedback/comments. Thanks! [/quote] [spoiler] I highly disagree with getting AP on jungle Mao. I see him as more of a support jungler. You also say "The reason why I go 0/21/9 is for encouraging the role of Maokai as a support tank. He is not truly a damage dealer so you would rather want him to be tanky over AP", but then you get AP quints and RoA. Why not MS quints? A bit more info on his abilities would be nice (when to use them and how) I would prefer to keep the Catalyst until later on and then upgrate it to a banshee's veil. Overall it's a good guide that teaches you how to play Mao, but i disagree with some of your choices. [/spoiler] [rule] That's it for now.[/quote]

[quote=KSS Awake][quote=TotHeMax] 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] [spoiler] As I usually support with [[nunu]] but when rarely playing him in the jungle, I go for a support tank build since I don't consider him an ap jungler like [[diana]] or [[fiddlesticks]], he can bring alot of utility in late game fights even without much damage, buff his ad carry, debuff the enemy ad carry and have a huge ability to baron/ drake steal, also the ult can be used only for the slow. If you had explained somewhere why you build him like this and not like that and when it benefits more to build in a specific way then I would have upvoted, but for now no vote. [/spoiler][/quote]

[quote=tehAsian]@Anastasios [url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/malignant-malzahar-2-0-225519]Malzahar Guide[/url] Not much to criticise :D [spoiler] MOBAVerse Review :3 Solid guide, but there are a few things. IMO because of how you can use E to safely farm, and you generally don't lose health when you 100 - 0 the other APC, [[hextech revolver]] isn't that great. Also, why not mention [[malzahar]] can farm wraiths while not doing anything else? Last thing is you should mention you can E a minion, port back to base, and still gain gold/exp. +1[/spoiler][/quote]

[quote=Viola Orpheus][quote=CookiesNCream] Can someone take a quick look at my [url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/the-storm-approaches-a-guide-to-janna-239242]Janna Guide?[/url] Kinda died down after the first day of publication T^T I'll stick around and review anyone else's guide of a champion that I actually have knowledge of D: Cheers [/quote] My review for this. [spoiler]Hello there, I'm reviewing your guide as per your request from the MOBAVerse Library Thread. There's nothing bad I can really say about the guide. It was well written and you gave an explanation for all of your choices. I, however, personally feel that the two points in [[Scout]] and [[Sage]] would be better off to either max out [[Awareness]] or to have two points in [[Swiftness]]. With [[Scout]], for the reason being that I honestly haven't noticed a difference by having a point in [[Scout]]. And with [[Sage]], is that it becomes useless once you hit level 18, which also happens to [[Awareness]], but [[Sage]] isn't as useful as [[Awareness]] or [[Swiftness]] IMHO. But those are just my two cents. Overall, it was a good read. The only real thing that I think could help out is to add more items for the 'situational items' chapter. Since I've honestly seen some supports and not just [[Janna]] in general who grab items which, A) aren't meant for them, B) don't synergize with their kit, or C) are just wrong in general. +1[/spoiler] Ended up being a little longer than I was expecting. I'll try to review guides of champions that I have some knowledge of which are in here.[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]+rep to those who have been reviewing, who I haven't +rep'd yet :)[/quote]

[quote=bsurma]So, I've prepared 3 reviews for now. 1. [url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/jungle-nunu-watch-for-dem-ganks-244418]Nunu Guide[/url] by TotHeMax [spoiler] I'm not a big fan of Nunu builds that focus on Ability Power (usually the only thing I build is [[abyssal scepter]] since it synergizes extremely well with the ultimate), because you lose a lot of your speed early and all of your supportive capabilities aside from your skills, but this guide explains everything pretty well and is quite informative. It could be longer, though. I'd suggest a Warding section and some pictures for your jungle route. [color=#00ff00]Pros:[/color] - Brief, solid guide - Explanations for choices of items, runes, masteries etc. - It stands out and also shows a really fun way to play jungle [[nunu]] [color=#ff0000]Cons:[/color] - Could be longer - AP jungle [[nunu]] is fun, but really susceptible to being shut-down early All in all, have a [color=#00ff00]+1[/color]. :) [/spoiler] 2. [url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/skarner-the-trinity-tank-beast-235676]Skarner Guide[/url] by KSS Awake [spoiler] The guide looks really polished and contains everything you could expect from a [[skarner]] guide. Route, match-ups, warding and so on - it's just top quality. All the 3 builds on the cheat sheet are legitimate and the runes/masteries are, too. The only thing that bothers me is the starting set-up, but I guess everybody has their own opinion. I do believe that running [[boots of speed]] and 3x [[health potion]]s benefits him the most currently. I just... don't know what to say. I haven't found anything irky in the guide, no questions asked. [color=#00ff00]Pros:[/color] - Great, solid guide over-all - Coding makes it comfortable to read - Contains so much information that asking for more is a sin [color=#ff0000]Cons:[/color] - well... haven't found any :D This has been more than a worthwhile read. [color=#00ff00]+1[/color]. [/spoiler] 3. [url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/of-the-war-on-paper-a-common-strategic-resource-224095#chapter2]Of the War on Paper: A Common Strategic Resource[/url] by Apathy [spoiler] From my point of view, this guide has a lot of potential and could be one of the most resourceful guides on the site, but it still needs some work. I don't mean your guide isn't informative enough. It's just that its wall-of-text-ish traits might discourage some players from reading the entire thing. [color=#00ff00]Pros:[/color] - A lot of information that you can use - Covers a lot of aspects of the game well, not many guides do that [color=#ff0000]Cons:[/color] - Still, could use some more coding (ask somebody on the forums to help you with that) - A lot of text might turn off some readers, consider some less text/more pictures to keep them interested While your work has some flaws that you could work on, I'm not in the mood for being a prick right now. You get a [color=#00ff00]+1[/color] for all the hard work put in it so far. [/spoiler] In return, I'd like someone to review my [[darius]] guide. [url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/will-dunk-for-feed-a-guide-to-the-hand-of-noxus-242143]The link is right here.[/url] It's already in the top 3 and I'm really grateful for all of the positive feedback, but I'd like to see some more comments. Maybe I'm still missing something and I don't even know about it, just let me know in the review![/quote]

[quote=tehAsian]bsurma's [url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/will-dunk-for-feed-a-guide-to-the-hand-of-noxus-242143]Darius[/url] guide. [spoiler]Here's your requested review :3 Sorry it's a bit harsh. Why [[last whisper]]? Sure, it synergizes with [[apprehend]], but that gold is better spent on defensive items as [[noxian guillotine]] is True Damage, 100% armor pen won't increase that damage, and most carries (which you should be dunking) have little to no armor so that just [[apprehend]] is enough. Why 21/9/0? Minion damage reduction heavily impacts top lane, and you forgo [[tough skin]] for your 9/21/0 masteries. That 2 damage will impact your trades more than you can imagine. IMO being tankier outweighs doing 6% more damage on your ultimate (800 true damage + [b]48[/b] extra damage :l) Also, you don't want damage if you have to get reeeaaaallly close to enemies, you want to be tanky to survive 5 guys bashing your face in. I do like how you use Mpen in masteries though, not a lot of people pick that up. [[trinity force]] only be gotten if you're ahead, again [[darius]] is a no mobility melee champion, sometimes a couple hundred health from [[frozen mallet]] is all it takes to get in range for [[apprehend]]. Having to apply [[hemorrhage]] stacks with auto-attacks isn't an excuse to buy [[last whisper]], it's more of an excuse to buy attack speed via [[wit's end]], [[trinity force]], etc. Where is da [[warmog's armor]] in the defensive items? Why don't you mention you can just apply 5 stacks of [[hemorrhage]] then immediately ult just to chunk people? AKA tanks your team *needs* to down? ADCs that your team *must* kill ASAP? Why not: [list][*][b][color=red]Never give up![/color][/b] [[darius]] has ridiculous damage output, if you get ganked try fighting back, you might be surprised at your damage and get off a double kill![/list] Baron ward? In teamfights you'd don't want to focus the most fed, you want to focus the biggest threat. A 0/10 [[graves]] with 10000 CS and full build is a bigger threat than a 400/0 [[leblanc]] late game. My main beef with this guide: Jungling section. [[darius]] excels at invasions...yet you don't mention it ._. No vote for now. Feel free to PM me or something for your retorts :3 [/spoiler][/quote]
