ATTENTION GUIDE WRITERS

[quote=Foo18][h3]If you want me to help make your guide better, I am up for it![/h3] If you have a guide that you want some advice on, want something specific added (say a "lane matchups section), criticism on it, or you are not very good at working the mobafire code on this site feel free to PM me about it. I am mostly not talking to people who have guides that aren't in the top spot, though I will help anyone if I can. [h3]What to ask me about:[/h3] 1. Mid lane champions. I am very familiar with most mid lane champions and all the AP items. This is my number 1 area of expertise. 2. Support. Support is my next best role. I have toyed a lot with the various support items, and I have some very unconventional, but effective item builds. [h3]What NOT to ask me about:[/h3] 1. Top lane bruisers. I do not play top lane bruisers (or almost any melee champs at that) so I do not know much about them other than how to play against them. 2. Junglers. I am a very bad jungler. 3. [[Vladimir]]. I am currently writing my own [[vladimir]] guide, so I don't really want to make other [[vladimir]] guides better. [h2]What will it cost?[/h2] It will cost nothing! (I don't think charging anything would be legal anyway lol) All I ask is that you credit me if you use my advice/content. I would also appreciate a [color=#800080]+rep[/color], but it isn't necessary. [h2]What have I done so far?[/h2] Here is an example of some work (in progress) that I have done for [url=http://www.mobafire.com/profile/notorious621-320081]Notorious621[/url] and his [url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/so-young-and-so-na-ve-275339]Anivia guide[/url]. I have not finished with it, and I am still working on it, but I will put all the champions that I can in it. [spoiler] Key- [color=#0080ff]Easy:[/color] An Easy win. Be aggressive. [color=#00ff00]Easy-Medium[/color] You have a slight advantage. You can be aggressive, just be careful not to overextend. Usually a farm lane. [color=#ffff00]Medium:[/color] A skill matchup. Wait for the enemy to make a mistake before being aggressive. Usually a farm lane. [color=#ff8000]Medium-Hard:[/color] Your enemy has a slight advantage. Play defensively, but don't be afraid to hold your own. Usually a farm lane. [color=#ff0000]Hard:[/color] A losing lane. Play passively and don't fight them until you have to. [icon=Ahri size=50] Difficulty- [color=#ff8000]Medium-Hard[/color] Pre-Six: Just dodge her Q and charm the best you can, and you will be absolutely fine. Try to farm, but shoot your [[flash frost]] at her if she steps past your melee minions. If you hit her, follow up with [[frostbite]]. If you miss, stay back until [[flash frost]] is back up once again. Post-Six: Be very careful, at any moment she may [[spirit rush]] at you and go for the kill. So long as you make it to your turret before you get egged, or she misses [[charm]] you will be fine. Don't [[Flash frost]] until she uses a [[spirit rush]]. Aim for where she is going to wind up, and throwing your wall up will help a little. If you land all of your spells on her and [[ignite]]d she should be dead. Push the wave up with your ult from afar, and be careful not to let her roam. Consider putting a ward in the middle of your lane, so you can see which direction she left lane in, if she is roaming. [color=#ffffff][b]Did I win?[/b][/color] -If she doesn't kill you, or get a kill roaming. You have won the lane unless you lost badly in CS. You should be able to out CS her, but not by that much. [Icon=Akali size=50] Difficulty- [color=#00ff00]Easy-Medium[/color] Pre-Six: You have a huge advantage before level 6. Hit her with basic attacks whenever she comes up to farm. From level 2-5 try to hit her with [[flash frost]] whenever she is vunerable. Just be careful not to let her get to close. If she throws [[twilight shroud]] down, just stack a bit back, and wait for it to wear off for resuming pressure. Since you will be so aggressive, make sure you have [[sight ward]]s down. Post-Six: This is where the lane gets tricky. Once she is level 6, just play farmville, but don't use [[flash frost]] to farm. If she jumps on you, immediately [[flash frost]] and [[frostbite]] her. If [[glacial storm]] is up, use that as well. After that, back up. Unless she is ahead, you should have one that trade, and she is likely sitting in [[twilight shroud]]. Just stay back unitl [[flash frost]] is be up again, and return to farming. DON'T USE [[FLASH FROST]] UNLESS SHE JUMPS ON YOU, OR THE JUNGLER IS GANKING. If she gets fed, don't be afraid to build a [[negatron cloak]]. Also, whatever you do, do NOT let her roam. If she does, see which way she is going and follow, or make a play for mid turret. And of course, tell the lane she was headed to to be careful [color=#ffffff][b]Did I win?[/b][/color] If you have more CS than her, and she has no kills, you have won lane. You should be able to get more CS than her. [Icon=Anivia size=50] Difficulty- [color=#ffff00]Medium[/color] Pre-Six: Just last hit. If you see a chance to, try to land a [[flash frost]] her. Be weary of her [[flash frost]]ing you while you cast [[frostbite]], however. If she lands [[flash frost]] on you, try to [[flash frost]] her back when she casts [[frostbite]]. Post-Six: You both will likely just wipe the creep waves. This is fine. Just farm wraiths and/or wolves and try to out CS her. You may be able to land free poke by waiting for her [[glacial storm]] then using all your spells on her. However, this is risky and I wouldn't recommend it. [b]BE VERY CAREFUL AND WARD. IF THE JUNGLER GANKS YOU SUCCESSFULLY, YOU ARE IN TROUBLE.[/b] [color=#ffffff][b]Did I win?[/b][/color] If you have any lead at all on her, you have won. [Icon=Annie size=50] Difficulty- [color=#ffff00]Medium[/color] Pre-Six: Play carefully and farm. If she has stun up, or has three stacks, then she can poke you very well. Just stay back, and launch [[flash frost]] at her if she comes for you. [[Annie]]s are usually very aggressive, so if she is trying to zone you from farm, call your jungler over and it should be an easy kill as she has no good escape. Just don't stay too close to your jungle or she may stun you both with [[incinerate]] Post-Six: This is where the lane gets a little scary. [[Annie]]s are quite fond of [[flash]] [[summon tibbers]]ing you. Just make sure you have at least a [[null-magic mantle]] and [[ruby crystal]] and you will be fine. You may get egged, but with her ult down you are free to harass until [[summon tibbers]] it off of CD. (make sure you know it's cooldown, and keep track. Start being careful when it is about 20 seconds from being up, just in case you miscalculated. If she has [[summon tibbers]] and you don't have [[rebirth]] be very careful. Push her into turret constantly, and make sure you know if she is roaming. [color=#ffffff][b]Did I win?[/b][/color] If she doesn't have more kills than you, and isn't beating you on CS very badly you have won lane. You should be able to beat her in CS. [Icon=Brand size=50] Difficulty- [color=#ffff00]Medium[/color] Pre-Six: Just avoid his [[pillar of flame]], and [[conflagration]]-[[sear]] combo and you will be fine. He is basically a less scary version of [[annie]]. Try to poke with [[flash frost]] and [[frost bite]] if you get the chance, but make sure there are always minions between you. Your priority will be farming. Post-Six: Try to get a [[null-magic mantle]] and a [[ruby crystal]] by this point. He is still basically a less scary version of [[annie]]. With his ult, he has enough burst to egg you from near full HP with catalyst. Just farm, but if he gives you the chance, don't be too afraid to poke with [[glacial storm]]-[[Frostbite]]-[[flash frost]] (try to use [[crystallize]] to make him get hit by [[flash frost]] His combo with a jungle gank will be scary, so make sure you have ward coverage if you are going to be aggressive at all. He has decent roaming capability, so as always, keep an eye on him and try not to let him roam. [color=#ffffff][b]Did I win?[/b][/color] So long as he doesn't crush you in lane, or get really fed off of roaming, you have won lane. You should be able to out-farm him. [icon= Cassiopeia size=50] Difficulty- [color=#ff8000]Medium-Hard[/color] Consider taking [[quintessence of movement speed]]. Take [[glyph of magic resist]] if you can. Pre-Six: She will be spamming her [[noxious blast]] and you are very slow and squishy. If she tries to [[twin fang]] you respond with [[flash frost]] and [[frostbite]] and back up. If she's smart, she'll be content with just poking with [[noxious blast]]. Just farm the best you can and don't die. If you get egged, she WILL have enough DPS to take you down if you aren't under turret. Post-Six: Same as pre-six, only she can kill you now. If you try to [[frostbite]] her at any point, she will ult you and kill you quickly. Otherwise, just farm the best you can and avoid poke. She doesn't have much escape other than her ult, so ganking can be very effective, and burn her ult and/or [[flash]]. As always, don't let her roam. [color=#ffffff][b]Did I win?[/b][/color] If you didn't give her more than one kill and kept up reasonably in CS, and didn't let her gank other lanes successfully, you have one lane. It will be difficult to outfarm her. [Icon=Cho'gath size=50] Difficulty- [color=#ffff00]Medium[/color] Consider move speed quints. Pre-Six: Just farm farm. He has so much sustain that poke won't do much. Try not to get hit by [[rupture]]. Post-Six: Just shove him into turret constantly. He can clear wave, but not as well as you can. Only thing you need to be careful of is getting ganked after he hits [[rupture]]. [color=#ffffff][b]Did I win?[/b][/color] As long as you didn't die and you were close to him on CS, you have won lane. (And he didn't roam successfully.) You should out-farm him if you take wraiths and wolves. Otherwise, it will be really close. [Icon=Diana size=50] Difficulty- [color=#ffff00]Medium[/color] Consider taking [[glyphs of magic resist]]. Pre-Six: You have the advantage, so try to harass the best you can. Just be careful to dodge [[crescent strike]]s and to not let her into melee range. Post-Six: This is where it gets a little tricky. Just farm passively and dodge [[crescent strikes]]. If she [[lunar rush]]es onto you hit her with your Q immediately. If she did not have [[crescent strike]] on you when you [[lunar rush]]ed onto you, then put [[crystallize]] between you and her and poke her with [[glacial storm]] and [[frostbite]]. If she did have [[crescent strike]] on you when she [[lunar rush]]ed onto you, save [[crystallize]] for when she [[lunar rush]]s a second time. You should have at least traded evenly, or won the trade. Other than that, just push lane constantly and... DO NOT LET HER ROAM. Consider putting a ward in the middle of your lane to she where she is roaming. If you are behind, don't be afraid to grab a [[negatron cloak]] [color=#ffffff][b]Did I win?[/b][/color] If she didn't snowball anywhere, you have won lane. [Icon=Evelynn size=50] Difficulty- [color=#ff0000]Hard[/color] Pre-Six: Try to deny her with basic attacks the best you can. It isn't a bad idea to poke her with an unchilled [[frostbite]]. However, be careful about shooting your [[flash frost]] at her, because she can dodge it easily and really punish you for missing [[flash frost]]. Make sure to see where she goes if she leaves lane, do not let her roam without calling mia and where she was headed if you saw that. Post-Six: Just as easy of a lane, but FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO NOT LET HER ROAM. KDJFNSLDKJFBDSKLBFSDLKFJDB Keep a vision ward in mid lane, and push her into turret. It she leaves you MUST know where she was headed, and call it out. If she leaves middle lane and you don't know where she went call mia, but it will probably be a kill some where. This is why the lane is listed as hard. If you let her roam, and she snowballs other lanes. The game might just be over. If she is in range, poke her with [[glacial storm]], [[frost bite]] and [[flash frost]]. Any kill you can get on her will be worth pretty much double. Be careful, though. She has really heavy burst and if you get egged outside of turret range, she will kill you. Just remember holding your own in lane will not help your team win. You HAVE TO HAVE TO HAVE to keep her from roaming any way you can. [color=#ffffff][b]Did I win?[/b][/color] If she did not snowball other lanes, or destroyed you. You have won lane, and should play the lottery. [[Evelynn]] is just... complete BS. [Icon=Fizz size=50] Difficulty- [color=#ff0000]Hard[/color] Take [[glyphs of magic resist]] if at all possible. Consider taking a defensive summoner spell such as [[barrier]] if you can. [[Ignite]] will be of no use against him. Pre-Six: Poke him with autos and [[flash frost]]/[[frostbite]] before level 3. After that, just farm passively. He can dodge your [[flash frost]] with either of his jumps, so you can ONLY use it if he is in melee range of you, and he may still dodge it after that. Just passively farm as much as you can. Post-Six: Watch out for [[chum the waters]]. He could throw that at you at any time. Make sure you are always under turret so when you get egged, he can't take you out afterwards. NEVER, EVER use [[flash frost]] on him until he jumps at you. Try to keep of track of where he is going when he roams, but you can't stop him or follow him. Just punish him by pushing lane in, and warn the lane he was headed to. [color=#ffffff][b]Did I win?[/b][/color] If he didn't kill you many times or get a few kills in other lanes, you have won. Unless you have like, half his CS. It will be hard to out-farm him, because he will likely kick your ass. [Icon=Galio size=50] Difficulty- [color=#00ff00]Easy-Medium[/color] Pre-Six: Just farm and dodge his poke. Don't bother trying to harass him. Just save your [[flash frost]] to escape a gank, or secure a kill on a gank. Hit him with basic attacks when you get the chance because he is melee, but don't go past your minions to do so. Post-Six: Just push him into turret constantly, and try not to get caught. Farm as much as you can, and keep him shoved into turret and he won't be able to roam. [color=#ffffff][b]Did I win?[/b][/color] As long as you didn't lose horribly in CS and he didn't get any kills, you have won lane. You should be able to outfarm him. [Icon=Karthus size=50] Consider move speed quints. Difficulty- [color=#0080ff]Easy[/color] Pre-Six: Try to nail him with [[flash frost]] whenever you get the chance (If he ever tries to basic attack, or it you can predict when he is about to use [[lay waste]]. Just try to predict his movements. If you land one [[flash frost]] and [[frostbite]] combo, he will be dropped to half HP. Make sure you are ready to dodge [[lay waste]]. He may start poking you with them at any time. It also helps to stay near minions so that any [[lay waste]] he does land do half damage. Post-Six: You have a choice right now. You can either shove him into turret constantly and farm, or you can pressure him heavily with [[glacial storm]] and [[frostbite]] poking. If you land a [[flash frost]] on him, and have [[ignite]] up, he will be dead unless he uses flash. Be careful about being too aggressive though, as [[karthus]] can take you down pretty quickly if the jungler ganks you. Usually, you will be able to one shot him with your combo if it comes down to that, though. However, that is not a winning trade because they get the assist gold. Always be weary of killing him when you don't have much health because of [[death defied]] and [[requiem]]. HOW TO DEAL WITH [[REQUIEM]]: Make sure you keep him in sight as much as you can. Stay just above the center of your lane, and make sure there is decent ward coverage. If you notice the giant red line appear above your head, run towards the enemy turret. If you see him using [[requiem]] do not hesitate to [[flash]] into [[flash frost]] in interrupt it. Also, having landed a stun you can probably secure a kill unless he is really far under turret. Trading your [[flash]] to cancel [[requiem]] is worth it, you will usually have saved a teammates like by doing so. [color=#ffffff][b]Did I win?[/b][/color] If you have more kills and/or CS then him, you have won lane. This is one of the only lanes where you don't out-scale him and farming passively is not a good option. You should be able to out-farm him if you pressure him enough. [Icon=Kassadin size=50] Difficulty- [color=#ff8000]Medium-Hard[/color] Consider taking [[glyph of magic resist]] if you can. Pre-Six: Before level 6 he is NOT scary. There is no need to be afraid of him at this time. In fact, at this point you HAVE to be aggressive. If he ever takes a CS, punish him with basic attacks and a [[flash frost]] if you can land it. DO NOT be scared of [[null sphere]]. It does do damage, but instead of being afraid of it, just make him pay for each poke with two-three basic attacks and a [[flash frost]]-[[frostbite]] if you can. If you can't seem to land a [[flash frost]] on him, just poke him with unchilled [[frostbite]]s. It isn't very mana efficient, but you will have plenty with [[crystalline flask]] and [[mana potion]]s. You HAVE to harass him however you can. Tell your jungler to gank now. [[Kassadin]] is very weak to ganks before he gets [[riftwalk]]. Post-Six: Now that he is six tell your jungle not to bother ganking unless he is constantly using [[rift walk]] to be aggressive on you. Stay back, do not get in range of his [[null sphere]] and [[force pulse]]. Force him to use [[riftwalk]] if he wants to harass you. After he has [[riftwalk]]ed at you, RUN RIGHT AT HIM. You heard me, run right at him! Once his silence wears off, you will be able to use your full combo on him. Use [[ignite]] if he gets low enough. Back off after you use all your spells because his spells with be off cooldown in a moment. If you are even in lane or winning, you should have won that trade. If you lost that trade, then you are in desperate need of help. [[Kassadin]] is very fond of roaming. He is much more mobile than you, so you cannot follow, but you HAVE to see where he is going and warn your team, and you must shove him into turret as well. Rush [[catalyst of the protector]] and [[chalice of harmony]] as soon as you can. This is usually how the lane works out. Either 1. You punish pre-six to the point where you win even after he is level 6. In this case, harass him if he gives you the chance, but otherwise just farm 2. He starts beating you after level 6, and forces you to tower hug. Then he goes roaming and either gets very fed and wins the game, or falls behind. If this is the case, try not to do and do everything you can to hinder his roaming from safety. 3. He starts beating you at level 6, and decides to make your life hell instead of roaming. This is fine, simply try to live and farm the best you can. You out-scale him heavily. [color=#ffffff][b]Did I win?[/b][/color] If you have not fed him too many kills, haven't been denied half of your normal CS, and he hasn't been successfully ganked much, you have won lane. You will either out-farm him badly, or be outfarmed badly. Depends on if you beat him badly enough pre-six.[/spoiler] I also helped [url=http://www.mobafire.com/profile/incendiax-55421]incendiax[/url] with his [url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/vladimir-mid-carry-ranked-build-post-nerf-in-depth-89424]Vladmimir Guide[/url] (top rated) for a while, but then decided to make my own since [[vladimir]] is my main, and I wanted to make a guide for him myself. So, if you have a guide you want help with send me a PM and I will help you with it however I can.[/quote]

[quote=devdevil][center][h2]ATTENTION THREAD POSTER[/h2] Post this in the Build and Guide Discussion, seriously -.-[/center][/quote]

[quote=MrCuddowls][quote=devdevil] [center][h2]ATTENTION THREAD POSTER[/h2] Post this in the Build and Guide Discussion, seriously -.-[/center] [/quote] In all honesty, the moderators care so little about the difference of Build and Guide and General that ive gotten away with posting just discussions about league of legends in general and have moderators replying to the topic no matter what section they are, whether the it can be considered wrong or right. TLDR, The mods don't really care whats posted in the two sections as long as its league of legends Gameplay or build related[/quote]

[quote=devdevil]Ahaha, then what's the point of naming the individual sections? Are you suggesting I not consider the names of the sections? O.o[/quote]

[quote=Foo18]Oh, I didn't even know there was a "Build's and Guide" section. All I saw is General Discussion, Theory Crafting, New Player Help, and Mentoring. Now that I am looking for it, I have hit "view forum" and found that there is much more! lol. Sorry, I didn't know that forum existed.[/quote]

[quote=devdevil]No problem O.O[/quote]

[quote=DemonSovereign][quote=Foo18] Oh, I didn't even know there was a "Build's and Guide" section. All I saw is General Discussion, Theory Crafting, New Player Help, and Mentoring. Now that I am looking for it, I have hit "view forum" and found that there is much more! lol. Sorry, I didn't know that forum existed. [/quote] I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM BEFORE! I didn't know clicking the Community tab would bring me to the page with all the forum sections listed. Anyways, all I really need is help on some Match Ups, because I never faced them on [[mordekaiser]] so I have no experience facing them. I've played as them before, but never against them when I play [[mordekaiser]]. These Match Ups are: [list] [*][[elise]] [*][[karma]] [*][[syndra]] [*][[zed]] [/list][/quote]

[quote=Nighthawk][quote=Foo18] 3. Vladimir. I am currently writing my own Vladimir guide, so I don't really want to make other Vladimir guides better. [/quote] GTFO![/quote]

[quote=devdevil]Oh! I could also use some match ups help. For my [[Lulu]] guide. [[Lulu]] support bot lane! Basically, anyone you can think of. Don't really need to format it, I can do that, just need the text in a neat(ish) format.[/quote]
