When you find a truly in-depth Kayn guide like this one, you know the author must have put in the time to learn both Rhaast and Shadow Assassin Kayn to cover both playstyles in full. Shadesteppin doesn't let any nuance of either transformation get by and covers both of Kayn's forms (as well as his initial base form) in full detail. I often highlight detailed matchups sections in excellent guides since they contain a lot of varied and applicable information. In this case, I'd like to highlight [i]all three[/i] matchups sections in this guide. As Kayn's matchups can shift wildly based on what form he's in, it's useful to be able to fully understand his strength against different opponents at different phases of the game. This is also a good place to learn how your choice of transformation will affect your current jungle matchup in any given game, so it's worth a read.

Each of these playstyles require some alterations to his runes and item build. In this guide, Maintained covers just about every way you can impact the game with Skarner, with fully fleshed out runes and build options to optimize him for your needs. Be sure to check out the highly detailed gameplay sections for useful advice for every aspect of jungling, from initial pathing to ganking tips, jungle tracking and objective control. Despite this huge chunk of information, the guide doesn't feel long-winded due to the great use of graphics, gifs and headers to break up the text into easily digestible chunks, which makes learning much easier.

Thresh is one of League's most popular champions and also one of the most challenging supports to master. Luckily, Ahpulzz isn't one to take half-measures, so this guide is top quality all the way through, with detailed breakdowns of the build, mechanics, macro and great looking visuals on top of it all! It's tough to pick just one section to highlight in this guide, but "The Box" and "The Death Sentence" chapters are probably the most interesting and the most fun for read. Both of these sections have stellar formatting and include some fun gifs alongside really helpful tips for using these two abilities effectively. Even if you're not a Thresh player, you might learn something as a guide author from this guide, so take a look!
