From The Shadows - Shen Top, Jungle & Support by @ Silverman43

Silverman is one of those dedicated guide authors that can achieve what few others can. His multi-role guides not only include a ton of content covering each role promised in the title, but they manage to flow cohesively with some chapters being broken up by role and more generalized advice being grouped together. It's really tough to pull off a quality multi-role guide, and Silverman seems to have mastered this skill.

This guide is a breath of fresh air to prospective Shen players, as that champion had been needing a good guide. Luckily for readers, this guide covers just about every facet of Shen that you'd want to know, regardless of where you're planning on playing him. Laners should be sure to check out the detailed matchups section for extra tips to handle various opponents in the early game.

Break Their Ranks - Jungle Hecarim by @ Maintained

is still a solid meta jungler, so it's a great time for any players new to the champion or the jungle role to pick him up! Maintained's Hecarim guide covers both the champion in detail as well as a lot of general jungle advice that'll be helpful to all jungle players, regardless of champion.

Be sure to check out the Ganking chapter for a helpful breakdown of the thought process that goes into deciding when and where to gank. Keeping track of enemy summoner spells, judging lane states, and converting successful ganks into objectives are some of the main skills that separate mediocre junglers from great ones, so read up on what you should be focusing on before you take to the Rift and try to implement these practices for yourself!

Think Beyond One Lifetime by @ 7daysko

Like many guides that claim a featured spot on the front page, 7daysko's guide is a solid piece of work all the way through, but really shines in the thorough breakdown of lane matchups. The author includes a great number of common mid laners that you're bound to face as Anivia, as well as a quick laning evaluation followed by a detailed exploration of the matchup.

Getting through the early game is crucial for Anivia so she can start farming up a storm and get the items she needs to start comboing enemies and apply pressure to her lane and the rest of the map. Between the build order, ability tips and matchup advice, you should be in a much better position to master Anivia's laning phase and beyond!

If you liked any of these guides, be sure to give the authors a vote and comment with your thoughts! See you again next week. :)
