MOBAFire 2017 Guide Contest

[quote=LuxTheGreyWarden][quote=Re4XN]Well, Ferret's [[Ahri]] guide is going to take mid lane home :P ^ I agree with this statement hahaha. I can fix mine up, for sure, but it would never match how great this one is.[/quote]

[quote=Tinjus]Nice, this will be my first time entering this contest :D. Just a question, as long as we have an updated guide for season 7 we'll be entered in the competition? I'm just wondering whether you have to actually sign up or not. Hope my Kha'Zix guide and I can do well :P[/quote]

[quote=Duosora]I am going to finally craft a Kled guide. Hope people will like it. It's my attempt to get RPs for Sir Kled :)[/quote]

[quote=Re4XN][quote=Duosora]I am going to finally craft a Kled guide. Hope people will like it. It's my attempt to get RPs for Sir Kled :)[/quote] Looking up to it, there's not a single good [[Kled]] guide out here. Good luck.[/quote]

[quote=Elusive Ferret]I still have absolutely no idea how Kled works. I should probably read up on him a bit more haha[/quote]

[quote=Re4XN][quote=Elusive Ferret]I still have absolutely no idea how Kled works. I should probably read up on him a bit more haha[/quote] He is waaaaay too much of a coin flip champion. And although I love high-risk high-reward champions, [[Kled]] falls rather short in that category, because of his horrible early game. Literally anyone can force you off of Skaarl, and then you have to play like a wuss for 5 minutes and I find it incredibly hard to properly farm with him. But then again, if you somehow manage to outplay the enemy champion, you snowball so hard to the point you steamroll their entire team. During my first [[Kled]] game I ended up 19/0/xx. Anyway, getting back on track, I don't think my [[Sion]] guide will be ready in time for the contest, and my [[Pantheon]] Mid guide is simply outclassed *i cri*[/quote]

[quote=Elusive Ferret]One thing I've definitely noticed with Kled is that he's very slippery. You've also still got like 18 days til the contest ends, you can do it![/quote]

[quote=Re4XN][quote=Elusive Ferret]You've also still got like 18 days til the contest ends, you can do it![/quote] I have 21 days to save the semester. Not that I'm doing bad (comparing this year to the last one, this one is a breeze), but I can't lose focus, at least not right now xD Time is a luxury I have to fully (mostly) devote to Java, Bash, C, among other stuff... And the guide also has a Jungle component, which has to be entirely scrapped and rewritten (since I only wrote about pathing so far). I haven't even begun work on Top Lane Sion, which is a story all its own. Maybe next year (though, this is probably a lie, since next year I'll [hopefully] begin internship). As I like to think, it's not about winning RP (though that [[Warmonger Sion]] would be nice), it's about teaching people the in and outs of some underplayed champions. The only meta pick I have (seriously) played in ranked to this day has been [[Gangplank]], and even the pirate has fallen out of flavour recently.[/quote]

There's definitely a lot that would need changing for a Jungle/Jungler Guide that's for sure. I was lucky that I only really had to change Masteries (which weren't anything major) and the matchups for the Assassins that got reworked/changed. Only reason it still took me over 100 hours was because I hadn't updated it in like 6 months and I also decided to completely change the visuals and layout of the Guide. You're right it's not about winning RP too, or at least it shouldn't be. It would be a shame if the sole reason for someone's motivation of updating/making a Guide was just about winning some RP. It's a nice bonus sure and should work as [i]some[/i] motivation, but as you say, it should be about wanting to teach people about something you have knowledge and experience with. I mean, that's the whole point of making a Guide at the end of the day no? Maybe that's just me though, I spent the RP I won last year on 2 Gnar skins for Wayne :D Just out of curiosity, you're not on EUW right?[/quote]
