We have a lot of exciting updates and quality of life improvements for guide authors and readers today. Break apart from the rest by customizing your guide even further!


New Guide Layout

Our slick new guide layout features a bigger skin art display that incorporates the rune choices into the background and a new notes button so that it is more obvious you are supposed to click / mouseover it. Enjoy!



New Versus Feature


We also have an exciting new Versus feature that will let you add champion matchup ratings to your cheat sheet, along with mouseover notes! This feature should be great for a quick reference and to keep important information near the top of the guide without crowding out the guide text. Matchups will show up below your masteries in your cheat sheet.





We have heard you! We've been waiting to roll out a lot of our bug fixes and improvements with this big update. Here's a list of updates and bug fixes, many requested and reported by our members!

  • Pro guides are now only "stickied" to the top of listings if their freshness is "Ideal"
  • The free champion rotation will now be updated automatically
  • Added Elophant stats and builds to champion pages
  • New "Top Guide" listings layout
  • Forums now show 10 clickable page links
  • Changed Forum "Replies" to "Posts" for clarity
  • Cleaned up the front page newsfeed
  • Added a field for final stat amount for Runes
  • Added "Mythical" item tier to the item database

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed the Guide Rankings in Footer Links
  • Fixed News archives link not working
  • Fixed Twitch video embeds not working
  • Archiving a PM now properly redirects to the archived PM's page
  • Tournament discussion comments now link properly
  • Fixed N.1 Toplist Guides Always Showing "NEW"
  • Fixed a bug causing blog pages to not be able to be accessed
  • Fixed some BBCode tags breaking the "Read More" link on blogs

As always, we invite all feedback, positive and (constructively!) negative :)

OTGBionicArm, could you provide some more detail?

The icons for items are too big now, it messed up all the cheat sheet layouts in my guides. xD overall I feel everything is either too big or too small, the icons being too big, and the little note tags are too small.

I really like the new changes for the cheat sheet. Look much cooler but it feels more broad compared to the old compact version. Perhaps adjusting everything so it feels more like a cheat sheet instead of a page of items?

EDIT: Ok after looking at my draft guide the cheat sheet feels waaay bigger than what it should be.

Also what happeed to the comment system? The text feels very awkward when placed in the current position
If you found me helpful give me some +Rep :)

I agree with OTG and IPod. Since there is only enough space for about 7-8 items per row, depending on the grouping, it makes the cheatsheet extremely long and a large pain to scroll though. There is usually only room for one or two item sets, and it's really confusing to keep looking to the beginning of a line to see what's next in the build order. Overall, I liked the old item layout better.

I do like the background of the skin you chose and the rune layout. Those are cool :)

Also, I continue to be disappointed at the lack of drag and drop re-ordering for item blocks. :[

The issue with the items is, some of the names are quite long and were getting cut off awkwardly. If we remove the names, new players will have a difficult time using your build in-game, since they need to mouseover to see what each item is. So we kept the names and adjusted the width to fit them in.

We are discussing some options though - one of which may be a "[ ] Hide item names" checkbox above the item section, for players that don't need them and prefer a more compact view. We can remember this setting in your browser so you don't have to click it again every time.

We are also discussing bringing back the "Cheat Sheet" popup that provides a much more compact view for printing or easier use in-game on a second screen (this would likely exclude item names for the sake of brevity).

@IPodPulse, do you mean comments on guides? We decided to remove the avatar box because it left so little room for text, it felt very cramped. This layout gives a lot more breathing room.

It looks nice. The new cheat sheets do look better but I agree with OTG in the sense that the notes are less visible and that the item icons are really big.

P.S. Did you really have to do this while I was writing my guide on formatting? (Including cheat sheet formatting)
