The season 3 patch is literally around the corner so I just don't understand putting in all the effort of creating a guide when it will be out of date by the end of the week. I know I've spent the last week updating my guide, but I'm even doing that offline so that the changes aren't seen to the public until the patch actually drops. Then take into account the fact that all of my changes are based off of testing on the PBE and it means that I still have to be very careful upon patch because it is very possible that things will change from the PBE patch to the live servers.
It just seems to me that with all of the effort writing a guide takes it would make more sense to do your research, wait, and then post a guide after the next patch has dropped. Some of the things that are great for your champion right now could be getting nerfed hard for the next patch and you are thereby creating a guide that tells players an ineffective way to play your particular role or champion... That in and of itself is a reason for people to downvote you and in the end isn't that exactly what you are trying to avoid?
Sorry about the mini rant... I just don't understand being in a hurry to get out information that is more than likely less than reliable in a week's time.

Also about madred's... I'm not even sure why people get it. Early it's useless due to the passive barely doing damage. Late game your already have enough attack speed so meh at that, The 40 AD is ok, but 25 armor lategame is barely noticeable. Also they say it's a situational item, well late game people have somewhere between 2000-4000 HP usually so 80-160 magic damage from the passive. But anyone with
And add the freaking high cost to that.
Could I go ahead an publish the changes now? Sure. But what would I?
Then I was looking through at some of the guides that were published in the last few days and I noticed a
I will agree that most guides aren't good however at one point in time I was publishing my first guide and the only reason I did was because I saw the chance to improve upon the guides that were already presented, not to just throw up some random information that won't help anyone out due to it being out of date.
I stopped working on my unpublished guides too, waiting for season 3.
