Don't the mods here work with people when making different guides? I remember for those threads about specific roles, it was arranged pretty well on who was doing them, and who would be contributing. I don't really see the need for a high level player to make a guide. As long as the person making it is willing to put in the effort to update the guide based on information other people bring in, then there's not that much of a problem.

yah one problem is I'm making a false equivalency between being able to write a good guide and being willing to keep a guide updated. I don't really see a solution to people who write good guides just not having the time/interest to keep them up, but that doesn't really make ones that are less than A+ upon arrival any better.

I'll probably make a rally call some time early April to see if we can get some volunteers to finish up the remaining champions who are currently threadless. Once that's done, I can finally ship out that Champion Overview we've been sitting on for a few weeks now.

Authoring the threads is a matter of commitment, not so much expertise. If anything, it can even be a learning experience for silver/gold players since I'm willing to discuss with users as they go through the writing process.

no Varus thread, i'm gonna start practicing him. Skill order, runes/masteries suggestions? Thinking either BotRK, zeal, BF midgame core, or bt -> shiv?

after watching Thorin's latest Grilled Interview with Dyrus, I'm gonna work on a legit stable of ADs and actually focus on fitting them into lane matchups and team comps accurately, and mastering them mechanically. What do you guys think of this list?

MF, Cait, and Ashe, thenVarus or Vayne or Trist

also think people are sleeping on Ashe right now. Her base AS buff was significant, I can really feel it when I'm playing her during laning phase, and after PD/BotRK

I dont think Ashe can be a "significant" part of the meta so long as Zed and Khazix are in the game in their current forms. Also possibly even the FOTM assassins that lie in wait behind those two after the inevitable nerfs + Jarvan (even Kog is borderline in the Jarvan games).

Am I probably on the more pessimistic side? Yes. But I don't see Ashe turning into ASHE unless basically every 100-0 combo is eliminated from the game. There at too many gapclosers that make her kiting power too weak (honestly in some situations tumble is better), and she is not Kog, so you can't just "protect the Ashe". The one situation I do see Ashe as strong (and obviously stronger now) is when you see the other team is building a poke comp (I.E. They have picked Nid, Cait, etc and banned Malphite), you are at one of your later picks, and still need that hard engage because you have like Volibear/Singed or something.

how are zed khaz different from diana,akali, talon,fizz or even bruisers like irelia? assasins were always in this game and that didnt stop ashe from being viable back then

Well they are different because they are stronger. I would say Zed/Khaz is a tier right now, followed by Diana/Akali. Every champ in both those tiers makes Ashe nearly impossible (at the very least sub-optimal) to play. And, of course, the difference between all those champs and characters like Irelia/Jax is that Irelia/Jax USE AUTOATTACKS which means they need a period of time to do their damage. Time where you can CC/Kill/Kite them.

I would like to have the counterplay to Zed's REQIgniteBotRK explained.

the counterplay is to also REQIgniteBotRK him. as long as you're not playing support, should kill him if you do it first

Wait what? There isn't a spell combo in the game as strong as Zed's right now. And if there is, that champion does not have the luxury of autoattacks that hurt.

I have two Riot Graves skins for the first two people (in NA and EU) who can PM me with the names of all of TL LoL's Players of the Week(s) for their region.

I think they work on both NA and EU once, so four people should come away with new skins in general! Remember, if you don't have the champ, the skin gifts it as well.

Gave one away for being wrong, gave away another for a guy who went 9/0/11 on Rammus in the last ranked game I played. He deserved it. =D

Edit: NA claimed! Step up EU!

Kind of ashamed to admit I haven't noticed those yet I've actually read the writeups XD.

Would've been cool to win a rare skin like that but I guess I don't *really* play Rammus anyway :p

I wonder if Tresh or Vi's skin will go on sale soon.

Also is there a list of what Champions don't have threads yet? I think that'd help a bit anyway.

And by that he means "read TL writeups to the smallest details, so don't forget to burn into your mind even the names provided at the end, including 'AsmodeusXI, ok? <3".
