Hello friends,

With the Season 5 Guide Contest coming to a close, I was curious to see how many Season 5 Builds & Guides every God(dess) on the site had; the result of that little investigation can be found in the table below.

Previous Table

As you can see, there are 5 Gods who currently have no S5 Build or Guide: Erlang Shen, Hel, Kumbhakarna, Kuzenbo and Ymir. However, my intent in sharing this was not to say "here's a problem, go fix it"; this was very much something I researched out of personal interest, and I figured I'd share the results.

What are your guide plans for Season 5? Do you play any of the Gods that do not have an updated guide yet? Let me know below :)

I'm telling you, once i get back around to my guides, u wont know whats coming. I have an old and guide, an unfinished guide, i will re update my guide, and have a and guide as soon as i get them both to diamond.

And then you'll be sorry.

(400) |

I'm already sorry.

(81) |

Yes you are.

I may finish up my Cern guide and do a Skadi one, I haven't decided yet.

The thing about personally is that I can't definitevely make a guide for her because of my personal bias and I have no way of explaining how to play her. But when u come around to that project, contact me and I can help :D

(81) |

Biased for or against her, Icy? I think the key difference between a good player and one who's either new or not so good is how they use : do they let him attack until his runes or gone or do they call him back before then? I always try to call him back after he's made a kill or if the enemy is running away and I don't think he can kill 'em. Anyway, I'll let you know when I'm ready. I'm almost done updating , then it'll be time to finish the guide.

Hey FlameHotCola, I'm having some trouble jungling with mercury. Could you help me with that too?

(46) |

.... ouch
No mercy

That was a good movie.

Numbers are up to date as of July 19, we've gained 258 new builds and 48 new guides since the last time I updated these numbers (in April).

There are no longer any gods who have no S5 Build or Guide, though there's still quite who have one or more builds but no actual guide (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , & ). I had started working on something for a while back, but following the release of Stuke's guide I'll look into refocusing my efforts.

Speaking of builds & guides, I should mention that god pages now have Next/Prev buttons for every set of 20 builds/guides, making pages of gods with a lot of (old) builds/guides (e.g. ) a lot less painful to navigate.

Edit: forgot to add & to the table (they weren't in it last time because they hadn't been released yet), oops. Updated above numbers to reflect those changes.

Found a new god (that doesn't have S5 guide yet) to make a guide for, fingers crossed I actually finish it this time!!!

(56) |

Sorry Wayne, but it needed to be done.

I was referring to my own history of creating guides but never releasing them (see quote below about my time on MOBAFire), definitely not blaming you for making one ;)

In total, I've started working on guides for 25 different champions, without any of them ever being released.

There's a slight problem with how this site differentiates betweens guides and builds. I looked at the "guides" for and not one of them is a proper guide - they're all builds. I may be spoiled when it comes to what's in actual guides, but I still wouldn't call any of those guides. I'm not saying they're bad, but they're more a list of builds than a guide.

(45) |

You're right, they're not guides. The numbers in the table were pulled directly from the database, but it seems like some of them were slightly incorrect. I've double-checked all of them and adjusted the numbers in my post above to reflect the changes. and have also been added to the list of gods that have builds but no actual guides yet, thanks for the catch :)

should have a guide now. ;)

(143) |

Why not just make the pre-season 5 guides in a expandable list that is closed by default?

(45) |

That's an alternative solution, but we prefer this one for consistency. To put it simply, it ensures that the same set amount of builds/guides (in this case 20) will show on every god page, with the only exception to that scenario being that pages of new gods who don't have 20 builds/guides yet will show less.

If instead we expanded S5 by default and left the rest closed, the pages of and (on one end of the spectrum) would only display 1 entry above the expand button, while (on the other end) would display 21. Also, in the - perhaps somewhat unlikely - scenario in which a god were to get 30-40+ builds/guides made within the same season, the original scrolling issue would persist.

(400) |

Nice, that next/prev should hide a lot of old. That said...next and prev are still confusing, just like they are on the front page, comments section. Giving different terms might be better. Newer/older, something.

(45) |

Hmm, I see what you mean. Will pass that on, thanks.

Currently making a guide for , won't be completed for a long time though since I'm still technically relearning the game. I don't want to release it and then realize I was completely wrong about a whole part of the build or something.

(46) |

Same here with ... I've been meaning to update mine for gods-know-how-long.

(72) |

I intend to do a Guide.
In fact, I already started, and as soon as it is finished I will publish, but no ETA. I want publish directly something like my Guide.
Also, has 2 Guides and one is not updated to season 5 :v

(45) |

As shown at the top of the blog, I've updated all the numbers in the table (and added the old table in a spoiler below it, just for reference).

and are the only two who are still without a S5 Build or Guide; the others I previously mentioned now have at least one S5 Build () or Guide (, ). I'm working on something for myself, but don't have an ETA on that yet.

Outside of that, I noticed there are a lot of Hunters who have Builds but no Guides (e.g. , , , ), can anyone think of a specific reason for that?

(72) |

I guess it's because Mage ADCs such as are better choices than the standart physical ADCs.

(46) |

Apparently hunters are generally in a bad spot right now in S5, so that might have something to do with it.

(46) |

Probably due to midgardian

I honestly have no idea why. I played one game in the entirety of S5 so far as Artemis and got demolished badly. Every drop of desire to pick the game up again sifted away during that game. Oh well.

(33) |

I plan to update my Sobek guide later. Not sure about the other ones tho.

(5) |

No Nemesis guide? Interesting.

(13) |

I can probably go back to all my old guides, and update to be more like my current guide.

(7) |

Perhaps I can update my guide. I’m just not very familiar with the current meta for mage builds. :P

(46) |

I messaged you about this dude. This weekend, let's play some more conquest and you can try out mid.

(400) |

maybe he doesn't want to play with you

Funny because he was playing with me while we were waiting on you to join us. But you flaked and decided to afk in fortnite.

(400) |

Hmmm...did you threaten his family or something?

(46) |

Bran, shut up and just agree to play this weekend >:(

(81) |

never gets any love. :( I thought about updating my guide, but I haven't even played on the new conquest map and I'm not sure how viable he is in the support role. If Emilzy(?) ever does a video on him in support, I may try him out again.

Damn, Wayne, this is the way to do it. Is there any way to automate this to a degree, through the database somehow? Would be extremely helpful to keep track.

(45) |

The devs have given me a set of SQL queries which - with Mowen's help - can be used to retrieve these numbers directly from the database in the future, so I'll be updating this blog from time to time (and posting in reply to it to let you guys know) to track the progress :)
