Hey Pellie,

Commenting a bit more now that the contest is over.

With BoV as your 2nd item, how important is first? I'm thinking that for Jungle, the early aggression and pen from might be more core than Focus. I know you mention in the items section below that you can switch between the two, but I'm feeling that Magi might be the better choice? The long CD on means that it's unlikely that you'll use it more than once in a fight, and conversely, has a low CD and you don't need more than 20% early for camp clear and other things...

In your skills section, a bit of explanation as to why you level one skill over others would be good to add. I mean, it's pretty obvious for regulars, but for people not used to , it might help them understand.

Also, separating large blocks of text into a couple of smaller paragraphs might be nicer on the eyes for reading.

Anyway, great job on your guide, and would love to see more from you.

First off, great guide. It's well written, detailed, and useful for beginners. I do think that wrath should be placed in the situational section though. While hog can be useful against high pressure solo-jungle combos like , the issue with hog is that it takes up a relic spot that purification or a teamfight relic that meditation or shell could occupy. Cherryo from Sanguine actually elects to go purification himself to combat the usually high cc the enemy team has. On top of that, hog isn't really vital for clear either. Ymir's already does 90 damage at level one, with his autos dealing a lot of damage to camps with . So 's clear is already good. Wrath is just meant to relieve pressure from potential invades by speeding up clear.

Update!

Fixed a mistake in the Frostbite section; it applies to multiple targets.
Added Polynomicon to the item selection.
Fixed some inconsistencies with the formant.
Added new chapter on how viable Ymir actually is in jungle.
Added tier list.
Added Dynasty Plate Helm to the item selection.

The section still needs that other correction on "damage increase on his next attack." It's a 4 second duration.

Nice additions by the way, and thanks for explaining your opinion on his viability. FYI, I've added reference to your guide on the Conquest guide.

I know, it was said before already, but your guide is really well done- it looks very neat (aspecially as for the first one) and shows that the person making it was willing to spend time on some research regarding formatting issues as well as establishing a certain style.

I was just thinking; as your items' and abilities' descriptions are detailed and contain lots of helpful information- is putting the abilities in the spoiler even necessary? I'd say that the abilities' explanations could be debatably considered even more important than the items' ones, and thus should be seen by default.

Also, talking about items- what would you think about adding a to the situational choices? Even though it does require a considerable amount of power in the build to be maximally effective, there surely are games when happens to get fed and can afford building mostly damage.

Can't tell whether you know this but seeing that you answered to Bran yet the small mistake in "Frostbite only proccs on one single target" is still there, I just thought I could inform/remind you of the fact that when you want for your changes to be seen by everyone you have to "publish" your guide again; it won't make a new copy as one could fear but will just actually update it.

And hey, overall it was really pleasant to read; with a kind touch of "Bye!" at the end- easy upvote, keep it up!

I added to the situational items. I didn't add it prior because I personally don't like it unless you're mostly damage; but it is a popular item so thank you for the suggestion.
For the skills, I like them better hidden under spoilers because I'm assuming people are here for the build instead of how to use his skills and what situations to use them in. And, if they want more information they can just unhide them. I can get rid of them if that would help though.
I also just fixed the error.

Thank you for the upvote and compliments. I especially appreciate that you think it looks neat, this is my first time doing this and I'm very new to code so it means alot. :)

This is fantastic for your first guide! Thanks for taking the effort to write out all the item and gameplay explanations, as well as pretty it up. +1 :)

Hi Pellie,

Welcome to SF! Wow, great job so far on your first guide! It's got a lot of information on abilities, item choices, and gameplay. I haven't read through it all yet (will do so tonight, I think), but I do have a couple of comments.

Skill leveling: I understand and generally agree. I do want to point out that you can level your ult at 17 instead of 18, and wonder why you choose to level Ice Wall at 17 instead. Just 1 more second...difference between 4 and 5 seconds, at that point, seems less important than another level in your ult.
Pros/Cons formatting: your Cons section starts higher than the Pros. Easy way to fix that is at the start of Cons, hit enter one or two times, and see again how it lines up. Or, perhaps you pressed enter one or two too many times at the end, since Cons is a shorter list? Either way, just pointing it out.
Unless I'm mistaken, Frostbite is applied to ANY enemy (minion or god) that is hit by a damaging ability...you state it's only a single target. ALSO, you state it applies on his next basic attack. It's not a single effect like Hydra's Lament's passive...it has a duration of 4 seconds, and so can easily apply for multiple basics.

In any case, will go over the rest of this guide later. Hope this is helpful!

Thank you for the reply and all your points are absolutely correct. I'm new to this kind of stuff so it's really nice for you to give helpful advice; I'll make sure to fix it now.

Finished reading, and will say that you explain things well, and we get an understanding of why you choose items, when you do, etc. Side note: on the Pros/Cons, you now have a bunch of head space. Also don't forget to fix the info in the section.

This next comment isn't anything really to do with the guide quality, just curious.

I know picking up BoV alleviates your early mana issues, but wonder if you've tried the + combo for good, cheap power and pen (and maybe just get a couple mana potions for the mana issue). Thinking the CDR is more important for teamfights later in the match, so other than , you might be able to get away without it for a bit.

Also, and this is a question not just for you but other experienced players as well...how viable IS as Jungler? I don't know why, but I never listed him in the Conquest guide. Thinking I should probably add him in the list...?

Also, I'm really struggling with the Pros/Cons section, if you could help me that'd be fantastic. :D

(401) |

I think you just need to get rid of some spaces somewhere...either at the top of pros, or the top of cons, or both, but not sure...I'd need to see the true code. I'd just suggest editing and viewing to experiment.

I haven't actually tried Dynasty plate too often on . It probably is a really good pick and I just forgot about it. I'll try it today and see if it's worth as a core item later today. Also, added new section to show how viable is based on your question. He's just above average but he gets outclassed by pretty hard.

I wouldn't really know since I've never tried it myself, but it seems to work for a lot of people.

This is my first guide so please take it easy on me haha. Also, I will try to update it so please give me some ideas you'd like the see in the future! :D
