Introduction / Updates / Upcomming

I've played League of Legends since 2011, but have stopped since I got into Smite Beta. LoL got boring, repetitive, and easy.

First guide I've made, enjoy :)

Leave feedback if you agree/disagree

Thank You

Updates - 9/19/12 : Gave more detail on item explanations

Upcoming - Soon : More detail on skills

Skills

  • Once your pushing a lane and have all but their archers down use your Flutter to boost forward and land Heart Bomb on a non-tank then auto attack them down.
  • If you can't land your Heart Bomb then don't play Cupid.
  • Make sure your Lovestruck has 10 stacks on it (land 10 auto attacks on minions/gods/towers).
  • In team fights make sure your Lovestruck is active when you Fields Of Love so it will STUN everyone inside of it after 3 seconds.

Items

  • Next we move onto devourer's gloves this item in my opinion should be used on almost every AD melee / AD range God. At max stacks (that you do not ever lose) you get +50 Physical Damage and 20% Life-steal. Sometimes I finish boots sometimes I don't at this point. I normally lane until I can buy Heartseeker outright ($1950).
  • Now we get Heartseeker this item is how you will gank effectively and safetly. With full stacks you will get +85 Physical Damage. This will make or break a good Cupid if you can keep your stacks at 40 most of the game by using Flutter to get away then you will dominate. Do not hesitate to use Fields Of Love after you Flutter to ensure you do not die. Dying is not an option
  • The next item is the Frostbound Hammer between this item and Heart Bomb no one will be able to escape from your ganks. Also this item makes you a bit more durable as it adds +325 HP (main reason I get it) and adds a little bit of Physical damage which your skills benefit from. Bottom line this item will save your life and get you at least one kill every game.
  • We finish out our damage items with Deathbringer you will see a huge spike in damage once your finish this item. Normally by the time you get this item the other team will be surrendering cause your fed, and if they don't then you'll be making someone rage quit very soon :)
  • Now we need to focus on your durability in team fights, I always go magi's blessing first unless the other team has a fed God that uses Physical Attacks - at that point I get Hide of the Nemean Lion.

Summary / General Tips

  • If you die more than 3-4 times then your playing too aggressive.
  • When you do die then try to get 15-20 stacks back by clearing minions before you try to gank someone.
  • Odds are there is a lane that needs to be pushed anyway or you died cause u were under leveled due to trying to gank too much. In either case you need the exp, gold, and the stacks are just a bonus, but needed to gank successfully.

  • The Second Build is a bit more boring but very viable, try it out if your doing bad with the first build or until you get the hang of Cupid.


  • Never under any circumstance do you buy a Fatalis on any God that is currently in the game
  • Here's the Best explanation I've found on why Click Here
  • The way to win all MOBA games is to be patient and attack when you know you can win.
  • Watch your Mini Map Constantly and inform your team what is going on in your lane by using the "V" commands AND what's going on in other lanes if you have noobs on your team.
DO NOT BE AFRAID TO RUN YOU DO ZERO DAMAGE IF YOUR DEAD

PROS
-I know I post this as a pro for almost every review, but I LOVE VARIETY..... that is all.
-Builds are very solid.
-Grammar and spelling is good and all.

CONS
-Not enough colour.
-Not enough detail on each particular item and ability.
-Lacking a lot in the amount of chapters.


ADD MORE! Simple as that. As of right now, there isn't enough information, and it looks quite bland, with minimum colour use.

FINAL VERDICT
Like I've stated, this guide is lacking in a lot of areas, and there can be a lot more information. This guide isn't bad though.
6/10 which is No vote.
Make some improvements and it will most definitely push the rating up.
