15/50; You definitely have some abnormal rune/item/mastery choices in your

CHEATSHEET
guide - which isn't a bad thing, since most of these things you defend fairly well.
There are some things that i'd like to see changed though (like 0/21/9 instead of
0/16/14 masteries). You danced around a couple important ideas, like the art of
ganking, and i'd like you to elaborate on some of those sections. I'd also like to
see a little bit more content added on "When CAN I catch a carry?", or "how to
initiate team fights", among other things. Overall a pretty nice guide to read

This is just confusing. Your

WEEKLY FREE CH
notes aren't helpful imo.
This is supposed to be a
cheat sheet, so that if
people don't read your full

guide, they'll still be able to
know the items they can
build. I'd recommend

MORE GU
stratifying this a little, or
adding something to your

This seems weird. I'd much rather just have the raw
defensive stats from honor guard, and other things
in the deep defensive mastery tree than a little gold
income and spellvamp. With that in mind, you need
to ask yourself, "How much sustain am i REALLY
getting from this 3% spellvamp?" -2
