The Guide

Leoric Versus the World: Shimrra_3's Guide to Leoric

Why we chose this guide?

A certain someone bribed Orochi with Pizza. Oh, and because the guide got 4 votes from Primarchs and Centurions .

aura aura aura aura aura omg aura

be quiet.
now the instant you hit level 9 (about the time i normally have HotD and RoH) you can get someone else to take your lane and gank gank gank then heal on n creeps then gank gank gank while you get a second and third solo, you might want to own your lane for them a but first...

anyway basically, aura > stats IF you don't have a bunch of rudeword-mongering-rudewords for allies ^_^

The Interview:

Ohshi~ What do we do now!? Uhhh uhhhh uhhhhh *puts a 'Shim wig' on a random Australian* I can never tell them apart anyway! NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW!

1) How long did it take you to finish the guide?
all up close to 33 months, I was nearly finished lacking pictures and screenshots when they changed storm bolt, then replays went down. but then everything fixed itself and now I am worshiped even more than I used to be because i have 2 good guides.
RIKIMARU GUIDE SUCKED BALLS! AND WE ALL KNOW IT

2) What did you sacrifice to build this guide?
Sleep, School Revision, Food, you name it I gave it up... well not really, I did it mainly when I was bored or angry at various people *coughGHOSTcough* for thinking that guinsoo orchid was a good build for sandking.
AND IT IS I SWEARS IT, not really, just pulling your leg... and I never tried that build, I hate sandking

3) What did you feel when you made the guide?
well I suppose I felt good, I finished a mid length guide, what really felt good was knowing that CF[x] and Ghost would be really angry at me for suggesting a Battlefury let alone 4 of them.
AND WE ARE ANGRY, WE WILL KILL YOU FOR THIS BLASPHEMY

4) In any point of your guide writing, did you feel like giving up? Why?
well we could start with Icefrog knowing that I was nearly finished then releasing a new map then for the random file upload crash.. they were very annoying but i never really considered quitting.
OMG NEW VERSION JUST AS I WAS FINISHING MIDGAME STRATEGY WHAT KIND OF SHIT IS THIS? ICEFROG I HATE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW!

5) How do you feel about your guide being chosen? Why do you think your guide is worthy of being the Featured Guide of The Month?
Well to start with I think it is great to be chosen for the October Guide of the Month (who wouldn't?) I guess I think it is worthy, luckily the really good guide was published after mine ^_^
that's right lucky... chambermaids have their hidden agenda

6) If you were to list out the good and bad points of your guide, what would they be?
good points, most of it I suppose the from the useless pictures to the radiance sucks argument.
bad points would be... well i guess I'm going to have to go with lack of flexibility, taken a lot of slack over no armlet.
Don't forget the 8 battlefuries is good argument, that really must go. oh and your lack of sense of humor

7) Are you unsatisfied with any part of the guide and wish you could do something else to make it better?
I'm sure there is something I can improve, probably everything, nothing is perfect. Ghost says to scrap it and start again.
would I say that? would I? never, I have class

8 ) Are you planning another guide? And what would it be?
I am thinking about doing a guide on Treant Protector next, I like him because he is another imba tank with an escape skill, 5 second disable and lane control to boot.
really I don't know, this is a hoax after all

9) Do you have any important tips you would like to share with your fellow guidemakers?
if you don't like the hero don't make the guide, it will be crap, and don't assume because you can play a point and click hero you are good enough to make a guide for stealth assassin.
true dat... oh and eat lots of tuna, Shim does.

10) What inspired you to create this guide? Did you get any help at all? What do you feel about DS?
I really really wanted to assert myself as a brilliant guide maker (well not really but hey I need an answer) heaps of help largely from war_wrecker (brother) and Ghost (Zombie Pirate Ghost Robot from school) as they are generally easy to get to and in the case of my brother has no life at all.
lol got to take a stab at your bro shim, but am I right or am I right? oh and I am a ZPGR, always wanted to be one of them

11) Who is your DS crush?
DS crush... well I have to say I have a soft spot for...
wait why am I telling you this, I refuse to tell you this, make that question go away.
YUKINO YUKINO YUKINO... we all know it shim, don't hide it

12) Chambermaids . Your thoughts?
Well I have always had a thing for cleaning my bedroom so a chambermaid seems like a good name for me and your troupe of minions Orochi.
and the insults keep rolling out, Shimrra_3 is a fat middle aged man who had to repeat year 10 eight times

13) Any last words? (Feel free to advertise your links)
I... Love... you... Yukino
oh and check out my other guides.
I KNEW IT! oh and don't forget to check out my stuff too, if you know who I am, elaborate joke is over now
