What you will find in this archive

This is a written archive of the classic era: the tiered rune pages, the 21/9 mastery allocations, the item paths and the skill orders, with a note on each champion explaining how the build is actually played and which lanes it loses. Start from a champion, from a lane, or from the tier list — every route lands on the same guides.

The numbers are not a memory of 2013. They are measured weekly from the live Classic queue on the current patch, and every page carries the patch and the date its data was collected. Where a build has no statistics behind it — the off-meta pages, for instance — the page says so in place of pretending otherwise.

The assets are the originals. Icons, runes, masteries and items are served from Data Dragon at patch 3.13.1, which is why the old tiered runes and the Offense / Defense / Utility trees look the way you remember rather than like modern stand-ins.
