It might do you good

To have separate
builds for tiger vs
Phoenix. I think that
the prospect of
people going tiger
really overcomplicates
your cheat sheet. -2

Skirmishers increases tiger DoT

damage, yet your cheat sheet
doesn't put points into tiger until
the smite damage bonus
becomes largely irrelevant. -4
I'd much prefer you give some
examples of when you get each
enchantment. Like, if your
teammates are doing well and
few lanes are gankable, then it's
definitely worth it to get
devourer. When you are needed
early on in the game, devourer is
the pits. -4

Pre-Season 6 | In-Depth Tiger Udyr Jungle Guide

http://www.mobafire.com/leagueoflegends/build/phoenixtigerudyrjunglepreseason6youtubeedition439672

Critique of the video. With

timestamps
Video 1:
[5:19] Exactly*** How do you
know when you're wasting time
trying to get a gank off.
Summoner spells,
[6:40] What's even more
important is that you were able to
notice that you could make a play
mid before/during your clear of
gromp. Exactly*** How did you
know that you needed to be mid,
and at that time?
Really try and spoonfeed your
readers. Because they won't
really understand the gravity of
the tips you're giving them unless
you really reiterate them.

Persistent:GrantsUdyrlifestealbasedonlevel.

[8:00] How can you play around

your opponents vision?
[10:50] Just as important as
knowing where your opponent
jungler is, is knowing where they
aren't.
[11:45] How did you know your
opponent jungler wanted to gank
mid? Really spell it out for your
readers
[13:14] If you try and defend a
turret that's being attacked by a
large minion wave + champion,
you're already probably too late
to defend that turret unless you're
already really close. You need to
try to be in position to defend a
turret BEFORE the minion wave
hits the turret.
[14:39] How did you know it was
okay to stay with such little
health? A lot of bads would
probably have recalled there.
[18:30] Good emphasis on wave
pushing with relation to dragon.
I finished the video here. The
videos seems to be OK
Look to add some tips n' tricks to
these abilities. Especially with
turtle stance.
