I will probably discuss with Hades. The category is basically meant for God's with 0 or one true guide from last year. We basically just went with the Gods at the bottom of the list, choosing two from each class.
This was a discussion I had with Hades, and although it's a good idea (I mean, I have multiple guides that are not god-specific, so I support that concept), it was determined that the # of guides like that might not have enough to judge properly...in the end, the "Revival" category was the one that was chosen.
Perhaps Hades can add to this.
I think the reasoning is right on this one. if you look at guides coming in most guides are always god specific ones. Most general guides are from people who have been around longer and in a lot of cases they are not searched for as much as for god guides. Also it's hard to make a good "original" guide in the category as the subjects are slightly limited (you mostly will get role and mode guides)
Hi!, what about guides that aren't for gods? (For example my support guide)... :(
Hello!
We've actually tried running a category for "general guides" on our other websites, MOBAFire and DOTAFire. The category was doing okay but most of the time there weren't enough quality entries to pick worthy winners from.
Right now if you visit our general guides, there are 7 of them (5 of them written by Bran) that have been updated at least once during 2019, which is very underwhelming to have a category for. We might reconsider this for the next guide contest, but for now we wanted to focus more on the Gods that really could use some new quality guides. :)
Thank you for letting us know though, feedback received always influences our decision making!

It's fine, you don't need to add that category next time, i really thought a lot of people had the same idea as me on making general guides but well i guess not, so i'll just work on serqet for the revival category :)
I'm returning to the site with a bang. I'm going to be taking over the Assassin Category. As a multi time masters jungler and former SPL coach I am going to be judging based on depth of information, competitive viability and accessibility to newcomers. If you would like me to take a look at your guide and provide some pointers, please feel free to ask.
