Hello, this is Gandimeraa and this is my Mercury guide. The reason I made this guide is that I had a very hard time learning to play Mercury, and most of the guides on Smitefire only include an item and ability list and no explanation on the actual god. I hope this guide will help you skip the steps I had to take to learn to play Mercury.
Take this if there is an Ares or Hades on the other team, otherwise you can get much better actives for Mercury.
Take this upgrade from HoG. This helps you gank, and you can combo it with special delivery to get a throw + stun.
Get this if your playing a Freya, Zeus, Thor, Loki, or Thanatos.
Get this if and only if you are ahead don't get it just to get it. If you fall behind with this upgrade it into support instead.
This is Mercury's bread and butter skill, it gains a little base damage each rank, and a larger radius each rank. To make this skill effective you need either a golden bow rage or deathbringer for on-hit effects or late game it does absolutely nothing. This skill has a very long delay, so make sure to lead your opponents. You can combo this with special delivery to get a guaranteed hit or use it when you needed just one more basic attack.This is a steroid and also a escape in certain situations like vs. Artemis or Arachne. This is very good in the jungle as it increases your single target damage significantly. You can max this second or last depending on whether you need more damage or a better escape. I usually combo this with special delivery to do increased damage while they are in your range. Early game this has a pretty long cooldown so use it wisely.This is arguably Mercury's most useful ability. This ability does an outstanding amount of damage, but also disorients the enemy making them face in a random direction. One thing to worry about is that mercury doesn't stop when he hits another god, he keeps going... I have died countless times by going for a kill with Sonic Boom and running into a turret. Use this either for an execute, to save a tower, or to initiate. Try your best not to use it as an escape since its one of Mercury's strongest abilities.
Add some suggestions in the comments below, I will check this guide as many times as I can.

This is hardly in-depth. You have little info on the build, as if you expect the players to know what you're thinking. While that would be nice, they can't...
Your abilities section basically says "This is good, it basically can do this". You give no explanation on how to use them, what the goods and bads are, and you have a picture of the passive but nothing on it etc...
Your aggressive vs. stupid section is, well, probably the only useful thing here, because you're absolutely right there.
I won't say much on the build because I try not to judge a build unless I've tested it myself.
If you want to call a guide in-depth, give some info. This guide looks like it took five minutes to make. Mine took four hours, and look at the difference. This guide is nowhere NEAR informative, so if you want to keep the name you should add a considerable amount of info.
One more thing: You'll want to check the guide more often than 3 times a week. In suggesting that you'll check it that infrequently, you are further showing the lack of effort you put into this guide.
