(Updated) Annotated Support Kelvin, Steeli

Author's notes

Timing is everything. Kelvin is on the move and every second counts. Early, use dome to force skirmishs. Mid-late game, use items and dome to split fights or counter key enemy abilities. This takes awareness and premeditation using "what if" scenarios. Effective domes take hero mastery & matchup knowledge. Become a teamfight GOD. IN HERE I AM KING.
