Item categories

1How to play this build?optional
Author's category · 0 items · You're untradeable against gunners go lane against Ventor or Vindicta and destroy them. Mid-game, adapt: for solo roaming and tempo, upgrade lane items into Point Blank and Weighted Shots for insane slows. For team fights, stick to Core for AoE radius. TURN ON YOUR MIC and call for T2, Mid Boss, or Rift whenever your ult is up. Rush in with the banner your giant model blocks your squishy teammates with your shields being literally the size of a quarter of your HP bar while zone damage reduction keeps everyone alive
