Of the upcoming rotation, I'm most excited to try Evelyn, Kalista, and Galio. Any tips for those would be appreciated, as well as any recommendations for champs similar to Urgot, Illaoi, Darious, and Ornn.

Evelynn needs to either get early kills or power farm because if you can get fed on her she can do some disgusting things provided you can hit your charms.

Galio lately has been going full AP because his magic shield gives him enough lane tankyness than you won't be punished for it often. I've seen Galio's take a Zoe paddle to the face and not even lose all their shield.

I do like that bard actually gets damage and experience for simply roaming, whether he gets kills or not. My favorite dota support was Venomancer mainly for his roaming potential, I'm looking forward to trying bard when he's available.

If you like being a tanky brawly shithead similar to Ornn who dumps a fat bunch of CC on people who get in his face and an ult with a disgustingly low cooldown and excellent engage potential: Try Sion.

If you like Illaoi/Darius' style of "Bully the enemy laner until the jungler comes up, and then 2v1 the enemy top and jungler", may I tell you about the wonderful world of Yorick?

The Republic of Luna Equestria is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, cynical population of 714m are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich.

How did you guys not tell me about Akali!

Popularity in pro is almost a nerf in itself as people will just hear something's OP without ever actually thinking about why. So they try to all in at L2 and get fuckstomped because Ryze takes a while to fully come online.

Attack move. You press A and click the ground, and it will move you toward that location until something is in range to attack, then you'll attack it. There's a lot more technical stuff you can do with it too, but it's primarily good for chasing into bushes and such.

Asol isn't even in the jungle for those recorded games, since he doesn't have smite. He's the midlaner but he roams so often the algorithm decides he's a jungler.

surviving is cool, but there is no shame in dying for a good cause. needless deaths are the problem. if you trade 1-1 when the jungler shows up this can be better than not dying and letting them gang up and gently caress up your tower for instance, but judging these sorts of things is really hard to do except in hindsight

I've seen him as a legit jungler in diamond a few times. Would not recommend unless you're already an asol master though.

I was dying for literally no reason, lately as I've played I haven't seen a good shot to dive for a kill so I've backed off instead of running in like I was

So my kills are staying about where they were but my deaths are way lower
