Description

This is a personal build that I'm trying to make a somewhat flexible so other Hollidays can have an easier time learning the character. This is by no means meant to be a "good" build but something flexible enough to get your feet wet. The goal of the build is to focus on her barrels to melt or even soften enemies to win teamfights or get picks! I'm still learning myself so if you want to edit the build in any way, feel free to! Thanks to the Air, Alcholic Girlfailure for the help!

Philosophy

Holliday is a highly mobile burst character. This build aims to use her barrels to deal massive damage and get the user comfortable with her tools. Use your jump-pad and active items to harass the enemy and tip fights in your team's favor! You want to fight as much as possible and have the mobility to do so!0 items

Aiming

Unfortunately, you ARE going to have to learn to aim well... On the bright side, you are often in the perfect position TO practice aiming well! Using the jump-pads almost always put you in the air above your enemies and/or minions and you won't always have a barrel to throw! So shoot them! Remember: going for a headshot and hitting their body stilll does damage!0 items

Counterbuying

LEARN TO COUNTERBUY! Buying the right item can kill the enemy lane or counter an enemy team or build! Venator got you down? buy supressor or rusted barrel! Infernus running circles arond you? Buy slowing hex! Billy saying slurs? Buy decay and watch as he begs for the game to end! You have the slots to buy! Knowing what and when to is a skill worth learning and opens a whole new fun dynamic of the game to play!0 items

Movement

Movement can be intimidating or otherwise hard to learn in this game. The jump-pad, basic double-jumping, and dashing is enough to get you going and even win you some games! But if you want to get the most out of Deadlock's movement tech, Holliday is a fun way to get started! Her jump-pads give her 100% air strafing control, allowing her a lot of air-mobility! Combining this with wall jumps and a bit strafe dashing, you can start to see how this character can get around!0 items
