You are not support.

I swear, nobody knows how to play Rem properly. Dedicating a whole build only to fill a support role is a shameful waste of his kit. Tag along should be less of a "jump to heal my allies at the first possible opportunity" and more of a "this is my bungee rope to save myself after dealing a huge burst of damage".0 items

...so?

Rem is one of the most powerful heroes during lane. Not just because he can heal his fellow laner AS WELL AS the minions pushing in, but also because his gun, which may seem weak at first, is excellent at base values. I put healing booster in the optional lane category because sometimes you will simply not need it. Tag along alone, if you use it properly (or you just get lucky and have some skill diff enemies) is often enough to keep both you and your laner at 75% or higher HP.0 items

The Pillow.

Your tool of mayhem. One of the highest bursts of damage in the game. Also, your cooldown reducer - a lot of people don't even notice that scoring pillow hits reduces ALL your other abilities' cooldowns, inculding your ultimate. With your pillow you can finish off enemies who would have otherwise gotten away during teamfights, displace enemies hiding under guardians, clear whole minion waves in a single swoop, and so much more. Remember, you are as important in teamfights as you are at fixing lanes, due to your other powerful abilities...0 items

Tag along.

Your lifeline if things get dire in a teamfight, or anywhere else really, you will use this tool to escape and surprise your enemy with your whole health bar restored. Tag along can be used on teammates, but also on minions, which I often see underutilized. In lane, tagging along to a minion BEFORE your teammate can help to put more pressure on the enemies, and let your next wave push in deeper before they realize it. Of course, this is your lifeline, but it is also your teammates' lifeline. If you ever see somebody getting ganked and losing a 1v1, you must serve as the guardian angel to turn the tides around. Remember though, to pick your fights CAREFULLY. You are the squishiest hero, and you take the most melee damage. If a situation looks like it might be impossible to get away from after you do your job, you should consider not engaging...0 items

Helpers.

Arguably your most powerful ability. If you have good macro and the enemies don't interrupt you, you WILL become the most farmed up person in the lobby very quickly. Helpers should be put on lanes first, though there are exceptions. If the timer is approaching 8 minutes and you have one free helper, keep it. You will need it to steal the enemy sinner and deny them souls. With helpers, minions become your best buddies. Seeing an unassuming Rem alone on lane might tempt a roamer hero such as Haze or Drifter to try and pick you off in a 1v1, but that's where you unsheath your secret weapon. You fight back, but any time you drop to low health, you retreat into your helper minions using Tag Along. You are the definition of strength in numbers. While you hop between your minions, making your enemy play a cursed game of whack-a-mole, you heal all the way back up, and you let your pillow go off cooldown for another strike. Helpers, in conjunction with Tag Along, can also help to save your teammates from REALLY dire situations. Remember that you can self-cast them while you are napping on your teammates, for an extra burst of spirit resistance and speed for your teammate to help them get out of sticky situations.0 items

Naptime.

DO NOT PROCRASTINATE ON USING THIS ABILITY - unless your team is planning to contest an objective such as the urn or midboss. Because every pillow hit takes 5 seconds off of your other abilities' cooldowns, you will be restoring your ult charge quickly every single time it's on cooldown. Tier 3 gives you unstoppable for the duration of the cast, which may be a really unpleasant surprise to an enemy Holliday or Dynamo trying to stop you. We prioritize upgrading other abilities first, but that does not at all mean that Rem's ultimate is weak. Remember to participate in teamfights whenever you're done putting Helpers on lanes, and call out who you put to sleep. You are your teammates' designator with this ability, and in a pinch, you can provide some serious area denial - unless the enemies want to tank the sleep and find out just how much burst damage you can do between your pillow and Arctic Blast - before you inevitably disappear into one of your fellow teammates who will finish the job while you sleep soundly alongside them.0 items

Rem is tiny.

Around the map are tunnels which can only be accessed by Ava or Rem. Memorize their locations, they are yet another advantage you posess over your enemies. If you're ever caught alone, weave around corners and don't let your pursuers land a shot on you as this locks you out from retreating into the tunnels. They are your lifeline if all else goes wrong. They are also a lovely place to do a quick box run if you have the time to spare.0 items

Never enough Helpers.

Aside from the things I mentioned about Helpers earlier, it also pays to know that they have a greatly reduced cooldown on "menial" tasks, such as running boxes, doing Sinner's Sacrifices, and going shopping. Yes, they can go shopping for you if you queue an item. They can even do it in the ENEMY SHOP ON LANE, which allows you to keep pressure without backing away in lane while your lane buddy goes to do his shopping.0 items

...more Helpers?

Helpers also distribute souls gathered from cleared minion waves evenly across your whole team if there is no hero around them. If you put Helpers on lanes effectively (e.g. 2 on green, 2 on yellow) and leave to help with a teamfight happening on blue, you are providing insane value to your team. Not only are you clearing waves from across the map, you also help everyone get more souls and maybe even damage the enemies' objectives, if they don't pay attention. Remember that the highest value from putting 2 helpers on a minion wave is putting them on the brawler and healer.0 items

About Tag Along...

In a chaotic teamfight, NOBODY is going to notice you napping on a teammate or minion. Use this to your advantage. Tag along can be recast once per eligible target (teammate or Helper minion). Remember to ALWAYS GET FULL VALUE from tag along if possible. What I mean is, if you find yourself in a situation where you're napping on one teammate, don't just jump out once you've healed yourself to full. Stay on. Listen to the ticking counter. Whenever you're about to get ejected automatically, recast Tag Along and nap along another teammate or minion. In a teamfight, this kind of whack-a-mole playstyle allows you to find the perfect moment to either finish off an enemy at low health or provide support to a teammate in need. Note that you can also cast helpers while napping. If you ever run out of targets to Tag Along to, but you're not quite ready to jump out yet, you can always create an extra target. Just cast Helpers on a nearby minion and Tag Along to it. Need more time and have spare Helpers? Why not do it again? You are an unseen threat, and the moment you jump out you turn the tide of the fight.0 items

Tag Along in lane.

It is especially vital to use tag along to its full effectiveness in lane, since your health is the most important currency then. The ideal case scenario is that you use it as soon as possible, but not before you have one or two helper minions active. That way, you can do a frankly stupid push, deal some damage, then recast tag along three times (minion -> minion -> lane buddy) and you're back at full. And you healed your wave. And you put pressure on the enemy. And you healed your teammate. And you're proud of yourself.0 items

Limit testing.

Look, I could tell you all of these tips, but like with any hero, you will never learn the true limits of your kit without dying a lot. Eventually though, you will be able to tell which fights are worth taking, which jungle routes are safe to clear, all at a single glance of your minimap. Go now.0 items
