Playstyle Suggestions - Laning Phase
'||' MATCHUPS: Silver struggles against heroes with a lot of effective range (Doorman, Geist, Holiday, Kelvin, McGinnis, Mina, Mirage, Seven, Sinclair, Viscous). Do not lane against 2 of them together, they will stomp you and then stomp your team. It's almost unavoidable to fight 1 of these, so make sure your partner doesn't match bad against them as well. Buy optionals that make these matchups easier. IMPORTANT: Sinclair specifically will be a nightmare once he has his ultimate, since he will have wolf every 28 seconds. DO NOT LANE AGAINST SINCLAIR. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- '||' ABILITIES: Slam Fire (1) has immense raw damage if you can hit it, always unlock it first. Bola is ok as a 2nd unlock if your lane partner has high burst damage, but usually Kick (2) is better due to also having high early damage and comboing well into everything else. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- '||' LANE AP: Your first priority should be level 2 Slam Fire (1) because it's your highest damage source in human form. Then, level 1 Kick (2) to dash away from bad situations and further damage (you can get this before level 2 Slam Fire if you build Spirit Strike / Melee Lifesteal, but it's generally worse). Then, get level 2 Lycan Curse (Ult) to make sure you get a kill whenever you use it. Afterward, get level 2 Kick for the -9s cd in wolf (your best chase/run tool). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- '||' SUSTAIN: Restorative Shot is the best lane sustain, just be mindful of the cooldown (shoot a hero when item is off cooldown if you can see them, otherwise it's ok to hit a minion instead). Melee Lifesteal is also really good in lane, just light melee a hero or use Kick (2) for an instant 100 heal (don't be greedy if you can't). Extra Regen is preferable over Melee Lifesteal if you're struggling in the lane. Don't be afraid to buy two of these items. It's never a waste, they're cheap items to stay alive. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- '||' ULTING IN LANE: Lycan Curse gives you immense burst damage. You will passively just build it up from fighting in lane, try to keep the meter at around 50-60%. It builds up from just being shot at, so you might be more successful playing a little more passively at this point, since you risk wasting a lane-winning ult. When you have a decent amount of meter and an enemy is somewhat around half, try to coordinate with your lane partner and rush them down. 2 -> 3 -> 1 and proc ult; wolf should then easily be able to finish off almost every hero. Try to save your Leap (wolf 2) to chase when run away. If you can't get the right conditions to ult OR you can't confirm the kill but ulted anyway, **don't be greedy** and run away. Staying alive is always more important.0 items
