Description
"When they see this, they'll run for cover!"
The 2nd build in the "Concerns of The Deep" series, made for beginners and for fun. They are not aimed to be the most meta builds.
This one is oriented around the Goo Ball (4). You'll be ballin' all around the map and disrupting team fights! Extra credit goes to VeMi!

Welcome to Deadlock! So you want to play Viscous but don't know where to start? This build will help you learn his most difficult playstyle: Ball Disruption! Goo Ball (4) is difficult to use. Active items like Warp Stone & Phantom Strike are your strongest tools, and will make your life easier. Going fast at all time is not always the answer, it makes steering the ball way harder. Don't be afraid to slow down to take sharp turns! You can press CTRL twice to downdash. When double jumping for height, wait until your first jump hit its highest point before jumping again. You can use The Cube (2) to change direction (180°), by using it on yourself during Goo Ball (4). Join the Viscous Discord: discord.gg/viscord
