My Top 5 Heroes for Ranking

In the current season, there are lots of game adjustments. From items, jungle monster, heroes skill adjustments and optimization of the skills. My current rank is Epic III. In this rank, the most commonly banned heroes are Lunox, Aldous, Harith, and Claude. But aside from them, there are many heroes you can use that has a high percentage of winning if you work correctly.

My top 5 are all based on my experience and personal opinion.

TOP 5

HELLCURT

Hellcurt is good in surprise attack. His ultimate skill is very useful for him and his teammate as it limits your opponent's sight. Hellcurt was good in mid game and late game. The only weakness I noticed using Hellcurt is, you need a good teammate that can come with you if you will go ganking in early game, if you build your core items late it will be hard for you to carry the game because of the disadvantage in damage that you can inflict.

My 3 core items for Hellcurt is Blade of Despair for damage in the early game because as I mentioned Hellcurt was good in mid and late game. Then Demon Hunter Sword for attack speed and extra damage and small amount of life steal in a short period of time, lastly Corrosion Scythe for additional attack speed and slow enemies that escaping, this item will give you additional 50 attack so if you will combine BOD (Blade of Despair), DHS (Demon Hunter Sword) and CS (Corrosion Scythe) you already have  255 physical attack. With this 3 items you can easily kill the opponents marksman or assassin.

HARLEY

Magic type heroes are best in the early game. Harley can easily burst marksman, mage, or assassin. As I said Harley is an early game hero, so I usually go mid lane and rotate as soon as I got my level 4 skill. My Harley game play has a similarity in assassin heroes, where I let my teammate clash and wait for the opponent skills used up before I enter the fight. I also ambush heroes that go alone. My 3 core items for Harley after I build arcane boots are Lightning Truncheon, for early game additional damage. According to the item the additional damage of the Lightning Truncheon depends on the maximum mana of your enemy. Second is Concentrated Energy, this item gives you 25% spell vamp and additional 700 HP that give you the extra durability. Third is Clock of Destiny to sustain your damage until late game as it stacks your magic power every 30 seconds. Those are my core items for Harley, after you build these three items the following items will depend on your game play and the team composition of your opponent.

FANNY

Fanny is the hardest hero to use. Her cable is complicated, but with the proper practice you can use her and become a trouble for your enemies. My build for Fanny is based only on top players in the in game live stream. I watched them and try their build and customized it based on my game style. My build for Fanny starts with a Hunter’s Knife and upgrade it to Beast Killer if you have more than one mage opponent or Raptor Machete for physical penetration. Then proceed to build Blade of Despair, with +170 physical damage. With BOD and blue buff, you can kill easily, then escape as soon as level 2. Second item is Warrior Boots, some players said that it is not useful which is wrong. Armor boots gives you extra armor plus 40 movement speed. In case Fanny used up her energy with Warrior Boots you can still move easily when chasing or running away from enemies. The third item is the most important, the Bloodlust axe, which gives you +10% cooldown reduction and +20% spell vamp. With Fanny’s cable plus her first skill will be triggered when passing an enemy, she can easily gain HP at the same time bursting them. These are my core items for Fanny just like before, the following build will always depend on your enemy.

GUSION

Gusion is a mage/assassin hero. He is my current best pick, I use Gusion since I was in Elite division. I always go in middle lane to rotate and secure objectives such as jungle monster, buff, crab and turtle. When I'm in the middle lane, my first build is Pillager Axe for jungling  and Rapid boots for movement speed for my rotation. When i acquired level 4 skill I can start rotating to top and bottom lane, with his ultimate skill, I can easily burst my opponent. Plus his passive help him to inflict more damage even tank heroes. Gusion's passive gives him extra damage in basic attack equivalent to the enemies lost HP, this passive triggers when he cast his skills 3 times. My core items for Gusion is Lightning Truncheon, for damage in early game, Concentrated Energy for spell vamp and additional HP and Fleeting time for cool down reduction for assist or killing an enemies. As the match become longer, we need more cool down reduction  to trigger his passive. Gusion is not that good for late game.

LANCELOT

For my top 1, I choose Lancelot. Unlike Gusion Lancelot is a physical assassin, this means every time you build attack items your basic attack also grows. Gusion's basic attack growth depends on his level, so if you cast all of your skill already and your opponent survive, you are in a bad situation. For Lancelot, he still have a chance to kill the enemy with his passive that decrease his opponents defense plus a consecutive hits. Just like Gusion I also mastered Lancelot, I also go middle lane when I'm using him. My first build for him is Pillager Axe and Rapid boots for rotation. My 3 core items for Lacncelot are Endless Battle for extra true damage after casting a skill, this suits for Lance since he is a skill type will low cool down skills. After Endless I build Blade of Despair to increase Endless Battle true damage so I can easily burst my enemies. And last, Berserker's Fury. This gives you 25% critical chance plus his passive, you can dish out huge amount of damage in an instance.

Those are my Top 5 heroes that can help you rank up. This doesn't means that heroes that are not in the list are not good, It still depends on the situation. Hopes that I help you with this list. At the end of the day, what ever hero you use, It still depends on the skills of the user.
