Intro Top

Hey guys! This is TheOrangeOreo. I usually use Ringo, Glaive, Adagio or Krul. I've been playing for a few months before the major Joule update, so I guess I'm kinda experienced. (I use a different username ingame). This will be the first guide I'll make, and in it, I'm going to give some tips on how to work well with your teammates and to get the win.

Choosing Your Hero Top

The game already starts during the team queuing screen. Before you choose your hero, you should first check who your teammates are building. If both of your teammates choose low-health heroes, then maybe you should get someone tanky like Glaive or Joule. If both of them are getting ranged heroes, then maybe you should choose someone melee. Always analyze your teammates' choices before making yours. It will really help during team fights.

Early Game Top

0:00-5:00

Always get two health potions. At the start of the game. They save lives. The other 399 gold you have is up to you to spend. If you plan on going farming first, choose the ironguard contract. Also, check on what your teammates' choices are. If they're both building weapon power, build crystal, and vice versa. If all of you are building one kind of power, then the enemy team will easily beat you if they choose the right defense items.

If one of your teammates is either Adagio, Ringo, or Saw, let them lane by themselves. It is best to let them lane while you and your teammate jungle. If you're using either Adagio or Ringo, and your teammate is Saw, let Saw lane while you jungle because Saw is the best laner in the game.

When jungling, don't steal your teammates' kills. That simply isn't cool. Always stay near each other just in case an enemy shows up. If you think you're ready, start jungling on your enemy's side. Ask your teammate to go with you by using the "GO" sign. If your teammate does this to you, confirm by using the "OMW" or deny by using "AVOID".

Once the mining starts, get the minion mine right away. You need the advantage as early as possible. If possible, get the minion mine in your opponent's side, but be careful. Don't get the gold mine right away. It isn't practical. Get the gold mine only when you see the gold mine's clock thing is more than half. If you get it before that, the payout isn't worth it.

When getting the mines, be careful just in case an enemy is in the bushes ready to take the last hit. Use your abilities on the mines to ensure you get the last hit.

Continue jungling until midgame.

Middle Game Top

5:00-15:00
    At this point, you should always check if your teammates are in a fight, and always rush to help them out. If your enemy gets the gold from killing your teammate, your enemy gets an advantage.

    If one of your turrets is destroyed, focus on the lane. If not, continue jungling. Always jungle near your mines and check them regularly so your enemies won't steal them.

    Always stick to your build. If your enemies are destroying all of you badly, like if they have around 10 kills by this time then you should start thinking about getting a defense item. Choose the defense item that you think will work. If you see that your enemies are building crystal, get reflex block or dragonheart to defend yourself from their abilities' burst damage. If they're building weapon power, get coat of plates.

    By around 7:00-8:00 you should have a tier 3 item. If not, then you better start farming like hell because you're pretty behind. You will need the power of a tier 3 item to survive the fights in midgame, unless your teammate helps you out.

    This is the time people start killing each other and team fights frequently occur, so you should stick with a teammate unless you're confident about your survivability.

    If you're not Ringo, then you should have boots by now so you can run away from your enemies.

    Always ask help from your teammates if you see an enemy because your enemy will probably ask help from their teammates too.

    Around 10:00, start attacking the lane so you'll have a chance of finishing before the Kraken comes out.

Late Game Top

15:00-End

    The gold mine dies and the Kraken comes out woohoo.

    Keep on building.

    Don't be crazy. If you're not Krul with Eve of Harvest, don't try to solo the Kraken.

    If you have not aced the enemy team, don't try to solo the Kraken.

    If you have not scattered the bushes with Scout Traps, don't try to solo the Kraken.

    As much as possible, try to capture the Kraken with your teammates. That way, if an enemy pops up, you can kill him quickly.

    When fighting the Kraken, always check the bushes around him just in case there is an enemy waiting to steal the hit.

    Always have a flare gun to check if your enemies are trying to get the Kraken.

    If you have a feeling your enemies are attacking the Kraken, check the area and stay near the Kraken but stay in the bushes to see what's going on. If they are, be ready to use your ultimate to steal the kill. Timing is important.

    If you think you're alrwdy doing well, just bully the lane with your teammates. The enemy team will be too focused on defending their turrets to attack the Kraken.

    Always stick together when attacking turrets, but be careful if your opponents have ultimates with massive area of effect damage.

General Tips Top

    Never underestimate your opponent. Each character's ability can be surprising if used correctly.

    Never give up! The tides can turn with an ace or by stealing the Kraken, or by getting the right item.

Conclusion Top

So yeah, those are all the tips I can give. I hope you guys liked this guide! Have fun dominating!
