The ONLY way to play Ringo
Ringo is a hero which everyone associates as a lane player, someone who should only be in the jungle in order to assist his team mates. However, if you struggle with last hitting in lane, or simply want a new challenge then this guide is for you.
If played right, then Ringo has the potential to deal more burst damage than almost anyone else in the game. Protect him with a lance or a fortress (among other tanks) and the game is pretty much a gg from the start. Jungle Ringo guarantees him farm, at a relatively low risk, from the start of the game. Make sure to buy a weapon blade at the outset as well as halycon potions as the initial jungling phase is difficult. Essentially, level the slow first and use it on jungle monsters to increase the time it takes for them to actually get to you in the first place. Once Ringos second ability is online, the jungle process is significantly easier.
In terms of items, I always rush sorrow blade first, and usually have it online within 7 minutes, barring the need to rotate to lane. Any later than 9 minutes and you are already significantly behind on farm. Once the sorrow blade is up, your period of dominance (if you manage distance effectively) will continue for the whole game. Make regular rotations to lane and build attack speed items in order to increase his burst potential. A single Tornado Trigger can be enough, but if you are going to follow my all out crazy build then two is preferable to be honest. As soon as your ult and sorrow blade are up you should always be making regular rotations to the lane in order to assist in pushing on towers as you will melt them with ease.
This build looks noob but it certainly isn't, as managing distance and knowing when you can and cannot win fights is actually very challenging. Focus on ambushes, and especially if the opposition heroes are squishy then 1 v 2s are very easy if you get the jump and burst down the most dangerous target. When you are a glass cannon, distance management is a huge part of your game, and so make sure to lose your slow on those such as Krul who will attempt to ambush you - quick reflexes determine the story of your game - the slow is your best friend.
Once the second sorrow blade and the monocle is up, focus on that final burst of speed with the tornado trigger, but if finding it difficult, then feel free to build some sort of T3 sustain item such as metal jacket. At this stage, the crits and raw fire power you have, if you have farmed well, will be pretty unmatched. Stay behind your team mates and you will dominate the game. Even if the enemy does manage to take kraken, the power with which you will hit will make the threat of a kraken push negligible.
HOWEVER, remember, you NEED to stay behind a tank. No matter how much damage you have, you are no use if you get bursted down by some screb Taka every fight. And also, a few early jungle deaths from ganks are normal, just use mines to reduce the risks.
That is about all, and enjoy the power this build will give you! :D
This is my first guide so sorry if it is a little patchy.
