• April 30th 2019 - Updated build to patch 4,2, added 5v5 notes and threat info for Magnus, San Feng, Ylva, and Yates

Pros:

• is great for engage and disengage.
  
• Her Passive affects Malene's auto-attacks. When switching to "good Malene" using , her First auto attack applies a slow which helps to land as well as peel / engage. does not need to spend a lot of gold to deal damage!
  
• allows Malene to enter the battle quickly with its speed boost or leave quickly while shielded. Also good for tanking hits for allies!
• can be used to bait ults or key skills out of enemies or to slow them down slightly if they choose to chase your allies. Using this skill will also redirect turret hits and make certain targeted ult users like or cry!
  
• High damage scaling even without building towards damage.
  
• Versatile- can fit into most team comps as a standard Captain or Roamer

Cons

• Squishy inherently, especially early on in the game.
  
• Has a somewhat high skill cap to play adequately.
  
• Due to high cooldowns early on in the game, you must plan ahead and use escape / peel skills such as wisely.
  
• Less damage than standard or Lane builds (duh.)
  
• has a slow travel time compared to other projectiles, which makes it hard to land, especially when the lane has not been pushed and can easily be minion blocked or dodged.
  
• can only be used to shield and not her allies. :(

• I thought it was super weird that none of the builds that SEMC showcase had built in! Because of Malene's unique passive combined with Aftershock's unique passive which procs everytime you auto-attack after a skill JUST LIKE her own passive, it only makes sense to build this item. It offers a little bit of everything - sustain, damage that has great synergy with , and cooldown reduction / energy regen, all of which Malene benefits from. As an early damage item, I typically build this, starting with at the start of the game and good old Alternatively, you may wish to start with which can also build into a early if playing against a , , or bush wookies like .
  
  If you are finding yourself picking up a lot of kills or assists early in the game, you may be tempted to rush or but this is definitely NOT recommended as your team is relying on you to provide Utility, not damage!
  
  
  
• is a great all around item for , especially in the Captain role. As of the current meta in Patch 3.2, a lot of healers and heroes that rely on a lot of health in their builds or health regen such as , , or even , , etc. are seen running around the Halcyon Fold. Thankfully, this item counters both. It is up to you whether or not you are playing against one of the aforementioned heroes and need to prioritize this item early on over . If you notice that your WP carries aren't prioritizing and you are against any of the above mentioned heroes or any hero with some sort of heal, health regen, high health, or fortified health you definitely want to pick up . If you find later on that your team has invested in their own or you may choose to sell it out for a or in the late game if your team is ahead and you have enough gold.
  
  The Mortal Wounds unique passive is also useful to your allies when applied through and the DOT is useful for adding a little *oomph* to your long-range or pool from . If you think you'll be rushing this item, start with .
  
  
  
  
• is the all around best CP damage item in the game, but it doesn't offer anything in the way of Utility, so I don't usually recommend building this and I definitely don't recommend rushing it in any game as because the benefits of and unique passives offer way more to you and your team than the flat damage of . However, if you find yourself facing an entirely squishy team comp with little to no defense that looks something like lane, jungle, and captain, then you might consider building over . The gold cost of this item is considerably higher than what is normally considered to be a Captain's income, so this is only a possibility if you and your team are well-fed and easy sailing for the rest of the game. But by then they'll probably surrender.
  
  
  
• has the explicit purpose of allowing CP heroes to break through shield, which is passively granted through the stats of heroes in varying amounts as well as in defensive items such as . If you choose to build over because you are facing a considerably tanky team comp, you may want to forego Aftershcok all together and pick up this item in the mid to late game if you have the gold for it. offers less Utility for your team than , however, and even though Spellfire doesn't have Shield Pierce, the Mortal Wounds and DOT are more helpful to your team than the ability to reduce their shield for your damage and your damage alone. Not especially recommended, but not a terrible pick up if you're picking up more kills than your team mates.

Utility and Defense Items

Spoiler: Click to view

• Is a standard utility item you will see in most Captain builds and the same goes for The health is a nice way to beef up, but the active ability of this item is the obvious reason to purchase it and the 30 second cooldown means you'll be able to have it up as fast as most heroes with hard CC ults will be able to use them. Ideally, you will use this item to block AoE ults that would otherwise decimate your team. The Barrier offered by is also useful for preventing lethal damage from being inflicted upon your team mates as they flee, even if you do fail to block the initial ult or skill you were aiming for. If the enemy team has multiple stuns (think and then choose wisely when to activate your
  
  This is typically the third item I build, depending on the enemy team's ability to lockdown my team, after otherwise it may be rushed first or second.
  
  
  If you do not feel comfortable buying because you typically have lag issues that prevent you from blocking skills accurately or you just simply can't do it, you can substitute , but I do recommend going into bot matches and practicing using as using this item is almost core to playing Captain and if you choose to play the role you better know how utilize !
  
  
  
• Is an item that offers armor and the active ability to slow attack speed. While you may not think you'll get close enough with to utilize the active portion of this item, you'd be surprised! With you can easily use to rush in, pop your and out with no problem! As armor is only useful against WP heroes, pay attention to the enemy team's build. It can also be used effectively against heroes that passively benefit from auto-attacking like or and even building WP or CP!
  
  This is usually a last built item, unless the enemy team is heavy WP or attack speed oriented, then you may choose to build it over , especially if they do not have a large amount of lockdown and all of their damage is focused into auto attacking.
  
  
  
• is never a bad item to build and can be built cheaply and early. The active of this item heals all your nearby team mates for a small amount, not enough to save them from a stray turret shot but enough to save them from ongoing DOT abilities or Bleed effects as well as providing you with health regen and flat health as well as a little shield and armor which will allow you to take more hits for your team mates. If the enemy team relies on constant sustained damage through skill effects {think: or ) then picking this item up early to mid game is not a bad idea.
  
  It is simply your preference whether you would like to rush this item after or in place of it, or not include it at all. The stats and active are always a nice addition to any build, but this particular item is not a hard counter to any kit or ability set so it is optional. Definitely grab this if you don't plan to get !
  
  
  
  
  
• is a Core item, in my opinion, for ANY Captain or Roamer that is building Utility (Hey! that's you as Utility ) and should NEVER be considered optional as VISION WINS GAMES. How quickly you build depends on the enemy team comp, however, though I recommend rushing this item either immediately after your or if there are no Stealth threats like a pesky on the enemy team OR before your damage item. At the very least, you will want a ideally on your first back. If you can't afford a , invest in as well as and . Even after purchasing a , you may want to purchase additional flares and scout traps as the item only holds 4 charges, especially if you are playing against multiple heroes with stealth abilities.
  
  Regardless of Stealth, having vision of key objective like is very important in every game. Well placed give ongoing vision in a small circular area without being triggered and reveal heroes within the blast radius on the mini-map for a short period of time after triggered. can reveal enemy and skill traps, such as those placed by when she uses which is crucial to protecting your Laner and Jungler. If your team mates don't look at the mini map, make sure you do! And place your mines/flares accordingly!
  
  
• is completely situational and usually won't be bought unless you find yourself or your team mates struggling to lock down the enemy team because of multiple or pops. This item silences enemy heroes from using active items ONLY. It DOES NOT silence them like so please do not purchase it expecting to prevent them from casting abilities. There are other items more useful than this, even in the situation of being reflex-blocked by everyone's actives, but if you find you have success with it, then there are worse picks in the shop for
  
  
• is a very selfish buy as the fortified health unique passive and stats will only affect you and not your team, so I recommend purchasing if you need to be more tanky or find yourself getting caught out a lot. If you are the most fed on your team and find that YOU are carrying the game, then by all means, protect that booty and carry on.

Boots

All of these boots are viable on . While are the most obvious choice for supporting your team and helping them out of sticky situations with its active that gives everyone a burst of movement speed, if you are having energy problems or chose not to purchase or for whatever reason, then may be a better choice. aren't bad, and can definitely take advantage of the lower cooldown active and the increased movement speed / health, but these are the least beneficial to your team as at least give you CDR and energy regen to allow you to pump out skills.

Heroic Perk:] allows Malene to use her Ultimate at the beginning of the game, but you may only level her ultimate again at level 6.

When Malene activates her NEXT auto attack will either deal more damage in Malene's dark form or slow enemy heroes / deal more damage in Malene's light form. This Heroic Perk has great synergy with , which is why we choose to build it as our core damage item. In order to play Malene effectively, you will want to hold your auto attack after for targets you can catch out with the slow portion and constantly switch back and forth to alternate between dealing damage and slowing your target for you and your allies.


This Heroic Perk also allows to easily set up , which kicks off the first standard combo that will work for engage or disengage. In addition to this, the skills on both sides of DO NOT share the same cooldown, which allows you to weave in out of forms as you please as long as you choose when to use each skill wisely! When playing Mage/Caster type heroes, people often forget that their auto attacks deal damage too! This is definitely the case with so get in the habit of weaving auto attacks in between each spell cast! The following are a few simple combos you can use with . Auto attacks are represented with

Bread and Butter Combo

Keep in mind, is a root, meaning it will not cancel or disrupt a channeled ability. You can use this skill to kite, disengage, engage, and cancel dash movements but it WILL not cancel abilities such as . It will, however, cancel abilities such as as the root cancels the dash animation.

Turret Dive Combo

is a great escape tool that causes to become invulnerable, untargetable, and slows / deals damage to enemies following the pool of shadows. You can use this ability to dodge lethal ults, get out of sticky situations, and redirect incoming turret or creature damage to a more suitable ally, or to simply reposition for usage of . Using when the target of a point and click ult like will cause the skill to disappear if and go on cooldown if timed correctly so be sure to save this ability for these situations.

is a great for following your allies into battle or running away from it as it has a small movement speed boost and provides with a barrier. Though not as foolproof as it is still an effective tool for getting yourself out or in to bad situations.

Early Game

• Try to save your skill-point initially to see what your team mates plan to do, but you will typically start with a point in
• If you went the with start, you may choose to use the extra gold for a or 2
• Try to wait to back so that you can start building or at least gathering the components for . If the enemy team unlocks at lot of CC at level 6, just pick up a and start rushing your .
• Use your Heroic Perk empowered slow auto attack when switching forms BEFORE using to make it easier to land! You can easily catch enemies out roaming. If you get the opportunity, help your jungler counter jungle and use the time to place in the enemy jungle in preparation for mid game.
• DO NOT rush your damage items unless you get very fed in the early game!

Start game, you want to purchase whichever set of starting items suit your needs. When going for the and start, you may want to use the extra 50g to purchase a couple of or a , though is more useful for scouting the lower moustache brush and middle jungle brush early in the game, this is up to you. You can find more tips on trap placement and flare usage in other guides around the web, some I've linked above.

You can start if you don't think your jungler is interested in invading the enemy jungle or engaging in a mid jungle scuffle or if you don't expect you'll be invaded during your clear, as the shield from wil let you leash camps (initiate attack on jungle camps, kite them for your jungler) without taking as much damage while using to deal a small amount of AoE damage and redirect the camp's focus to your jungler. I recommend waiting before putting a point into a skill, so that you can read the situation and make an informed decision, but for all intents and purposes, is an all around useful start in both scenarios.

After your jungler's first clear, you have ideally hit level 2 and put your point into if you followed the standard skill path. You should be keeping an eye on your laner, and look for opportunities to roam up to lane and assist with a kill or initiate a gank with your jungler. You are pretty safe to play offensively at Level 2, so don't be afraid to start fights with if you're able to catch someone out! If you are spending time in lane, though, DO NOT last hit your laner's minions! It's okay to help them push (if they aren't to your knowledge trying to freeze the lane), but try to avoid landing the killing blow so that they can maintain their gold income. Remember, we are Captain / Roamer .

has a decent early game overall because of her skills being fully unlocked at level 2. This gives a HUGE Level 2 power spike with all 4 skills available for her use. You should take advantage of this, because the trade off is lacking a proper "ultimate" ability at level 6 when other heroes hit the usual level 6 power spike. Utilize a constant rotation of skills while saving either or at any given time to get in and insure you have a way out!

Once you've acquired enough gold or you've had to take an early back, you should start working on the components of and, with any residual gold, you may want to grab an extra or if you cannot afford the on this back. It's better to hang out and collect as much passive gold as possible, but don't be afraid to back early, even if just to pick up an extra or if you're facing stealthed heroes or are being camped by the enemy jungler.

Mid Game

• Be wary of big ticket ultimates after enemies get level 6! If you are facing someone with devastating AoE CC like or you will have wanted to complete your for your team! You can always use to save yourself!
• is going to come into play more now that you have to worry about the Crystal Miner and, eventually, Kraken. Make sure you are using to give vision in crucial areas as well as the to expose enemies in brush or in stealth!
• Try to stay grouped up. does not get a big ticket ult or special skill at level 6 unlike the rest of the heroes in the game. While everyone else gets a power spike, you are forced to play around it.
• Try to catch out the enemy jungler or roamer so that you may take the Crystal Miner without worrying about enemies coming and taking it. In 5v5, consider pinging and initiating Blackwing. You can always use to re-direct aggro onto another team mate when they arrive!

Right around the time every hero hits level 6 and the crystal sentry has spawned, we have entered mid-game in 3v3. You would have purchased at least a by now, as the enemy team will most likely be interested in starting or contesting once it has reached capacity. Be wary of heroes like that can easily solo the Crystal Miner due to high sustain or lifesteal! You will want to place around the area.

Keep an eye out for game-changing ults. A lot of heroes have their crowd control abilities in their ults that they do not have before level 6. Unfortunately, you already hit your power-spike, which makes struggle during the mid game a bit if you cannot manage your / to avoid these key abilities. You want to use your to bait out these abilities and pool to safely while having caution that you don't accidentally dodge a skillshot only to nuke an ally instead!

If you find yourself caught out, try and protect / peel for you laner using your to root enemies with dashes and movement speed bonuses while slowing them with the empowered auto attack after using . Where Malene shines in the early game, her mid game is lackluster in comparison and is merely a time for saving and acquiring gold to complete her full build. Your next power-spike doesn't happen until you are able to put 5 points into so you won't be engaging so much as disengaging, but she is nowhere near weak!

Rotate into the jungle and back to lane, always keeping an eye on the mini map. is great at peeling and engaging, so regardless of the situation, you have a tool for that!

• You should be close to full build at the start of late game. is vital now if you didn't complete it in mid or early game. You will need to place traps around , your jungle (especially if the enemy team has pushed up), and ideally, the enemy jungle.
• DO NOT start unless your team has achieved an Ace, you have killed either the jungler or roamer, or are aware of where everyone on the enemy team is and are sure they do not have an ability that will allow them an easy steal! Keep an eye out for skills being used by or in 5v5. They will give you a heads up as to what the enemy team is doing!
• Keep using to make plays and picks while you push up the lane! You can easily escape with either or now that you are close to full build and therefore have lower cooldowns!
• If you are your teams only form of peel or crowd control, save your to peel for your carry, whomever that may be. Don't engage unless you are sure you are able to bring your target down quickly and safely. An ace late game can easily mean game over!

So, I wanted to elaborate on how to use Utility on Malene in 5v5 now that I have played her effectively in every role EXCEPT jungle. If that day ever comes that I do, God help us all. I will continue to update this as I learn more!
Example Build:

Early Game

Spoiler: Click to view

• You can pick from a wide variety of starting items when playing Malene in 5v5, regardless of your endgame so far as your build.
  I will usually start , but you really can choose from and boots or . If I am forced into a lane (I am prepared to be flamed for this), I will often start for the extra sustain so I can survive the lane to farm. Choose your start situationally. There is no reason for contract unless you roam or share a lane, but it does offer you a quick very early in the game if you choose this route and forsake early boots. Only give up boots if you are comfortable using to escape.
• You will typically spend the first 5 minutes or so with your mid laner. Use this time to make picks with or save this ability to peel against an aggressive support like or jungler like , Use your cams to counter their vision as well as to get vision if you can safely drop one in their jungle. You want to start building your now if you are doing ok, otherwise you can start rushing your or if most of your suffering is from energy problems.
• If you didn't buy starter boots at the beginning, you may want to grab boots now. If you plan on building a and than you don't necessarily need , but if you are suffering from no energy and have to back early, then you may upgrade your boots to for the CDR and energy regen, but may end up exchanging them for in mid to late game.
• Once you hit your level 2 power spike (hopefully before your opponent), use your empowered auto/slow to land your and use to roam and make picks on enemy laners. If all else fails, you can switch to shadow form and use
• REMEMBER: Malene has pretty high cooldowns early on with no CDR. You will be waiting a good 12-8 seconds on AND the ability to make the switch to even do it, so plan around your enemy and make plays ONLY when you can take full advantage of her kit.

Mid Game (What I do?)

Spoiler: Click to view

• At this point, you have either taken their tier 1 turrets in one or two lanes or they have taken yours. Ghostwing has spawned and everyone should be around level 6-8. Secure vision with your cam on the dragon, even though contesting Ghostwing is never worth feeding the enemy kills for. You can only take advantage of the buff if you're alive!
• If you have not taken the enemy's tier 1 turret in any lane, roam and help push it down. This will open up you or your laner to split push in the late game.
• If your jungler is doing decent, roam and set up ganks for them. Try to even out the gold disparity between team mates so they can be just as effective as you are. If you are fed, donate kills as much as possible. As a side note, you may not want to reset the gold bounty on a team mate that has been feeding
  Take those kills for yourself, as making them worth gold when they die (AGAIN) is pointless.
• If the enemy team has a crazy wombo combo (think ult plus plus ) then you should be building a . You can even pop the active while using to save yourself. This goes for ALL active items! You may switch out a damage item to accommodate this or may choose it over . synergizes so well with Malene that I wouldn't forsake it.
• If the enemy team has ANY stealth or an you may be forced to purchase a . ONLY do this if the enemy is REALLY screwing your team with their stealth or traps as the stats on flare gun and scout cam upgrades kind of blow aside from the active.
• Take every opportunity you can to make picks in other lanes and split push. Malene can kite for days by alternating forms and using , , and . You can easily push a lane out and escape from the entire enemy team if they decide to come after you, provided they don't hook you back.
• Get that deep cam! If you do split push, try to cam up the enemy jungle. I am not going to go in depth as to where. There are other great guides with maps that show the best places for your scout cam.
• If you are doing well at this point, you may choose to use your gold to build more damage. You can switch out your boots if you bought before and have finished your . We want to hit the cap and not waste item slots, as Malene needs all the CDR and energy regen you can get for her constant skill rotation.

Late Game

Spoiler: Click to view

• Everyone is or is near level 12. Blackclaw has spawned at 15 minutes in, signaling the transition between mid to late game. What you do now will determine whether you win or lose so pay attention to your map, your team mates, and your cooldowns to make the right plays. You should always have a cam ready to drop in the Blackclaw pit and if you can, one in the brush on the enemy side by their Crystal Treant. This is really important if they have a jungler like or someone like that can easily solo the dragon without the help of their team at close to full build.
• Now that Blackclaw is up, PICK YOUR BATTLES WISELY. One bad team fight could mean the enemy team gets an Ace and potentially the dragon, which 99.99% of the time will mean you lose. Try not to fight in the jungle unless your team mates benefit from close quarters combat MORE than the enemy team does ( for examples). Don't forget to use your auto attack slow with and to help peel for your carries and kite. You can use underneath enemies to slow them if they are chasing a team mate, don't just use it to save yourself unless you have the highest bounty.
• Make preparations to do Blackclaw. This means pushing out the opposite lane so that the enemy team is forced to the other side of the map. Blackclaw is VERY strong now after 4.2, and totally worth getting. He almost guarantees a win if mid is already pushed or you've aced or taken out most of the enemy team.
• If the enemy goes for Ghostwing, DONT CONTEST. Ping the **** out of Blackclaw. Ideally, your team will follow up and you can take it quick before they notice.
• If the enemy team gets Ghostwing, simply wait out the duration of the buff before fighting them as they do have a significant advantage in fights now.
• If the enemy team is trying to bait you into Blackclaw, push side lanes to draw them out. Fighting in the pit will most likely aggro the dragon, which deals a lot of damage and slows, which is definitely not ideal.
• If you are pushed in a lane to the enemy armory, drop a cam. People can use to try and sneak a win if all else fails. If you have already killed them and/or gotten the dragon(s) and for some reason still haven't won, ping the **** out of the most pushed lane and steam roll them til the end.
• DO NOT WASTE TIME. The longer it takes you to end, the more time the enemy team has to free farm and reach full build to completely turn the game around. One mistake is all it takes, if you are way ahead, make plays that will lead to destroying their Vain. If you are behind and the enemy team is derping around, farm up and close the gold gap so you can lead your team to victory. Don't give up!
• If you are REALLY behind, focus on survival until you can get enough gold to finish your build. Then, it is ok to take risks as you are in a losing situation if you don't!

TIPS AND TRICKS (ALWAYS WIP)

Spoiler: Click to view

• Start and boots if you end up laning and are outranged. This will help you survive laning phase and you will sell it later, if needed. The only down side is the gold loss from buying and selling.
• Hols your auto attack after transforming to harass the enemy. Your light form auto applies a slow on top of extra damage, which is why and work so well with Malene. You can use this slow to easily land either or . The key to Malene is always auto attacking in between form changes and changing forms often.
• If you are looking to be a bit beefier, you may want to add a which will not only buff your barrier / movement speed on but also buff and . It's a win win.
• I don't build it often, but sometimes I choose to build a for the added utility from the slow that will be on every auto vs the empowered light form auto as well as the attack speed, which Malene also benefits from as her attacks deal crystal damage. This will also allow you to fire off your autos faster in between forms. You may want to take this instead of
• If you are doing VERY well, you may want to rush . Because of the additional crystal damage on Malene's autos, it effectively works as a CP without the life steal and the DOT is a nice addition to when used offensively, which will apply it once when moving under the enemy and again when the pool 'pops'. Remember. Malene only deals damage in the center of the pool and not in the trail on detonation.
• If you are getting pushed in a lot or have to take out a large minion wave quickly, use directly underneath the biggest cluster on minions for the AOE damage.
• If your team is so far behind and yoy have nothing to lose or your bounty isn't that high and the enemy team is trying to take Blackclaw or Ghostwing, you can use into the pit when it is close to death and attempt to steal. If you have enough CDR and are lucky, you may even steal it AND get out alive.

Special Threats

• / Adagio isn't the problem so much as his DOT and his ult, which has no hard CC to interrupt, and only has to save herself if not equipped with . Your best bet in playing against him is to burst him down, and keep him behind early. The same is also true with Both heroes possess way more sustain and utility than and if left to their own devices, they will continue to heal up their team and do massive amounts of damage. Rush ESPECIALLY if your allies haven't build either. The Mortal Wounds will help combat their healing while you take them out.

Build a to counter her stun, and possible a and/or if your team is falling to her ult.

• / are hard to handle because of their multiple forms of hard crowd control and with , her large heal and dash. You will need to prioritize to deal with these heroes efficiently, and as a damage item will help counter heals and health regen. Both of these heroes have little mobility outside of Grace's dash, however, so you can effectively peel and kite them once they have burnt their cooldowns. Save your for situations where your team mates (not so much you, because you can always use or to escape unscathed) face impending doom. Ideally, they will also have purchased .
  
  
  
  
• can be a real pain in the *** to deal with because of his seemingly limitless stealth, mobility, and ult. You really need to rush to effectively play against him or any other hero with stealth, but especially . Grab early and start for an early . Ping "enemy missing" whenever you are unsure of his whereabouts and hope your team will acknowledge that he's probably waiting to ambush.
  
  
  
• is a special case, and I suspect nerfs and balance changes will be made to him in these following months after his release. As of right now, Kensei can be kind of overpowered, and because of his multiple dashes and mobility, he can be really hard to pin-down with slow moving . If you try and run, he will quickly catch up to you, and can maneuver defensively with his B ability. I would simply ban him if you have a choice, until balance changes are made. If you are forced to play against him, rush , and to help your team. If you can, isolate and take him down early in the game to prevent him from snowballing.
  

Team Synergy

Spoiler: Click to view

I truly believe can effectively fit into ANY team composition due to all of the utility and versatility she has in her kit. If a team requires more damage, she can deal it. More CC? She can do that. Someone that can tank an ult or draw turret aggro? , no problem. Below are just some of the heroes I have had more than one positive experience playing with as in the Captain role.

• really enjoys playing with heroes that can peel for him and lockdown enemies while he uses his and Heroic Perk to shoot them down and can do just that, and quite well. The only downside to this relationship is cannot heal or provide hard CC to peel for .
  
  
• is probably an unlikely choice, considering we are playing in the Captain role, but if you get the pleasure of playing with a good Jungle, then you will find yourself making easy picks and annoying the **** out of the enemy team in no time. Flicker's ult is especially useful in setting up a game changing on a key target, and he can provide vision for both you and your team, making those deep less dangerous to place.
  
  
• / both of these heroes lack mobility but can deal a ton of damage on their own if they have someone that can lockdown their target, which can do frequently while keeping lethal threats off their backs. goes well with almost any carry, but those that need a little bit of extra care during the early game fare especially well with her in the captain role.
  
  
• can compliment most any team comp, but he lacks CC which makes him a risky pick in lower ranks that are blind games. can provide the extra CC and utility to compliment him while he runs your enemies down.
