THE GAME PLAN

You're an extremely agile and effective initiator. Your ult makes it so you can roam around the map and start and secure kills from just about anywhere. Use your Ult combo (4 + 1 + 3) to pick off people farming and finish off whatever enemy is left, but only use your ult and leave if on teamfights. you're a slippery bastard and they should know it.
