Introduction

So you picked Guan Yu.
Guan Yu is a support.
Do you know what that means?
Helpful in team fights? - Yes
Good initiator? - Yes
Has healz? - Yes
But your missing one thing.
You are a support
So you have one of the highest starting attack damages in the game.
This guide will show you how to take advantage of that and become the ADC

Starting the Game

You get death's toll because damage and dagger in order to build into asi.
Once you buy your items, you need to go to mid. Even if you don't plan on playing mid. I mean, you gotta show up to mid fight, right?
Make sure you wave at the enemy before the battle starts. A true master is a polite one too. If they attack you mid taunt, destroy them.

Focus on getting money before kills. You want to lay off engaging until level 3. Don't be afraid to go into the enemy minions and take some damage. You can heal it off.

You should rush asi and boots as soon as possible

Gameplay Style

Guan Yu is a MAN
That means he does MANLY THINGS
GUAN YU NEVER BACKS DOWN
ALWAYS INTO BATTLE

Laning
Kill minions and take their wallet. Not that hard. Just don't die

Initiation
Whenever you initiate, never ask your team if you should initiate. If you do, always immediately say you are "going in." Make sure this is followed with you using your ult. Even if it is on cooldown, use it anyway.

Killing NoobSkrubs
If you are low level, start with your dash. Once you get near someone, use your spear spin for MASSIVE DAMAGE. Make sure you hit their weak spot for MASSIVE DAMAGE.
If you are higher level, the abilities do less damage. Here, you should add in auto attacks for EVEN MORE MASSIVE DAMAGE

Being Support
You might as well kill yourself at this point of you need to succumb to this

Core Item Explanation

Asi
Asi is important because it gives you lifesteal. This means that you don't need to cower in your spawn everytime the big fat man or the bees hit you.

Warrior Tabi
You need shoes other wise you will get cuts on your feet. You also might trip and fall on your spear. This would be bad

Titan's Bane
You need Titan's Bane so you do more damage to fat people with armor. It also allows you to make bane jokes
"Was dying part of your plan?"
"If I kill you, will you die?" "It would be extremely painful"

Ichiaval
You need a bow because you aren't ranged and need to become ranged.
Note: Bow does not allow Guan Yu to become ranged

Rage
Rage makes you become RNGeesus in terms of critical hits

Alternative Items

Deathbringer
You need a bigger sword. You should have thousands of gold coins, so their isn't a reason you shouldn't get it

Frostbound Hammner
Sometimes, sanic is in your game and is always running away like a coward.
Use this item to make him slow like mayro and smash his goomba face.
