Rama's Lore

Ravana's immortal reign subjugates the people. Shiva's boon grants the demon-king invulnerability against gods and beasts. Only mortal men stand a chance of defeating him, but Ravana's might is too potent for a mere man to overcome. All seems lost.

To save us, Vishnu took human form. Rama, prince of Ayodhya.

At age 16 he was already the perfect embodiment of man. Strong, humble, handsome, patient, devout; he is what mankind strives to be, yet, for all our flaws, can never reach.

When a neighboring kingdom, cursed by Ravana's magic, asked for aid, Rama answered, despite the misgivings of his father. With his brother Laksharma, Rama set out and slew a horde of demons. At the palace, Rama cleansed the curse by freeing the queen from stone. The city celebrated and Rama was invited to string Shiva's bow with the prize princess Sita's hand in marriage. Shiva's bow could not be lifted by any man, let alone strung, but Rama broke the bow in half. He and Sita wed immediately.

Returning home, Rama was to be crown prince, but the jealousy of queen Kaikeyi forced Rama into exile, where he's remained these past fourteen years.

Yet Rama was recently seen on the field of battle. Word is, Ravana stole Rama's wife, and Rama left exile to embrace his destiny. He must defeat Ravana, free his wife, and set mankind on a path for peace, else darkness and evil will conquer all.

Rama's Skills

1.Astral Quiver: This is a passive skill that lets Rama generate an astral arrow every 15 seconds, every basic attack Rama lands reduces the amount of time to generate an arrow by 2 seconds.

2. Astral Strike: This skill is a buff that you can only use if you have atleast 1 arrow in your qiver. It deals a really good amount of damage but it uses ammo.

3. Pick Me Up: This skill is a buff that increases your attack speed and can drop you an arrow to your qiver to use with Astral Strike. Fairly good if you want to deal massive damage in short time.

4. Rolling Assault: This is the most important skill, it let's you escape or chase after your enemy, after you use this skill it lets you shoot one arrow from your qiver dealing big damage.

5. Astral Barrage: This skill is your ultimate, when activated Rama launches into the air and shoots 3 arrows dealing massive ammount of damage, this arrows have travel time so if your target is moving aim a little bit in front of him, but remember that every shot makes your splash damage circle of the arrow smaller.

Items

First of all, pick up Golden Bow. The golden bow will make clearing easily better than Ao Kuangs, so there is no trouble on fast clearing.

Next, you will want to go into either a Devourers Gauntlet or Heartseeker. These items will allow you to gain more power. The Devourers would be a better choice if you are new to rama as these stacks will not disappear when you die. Heartseeker is for more advanced players, these items will allow you to easily dominate the battlefield.

Now, pick up your combat boots. Picking up combat boots allows you to get around the map faster and also be able to escape easier. The penetration on the boots will also allow you to kill the more tanky gods.

After, pick up your attack speed item. I like to go for executioner as it has a better passive than Qins Sais. The executioner will hit more than Qin's Sais after the first hit. executioner is also cheaper, making it a better pick. However, Qin's Sais also work.

For your penultimate item, I would go for the Death Bringer. Once you have this item you can start to deal crazy amount of damage. The passive of Death Bringer allows you to hit a lot harder.

Lastly, pick up either Fatalis for more attack speed or Rage for more crit chance. I usually go for fatalis as it doesn't allow the enemy to escape. The attack speed will also allow for more crits than rage itself. However, if you would like to go for rage then it is also a good pick up.

Creeping / Jungling

Keep Rotating to the Mid furies to easily get ahead of your enemy. Getting the Mid furies will keep you ahead of your competition. The best Buff to pick up is either speed or red. Try to gank the lanes if you can.

Pros / Cons

Pros:

High Mobility
Fast Clear
High Attack Speed
Amazing Late Game
Long Ranged Ultimate

Cons:

Hardly Any CC
Astral Strike Dependant
Hard to Hit Ultimate

Personal Response

Hi guys, Houndy here. This is my first guide, so I'm sorry if it not very nice to look at. In future, I'll try to make my guides look more appealing, but currently I'm not sure how to do it.

Yours Faithfully,

Houndy.

Hey houndy! I just wanted to give you some general ideas for the guide.

As you said its not the prettiest. check out Jordentino's BBCode guide to help with formatting a ton!

You may want to add in a section for pro's and con's of playing Rama in Mid. When you would do it and when not to do it.

You said executioner is better than qins. Said this as fact, and they are both a situational pick and used ideally when counter building against either high health or high phys protection targets.

I am a firm believer that fatalis is a waste of an item slot on Rama. You have a CRIPPLE and a SLOW on 2 of your 4 abilities. Keep this in mind.
