Hello im t2t4. Im a Loki main as you might guessed. In this guide im going to try how to play Loki. Sorry for my BAD explaining but ill try my best. Leave feedback in the comments.
Lokiis an assasin with HIGH burst damage, GOOD mobility and LOW defence. Basicly everything you would imagen out of an assasin.
+PROS
+High single target burst
+Good late clear
+Good mobility
+Good carry potential
-CONS
-Low defence
-No AOE damage
-Low CC
-Very loud
-Gets focused
In laning phase its very important to not get Poked out / Killed. Level 3 is a very crucial level for Loki since you will get rank 2 Decoy wich will let you clear with 2 casts. Basicly early goal is to Farm and not Die.
Early game Loki doesnt look to Rotate much. Basicly farming for CORE items.
Mid game Loki looks to sit in Jungle, Proxy farm at lane entrance (Not behind t1 since its pretty Risky against a good team.) and rotate for mid fights.
Late game Loki sticks with the team and looks for picks in and outside of Teamfights.
~Gold Fury~
In Gold Fury fights Loki Attacks theGF at first and when the enemies near up backs off to not get CC'd and Die. After some distance you look for a pick on a carry if possible.
~Fire Giant~
In Fire Giant fights Loki doesn't DPS theFG. As a Loki you should be waiting in the jungle before FG andwait for the enemy team to pass by and then kill the carries. Even when the tanks notice Loki they will most likely keep going to stop the FG.
In teamfights Loki will be waiting for the Friendly or Enemy team to initiate and then go in for carry picks. Still have to be careful for Ymir freeze , Geb shield etc...
While doing a siege on a Tower/Phoenix Loki will have trouble going in. Becauze of that Loki instead of killing carries tried to peel for his carries and help them.

Basicly its sneaking up to the enemy with Vanish auto attacking and after that instantly using Aimed Strike.Can also add Decoy andAssasinate into the mix :)
Assasinate can also be used to not get CC'd such as Ares ult by using Assasinate on a target the second the abilie is going off.

Hum, that's a good question... If someone has the answer, I'm really interested to know!
Also the problem with
To get back to early game strategy, how long do you wait in the solo lane before going jungle? Until lvl 5?
And trust me, it works very nicely in conquest!
However, I do not have the same strategy as you regarding abilities and early game. I only go for Decoy 1, then I clear camps for XP, I put some wards to give me gank opportunities and I try to gank early (first blood if possible), especially on the mid lane mage.
Regarding BB Code, you should read this excellent guide! ;)
