Not get Pestilence against an Anubis solo? How else are you supposed to shut his sustain down? Sorry, but I can't agree with this at all.

Sorry dude, but 25% anti-heal isn't "shutting his sustain down," especially after he gets Bancroft's online. Yes, the prots and health are going to be very helpful. I guess if it's enough to help you force him back or kill him, that's okay, but I'm just trying to think of how the whole thing would go in-lane. If you both have ult, you won't grab him before he ults and then you're likely to be the one that dies.

I can't remember if Anubis 1 prevents him from getting knocked up. The description says knockback. If you can interrupt his 1 with Xing's 2, that changes things and allows you to be the obvious aggressor.

Problem I was thinking of with Pest is that you have to be close for the anti-heal to take effect, and that's fine if you've got him playing scared and not going for kills. But he can poke the wave safely with his 3 from distance, meaning you're unlikely to get the effect while he gets full lifesteal...unless again you're bullying him.

So anyway, that was my thought process for that one.

I miss the CC, granted. But i can heal and poke well.

Eh, you can play her Supp if you want. It's casuals. Even in Ranked, she can do okay. Watch some of EmilZy's gameplay vids. But suggest not maining her. Standard support role wants good control via hard CC so you can peel or set up for teammates. Hel has damage and sustain potential but almost nothing in the way of CC.

Because you are a Hel. You lack CC, so you can't peel well for your ADC and plus, it's extremely easy the enemy turn on you and kill you early game. You also she has a high mana consumption and low base HP, meaning she is an easy target early game.

Not just Pestilence, I would get Divine Ruin after it as well.

I was actually thinking of Divine also, but wasn't sure if it should be built in Solo. Situational I guess. Would consider more strongly if facing multiple enemies with healing/lifesteal.

practically all non healer mages go lifesteal at least in unranked. Plus there is the ADC. So I guess its worth.

ah i get it. Chronos i also use every now and then, but in the lategame mostly.
i also like to play support with hel. I thought with Asklepios and Lotus-Crown it's still cool and supportive. Besides in the Late-Game one's roaming around in the Group anyway no?


Kinda depends on the team comp. Hel would stay with the team, however people can go to split push other lanes and a lot more tactics. Mostly since in a 5v5 the stronger team has an advantage. So the weaker team loses the head on fight most of the times.

yeah i miss CC (just a little slow)
but i have counter-CC so i can counter the enemy-Guardian?
and i have Heal, which can also be very valuable
and i hit harder than any Tank could dream of. So i thought this might kinda count too.

But anyway, i want to try a few Tanks today, like Geb maybe. :)
mostly because they piss me off when i meet them as enemies and i think to myself ... it's payback time ^^

hmm that might be a reason why i like the lategame-Teamzerg. 5v5, this is where Hel can shine. You heal a lot and one of your Dark 3's can instantly horrify enemie-Glascannons.
But yes, when i'm roaming around to group up and stumble upon an Enemie Group i'm ****ed.
Yet, anybody would be, except maybe a Guard. At least i thought so.
