Hel: what am i missing?

shell is the more popular pick you will see it sometimes, however that will mostly be to counter execute ults like Thanatos ult. Shell does the exact same with a stronger effect and when upgraded gives 2 stacks of block (which mitigated 2 AA) instead of increased mana regen which you don't need anymore late game.

Hi CafPow, welcome to SmiteFire

Answering your question above:

1) First of all, which role did you pick? If it was mid, I'm sorry but it's extremely normal a Hel Mid feed the enemy. You must know that Hel is mid to late game god but she it EXTREMELY weak early game. All the enemy may do is apply some pressure early game on you and boom, you're dead. Believe or not, hel is a stronger Solo laner than Mid, but even in solo you must take care of yourself early game.

2) You got an Agni, known for his high early pressure doing just what I said above.

3) You may got a smurf guy too (someone who plays in a new account but isn't new in the game). So he probably know how to counter you and you as new player didn't even know what was happening.

What you may do in these situations? Try to farm safe (not only on your lane but around it, in the jungle) and avoid fight alone in the lane or stay near/facing your opponent.

That's my tips for you!

1) yeah i was a Midlaner in this Game. Sometimes i already had issues, sometimes it went great. I'll try out Sololane a few times to see how it works out.

2) / 3) exactly that happened.
i tried to farm safe, he ignored that lol. Okay, more jungle is an option.
The Team tried to help me but we got screwed anyway. In the End, they where all on lvl 15+ and we where at level 8-10 so clearly, we got slain. I was just the "worst case". :(



what do you mean with "shell", if i may ask?

Magic Shell relic.



I thought Shell doesen't counter Executes, only Meditation Cloak?

ahh.
i mostly went with the Beads or the Damage-Immunity-Relic. (the purple one).
going to give this one a try next.

Switching stances with her isn't difficult. She's considered "hard" because she has a high skill cap, and requires good aim with skillshots and fast reaction times, as well has knowing when to utilise her CC cleanse and her lack of escape in her kit. She also doesen't have a single Hard CC ability in her kit.



Try using quick cast (on console) or instant cast (PC). If you're on console raise your sensitivity a bit, but on PC the default is fine. Set Ground Targeter to ON. Also perhaps use the "X" or "O" Reticule for the crosshairs.



Playing aggressive isn't always a bad thing, you just need to know when and when not to.



That's just what the in game suggestion says, sometimes it's roughly accurate, other times, not really.




That's because they're not enough. You can't just rely on 2 guides and expect to be perfect. A lot of knowledge will be learned from practice from trial and error, as well as learning other god's kits, so you know how to fight against them, whats their strength's and weaknesses etc...

Purification Beads and Aegis Amulet should always be built if you're playing Hel in mid lane.

If you play her in support or solo then you can consider Magic Shell.

At level 1 you can get Repulse / Inspire for stronger level 1 clear and allowing you to heal the minion wave.

Meditation Cloak is fine for Joust, at least as a tank pickup only. It's best used in a double tank comp, where you can get 2.

Don't play against AI-bots, it leads to bad habits, and just makes it harder to deal with real opponents.
