Extended Build

Just a little tip from me)

Remember that u are not an assasin. That's why try to stay with your team in order to get from your build as many advantages as possible. Control enemy team and defend your cores. Help your team gain and develop an edge and your win rating will go up very quickly. Good luck and meet on the battlefield of the gods, friends!

Why ganesha is good?

Basically, his abilities are aimed at protecting allies and controlling the enemy team, and also Ganesha can take significant damage, which makes him an excellent choice for creating the most comfortable conditions for his teammates. At the right time, he can also initiate a battle or stop a fleeing enemy in place, allowing his allies to inflict the greatest damage on the enemy.

Another indisputable advantage of Ganesha is his opponent's underestimation.
Indeed, after all the bans, he often remains available in ranked matches. When you hone your skill on this god, you will definitely be able to play with any other gods, complementing their strengths and minimizing their weaknesses.

Who is this guide for?

This guide is for those people who want to learn how to use the potential of this god to 100% and enjoy not only killing the enemy god, but also from cultivating strong allies at the cost of your own efforts. His defensive properties are among the best in the game. Thinking in this direction and applying enough resourcefulness in games, you can get to know this god again.

I think this build is fine for joust, you might consider making your last item an [Ethereal Staff], or [Spear of the Magus] This will give you either more ccr, and damage, or make your team able to do more damage overall! Magus helps keep your ultimate relevant late game as well :)

All in all well done :)

honestly, I would swap some items around depending on the opponents (early sov into a warrior/assassin hunter comp works quite well.)

After that it does still need additions for swapping boots and a possible start
