Build Order Varies.

Depending on the amount of gold you have in the situation, on the first back you want to buy. If on the first back you can complete Deathbringer do it, then get the boots next.

First 1-5 Minutes.

I like to get the enemies attack speed buff from the jungle right when it spawns. After you do that, stay a good distance away from the enemy and any poking chance you get go for it. Remember to always try to deflect your arrow of the wall to hit the enemy. Don't rush things.

5-10 Minutes in.

USE YOUR 2 ABILITY IN COMBINATION WITH YOUR OTHER ABILITIES! Your 2 is your best-friend it increases the damage percentage of your other abilities and also enhances them in various ways. Never use an ability without your 2 on the enemy.

10-15 Minutes in.

By now you should have the Ichaival item. You should be trying to hit every basic attack because by now they do a lot of damage to your opponent. If someone is giving you a tough time on the enemy team remember to use your 3 ability to dive-bomb out of there.

15-20 Minutes.

Nothing matters, you can throw this whole guide out the window. This should be so easy. oh, I am so sorry ... I didn't ... You lost? bu bu but, ho how? Listen man you have a **** team i understand but keep your head up because there are plenty more of those around.

Ok some criticism as far as the build goes (Ima just assume you made this for the build.)

1) Absolutely no pen. Ichaival 10+ pen isnt enough, and Mark of the Golden Crow is not going to be online the whole time unless you build CDR, and with triple crit you cant.

2) No lifesteal. Your boxing becomes subpar without it, and you have no sustain with it, as one of the squishiest roles in the game. Without lifesteal you wont be able to stay in teamfights for very long without a healer, and even then they have cooldowns as well.

3) You level Mark of the Golden Crow first, twice. Absolutely ****py in the beginning, cant target minions or camps, and the enemies arent going to simply stand there letting you hit them unless they crashed. I hope that was a mistake, level 1 first, then 2.

4) Rage works better first mostly because of that crit passive. Getting Deathbringer first will just be alot of money down the drain unless you want to try your luck. And with a gamemode like Conquest, you shouldn't. (I mean unless your ahead by a longshot, then who ****ing cares)

5) If you really wanna give any advice be specific on the item choices and why its good, and when to get it. Going be minutes might seem like a good idea, but it doesnt apply to every game. Mid game is usually 3 items in, and late is 5 items in.

If you really wanna change it, I would do Ninja Tabi, Asi, and The Executioner for first three items, then going triple crit.

I agree with this. You have no life steal at all and can easily be beat by another hunter.
