Chapter Title

Just one tipp... play aggressive if you really want to win, but dont be stupid. wait for good moments and then kill the enemies. In early game you can focus the supporter too, becuase he hasn't really much def items. You must start stacking so fast you can.

Hi, thx for the guide. May be it is not bad for newbies, but still I'd like to note some things that I dont like here:
1) At 2 lvl it is better to level ur escape, cause it may save ur life after ur mistake. It happened to me so many times, when I began playing adc.
Still u may level 2 if u r expecting mistake from the enemy or going to be extremely agressive with sobek, for example.

2) I am not sure about ur first relic. Curses are for ur guardian. U need purification or invulnerability (depending in ur foes: ares and artemis - purification; hou yi and cabra - sanctuary)

3) Next thing is mana pot's. Hou Yi is not as greedy for mana as Anhur, but still requires it. If u will go on lane without mana pots, u may find ur self with little mana at lvl 5, when u will go for kills. I usually take 2 mana pots, it lets me spam my skills the way I want, so that i can dominate on the lane and harass.

4) your item build: U have nice attack speed with it, but u have very little power. Hou Yi depends on his skills. Using him without them is completely stupid. And when u have less power they r not quite effective.

5) Wind Demon. Nice new item, but u need it against healers. I reccomend builing deathbringer + malice (rage).
