Early game

Start of with helping your team with both red and purple (if you have sylvanus as support give the purple to him, other than that take it yourself)

depending on your enemys you want to go either aggressive or passive (depence on your support aswell)

When you have 1,400 gold you want to if you have mana and health you want to go beyond that to perhaps 1,700 gold so you can get tier 1 boots with you and a ward or 2. do NEVER ever back when your enemy adc comes back to lane due that you want to be infront of him with stacks of your trancendence

if the chase is that you back when he returns to lane with trancendence (or what stacking iteam he have bought) you want to have a jungle gank on the oher adc and make him either back or dead.

stack your trancendence to 50 stacks and back after that (personally i never backs before the 50 mark stack or i kill the enemy god)

mid game

As hou yi you want a safe lane to farm on and remeber to always rotate when you have the chanse. if you have the chanse of getting the midlane a gank do so.. but always be at your lane ready to farm and ready to get more gold

be aware that you have a high damage ultimate so (with ymir that have the slow your ultimate can fit really good there. also with an odins chage) remeber to have your eyes peeled on the map for a potential jungle fight or midlane fight.


remeber that your jump can save your life from ultimates and stuns if you use it propper

End game

As hou yi in end game you want to focus on the Ricochet stun if you are able to bounce the Ricochet on a wall do so for the 50% more damge done by it

if you end up in a duell with someone else be ready for your combo with

Mark of the Golden Crow
Ricochet
Sunbreaker

That combination is devistating your the enemyteam if you are fighting over objectives and you have the chance to steal either Firegigant or golden fury with this particular combo

in the jungle you have the best potential fights due to the narrow corridors and space in the jungle where your Ricochet can bounce on all the walls and hit the enemy several times.

Pros / Cons

Pros:
Strong
Great damage against both a single target and multiple targets
Has the highest natural Basic Attack Damage


Cons:
No good lane clear early game
Slow basic attack speed (thats where ichaval and asi comes in)
The ultimate is easy to escape from (need stuns and slows to keep the enmy in it)
The Cooldown of he's abilitys are very long

Just a few thoughts, try using Hastened Fatalis as opposed to Ichaival. It gives trades the pen for the insane movement bonus. It's something I personally enjoy using and it gives you a different way to play. Secondly, just to make the guide look more appealing try to use some coding. Specifically for the skills because you listed the entire caption that comes with this , they're really easy to do (to do it all you do is (skillname/item) and it makes the guide look better overall and gets rid of the wall of text you currently have.
