Vamana: You're playing him wrong

Sooo... here it is my Vamana guide. He is probably the least played god this season, why? Because sprint happend that's why. BUTBUTBUTUBUT!!! he's still super strong when played correctly and i am going to show you how!

PS. He's my favorite ranked god. XD

Alright, his kit. Pretty strong but here's a quick overview

1st Ability - Clear the Path

Vamana opens his umbrella in front of him and sprints forward, doing damage to all enemies and knocking them into the air.

Cooldown: 15 seconds Cost: 70/75/80/85/90 mana



2nd Ability - Armored Umbrella (Main DMG)

Vamana infuses his umbrella with his armor, reinforcing it while he strikes forth, doing damage to all enemies in a cone.

3rd Ability - Umbrellarang (lolwat)

K so you know how he used his ult+sprint to rek the enemy team. NOPENOPENOPENOPE
That's nerfed and now it is unuseable, great thanks hi-rez. No problem though! Vamana's damage with his 2 is insane (100% scaling!!) and can easily close gaps between you and the enemy with his 1. So make sure you max your 2 first for the damage and lane clear, it's also a pretty good poking ability. Use your 3 and one to close the gaps between you and enemies. And last but not least, use your ultimate for sustain NOT FOR DAMAGE MMKAY?!

Ahhh lets buy sprint... oh wait it's **** that's right!

Nah don't buy sprint it sucks and don't go attack speed neither. What you should do is utilize your passive with the iteams you're buying. Two builds are avalible and these are pretty flexpick-ish because you can remove and add an item that suits your playstyle.

PS. ALWAYS START WITH BLUESTONE.

Build uno DAMAGE YO:
1 Warrior Tabi
2 Breastplate of Valor/Transcendence
3 Runeforged Hammer
4 Heartward Amulet/Stone of Gaia
5 Shifters Shield
6 Johohotuns wrath
Damage will be through the roof but, you're pretty damn squishy.

Build two PROTECTION:

1 Warrior tabi
2/6 Breastplate of Valor
3 Runeforged Hammer
4 Heartward Amulet/ Stone of Gaia
5 Heartward Amulet/ Stone of Gaia
6/2 Mail of Renewal
You should be able to harass the enemy team with this build

Vamana's damage, cc and tanky-ness make him very strong as a warrior. He can fight a team fight, heal up real quick and join the fight again. His knockup on his 1 into his 3 can setup for the team and his laning phase is probably the easiest laning phase you ever experienced. Just clear the wave and poke your enemy out.

I hope you try this build and learned from the stuff i said, i'd like to see some more Vamana's because he's still pretty viable.
