Codename: GRANGER

C***]· — views· — votes

Overview

Sibce granger has been revamp. his role in the game has also changed drastically, from a jungler to a gold laner and with this patch, granger has rose to the spotlight and became one of the most picked and most dominating marksman in gold lane.

Strengths

Granger has been a burst, marksman for a long time. but for this season his burst is been torn down a little bit and turned into a single target marksman. like lesley. his burst is only good against squishy heroes. this hero stacks as late games continues but his damage is not that impressive. he can do nonstop skills but lacks much damage as most late game scaling marksman so the best way to use him is stacks as early as you can and win the game around mid to early late lare game like 12-14 minutes.

Weaknesses

weakness of granger is having to rely on ally in early game. since granger can't obtain mana, he constantly need to stack up to speed up his clash importance. his skills are easily block by the first hero to be hit and it can't penetrate that is whyhe can't win on clashes alone with his dmaage as it will only and mostly hit the hero in front of him and this is why he can't be as good as other marksman when it comes to clashes. his skills are also easilyblock by lolita's second skill.

high risk high reward

this items are a good item for granger but with a very high risk of getting one shot. so i recommend to change sky piercer if you lack kills. changing it into BOD or a sustain item like war axe. rose gold and sea halberd can also be change depending on the situation. if the enemy is not that talky and also has a hero that doesn't rely on healing of lifesteal then change it into BoD and immortality.

defense

early-late game balancing

assassin emblem is a good emblem for him as it gives a lot of penetration in early game ans a small amount of movement speed so that you don't need to reply on flicker that much as it has 120 cd. first is thrill- this gives granger a small ampunt of damage for his first skill. weapon master is a good talent for him as it scales his damage up to 8% more which he really needs during lates game. festival if blood is also a good talent to prevent you from going back to base to heal. and the last talent is impure rage. although this talent is a little bit confusing on why granger needs this but the importance of this is the adaptive damage and hp regen when the user deals damage with skills and has no mana. war cry can also be a good talent for him as gyou just need to do 3 separate atks to the enemy

Battle Spell

although granger is a high mobility hero, the best spell for him is flicker. this spell grants granger to reposition way further back when clashes prolong. granger can dash multipletines but the range of his dashes are not that significant as other marksman with movement speed when they use their skills. another thing is that after the nerf, grangers dash range are shortened making them unable to dash through thick walls. i also

stacking

during early i recommend to clear minions as fast as you can then rotate to mid to clear minions as this also gives faster stacking and faster item buying. make sure that you last hit the minions to obtain stacks. this will render you mages capability to dominate early game that's why to exchange for the rotation you are doing, help them on obtaining objectives and small clashes.

Best With Angela

in early game, angela is not that much of a help but at mid to late game, her help can be very useful. since granger can prolong in clashes and has a lot of small dashes and continues barrage of skills, he can dominate and move much faster with angela with the skield and movement speed. it does not give much of a damage but gives granger an assurance todominate more since he can move faster and reposition to hitthose heroes at the back.

Watch Out For Popol and Kupa

popol and kupa is a very annoying enemy as kupa can block the first and ultimate skill and renders me un able to get much stacks early on the game.
