HW Level: Entry

Howdy, C0, this is the assignment that I wanted to give you in order to practice your proactive thinking. For this simple assignment, I want you to picture yourself playing the safelane as a carry; visualize and proactively think what each hero could do to you during the laning situation. Because this is an Entry level assignment, you do not have to describe any sort of power spike (through items/spells) when describing how a hero can kill you.

Example:

Hero: Mirana
Playstyle: Auto Attacks (Long Range), Flee's/Chases with Leap
Kill Potential: Sacred Arrow + Starstorm
How to play against: Continous Regeneration to counter Auto Attacks, Dodge Arrow.

Entry: You only have to describe the Kill Potential on each hero.

Anything else that you're able to fill out is extra credit. You can use your imagination, and there are absolutely no wrong answers. Also, keep in mind that this is only for the Laning stage, meaning each hero is presumably level 1-7 when we are taking account of their kill potential. In the review we will go over all of it and establish some basic guidelines for our proactive thinking. If you are stuck feel free to ask me.

----------------------------------------

Assignment Start:

Hero: Tidehunter (Tide)
Playstyle: Defensive, Tanky, disabler.
Kill Potential: Gush + attack, Ravage
How to play against: Harass from afar (is possible). I tend not to worry about him early game unless he's laning with somebody with more early kill potential.

Hero: Centaur Warrunner (Cent)
Playstyle: Aggressive Tank. Wants to get close enough to stomp and double edge.
Kill Potential: Hoof Stomp(disable), double edge
How to play against: Regen, Keep out of range of double edge

Hero: Axe
Playstyle: Aggressive Tank, Disabler. Auto Attacks. Wants to get in close.
Kill Potential: Call and Helix
How to play against: Try to harass from afar. If melee, attack him when there are fewer creeps around. If Viper, nethertoxin to avoid break.

Hero: Enigma
Playstyle: Annoying XD. Pusher, disabler. Wants to farm lanes with eidolons.
Kill Potential: Conversion, Pulse
How to play against:

Hero: Clinkz

How to play against: Harass as much as possible. Dodge Cleave.

Hero: Slark
Playstyle: Auto Attacks + Disabler. Wants to Pounce onto or away from threats.
Kill Potential: Pounce + Essence Shift + Auto Attack
