How to play Johnson:

Johnson is an excellent pick for players who want to play a supportive tank role and help their team secure victories. However, you can also build Johnson mage like I shared above.

He easy to initiate, join teamfights, chase enemies and roam.

Tactics:

Early game (level 1-7): During this stage, he should focus on farming and gaining experience to level up quickly. He should avoid engaging in fights unless necessary.

Mid game (level 8-12): Johnson should focus on building his core items to increase his durability and crowd control abilities. He can also roam around the map and help his teammates secure kills and objectives.

Late game (level 13+): Johnson can also split push and pressure enemy objectives. He should use his ultimate ability to engage enemies and disrupt their positioning, while using his other abilities to crowd control and protect his teammates.
