How to play Layla:
Layla is fairly strong as a early game due to her abilities, and scales extremely well to the late game as well. Don’t be afraid to join teamfights or help your teammates. If you’re in doubt, farm up! Layla doesn’t have any mobility abilities but she can be quite safe when played properly!
Layla’s range is long among the other heroes, make use of it! Stay safe, attack and position yourself. Do not stay too front, always stay behind your teammates! Feel free to adjust the items according to your playstyle! She works wonders with most of the attack items.
Tactics:
Early game (level 1-7): Focus on getting the gold bonus of from the minions and avoid chasing the enemies or you might ganked by their jungler.
Mid game (level 8-12): You should play stealthily and seek protection from your tank or fighters.
Late game (level 13+): To ensure your safety stick with your tank all the time so you could last longer in team fights and to contribute to kills and support more for more items and exp.
