Tips and Tricks
Windranger should either increase her raw damage output and improve her ultimate, or concentrate on enhancing her ability to disable adversaries.
It is advised to obtain Windrun early when playing as an offlaner in order to give oneself resistance to the adversary’s supports. Due to your ranged hero’s low base attack time and strong last-hitting ability, you can avoid ganks if you know how to use your escape ability.
