What the item does
01
Use: Throw Grenade
Throws a grenade at the targeted area with a radius of 300, dealing 50 damage to enemies on impact. For 5 seconds after the explosion, enemies also take 15 damage every 1 second and move 15% more slowly.
How I decide
«The grenade helps when an ally is ready to follow up its slow.»
Ruslan UkrainskyiSpeaking through Rodya
- 01 Situation
- An enemy steps out of position in lane, and the team has enough resources for a shared move.
- 02 My decision
- I coordinate the follow-up and throw it into the relevant area before the allied combo.
- 03 What I avoid
- Spend the grenade on a solo attempt nobody can finish.
When I would buy it
Early, for a coordinated attempt to pressure the lane.
Which heroes I would try it on
Examples based on mechanics. The role, opponents and team plan determine the final choice.
What to compare it with
Similar purposes do not make items interchangeable. I compare effect, price and timing.
