Threat Hero Notes
1
   No Threat
2
 Kestrel Kestrel has been nerfed by a lot so when she pulls out her Ultimate, just Afterburn out of the way because of the delay.
3
 Celeste Gank early and try to predict when her abilities are coming out. She will most likely instantly drop a "B" ability on you when you come out of brush so walk out first and then Afterburn. But with those aside, easy money.
3
 Phinn You can easily Afterburn out of all his abilities; just try to predict the right time to.
3
 SAW Watch out for Suppresing Fire and wait for it to stop so he will have full stacks and be very slow. Then Afterburn him towards your teammates.
4
 Ardan WP Ardan is not that strong if your team uses an Atlas Pauldron.
4
 Catherine Watch out for stun/silence. You can't position without your abilities. CP Catherine isn't common but watch out for all abilities especially "B".
4
 Fortress CP Fortress is kind of meta right now so watch out for Truth of the Tooth. Wolves are easily dealt with because of your attack speed, but attack them fast or the bleed will really chip at your health.
5
 Glaive Depends on build, get a defense early to counter against invades. Try to fight with other allies and Afterburn him towards them.
5
 Krul Invade often since Glaive is more early game than Krul is. The best way to counter Krul is to starve him of his farm and Atlas Pauldrons too.
5
 Rona I haven't seen any Ronas since the 1.13 update, but watch out for Breaking Point because her Ult synchronizes with it the best out of the whole cast due to the AOE all adding to the stacks.
6
 Joule CP Joule is very powerful throughout the game because of her Rocket Leap. Try to Reflex Block this or Afterburn if necessary. Try to also Afterburn out of her Ultimate because the damage is over time.
6
 Skye Be careful of her "A" ability and Afterburn out of it if desperate. Buy defense items accordingly early game and focus her if she's carrying. She has been heavily nerfed but still is a viable hero.
6
 Taka Not quite what he used to be, before his perk got nerfed, Ultimate is now a little slower but the difference is a few tenths of a second. Watch out for CP builds and grab flare guns if your support doesn't buy a contraption. Flare guns will make your life easy.
7
 Adagio Lane Adagio is becoming a popular role now, as it is so strong with both paths; be careful. Also if you keep getting slowed by his "A" ability, consider buying Travel Boots early.
7
 Ozo He has received a buff for 1.15 on account of his being a new hero. Watch out and stun him often so he can't get his lifesteal. There aren't very many top tier Ozos though, so don't worry too much.
7
 Vox Work in progress, check back later.
8
 Reim I have only seen one Reim during 1.14 and 1.15 so try to deal with him like a slightly nerfed version of Koshka.
8
 Ringo If you play Draft Mode with friends, this is the hero to ban and Blackfeather. Even though WP Ringo has been nerfed, CP Ringo is still very viable.
9
 Blackfeather SEMC "nerfed" BF but is still a very viable hero and you MUST gank often (a good routine is to gank everytime you clear jungle.
9
 Koshka Probably the best CP jungler when used correctly. Get early defense and reflex block to counter Ultimate and Aftershock. You MUST focus her every fight if she is carrying.
10
 Petal INVADE WITH ENTIRE TEAM OFTEN BECAUSE SHE IS DEFINITELY BREAKING THE META RIGHT NOW. GET SHIELD FAST OR YOU WILL BE DEAD. Consider using your ultimate just for her munions.
10
 Skaarf Skaarf may seem cute but then you're suddenly trapped in some goop, stunned by Catherine, and set aflame. Skaarf is the most powerful CP laner currently in 1.15. Gank often with teammates and take out any scout traps that might be in the bushes.

Early Game Top

To begin, buy a Weapon Blade and go jungle. You don't need a Swift Shooter because Twisted Stroke instantly resets your basic attack cooldown. You can also stutterstep for more attack speed. Once clearing out your entire jungle, go buy a second Weapon Blade and rinse and repeat. If the enemy is over extending ( SAW) or you have a Catherine on your team, go ahead and help gank as this will greatly help your team's laner. Use your Afterburn and knock the enemy towards your laner/turret. Get Sprint Boots when needed/ganking.

Level 4 (about) Top

This is when you really want to rush a tension bow as Glaive is a mid game hero and you don't want to fall behind early gamers such as Koshka. If the enemy jungler has a decent amount of crystal or weapon power already, feel free to grab a defense item to the respective path. Depending on your team's support, go fight in the enemy team's jungle. If they have a Krul, or Koshka your whole team MUST focus on them in order for them to not be a mid and late game menace. Try building towards a Sorrowblade now.

Mid Game Top

Now you should be fighting often, whether it be lane or jungle. If you have a Fortress on your team, wait for him to initiate and then Afterburn the enemy team carries to your laner. Always focus on the carries and don't stay in the center (unless you finish them off with Bloodsong). What I mean by this is DON'T attack a hero and then go attack a different one as this will greatly reduce your team's chance of getting a kill at all. Instead, stick to the hero with the least health/defense (often the laners). Consider getting gold mine with your support if they have flares. Work towards a Tyrant's Monocle now and build defense according to the carries.

Late Game Top

You should now have a Tension Bow, Sorrowblade, Tyrant's Monocle, Boots, and some defense. You might also have a Blazing Salvo for an easier time. If a different build works for you better, then just ignore that last sentence. You should now be trying to end the game. A common mistake that many people make late game is forgetting to farm. Even if you have full build, go get Weapon Infusion and Crystal Infusion or help your laner out. If you don't feel safe, go with your support and let them use flares to check bushes. Whatever you do, DO NOT FACE CHECK. Always let your support engage and face check as this will greatly increase your team's overall damage. If getting a kill means you getting killed too, don't risk it unless you have your Afterburn up. You should be able to Ace the enemy team fairly easily if you have followed this guide and depending on the enemies' respawn time and number of turrets, consider pinging your teammates to push for game. Have fun!
