Threat Hero Notes
1
  No Threat
2
Phinn Tanky. Build stacks off him. He's slow so just go after he's team mates
2
Churnwalker You're too mobile to get hooked. Dont play predictable
3
Krul Build Poisoned Shiv and Breaking Point and you just delete him. Watch out for him in the jungle
3
Leo One of THE best counters against leo you're sustain can outmatch him.
3
San Feng No matter what he pulls out you'll delete him.
3
Samuel Just make sure not to dive into his ULT and end up screwing your team over. Other than that he can poke you but can't kilk you.
3
Idris Literal potato.
3
SAW Kill him. Fast just rush him dont let him build a full stack!
3
Adagio Make him waste his ult THEN kill him.
4
Koshka Her ultimate can can also delete you in team fights but celestial shroud can protect you.
4
Baptiste Dont bother. Just watch out for his B and C.
4
Ardan His barrier and ult is annoying. But you have a stronger barrier and sustain. Avoid getting trapped in his cage. Buy Celestial Sbroud if you have to.
5
Gwen Not really a threat unless she kites and stays in the backline. If in a 1v1 you just delete her
5
Caine Play smart. And dont dive in to his Triple Tap by accident and gank him. He can out zone you!
6
Ylva Can trap and stun you. His litteral worst nightmare. DONT DIVE HER.
7
Blackfeather Dangerous early and mid! Never 1v1 him unless in late game.
7
Grumpjaw Has the potential to be dangerous. If he knows what he's doing you'll go 0/10
8
Taka If he's fast he'll use his A then proceed to kite you to death. Just play unpredictable.
9
Alpha Can match or out sustain you.
9
Skye Much more mobile than you. Use an empowered C and prioritize her!
9
Anka Can poke, burst you and escape. Go with a team mate always!
9
Grace Can stun, heal her team-mates ask someone to assist you.
10
Catherine Her A and B just deletes you in team fights. Build Celestial Shroud if you can.

Skills Top

Inmovable Mind (Heroic)
-After striking enemy heroes or jungle monsters 3 times, Kensei’s next basic attack deals 25% bonus damage and grants a burst of barrier.
•The main source of kensei's tankiness. This is why you build attack speed.

Lotus Strike (A)
-Kensei rushes forward, swinging his blade and dealing basic attack damage in an arc in front of him.
•This skill is mostly used for closing the gap, escaping, doging skillshots.

Kensho (B)
-Kensei strikes his target and leaps backward, entering Kensho Stance and generating fortified health for the duration.

Kensho Stance: The next Lotus Strike or Path of the Ronin gains a powerful bonus effect when activated within 2.5 seconds of canceling this stance.
•ALWAYS use this first even if you can hit them with you're A. An empowered attack can extened the range and slow the enemy

Path Of The Ronin (C)
-Kensei readies himself before quickly rushing forward, dealing basic attack plus bonus damage to all enemies in his way.
•dont use this if its not empowered you'll get 1 shot instantly. If empowered you can just straight up get an ACE and a Penta.

Early Game Top

Always start with book of eulogies and weapon blade (or swift shooter if you're building poisoned shiv). You can roam, jungle but mostly last hitting. Once you get Serpent's Mask or Poisoned Shiv you can start ganking pretty early on.

Mid Game Top

This is where the fun begins. You just delete high sustain heroes, turrets, squishes etc. Just snowball till you complete you're build.

Late Game Top

Suprised to see the enemy still hadn't surrendered. Iniate team fights, ganks and split pushing or just solo the Kraken/Black-Claw

Gameplay Top

Keep farming till you get you're first item and start ganking. Dont stop attacking even when you're low or taking a ****-ton of damage stand you're ground and fight (trust me).

End Top

My first guide! Sorry if it sucked. But i'm still pretty proud about it!
