Hi! I'm DankGlory and I have reached Simply Amazing in 149 wins and I thought I'd share with you ow I got there. This hero build focuses on Ardans amazing ability to take hit after hit and protect his teammates when necessary. Virtually no heroes actually pose a threat to Ardan after he is built between his Mid and Late game. Try this build out, its an immense amount of fun seeing three enemies unload all of their skills and attacks onto you, only to see that it has done 1/5 of your health.

ITEMS:In the early game you can choose IGC or OH depending on enemy composition and how comfortable you are having a little less health(1 potion is a must, 2 if you feel necessary). Once jungle invades are over, clear jungle camps and share last hits with your jungle carry. When faming, freely use your A and B to speed up the process as you wont be continuing your IGC for DPS on minions.
DO NOT SELL YOUR IGC UNTIL END GAME FOR AC. THIS IS VITAL FOR GOLD INCOME
SKILLS:In team fights, use your A when engaging and fleeing. Use it on your teammates when chasing enemies, but use it on yourself if you are withing range of it hitting your enemy and your teammate isnt(On hit your A significantly slows the enemy).
Once you have enough gold, buy a second OH and boots and move into the Mid-Game.
Playstyle (Mid-Game) Top
ITEMS:In the mid game you should feel more safe being in jungle alone. Lifespring will keep you healthy between teamfights and when jungling so get this first(Potions are no longer necessary once you have Lifespring). Prioritize building Armor/Shield for now and you will watch enemies scratch at your health. Regardless on what the enemy is building at this point, pick up a Kinetic Shield in preparation for Fountain of Renewal.
SKILLS:Always be the first to jump into bushes for teammates and focus on who's getting hit in team fights so you can use your A. Around this time you should be getting your C. Once you have it, pop into lane to check for ganking opportunities with your Lane Carry.
It is not listed, but after Fountain of Renewal, start building towards a Metal Jacket or Aegis asap.
Playstyle (Late-Game) Top
ITEMS:At this point, it should take the entire enemy team to take you down. If the enemy focus all of their fire on to you, it should take them 15-20 seconds of nonstop damage. You are a pure tank and absolutely unkillable. you can tank turrets and have your carries behind you to deal the damage to take it down. Activate your fountain in the forst 2-3 seconds of teamfights so your team can benefit from the healing the duration of the fight.
SKILLS:Use your C when you can to split up enemies and catch fleeing ones. If possible, wait and watch for your enemies to use their reflex blocks. When faced with the choice, you can choose to overdrive your A or B. Personally I like to max B because the damage boost is pretty significant and I feel like its more beneficial than maxing your A.
Another tactic is to tower dive with your teammates. Yes you wont be the one to deal the killing blow, but you can tank the turret shots so your squishy carry can get in and out unscathed!
Playstyle (End-Game) Top
ITEMS: Add an extra crucible to reflex block for your teammates when they are too dumb to do it themselves. At this point you are built completely defensive and you lack any offense. Once you have enough gold, sell your IGC and buy aftershock. This should be the final nail in the enemies coffin.
SKILLS: Same ideas as late game.
