SEASON 41 PROFILE

Guard of Nature

Belerick

Belerick punishes teams built around frequent attacks through Deadly Thorns, then forces attention with Ancient Seed and Wrath of Dryad. The happier the enemy marksman is hitting whatever stands in front, the more valuable Belerick becomes.

HOW TO PLAY

Belerick guide for Season 41

DAMAGE: Magic
ATTACK: Melee
SPECIALTY: Crowd Control / Regen
MAIN POSITIONS: Roaming
IN THE GAME SINCE: 17 August 2018

01EARLY GAME
Help the jungler control early entrances and cast Ancient Seed from bushes to force opponents back. Do not lose half your health when the teammate who could follow is still far away.
02MID GAME
Stand between the enemy marksman and your team around Turtle. Nature's Strike helps close the gap, but save Wrath of Dryad until several enemies are inside its area.
03LATE GAME
Around Lord and the base, occupy the route the enemy needs to cross. Trigger Vengeance once they have committed to hitting Belerick; using it early simply tells them to wait.

Belerick is being removed from a large share of drafts. The ban rate matters as much as the win rate here: plenty of players do not want to face the pick at all.
