The most complex champion on this list, Aphelios at a ban rate between 15% and 48% depending on rank. This champion is fairly locked in as a bottom-lane ranged assassin, but his unique ability to change weapons gives him everything from range, to crowd control, to even turret damage to hold his lane position. He's a common pick for pro-play

JerAx said to OG, " I have no willingness nor passion to play Dota 2 anymore, and I have trouble fitting myself into my competitor’s shoes." Which means just like Ana, JerAx also continues to face the underlying problem that is having to face the same challenge you've already completed. By the look of things, the issue isn't that they don't have the skills to play, it's that they don't have passion. It's unknown if whether the rest of OG's Dota 2 team feels the same, but if they do, this could mean the end for OG's competitive reign in Dota

At the start of the match, purchase a Doran's Shield and healing potion along with a ward for the lane. For your early game items, purchase a Phage, Kindlegem, and Boots of Speed of course.

Garen's ability, Courage, is both his second active and second passive ability. The passive ability is a permanent buff granted to Garen for slaying enemies. For every unit killed by Garen, his armor and magic resistance increase by 0.25 points until he reaches a total of 30 points. Once at 30 points (or stacks) Garen will gain an additional 10% increase to both his armor and magic resistance stats. Courage's active protects Garen by reducing all incoming damage by 30% for a few seconds and during the first 0.75 seconds of the ability being active, Garen is also granted a bonus shield and 60% Tenacity. Tenacity decreases the time Garen is affected by crowd control abilities based on the percentage of Tenacity, which can help prevent Garen from being locked down or kited. Use Courage's active ability during Judgement or immediately after if you expect to be hit hard by enem

Getting to know Garen's abilities and leveling them in the right order is essential to playing him well. A good basic order for Garen to level up his abilities is putting the first point into Decisive Strike, followed by Judgement, and then a point in courage. From there, you are going to want to prioritize leveling Judgement but still be sure to level up your Ultimate when you can. Once Judgement is maxed out or close, prioritize Decisive Strike and then finally Courage. It is also recommended to use Flash and Ignite as your Summoner Spells. For runes, use Conqueror and get Triumph, Tenacity, and Last St

No one is doubting how much damage Aphelios can output, but many teams are finally starting to see the weaknesses surrounding the champion. Aphelios can wreak havoc on an enemy team at any given moment, but playing around his damage, and killing him when he has the wrong guns out given the situation seems to be the way to win against

Some good optional items for Garen include those items which further reduce cooldown, improve armor or magic resistance, increase health, increase armor penetration, and boost movement speed. Death's Dance provides all of the above except movement speed but instead provides an extra heal and 30% damage delay. Duskblade of Draktharr is also a great optional item for Garen that gives cooldown reduction and extra armor penetration. Duskblade of Draktharr's passive, Nightstalker, can be paired with a Decisive Strike from the shadows to deal massive basic attack damage. It is also important to note that building items that increase movement speed can sometimes provide greater attack damage than just purchasing a straightforward attack damage item. This is because the extra movement speed will allow Garen to chase his foes and stay on top of them longer to get more hits
