Author's notes

SWAP TO MID LANE ALWAYS. Door to walker at 3 min and play around door the whole game. Door people to walker and spawn, save teamates, steal mid, steal farm, and generally be the most annoying player in the game. After core choose what you need. Joechuck on youtube for guides and gameplay
