Hello! I'm Dawdius, I've been playing League since Mars 2012 and since then i've played over 1000 games. I'm definitely not a pro but I do consider myself a decent player.
Even if I always liked

In this guide I will share my knowledge about everyones favorite Bursty, Snowballing, Queen of Cleanup

+: Amazing Teamfighter
+: Good Farmer Lategame

Cons
- Bad mid/lategame if shut down early
- Weak Earlygame (Resulting in an often frustrating laning phase)
- Hard to lasthit early against ranged mages
- Ultimate can be canceled by hard CC
- Due to her passive, one kill often results in more kills but if an enemy gets away with low HP she wont get the cooldown reset and will easily be focused down

RECOMMENDED
These are summoner spells that i personally recommend and use on





Being a burst caster


MIGHT BE USEFUL
These are summoners spells that I do not personally recommend but that might be useful.
I'm not a big fan of

Although I tend to bring






I do not recommend bringing






DO NOT USE
These are summoners spells that under (almost) no circumstances should be used on

You're not jungling!
You're not a support!
You don't have mana.
Not worth it, you will be bursty enough as it is.
Too long of a cooldown for such a small thing, Not worth it.
Doesn't help much in mid lane and is simply not worth it.

Offense Tree

Start by picking up



If you're up against a champion with alot of harrasment (



If you're up against a passive earlygame champion (





When you have picked up your
Rabadon's Deathcap and
Sorcerer's Shoes it's a good idea to start roaming, try to co-ordinate with your teammates and gank bot when the enemies are overextended. Even if they got river warded and see you it will probably be too late and you will be able to get in front of them and channel
Death Lotus (
Flash helps alot with this, try to gank as much as possible while still maintaining your own lane.
If the enemies however play it safe and does not overextend at all, continue to farm and set up ganks with your jungler.
In teamfights, go in after the teams AoE CC comes down or after your teammates go in, Never, ever go in first, you will easily be focused down and your
Death Lotus will be canceled.
A good tip is: wait until your team engages, count to four and then
Shunpo into the midsnt of the fight. You will hopefully be kind of covered up by the chaos of the fight at this point and you will hopefully be able to get the entire duration of
Death Lotus of.
If everythings goes well you'll be set up for late game

If everything went as planned, you will be either fed up on creeps or on kills. If not, you have to very careful. You should atleast have finished your
Rylai's Crystal Scepter by now or else you're gonna have a hard time.
As in midgame, never initiate fights, wait for your tankier teammates to do it, count to 4 and
Shunpo into the midst of the battle. You can also channel your
Death Lotus over specific walls.
As i wrote earlier, it's also i good idea to pick up a
Guardian Angel at this time.
If your game didn't go very well and you are not that fed. Try to flank around the enemy team and get your ultimate off next to their carries, try to get a reset with
Voracity by killing easy targets.
