Free Hero Rotation (Oct. 27): Krul, Adagio & More!

6x2_20151027

In this week’s free hero rotation, try Krul, Adagio, Koshka and more. Krul has been a menace in the EU meta for quite some time, but his presence is now being felt globally in competitive play — especially with a build centered around double Blazing Salvo, lots of defensive items and then a Breaking Point. Try this devastating combination and play like an animal! Krul is at his most vulnerable in the early game before he has the items that help make him a monster. To compensate, grab a teammate or guildmate and have that ally play roam Adagio. He’s the perfect complement to survive the early game. —PlayoffBeard


KRUL (JUNGLE/WARRIOR)

Krul is a jungle nightmare who dominates in 1v1 duels. Able to absorb massive amounts of damage and recover large portions of his own health mid-battle, Krul can bring the pain and survive a beating as long as he can stick to his target.


ADAGIO (ROAM/PROTECTOR)

The master manipulator of large-scale battles, Adagio brings incredible teamfight presence with huge area-of-effect damage and team-saving abilities. He almost seems too good: He can heal. He can amplify damage. He can stun and nuke the entire enemy team … but none of these can be achieved easily without team-wide coordination. Adagio is extremely flexible and can start as laner, jungler or roamer.


KOSHKA (JUNGLE/ASSASSIN)

Koshka is an in-your-face assassin adept at getting the kill and then getting out. She should focus on assassinating weak targets and locking down the most lethal enemy. She is extremely fast at clearing jungle camps, making her an ideal jungler. Confident players will even invade the enemy-side jungle for fun and profit.


CATHERINE (ROAM/PROTECTOR)

Catherine brings the most reliable stun and disruption skills to teamfights and ganks. Hard to kill and great at chasing, she can secure kills and turn around fights that would otherwise be lost. Catherine can soak up damage and strike fear on sight. She is best roaming between jungle and lane.

PETAL (LANE/SNIPER)

Petal commands a flock of munion pets she uses to swarm her enemies from distance. She excels at long, sustained fights where damage from her small army really adds up. She can even single-handedly take out important objectives such as the Gold & Minion Mines.


RINGO (LANE/SNIPER)

Ringo is often played as the primary damage dealer for his team. He can shoot at blinding speeds and finish off fleeing enemies with an epic fireball that follows foes across the battlefield. Incredibly weak in the early game, Ringo players should focus on earning as much gold as possible in the lane before picking big fights.


ABOUT THE FREE HERO ROTATION

The free hero rotation unlocks six heroes each week to play as long and as much as you want in the Casual queue. It’s an opportunity to test drive heroes before using ICE or Glory to unlock them. The free rotation changes every Tuesday and heroes in the rotation usually won’t return for a few weeks or months afterward, so unlocking heroes is always worthwhile. The free rotation does not apply to Ranked play to ensure players are already very familiar with the heroes they play in that try-hard environment with skill tiers at stake.
