How to beat Pocket

A trickster who hides in a suitcase and then hits you with a shotgun.

• 01Wait out Enchanter’s Satchel instead of wasting abilities into it.
• 02Affliction can’t kill you — don’t panic-use cooldowns.
• 03Shoot the Flying Cloak path; he’ll teleport there.

1. 01Pocket wins the farm by ~10.8 last hits per match. Prioritise safe last hits and denies over trades, and let your lane partner zone.
2. 02Pocket denies ~1.3 more orbs per match — secure your orbs before they can.
3. 03Pocket looks for burst windows. Don’t sit in lane at low health, and ping the moment they disappear — they’re hunting.
