Viscous vs Kelvin

Your game plan as Viscous

A blob of goo who saves allies and punches enemies through walls.

How to beat Kelvin

A support-tank who keeps his team alive and the enemy team slow.

• 01Bait out Frozen Shelter before you use your big ultimate; the dome blocks line of sight.
• 02Kill him on the ground; Ice Path is his escape.
• 03Burst through his heals with anti-heal.

1. 01Farm is close (-0.9 last hits per match), so trades decide this lane, not last hits.
2. 02Kelvin has sustain (Frost Grenade, Frozen Shelter). Short, sharp trades beat long ones — buy anti-heal early.
