Hello. Let me introduce myself. My name is Li Li - adventuress, nature lover and superb caretaker. But that last one is just because of my uncle and his drinking probl...



...ahmm where was I? Anyway. Please join me for a cup of cold brew and I will tell you all about my adventures in the Nexsus, and all the nice tilted people I find there every day. :)

Li Li



Who is Li Li?

Li Li



Hah. How long did it take you to think of that lame joke? ;)

...Longer than I care to admit. Can we please get back to the guide. People are starting to get annoyed.

Yeah, sorry. But you said something about tilting in the title so, ... :P



See - annoying. This is what everyone has to deal with, when she is around. Cute and annoying, with a side order of blinding damage.



OK, that was just mean! Hi folks. In this guide I will try to help you understand one of the most missunderstood heroes in the Nexsus -. And since she can't resist a good adventure, she eagerly insisted on joining in and lending a hand. So let's begin.is a young pandaren, proficient in helping other people, stopping dangerous creatures from harming her friends, and generally a very nice lady, unless someone happens to really get on her nerves. You now what they say - don't poke a bear with a stick.See - annoying. This is what everyone has to deal with, when she is around. Cute and annoying, with a side order of blinding damage.

What is Li Li's role. Top

Li Li



Average? NEWB? Gurrr....

Shush!



In the hands of an experianced player, and picked in the right conditions, Li Li Tassadar Lúcio Thrall Artanis Sonya



And this is why I said Li Li Li Li In a way she is a support-bruiser hybrid. And there is your answer - you pick, when you need the extra sustain of a second support, but also a hero, who can deny a lot of enemy damage, deal a fair ammount of damage and hold a solo lane.



Let me explain. A bruiser needs to do few key things:



[*] - Assist the tank with CC and soaking/negating damage. - Li Li Fast Feet

[*] - Dealing some damage. - Li Li

[*] - Bring some sort of extra utility. - Here is where Li Li Cleanse Shrink Ray

[*] - Solo laning. - All supports have good basic kits to solo lane. The point of solo laning is to stay in lane and soak XP. Li Li Healing Brew



So you see, the little cute panda can suprise many players, once you get to know her limits and capabilitis. And there is nothing more rage inducing than having Li Li



Never underestimate a Pandaren. We can certainly kick some tail. :) In the hands of a novice playerwill be a fairly average hero. She is often asociated with newb players, because of the lack of targeted abilities. All of her abilities are automated.In the hands of an experianced player, and picked in the right conditions,can bring a lot to a team. She is situational hero, and used to counter enemy picks. But when is she better to play, than lets say, or, who are also prefered as secondary supports? Well that is the wrong question actually. The correct one is when is she better than, oror...And this is why I saidis under appriciated. She is not only a secondary support. Actually she has more in common to a bruiser, than the rest of the supports.has AOE blind for soaking damge and can further specialize into Slow, and hermake her remarcably good for baiting enemy aggretion.can dash out a good amount of damage for a support, from a fairlty long distance, even reaching the enemy backline, which most bruisers can't do.- Here is whereshines. She has good extra healing, posessesto deny enemy crowd control,to counter dive and hypercarry compositions, and she is very resiliant towards CC herself.- All supports have good basic kits to solo lane. The point of solo laning is to stay in lane and soak XP.can selfsustain with, and her range poke can bully and even force melee solo laners out of the lane, denying them XP.So you see, the little cute panda can suprise many players, once you get to know her limits and capabilitis. And there is nothing more rage inducing than havingheal your damge on her and constantly blind you for an insane ammount of damage, every time you get close to her, beating you in 1v1. And when the enemy is enraged and tilted, they make mistakes.

Li Li



Heeyyy! What did you just say?!

Easy, easy. Just chacking if you are still paying attention. ;)

Okay, so, I'm all like, "Hey, what's up?" and you're like, I'm gonna poke you and I'm all, "Whacha doin'?" and you're like, I'm gonna keep poking you and I'm like, "Seriously?" an' you're all just like poking me? Like, what's your deal...

I am just making sure you are not missing on the action, that's all.

You know you are alot like my uncle.

Oh? I am?

Yeah - you are. So, be careful not to drink too much healing brew. It can make you stupid. And fat. Oh, and lazy.

(-_-)

:P



See how annoying she can be? As I was saying Li Li Fast Feet Blinding Wind Li Li Blinding Wind Li Li Li Li



In 1v1 situation - during the laneing phase or later into the game, use Li Li Blinding Wind Cloud Serpent Jug of 1,000 Cups Blinding Wind



Your camp clear is not terrible, so in the downtime you can go camping, but don't make it a priority. Li Li



Hey those forts dont grow on trees, ..or maybe they do...

Does it matter? It is not our fort.

I was just wondering how do they build stuff in the Nexsus. Have you ever been to Thunder Bluff? The tauren built an entire city on top of a mesa using tents. You know, I wonder...where do they go...you know...

Li Li! Can we talk about something else?

Well it is a curious thing. Think about it. They are tents. And it's not like you can just dig a hole in the ground. You need some type of plumbing...

...Uh, got something to say?



So Playstyle. Playstile... Oh yeah here is something. Don't hold to your Jug of 1,000 Cups



Other than this just be as annoying as you can be. Kind of like Li Li Blinding Wind is a very generic, easy to use hero, who for the most part is a healbot battery, with the ocasional blind. She is only ever suited for newbs and...See how annoying she can be? As I was sayingis a very generic hero and can be played like that. However her kit is such, that she can be have fairly unique playstile, in the hands of a pro. More precisly she is very good at baiting enemy heroes into attacking her, thinking she is out of position and easy to kill, and then leaving them blinded and vulnerable to counter agretion. On first glanceprovides a very small buff, however it is significant enough to make any sort of melee hero unable to stick with her, and she can recover from crowd control very quickly. This combined with therfor preventing auto attack damge, means thatis fairly safe positioning near the tank on the frontline, where she can poke the enemy with auto attacks, or even reach the enemy backline for a quick burst with. And this is where you want to be as. She is not a hero who wants to dive the enemy team, nor one that wants to protect and heal her team when they are being dived. Insteadwants to be the target of the enemy team. Her mobility provides her with the perfect baiting mechanism and heer cluch debilitation makes her very hard to kill. Also if you bait an enemy hero on top of you, that lets your tank CC them, while not having to engage the enemy team. This has advantages such as controlling the terain you fight on.In 1v1 situation - during the laneing phase or later into the game, use's mobility to kite enemy melee heroes. Useto damage them, and stutterstep landing auto attacks. Your self sustain can let you trade damage with enemy heroes. If they think they can mess with the cute panda, and are going HAM on you, usefor some extra dps. If you have, you can bait an enemy into thinking you are about to die, so they overextend. Then pop it run into them filling your health back, and finish them off.burst is not to be underestimated when you take the proper talent at level 1.Your camp clear is not terrible, so in the downtime you can go camping, but don't make it a priority.is relatively safe hero to split push, but not one that can do it fast. When you see the enemy team on the other side on the map, don't be afraid to push their fort.Does it matter? It is not our fort.Li Li! Can we talk about something else?So Playstyle. Playstile... Oh yeah here is something. Don't hold to yourfor too long. Use it when someone is being focused and still has half health, or he will be bursted down. Also use it to get your team to full health even if not in the middle of a fight, just to let them continue with the aggression.Other than this just be as annoying as you can be. Kind of like:). Be as aggressive as possible, walk forward and dismount heroes, get "out of position" to bait, and as soon as someone takes the bait useand run back. If they don't take the bait drop your damage anyway and retreat. Don't be afraid to trade damage, especially against heroes with no selfsustain. You can heal to full, but they can't. Generally be in the enemy's face as much as you can. Force them to focus on you and not your damage dealers, so they can deal damage freely.

When to pick Li Li. Top

Li Li



Hey. Can you do me a favor?

What favor?

I forgot my bag with fresh ingredients outside, can you go get it?

But we are making a guide. Can't it wait?

Pleaseee.

OK, ok. I'l be back in 5 minutes.





Now, since he left it's time to do this guide thingy the right way, he he. All right, let's go!

You know the best part about exploring the Nexus? It’s I get to see a new world every twenty minutes or so.

And all kinds of weird people... ...and things.



Illidan Blinding Wind Oh hey look a. Does he look a bit like a flower with all of those pointy things he has, or is it just me that thinks that? No wonder I have to use myall the time around him. He keeps trying to stick my friends with his pointy ends. For some reason he gets all angry. Something about his cooldowns not refreshing. It is kind of hard to understand him when he shouts, how he is not prepared. And every time I get picked to get into some game, he is always there. The same story every time. He runs into my team, I blind him, he dies. Honestly It feels like we have been doing the same thing for 10 000 years already.



And when he is not there, it is that cook, with the big knife, looking for some fresh meet. And the doggy dude. Well actually there are 2 of them. Or is one a wolf? Not important. Sometimes I meet cool people too. What's an adventure if you can't share it with few friends. Though they sometimes shoot at me with guns and rifles, and miniguns and crossbows. Oh and my Uncle's ninja friend, that keeps splitting into 3 is also so annoying sometimes. I can never tell who is the real one, before I blind them all. Some people try to hit me too, like that priest, or the big scary man with the lightning sabers - Dailam,... Diilaam... Dillon? I don't know his name, because he has no mouth so... It's weird. I wonder how he drinks his brew.



Hey Li Li where did you put that bag with ingredients? I can't find it anywhere.

Oh funny story.

It always is with you, isn't it?

Turns out the bag was here the whole time. Sorry.

Hilarious. (-_-)



Well back to the guide then. So you want to pick Li Li



I already told them all that.

You did?

Yeah.

All of it? About countering Illidan

Sure.

And The Butcher Greymane

Yeap.

How about Tracer Raynor Tychus Valla

Yes, yes. All of them.

Did you mention Samuro Kharazim Artanis

Artanis Who was

The big Protos. With the energy blades.

You mean Dillon?

It is called Daelaam. And that is the name of his people. Their species is Protos.

Protos? Where are they from?

You can say they are from a galaxy far far away.

(-_-) I have seen Star Trek dummy, you are not funny.

Are you going to start sulking now?

...Ok suit yourself.



Li Li Now in shortcounters auto attack heroes. Pick her for that and to bring joy to the enemy team with her bright and loving personality. Just remember to keep the other team tilted at all times. Winning the psychological war is half the job done. The rest is not important. is regarded as a low ceiling, entry level support, and she totally is an entry level support, but under the correct conditions and with the correct playstyle she becomes a little beast.Well back to the guide then. So you want to pickin a game to counter...
