Fundamentals 2: Hero Pool
Hero Pool First of all, if you are just playing for fun, then just play whatever is fun for you. If you are grinding Elo though, aiming for something like Platinum, Diamond, Master or Grand Master, then you'll most likely need to work on your hero pool. A hero pool is simply a selection of heroes you are proficient with. The more you specialize on a hero the better you will play it, and the higher and faster you'll climb. If you play too many heroes, it will take you a lot of time to get good at them. It's like the analogy of a naïve man searching for water. He digs a small hole, then quickly gives up as he thinks the earth is too dry, and starts a new hole. He then gives up again, for the same reason, and tries yet another place. Eventually, he made lots of holes, and got no water. In order to quickly learn the game, you have to commit to playing only a few heroes in ranked. Especially just one role, whatever it may be. About three heroes to main is a good number. Cover
