Stukov is a very strong support, at one point he was the best support in the game. He has been nerfed slightly since, but is still a tier S support and one which has both immense offensive and defensive potential if you know how to play him right. We will talk about all that and more in this video!

All you need to know about every build and talent for Stukov! Lots of Stukov specific tips and tricks and playstyle explanations as well! There will also be a Stukov Grandmaster VOD Analysis(in a separate post) to add even more coverage to the hero!

Nice! :) So now I want to learn Stukov. Any recommendations how to learn and practice? I have whatched the Samuro guide and started practicing in Quick Match. But I feel like that's the wrong way. I got a 65% win rate in qm and only 35% in Ranked on Samuro. Unranked is more or less unplayable in EU because of very long queues and on top of that 75% dodged games. So basically the queues in Unranked are about 60 minutes per game. xD

Excelent guide! Thank you so much Fan! :)

hey fan once again great guide. I do have a question about landing the w consistently. It really feels slow and the hitbox is very narrow. How do you land it?

ulkus

It is easier to land if you are closer to the target, like Leoric W. Combine it with auto attack or wait for someone else to land a cc and chain cc. Also it's easier to land if you throw it into a group of enemy heros.

Unfortunately that is probably the best option at the moment, quick match into ranked. Quick Match lets you practice the hero mechanics, but the team compositions are dramatically different then ranked usually, so just keep that in mind and try to adjust to your ranked team comp when you go over to SL

fanhots

It's just a matter of practice and getting used to the projectile speed. I recommend going to try mode and spamming it over and over on the try mode bot until you can hit him every time. Once you know the speed and hitbox by heart it gets a lot easier.

i am gold rank thanks to your guides (soak is cheat) and i feel like doing full E build rly makes stukov shine especially when u have a team that can root and slow but what build would u recommend if my team doesnt have those CC

fanhots

If your team has no CC then try the other build I mentioned in the video, you can go for more solo-setup with your root and take more of the cdr and healing talents instead.

Hi there Fan, new student here. I don't know if you still read old posts comments but I'll leave one anyway especially given that being in Europe following streams is unlikely for me. I'd say I'm myself a Stukov main since that's the only character I lvl100 mastery.. and yet I wasn't aware of the Heal build... So a big thanks for that. I have 2 questions though : About the bad lvl20 on E, I personnally like to pick it on E build with the lvl13 refresh talent so that I can pop out an instant extra area of silence if I want to (without even waisting my spell if it was already refunded by lvl13). I feel others lvl20 are not powerful enough for the E thing to be an absolute no go and I'd like to hear your opinion about it. To me the -25% heal of the level16 Q infinite heal always felt too much of a loss to be pickable, you seem to believe it is not under some circumstances. To this, I wonder if picking that lvl16 should systematically induce taking the lvl20 on heal or not ? or even the opposite and exclude that possibility ?

fanhots

I think the level 16 is pickable like you said. I feel like the level 20 heal is the one that I mostly consider unpickable because the numbers are too small on that one for a level 20. If you are winning games with level 20 E then it seems fine for your playstyle but I definitely think its weak and you would be better off with one of the ultimate upgrades + normal E. Losing the damage portion of your E is just a very huge loss for stukov. I'd recommend spamming games and getting used to the ulti upgrade as I feel like those are definitely better.
