Frist days of the Sin War Top

I don't believe The Butcher is as OP as people say. True this is only the second day since his relase but he needs a good team behind him. Ruthless Onslaught can hurt you as much a it can help you. This build aims to have sustain and a fair amount of damage and threat to you enemies. I take Buring Rage instead of Spell Shield at level 13 because it helps clear waves and keep meat dropping. Lambs to the Slaughter seems to be much more useful than Furnace Blast ( assuming your team knows what they are doing). I opt for Nexus Blades instead of the other choices because the added damage and slow just suit him very well.

I don't upgrade Lamb to the Slaughter because I love picking off one person instead of keeping their team with them. This is a great build for helping your team with exp. If you see and empty lane and there is no threat of a team fight, fill that lane!

This is my first guide/build so it is short but hopefully sweet. Any thoughts or ideas or improvments, please let me know! Good luck in the Nexus and keep Butchering!!!

P.S. I will add more as I play more with The Butcher.
