Introduction Top

First of all, Murky is not a popular champ, but with the right build and combo, can do extraordinary damage. This build focuses on first softening them up with Q-W and then ulting, the resulting damage can 1 shot nearly any squishy. Murky is actually played often and has a surprising win rate and has spiked in popularity recently.Often you will see people pick up March of the Murloc, Okay hithough this ult looks good, it is not good in a 1 vs 1 situation. Which is what you will be doing with this build.

The Build. Top

The build is relatively simple. Bubble breeze to help escape to preserve those precious, precious stacks, living the dream for that extra damage. Octo-grab to lock targets in you fish. And Wrath of Cod to synergies with Slimy Puffer fish for some nice damage. Those 2 talents can also be used for damage on their own when Octo-grab is down. The level 20 talent of course is to add that much needed 300000% damage to your ult. (this makes it do roughly 1000 damage at level 20. You may want to take March of the Murlocs on Sky Temple however)

Murkys pre-10 is also weak at best, if you want to be more useful to your team a good tip is to pick up bribe and push a lane while capturing merc camps. Dont try merc camps without bribe before 7.

Why Murky? Top

Murky bring much needed utility through slows and cc, and has great burst damage. Your deaths don't mean much (Do not die often though, those stacks are important.) If your ultimate is down, and your team needs a distracting, (pushing, boss, mercs, etc.) You can runabout their team and try your best to distract them, this can be very useful at times.

In Conclusion Top

Do not expect love when playing Murky, most assume he is a troll, but doing well will sometimes give you a nice reaction from your team. He is personally my favorite hero and I snatched up his master skin as soon as it came out. Thank you for reading my guide, I hope you can do well with this slimy bastard.
