Welcome

Hello, and welcome to my Guan Yu guide for any and all 80% CDR modes of the day. In this guide you will learn how to:
Change your cast type
Press 1
And that's about it.

Summary

What makes Guan Yu so OP in 80% CDR types is his heal.

The first thing you want to do is set your Cast Type to "Instant Casting". This allows you to press 1 and have your heal immediately happen.

The second thing you want to do is LEVEL UP YOUR HEAL. That's right, level up your heal as much as you can (That's your Conviction/1). If you can't level up your 1, level up Warrior's Will, your 2. This is your escape.

During the match, just mash 1 until your hand hurts, and do it even more. BE CAREFUL: Always have an ally within radius of you to infinitely heal.

Why does this work? W/ Video

Well, the 80% CDR lowers your Conviction's Cooldown to less than 2 seconds. Then, if you heal an ally that's not yourself, it lowers all of your cooldowns (INCLUDING IT) by 2 seconds. Do you see where this is going? Anyways, here's the video:

But it does. It starts at 40% and max is 80% cdr. Well some game modes are, the others are pure chaos.

Cooldown reduction items doesn't work in these game modes. You can't get less cooldown than 80%.

Edit: Also you shouldn't level up your escape, since you only use it to escape and not to deal damage.

What I love about Guan Yu is that Hel always gets banned. If Hel doesn't get banned, I always go HelLock.

It works because people doesnt not know how to counter this...
If the other team chose to go with Odin and 4 Zeus (or 3 Zeus + 1 Hel), you're all dead.
Even if they don't go anti-healing actually. With 4 Nu Wa that syncs their ultimate with Divine Ruin you'll be screwed as well.

That's a fine hack, but that's not the only one. Hel does the same thing, except that she can buy Rod of Asclepius and Lotus Crown.
