Short introduction!

Hey all...

I've noticed that only a few people play Sobek and i think thats a shame.
I play him alot my self, and this guide will quickly tell you why i think you should try him out.

good luck!!

-Mariago

So much Crowd Control!

Sobek has 2 stuns, and a slow in his ultimate.
Its a known fact that supports with stuns are the best for any carry.

You should go on lane with a carry, the best is Anhur.
you simply use (2) to knock the enemy at the wall, then Anhur stuns with his spear, and in the end you use (1) to throw the enemy even further back to your tower.

Try it out! its amazing! :D

Ganging!

Sobek is an amazing ganger! when i play him i always gang in the same way, and it always works!

Here are the few steps you go trough:

1: Go to another lane trough the jungle
2: Activate your ultimate before you enter the lane
3: Your ultimate will then be fully charged when you are at the enemy position.
4: After taking them to half hp with Lurking In The Waters, you use Charge Prey to throw the enemy back to the laners, who will finish the kill.
5: If they need even more help you can use Tail Whip to knock the enemy even further back!

Summary

Please give me some feedback in the comments! :)

He probably means 2 knockbacks. Also, love the guide, but maybe need to do something about the overlapping CC reduction? And I agree that cooldown reduction should be included in must-have items. +1

wait what 2 stuns?

There isn't any detail. Downvoted.

Very good guide from the look of it but I've yet to try it out, also it's called ganking not gambling.

Thanks for your comments! :)
I just updated the guide, so check it out! :)

ive seen him played with anubis, and i can't invision a better combo from any two gods. u can mummify them while they are still in the air and and have them land in your slow them hit them with the locust. unstopable from lvl 1-5. Only downside is they are both magic. both gods are so op it doesnt matter though. the one and only way to beat anubis is to stack mag def the 1st half of them game, and by then you should out lvl by 3 at least.

I think there are plenty of Sobek players (myself included), he just gets banned every round because people forget to stand behind minions and as a result get grabbed. Which regardless I feel like Herc fills the role that Sobek does in early lane, but better because it is from range at zero risk to himself and through minions, so I'm not sure why my boi gets banned EVERY time.

Also I usually get Boots of Celerity for the CR because I also get Hide of the Leviathan and the CC reduction doesn't stack as far as I've seen/heard.

Thanks alot for the comment, i tried with Hercules and it worked really well!! :)
Also tried changing the items a bit, and its pretty strong with Breast Plate!

Try laning with Hercules, he is even better than anhur. Both of you can pull them back, which is excellent for both engagin, and when the enemy is trying to escape. Solid build though, but I would put a Breast Plate of Valor in somewhere to get some CR so you can harras and support some more. You will also be able to use your 3 ability more, which will increase your survivability even more :)
