=== Positioning ===
=== Positioning ===
Managing your positioning will allow you to control more space on the map, be effective in teamfights, deny enemy pushes, and utilize your hero's abilities most effectively.

Positioning in teamfights or in smaller skirmishes is critical, staying safe but active in the fight will allow you to apply pressure to the enemy while removing the opportunity for them to gain an advantage by killing you.
