Levels 1–6- →Play safe in lane and focus on last-hitting to scale into mid-game
- →Avoid prolonged trades with early-game supports; focus on economy
- →Ward river and maintain vision to prevent gank attempts
Mid Game
Post Broken Spear- →Position at maximum attack range during skirmishes; never walk forward
- →Rotate to secure objectives once you have core items
- →Stick with your support/tank to maintain team advantage
Late Game
Teamfight phase- →Maintain proper distance in fights; your damage only matters if you're alive
- →Focus priority targets (supports/mages) once threats are managed
- →Use mobility to reposition between auto-attack chains, never stay stationary

Tips
Pro Tips
- →In the current meta, Tel'Annas struggles against heavy frontline compositions—ban or dodge against multi-tank setups
- →Your win rate indicates you need stronger peel from your team; communicate positioning needs to support in champion select
- →Practice attack-moving to maximize DPS while kiting; raw positioning discipline is the difference between 40% and 50%+ win rate
Tel'Annas is a traditional ADC that excels in favorable matchups but struggles in the current B-tier meta dominated by aggressive supports and tanks. Pick into poke-heavy compositions where your range advantage matters, but expect difficult games against engage-heavy teams. Her low pick rate suggests playerbase has adapted to her weaknesses.
