Introduction
I was unhappy with the guide written currently in the premium guides for the hero soulstealer, it states it’s meant for higher levels of play but it doesn’t touch much on a lot of the advanced aspects you should know and expect when playing with the hero. Sure, obviously you’d expect players playing in high levels of play to know these things, but from what I’ve run into in even very high levels of HoN play is astounding to say the least. Some things I’ll be touching on are as follows:
-Basic lane control
-Optimal warding positions
-Basic skill usage
-Advanced bottle techniques

This is not a right click hero, he requires good positioning and map awareness to effectively use your skills and survive in competitive play. He has amazing potential for late game damage and early game lane control, but suffers low hitpoints and no escape mechanism. On top of that, if ganked, you’re basically inviting the enemies to push down towers or raxes due to an inability to defend after losing souls.
