Kowz McGinnis Ouchie Turret Build

Version 5. Small updates to the items and a few annotations. This build starts off durable with a focus on early gun options before transitioning into turrets in the mid game.

Elendilli - GIGA ULT BUILD + INFINITE TURRETS (V5)

Full Guide: youtube.com/watch?v=YGkB3pHe088 (made half a year ago so some parts outdated but info is still relevant). (There is a Heroic Aura version of this build use search). Twitch.tv/Elendilli rare streams If you have questions, ask me @Elendilli in the Official Deadlock Discord in the #McGinnis channel. This build focuses on maxing ultimate which deals infinity damage (Midboss/Enemy base is our best place to use it). Turrets are secondary to ult but turrets still scale really well into mid/late game

Elendilli - Infinite Gun Damage Solo Carry (V14)

Twitch.tv/Elendilli | Youtube This build has a similar feeling to the 'Solo Carry' build 2+ years ago. If you have questions, ask me @Elendilli in the Official Deadlock Discord in the #McGinnis channel. This is a high tempo build (high pressure for enemies) that buys a lot of 1600 and 3200 items to become strong as possible early on, giving the enemies less breathing room. Playing with allies (2 or 3 players at least) will give you the best results for this highly active build (Ironic, I know).

Elendilli - Infinite Gun Damage Solo Carry (V13)

Twitch.tv/Elendilli | Youtube This build has a similar feeling to the 'Solo Carry' build 2+ years ago. If you have questions, ask me @Elendilli in the Official Deadlock Discord in the #McGinnis channel. Took inspiration from one of the builds Zerggy was running & after testing it for 2 months, it's ready. Modified it to be more efficient + streamlined (L to R) and also annotated EVERYTHING for players who want more specific information. This is a high tempo/aim heavy build so good luck.
