Well guys, I just starting playing Death Prophet this patch, and I can tell you one thing about her: She is overpowered as all get out!
So, I figured I would build this guide to hopefully show some people how to max her potential before she gets nerf-hammered!
As a Death Prophet, you really, REALLY, want to get into EVERYONE's head. Yes, including your own team-mates. The reason behind this is because DP is a serious captain on the battlefield. For example, you can convince your entire team to fight just by spamming "Exorcism Ready: Level X."
The best way of getting into the player's head - First Blood.
"SO... How do I do that?" You ask... Good question.
Death Prophet has outrageous range and damage for early lane dominance. The whole purpose of you laning mid, is to zone out their mid player.
In my experience, the best thing to do is to harass/trade hits with them until they have about half-health. After that, I would suggest blocking your waves, and getting them to at least step in the river. Once they have done that, you should be able to use your 3rd ability to slow them, while right clicking, then using your 1st as a last result to finishing them off. I have gotten FB in almost every match with DP this way.
Almost IMMEDIATELY after you get that first blood (usually around 3:30-4:00), go for rune, and gank whatever lane the enemy is deepest in. Once again, use your first and second ability to secure kills.
By this point, you should have enough to afford some boots, (maybe phase depending on how well you last hit in your lane) and a TP. Get back to mid and continue to dominate.
Around now, you have gotten your team mates to trust you, and they will most likely follow you to the end of the game, it is just up to you to not lead them to death.
Controlling Your Team
Its time to dominate. You have your ult, and you need to use it. Force the fights, and push the towers. Some good tips for this,
1. Eul's + Silence: This combo is great when used against players that can single handedly screw you, such as Jugg, Voker, OD.
2. The closer you stand to your target, the faster your ghosts will kill it.
3. Your ult's damage is Physical, so armor reduction goes a long way. If you have supports, I would suggest you ask them to get a Medallion, and encourage your carries to get a Deso.
4. Every time your ult is up, force the issue. If you need to, buy wards yourself so that you can push lanes aggressively. Don't complain. As the leader, if your supports see you buying the wards, and placing them aggressively, they will all think aggressively.
