Ragnaros Tips

- If you're using Quick cast, use ALT+E to self cast Blast Wave on yourself easily.

- Your burst combo is: Self cast Blast Wave > Living Meteor > Auto Attack > Empower Sulfuras will reset your AA and do it again.

- Use your wave clear potential to push multiple lanes in smaller maps.

- You can also jungle and clear camps effectively.

- Be the lane bully, you have sustain, abuse it.

- Be careful not to get ganked when wave pushing.

- Use your Lava Wave to split push another lane when you're positive it will not be needed in a teamfight soon. - You can use your Trait when Sylvanas is pushing your fort to stop her. Be smart about it.

- You can also use your Trait for instance on Sky Temple when Lasers are shooting your fort, you merge with it and absorb some of the damage.
