Hero Strategy
You can hook runes. Try to hook an enemy into your allies at the intial bounty rune.
During the laning stage don't play only around the Hook, also use your hero's tankiness and high base damage.
Try to keep the creep equilibrium close to your tower, so you can hook your enemies under the tower.
Meat Hook destroys creeps instantly, except for ancients. Protect your tower by hooking the catapult.
You can heal up signicantly by dismembering a high HP creep.
Find a partner and use smokes to find pick-offs.
Blink Dagger and Aghanim's Shard combined allow you to save your allies instantly.
Fight around vision so you can land your Hooks more easily.
