While skill is a pretty important factor when it comes to winning in MOBAs, some players often overlook the fact that the way they build their character is equally as important. In this article we'll be giving you some helpful tips and advice that will assist you quite a bit when you're trying to figure out how to build your character in a MOBA game.

Perhaps the most important thing about character builds is that you should never fully copy a build that you found on an online guide. Although these guides do provide a lot of helpful information that can definitely help you build your character the proper way, the builds in these guides are often situational and therefore might end up being inefficient for you. You must know when to adapt your builds according to the situation of the match that you're currently in.

Try crafting your build in a way that it complements the strength of your current team composition. Players often don't realize the fact that there is a massive variety of items that they can purchase in order to increase the strength of their comrades in battle. Although these items might not always be the best choice, you should definitely consider purchasing them if one of your teammates is performing well so you can bolster their performance even further thereby making sure that you come out ahead of your opponents.

Level your character's abilities according to the situation around you. Many newbie players make the mistake of deciding their character's ability order before the game even starts and this ends up making their build suboptimal. Consider this; if you're falling behind of the enemy laner then you probably shouldn't try to max out your dueling spells first because you likely won't be able to take your enemy down in a one versus one battle. Therefore, in this situation it'd be wiser to max abilities that can help you stay alive and farm minions so that you can stay relevant in the latter part of the game.

Always remember that if you can't carry the game on your own, you have a team behind you that potentially can. One of the most common mistakes that players make in MOBA games is thinking that they won't be able to win the game if they aren't outputting an absurd amount of damage. There will always be games in which you'll fall behind and therefore won't be able to have much of an impact in terms of damage. In these games it's better to take the back seat and go for a supportive build that prioritizes vision control and tankiness because it'll allow you to soak up damage from your enemies and in-turn give your allies a window to dish out damage on their own.

All things considered, as long as you keep the aforementioned advice in mind when building your character in a MOBA match, we guarantee that your final build will be optimal and will therefore help you succeed.
