Treant Protector

Rooftrellen the Treant Protector is a melee strength Hero who excels in supporting and strengthening the lane by providing his allies greater survivability via continuously replenishing their health and granting invisibility so long as the target stays near the tree line. His scariest feature however is his ultimate, providing one of the longest area disables in the game.

Treant Protector requires multiple skills to be played effectively; most prominently timing, map awareness and enemy prescience. His only real use on a team is his abilities, and since they are utilitarian rather than directly offensive in nature they must be used judiciously and pragmatically; and the very high cost of his abilities makes wise judgement of their expenditure even more important. Treant Protector is recommended for intermediate players.

Tips

 * Using Nature's Guise on allies during a gank gives them the element of surprise, and owing to the extremely variable nature of this mechanic the enemy team will struggle to use Sentry Wards to prevent this.
 * Although he is quite tanky, his offensive output is very minimal and once he has initiated with Overgrowth he should conceal himself, firing Leech Seeds from nearby trees (keep in mind at all times that Roof can use abilities without breaking his invisibility).
 * In a gank, use Nature's Guise to sneak around behind the enemies, as if Leech Seed is used on an enemy running towards you instead of away from you escape will be almost impossible; to say nothing of Overgrowth.
 * In most circumstances Roof is most wisely built to maximise his abilities' usage, his lack of mobility and damaging spells mean he is best suited to securing kills for his allies via his slowing and disabling abilities.
 * A Soul Ring is a good early pick-up for Rooftrellen, as it allows him to spam his Leech Seed as an effective harassment tool while also healing off the damage from the Soul Ring. It also helps solve his mana problems early to mid game.

Trivia

 * Rooftrellen has "Riki was 'ere" carved into his side (Near the right handed runes on his belt)
