I do not know who to pick yet
Start with starter picks, hero comparison, and draft order to narrow the pool before committing to a deeper hero read.
Start with picksTools Hub
This page gathers the site's utility tools in one place. Compared with plain reference pages, they are built to help you decide whether your current question is about draft, comp, lane, build, or patch context.
Where to start first
If you are not sure which tool deserves the first click, start from the question type instead of scanning every entry one by one.
I know the hero, but not the build
Start with Build Planner and Item Helper to solve the current match problem first, then place the item choices back into a full route.
Start with buildsI need comp, lane, or patch answers
Start with team comp, win condition, macro priority, map-window, tempo audit, team threat response, lane assistant, and patch impact tools when the real question is map tempo or environment context.
Start with contextRecommended tracks
Once the tools are chained by real use case, the site starts to behave more like a decision workbench than a loose collection of pages.
Pick and prep
Best for the first 30 seconds before a game when you need to sort the pool and draft order.

Build and counter-build
Best once the hero is locked and you need the route, counters, and swap items quickly.

Comp and environment
Best when the real question is lane, team shape, win pattern, or how the current patch shifts value.

Live tools
These tools are already usable now and are designed to turn static reference pages into faster pre-match decision helpers.
Deadlock Build Planner
Choose a hero first, then the current match problem, to get phased build ideas, swap items, and next-reading routes.
Patch Impact Matrix
Read a patch version as a fast winner/loser matrix, then jump into patch details, meta context, and build follow-ups.
Hero Compare
Compare two or three heroes across difficulty, role, tempo, risks, and opening direction before choosing the next full read.
Starter Recommender
Recommend better starting heroes from comfort, range, and role preference instead of asking a new player to guess alone.
Ranked Unlock Planner
Compress the unlock grind into a practical three-to-five hero pool and identify which hero should carry most of the progress.
Queue Pool Recommender
Switch between solo queue and duo queue first, then sort the hero pool around the current goal instead of guessing from scratch.
Team Comp Helper
Use the current team picks to find the missing comp layer first, then surface better next-pick heroes.
Deadlock Counter Build Advisor
Use your hero and the current enemy threat to surface a better counter-build direction, item shortlist, and swap ideas.
Enemy Threat Checklist
Use your hero and the most dangerous enemy threat to generate a faster checklist for what to stabilize first and where to read next.
Lane Duo / Synergy Finder
Check whether two heroes really fit as a duo, why they fit, and who should start or follow in lane.
Win Condition Checker
Use the current heroes and intended plan to identify how this team is most likely to win the game.
Objective / Macro Planner
Use the current heroes, phase, and game state to identify what the next map move should actually accomplish.
Map Resource / Window Planner
Use the current heroes, timing window, and need state to decide whether the next move should become souls, structure, or a safer reset.
Team Tempo / Damage Audit
Read whether the current heroes lean burst, sustained pressure, control utility, or an awkward split between engage and follow-through.
Team Threat Response Planner
Use the current heroes and enemy pressure type to read what the team should block first, protect first, and who owns the first answer.
Draft Order Helper
Decide whether the current pick should secure comfort, utility, or a later counter slot.
Role Coverage Checker
Audit whether the current team is balanced across frontline, backline, utility, and pick pressure.
Item Decision Helper
Start from whether you need survivability, catch, burst, anti-frontline value, or utility, then narrow down the better item buys.
Patch Winners / Losers Explorer
Use the hottest current patch snapshot to filter winners, losers, and recheck entries across heroes and items.
Item Compare
Put two or three item candidates on one board to compare cost band, active/passive role, hero fit, and alternatives.
Matchup / Lane Assistant
Choose a hero and the lane problem that matters most to get a faster lane plan, dangerous opponents, favorable matchups, and next steps.
