How to play as K'Sante
Follow Hecarim's engage only when your team can reach the target; otherwise peel for your carry or use All Out to isolate a high-value enemy when the team can capitalize.
How to play as Hecarim
When you have a clear angle, build speed with E, use R to start the engage, then aim the empowered E attack to knock a target toward your team. K'Sante can follow with his control once the target is in reach.
