Overview

Kelvin is a top-tier support this patch (S-tier, ~53% WR). With Frost Grenade, Ice Path and Arctic Beam he covers damage, slow, healing and rotation at once, and Frozen Shelter ultimate can freeze a target and rapidly heal allies inside. Patience and lane control are the keys to playing him well.
