HGC: Aeonia_Jonathan by Requiem

Jonathan is probably one of the best ranged heroes ingame (including heroes from kr server).
Usually he´s supposed to line and it´s very hard to hunt him down. With Stylish Jump he´s able to avoid anything, even bingyokyungs ulti, etc.
If you´re fast enough when it comes to dispelling even his Ultimate is an awesome skill. He deals less damage than Dukan endgame, but he´s also much less vulnerable than him.

Advantages of "Advanced Item Build":

Jonathan will hardly get hit. You either stalk enemies with low hp or avoid fights at all at early and mid game. In my opinion you don´t need the hp early on.
Sure, Raiksha can 1hit you with his ulti, but you´re dead anyways once you get stunned and ganked. You must watch out and try to make sure you´re not gonna get hit by any stun.
It´s not that hard as it sounds like.

How to Level:

As Jonathan you usally stay line, so i suggest (like for all lining chars who are able to forward line well) left forward lane. Get the creeps aswell who spawn close to you.
You might get ganked (liners on kr server got usually a short lifetime Razz

), so make sure you use Stylish Jump to avoid them and to escape from dangerous situations.
Your main aim (like for all liners) is to grow up as fast as you can. After that you support your team and dominate in pvp since you should outlevel enemy team easily.

How to fight:

Basicly you will stay at range and get your enemies down really quick at ganks. Don´t use Stylish Jump to stalk enemies, just if you´re 100% sure there´re no enemy ambushes.
Once an enemy hero with huge ulti dmg, just like Raiksha, Chadol, etc. get´s close to you, you got to jump away. This is a mandatory fact you got to keep in mind.
Otherwise you´ll die.... no matter what item build you´re using. Just keep this in mind and Jonathan might become your new favourite hero.
Use your ulti once you´ve seen some enemies using magic protection which got dispelled. Don´t save it up for too long, because, like most ultis, a 150 seconds Cooldown
isn´t that much and if you can make sure you´re gonna win this one gank due to your ultimate, then you should use it.
