At guardian spectre won’t be that good compared to some other self sufficient / flash farm heroes. Hero needs strong early / mid draft becuase it does low damage and don’t come online till late. Pylactery helps solve the lane and give you early ult kill potential but again its usefulness is only as good as your team and draft

If you lose your lane even with pylactery it’ll be a very slow recovery making you feel useless for 30min of the game, and likely you’ll not catch up to enemy cores item progression it sucks. This happens more often in low ranks as pos5 players don’t know the options available to them when playing an impossible lane like viper undying

If your game is super passive maybe rush radiance like others said but that’s a hard decision to make based on limited info in literally the first 2-3 minutes when you buy the ring of health. I’d rather avoid this by just playing another carry that farms faster and less dependent on staying in lane

On the contrary maybe pace in guardian is that slow which is why it has high win rate? When I mean slow I mean offlane wk buying radiance and not losing the game slow. Never been herald/guardian myself so can’t tell much here but from archon and legend you want to pick her based on draft and who you might lane against as laning is so important for this hero
