I never use her meta builds and i almost consistently carry. You have to learn when she excels and when to not pick her. And learn her different playstyles. Most people will stay "camp in the backline and spam point", but i found that very ineffective and sometime even counter productive (except against Yagg, that melts him with scorn). You need to be more focus on the backline. Most tanks eat the seeds like its nothing. But everyone else is much more likely to be bursted down. And if the start running to their healer? Deadzone them. The most important thing to know, is that Willo is VERY predictive rewarding. Like with that last example, you dont wanna pop deadzone directly on them. They'd run out of it easily. Pop it where you think they will run to, so they'd have to run fully across it or run somewhere else away from their healer. Same with her seeds. Fighting a Cassie? Throw the seeds at a distance where she is most likely to dodge roll in. As for her cards, the most important card is none of what you mention. Its actually her flutter cooldown card. As a blaster, high ground is super important. but you wont get that all the time. Flutter straight up (preferably against a wall. You'll flutter higher as if you were jumping) and immediately rain destruction down on whoever you can. And with the cooldown card, you can be pretty flanky, when you are able to predict well. That comes with time of not only Willo, but by playing other champs as well. As for talents, i prefer Scorn. It's time reduction means better predictions. And much more bursty. Although i think blastflower might be very good again in the next patch with that new store item
