Oh boy! As an ares main let me help you slaughter with him next time you play. Use his passive to your advantage and build right for it. In doing so you maximize protections as well as damage output becoming an absoulute bully. Yes most go with cooldown which cam be a bully in itself too. But thats if your team is all built cooldown and have good sync team for an ares pull. Make sure you have blink so can suprise ult. Try and land your chains for best damage cause once hook them let them burn and let your team do the rest. If do play ares be aggressive but be smart bout it too dont put your team at risk for nothing. But also dont sit back with ares as he is a bully god for sure.
