SwoleBenji YT BIG DMG Fast Farm Mobile Carry Tank

This allows you to speed farm creep waves AND the jungle to get mega-farmed and then out-trade other players while having amazing mobility and chase. Late game you become tanky and will still deal massive damage. THIS Apollo does NOT fall off late-game!
