Mmm... To be quite frank, and don't let this influence your decision on whether or not to hydra, I personally wouldn't hydra in my first go through. I respect Kuz for his reason for hydraing with the beginners, but in order to learn how to win, you gotta learn how to lose. I don't know you, but if you're anything like me, chances are you'll hear what Kuz has to say about reads and be a little nervous to put in your opinion. But alone, you'll have free range to think and say what you want. And yea I suppose this can be seen as like training wheels, but it's meh to me. That's all assuming you're town. If you're scum, then with or without the hydra partner, you'll have your scummates behind ya. I, personally, don't think that's the best of reasons to hydra. But hey, more power to ya

Good luck in your first game though. You'll enjoy it.
