The following attributes are incredibly valuable on maps with fewer players, most notably Grimm’s: disables, mobility, early-game spike damage, pushing ability, and tanking ability. The heroes listed above boast either exceptional standing in one of those traits or have a healthy mix of several of them. Keeper of the Forest conveys a unique advantage with his Tree Sight, which will give a huge territory advantage in the all-important middle section of the map.
Crap Tier:
- Scout
- Sand Wraith
- War Beast
- Vindicator
