Pro Commentary

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Very high health sustain with his Omen of Famine
  • Very annoying harass potential
  • One of the best ultimates in the game for keeping a carry fighting
  • Hold lanes well 2v1 when AD carry goes back to base
  • Peels well and blocks skill shots with ghouls (Morg bind, Ez Q etc..)

Cons

  • Very weak lategame where he relies on his carries to be strong
  • Omen of War is his only way to escape, which requires a melee auto attack
  • Very mana dependent

Top Counterpicks - Bottom Lane (anything w/ sustain, dont pick yorick)
