Horace Warfield by Sarm Kahel

Like many Warriors, Warfield's primary focus is on keeping his allies from harm, but rather than standing as an unstoppable force before them, he stands with them as a bastion of safety. Using his ranged disruption and Crowd Control, he keeps high threat Enemy heroes at bay, and once enemies do get close he can draw fire to himself, using his Lockdown Mode to slow the progress of the Enemy offensive. Both his Heroic Abilities can be very powerful in the right place, and many of his talents offer utility to him and his allies.

One of the drawbacks of Warfield is his inability to deal reasonable damage. Unless he can kite a foe for an extended period of time, he is very weak when alone. Additionally, both his Heroic Abilities are easy to waste if used in the wrong instant, or against the wrong team. A downside to standing alongside your assassins and support is that you wont be in front of them to protect them if the plan goes poorly, and Warfield offers little assistance once the enemy team closes on your back line.
