Varok Saurfang is a renowned orc warrior of the Blackrock clan. A decorated veteran of Azeroth’s First, Second, and Third great wars, Varok is an experienced fighter whose courage knows no bounds. Varok’s trait allows him to slam his iconic battle axe into the earth, disarming himself to take a stand with his team. Or, if disarmed he can wrench the axe from the earth after a short channel to ready himself for skirmishing. Varok is a warrior whose playstyle revolves around his trait, which shifts him between being a bruiser to a point control tank. This flexibility comes at a cost. Varok is low mobility, and it takes time for him to arm himself again after using his trait. To play Varok to his full potential, a player needs to take advantage of his trait and the window of power gained when using his trait to make a stand.
He is be strong on point control maps, or on maps like infernal shrines where the objective is stationary. His lack of mobility and slow recovery time cause him to suffer on larger maps or against compositions built around poke damage.
