When to skip Scourge
Only one instance can be active on a hero, so it does not stack with a second Scourge.
Problems it answers
- Sustained spirit damage — “Their abilities chip me down constantly.”
- Stuns and hard CC — “I get locked down and deleted.”
- Burst damage — “I die before I can react.”
- Unkillable frontline — “I cannot kill their tank.”
Heroes that make this worth a slot
Heroes whose kit creates the problems Scourge answers. This is derived from kit properties, not from measured build results.
