Beastmaster is a melee strength initiator. He is a versatile hero, capable of being played more as a utility/semi support or a tank/semi-carry. It is perhaps because he doesn’t fit full into either role that he is a fairly rare pick both competitively and in public matchmaking.
Nonetheless, his abilities grant him access to a fantastic stun, a strong team aura, good early burst damage, and incredible map vision.
