One of the many murderers you can play as.


10.  Sorlag


Why didn't they name the lizard Scalebearer?

Sorlag is basically a slower, but somehow more agile Anarki.  She is a heavy class champion, but her CPMA movement is very tight, allowing her to reach much higher speeds than the other heavies while also being able to turn corners too tight even for Anarki.  This lets you play Sorlag like an agile beast, hunting her prey by bounding around the maps.  Her ability vomits up four acid projectiles that do moderate damage and applying one of the game’s few damage-over-time effects.  The real beauty here is that the acid pools from her vomit stay on the ground for some time, meaning that if another player steps in the area, they are given the damage over time effect, and the damage numbers that pop up over the victim’s head, allowing Sorlag to track the now-poisoned enemy.

Sorlag and Anarki have a similar playstyle, but that tracking ability her acid spit grants her is more useful than anything Anarki can do.  Positioning and awareness of your enemy’s location is what wins fights at a high level of play, and there have been a few times where a good Sorlag has been surprisingly effective, being able to get where she wants easily while also keeping tabs on her opponent.

Champion Power Rating:  77/100
