6.  Death Knight

His “Death Knight” title never made sense while he was alive.

Death Knight is another recent addition, with a simple but flexible playstyle.  His passive is simple, turning his melee gauntlet into a fiery saw, which deals extra damage and puts a flaming damage-over-time effect on whoever was hit.  His ability is what makes him as strong as he is currently.  With a swing of his sword, he fires 3 fireballs in a cone pattern, meaning that someone close to the start of the fan receives full damage immediately.  Being close to an enemy and popping his ability can kill nearly the entire cast in a single shot, which has caused the community to cry foul.

Death Knight’s strength and high pick rate in competitive matches is based entirely around the high damage potential of his ability.  Unfortunately for Death Knight players, the developers have announced that they plan to change this ability in the future, so his position in rankings like this one may change in the future.  However, as he is right now, Death Knight is a solid pick, having no great disadvantages in up-front combat and being more dangerous the closer he gets to his opponent.
