{{removedfromgame}} [[File:Warrior.jpg|400px|right|thumb|From left to right: Tyrael, Johanna, and Stitches.]] :"''Front-line defenders and bruisers.''" '''Warrior''' heroes are a strong and tough role of [[heroes]]. They often have ways to [[stun]] or [[bodyblock]] the enemy from reaching their allies, and are often very tough themselves. Most warrior heroes should protect their allies. With the [[Caldeum Complex]] event, heroes in this role went into either [[Bruiser]] or [[Tank]] category. ==Warriors Role== Warriors lead the charge into team fights. With high [[health]] pools, powerful [[crowd-control]] effects, and damage reduction capabilities, Warriors buy their teammates time to deliver their own fatal strikes against opponents. In addition to damage mitigation and healing abilities that sustain them in fights, many warriors also have [[root]]s, [[stun]]s, or [[pull]]s, which can disrupt opponents. To be as effective as possible, Warriors will need to be patient in the execution of these control-abilities. Because Warriors are often relied upon to initiate team fights, they'll want to be aware of the location of their teammates at all times. Warriors who charge in too early may lack the back-up they rely on to survive a fight. Conversely, engaging too late may give opponents a window to annihilate squishy allies, like [[Assassin]]s and [[Support]]s. There are different playstyles Warriors should adjust to depending on your team's Hero composition. For example: [[Artanis]] and [[Sonya]] can act as ''[[Bruiser]]s'', front-line heroes who may lack the same amount of [[CC]] as other Warriors, but accent their tank with damage and pressure (and more health than most heroes). Team compositions with smaller health pools but consistent damage output will typically benefit from a '[[peel]]' playstyle, meaning that [[tank]]s will need to attract attention away from their backline assassin and support allies. Alternatively, compositions that prefer to dive aggressively will need their warrior to charge in with the team and remain there until the targets are subdued, the objective has been captured, or the team needs to retreat. ===Tip=== *Seize opportunities to shut down your opponent's powerful [[channeled abilities]] with a well-timed stun or similar crowd control effect; some Heroic abilities, like [[Valla]]'s Strafe and [[Nazeebo]]'s Ravenous Spirit, can be interrupted. *As a front-liner for your team, be on the lookout for objectives and remember that your presence will be needed should a team fight erupt at the corresponding location. *Scouting is key! Use your high health and survivability to lead the way through potentially dangerous areas, and proactively check [[bush]]es to find opponents who may be lying in wait. *Always know where your backliners are. Be sure not to abandon your team, and do your best to disrupt and distract enemies who are attacking your squishier allies.<ref>[http://us.battle.net/heroes/en/blog/20942339/core-concepts-your-role-in-the-fight-8-7-2017 CORE CONCEPTS: YOUR ROLE IN THE FIGHT]</ref> == List of original warrior heroes == {{Hero role table|list="Anub'arak", "Artanis", "Arthas", "Blaze", "Chen", "Dehaka", "D.Va", "Diablo", "E.T.C.", "Garrosh", "Imperius", "Johanna", "Leoric", "Mal'Ganis", "Muradin", "Rexxar", "Sonya", "Stitches", "Tyrael", "Varian", "Yrel", "Zarya"}} == Notes == *[[Varian]] is also a [[assassin]]. == References == {{Reflist}} {{Role nav|{{PAGENAME}}}} [[Category:Warriors| ]] [[es:Guerrero]]
