Warcaster earns a 3.7/5.0 rating because he is the definition of a 'polarized' champion. His S-Tier performance in Clan Boss is what carries this score; without his Unkillable utility, he would likely sit in the 2.5 range. His Void affinity is a massive strength, ensuring consistency across all Clan Boss affinities, and his base speed is high enough to make gear requirements accessible. However, his score is held back by his lack of versatility. He offers almost zero value in high-level Doom Tower, Hydra, or Iron Twins where buff-stripping and boss mechanics bypass [Block Damage].
