Threat Hero Notes
1
  No Threat
2
SAW In lane, you can kill him if he stand too close to your turret. Just make sure to notify your Lane hero.
2
Ringo His ult has a very visible channeling. Interrupt his ult to make him useless, but have crucible ready in case you fail to stun him.
2
Skaarf Can be annoying, but his ult is highly visible and easily canceled. Just keep your shield up.
3
Ardan Another Tank hero. Don't be afraid to poke him. His ult is rendered useless with your Crucible.
3
Celeste Avoid standing directly in front of her when she ults. If at all possible, stun her to prevent her ult.
4
Adagio Relatively easy to deal with, just mind his annoying slow.
4
Catherine Don't be afraid of them. Just be sure to avoid her early game, and try not to give her too many stacks of Panzer Faust.
5
Koshka If she's weapon power, your armor stacks should protect you. In general, avoid her early game without a partner.
5
Taka He's mostly played as a glass cannon of both weapon and crystal, so you should be able to survive his initial onslaught. Simply stay alive and keep flares with you to ensure a kill.
6
  No Threat
7
Petal She would rank in the green if not for her big ult. Attack the munions whenever possible.
8
Glaive He can throw you way out of position. Avoid him if he uses Afterburn, and don't be afraid to spam your health items.
9
  No Threat
10
Joule She builds up stacks of her Thunder Strike even with your shield. Also, if she's present, always save Warhorn for when she ults.
10
Krul AVOID EARLY GAME! He will tear through you in the early-mid game. If you can keep him from getting kills, he can be downgraded to mid-yellow because of his stun and burst.

Your Role in the Team Top

As "Leader Catherine," your main job is to be... the leader of the team. If you play the game with this build, your job is to take charge and communicate efficiently with your team. Don't be afraid to use your pings, but don't spam and respond to any pings by your teammates. Also, don't spam frowning faces when your teammates screw up, as it will happen from time to time.

Your Role in the Early Game Top

In the early game, your job is to farm and stay alive. Your Oakheart will let you farm in relative peace and stay alive in the event of a gank. It is for this reason that you get Oakheart before Ironguard Contract. You must always be doing something productive in the early game. If you're waiting for jungle camps to respond, go into the lane and hit the enemy lane hero with your Merciless Pursuit to get your Panzer Faust stacks up, or if you have another teammate farming the jungle, stand close to them to get the bonus gold from the Ironguard Contract.

When farming the jungle, always follow this tactic: Attack the bigger minion once, then activate Stormguard immediately. If done correctly, when the shield wears off, both minions should die in one hit. This method will have greater payout once Ironguard Contract is bought.

Your Role in Teamfights Top

With this guide, you act as a hybrid aggressive tank and support. You should initiate the teamfights, and make yourself the biggest target for the enemy. While they focus on you with all your defensive items and abilities, your teammates can safely attack in relative safety. If you spot an enemy breaking away from you to hit your teammates, stun him. Remind him that you are their primary target, that you require all of their attention. With this build, since you are acting as tank, don't be surprised if another of your teammates get most of the kills you did the work for. In the end, you really don't need them.

On a final note, your main goal if your health falls to low is to RUN. You should never die more than 5 times in a 30 minute game. Even if your teammates get mad at you for leaving the teamfight, your life takes priority.
