Skirmisher heroes are those that have the ability to start teamfights on their own, allowing their team to gain a significant advantage going into the engagement. Such heroes typically have large area of effect stuns, disables, or simply an ability that deals a high amount of damage to multiple targets. Heroes that can negatively affect the enemy team’s positioning or prevent them from mounting a response to the initiation also fall under this category. Skirmishers are often best used by players that have sharp game sense and good decision-making, for a botched initiation can easily swing a teamfight in the enemy team’s favor.
