As the name would imply, Vanguard heroes are what most gamers would call “tanks”. These heroes have the ability to soak up large amounts of damage from the enemy team, without quickly succumbing to death as a result. Vanguard heroes also tend to take up a lot of space in teamfights, imposing their will on enemy heroes such that they can’t go for softer, more valuable targets as easily. Strength heroes generally fall under this category, due to their high base strength and strength gain per level.
