Hero Review

Yunan: The King of Sand (and Snail-Paced Mana)

"Remember when Yunan was the scariest tank in the game? Neither do we, it's been that long. We dust off the Sand King to see if his healing reduction and sand damage can still scratch the surface of the current meta, or if he's just building castles in the sky."
