Angus & Shorty are a Dwarven Mortar team controlled by two players. However, unlike Cho'Gall, they only take up one hero slot - - that is to say a team with Angus & Shorty among their ranks would consist of six players. I realize this is something that Blizzard would probably never do. Just enjoy it though because its a fun concept.



Angus is the gunner and controls the movement for both players. His job is to get the team into position and set-up the mortar. Once ready to go he can begin launching his long distance attacks and buying time with his rail gun if necessary. Angus is in charge of all of the damage dealing.



What's left for Shorty? He is in control of the ammo , setting up different boxes of munitions and supplying Angus with the proper explosives he needs at any given time. Shorty can move freely anywhere within a small radius of Angus. If the team needs to retreat Shorty must collect his ammo boxes before they leave or incur a hefty cooldown.

The Dwarven Mortar team would be a hard hitting hero. I feel this is justified as you need two players working in tandem. Shorty is undoubtedly the more passive unit, but he would still need to be actively contributing for the pair to reach their full potential. A few other notes about Angus & Shorty:

- Only Angus has a health pool (or else their individual health pools would be too small). If Angus dies, Shorty dies too. Their death collectively counts as one takedown for the enemy team. Since Shorty has no health pool he cannot block skillshots or body block; he is essentially intangible.



- Their abilities are cooldown based and do not require mana.
