Snapfire

Snapfire: Ranged, position 2 (mid), Nuker, Disabler, Escape. In patch 7.41f the hero has a 49.0% win rate in pubs and a 8.9% pick rate.

Just as happy to blow your legs off with her trusty scattergun as to fill your belly up with a deliciously-dangerous cookie, Beatrix Snapfire delights in riding into battle with her dragon toad Mortimer, always ready to mow down their enemies with her homemade heavy artillery or finish them off with a steady barrage of Mortimer's firespit globs.
