What Belerick is bad at
- Very low personal damage means he can't punish backline squishies alone; his taunts need teammates to follow up
- Ancient Seed's vine telegraphs the delayed taunt, giving mobile heroes time to dodge the second hit entirely
- Taunt forces enemies to attack him but doesn't stop them from casting skills at his own teammates
- No dash or blink of his own, so once he's out of position he can't reposition to threaten a taunt
