Draft advice
Brock is a reasonable middle pick — check which counters are still open before locking it.
Learn the pick-order logic in the drafting guide.
When not to pick
Skip Brock when the map layout works against the sharpshooter role, when an unfavourable matchup is still open on the enemy side, or when your team already has the same role covered.
