Draft advice
Sprout 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 Sprout when the map layout works against the thrower role, when an unfavourable matchup is still open on the enemy side, or when your team already has the same role covered.
