How this matchup plays

Trying to lock down an Ember Spirit is a frustrating experience for Tusk. The entire plan for Tusk is to start a fight with Snowball and finish it with a big Walrus PUNCH. The problem is that Ember has an answer for everything. He can use Sleight of Fist to dodge the punch entirely, or activate a Fire Remnant to escape the moment the Snowball even appears. Tusk ends up wasting his biggest cooldowns on a target that's impossible to pin down, leaving him exposed and ineffective for the rest of the fight while Ember is free to punish the overextension.
