Grimstroke vs Razor

How this matchup plays

Applying Soulbind to a Razor mid-Static Link can scramble his game plan. Grimstroke forces Razor to contend with a second hero, potentially allowing the original link target to escape. The leash from Soulbind can pull Razor out of position and away from the hero he is trying to drain. On the other hand, tethering Razor to another target also groups up enemies for his Plasma Field. It can make it easier for Razor to keep multiple heroes inside his Eye of the Storm, turning Grimstroke's ultimate into a potential liability.

The outcome of this interaction often comes down to who Grimstroke tethers Razor to. Binding him to a fragile support in the back is ideal, creating a clear focus target for the team. Binding him to a second durable core, however, might backfire and give Razor two heroes to chase down at once. As the game goes on, Razor learns to position himself to avoid good Soulbind opportunities, looking for picks away from groups. Grimstroke, in turn, will hold his ultimate for that perfect moment when Razor over-commits, making teamfights a tense positional battle.
