Review of Enigma by SabeRLight-
Enigma is a versatile hero that can be picked in the first stage, if possible, or picked later to protect against counter-picks. Relevant at positions 3 and 4, and less frequently at position 5. The hero is strong in the lane. Enigma can stand alone even if someone blocks a small camp in the jungle. Enigma has a lot of potential in team fights in the late game. However, some players can outperform their opponents even at the premier game stage. That's all about SabeRLight.
