3 Uses of Mortar

1. It can't be ignored, and is very easy to counter, so people will almost always try to destroy it. This can sometimes uncoordinate pushes or defence.

2. If it does get ignored, though, it can deal some very juicy chip damage

3. Can destroy beatdown pushes, as its splash can take out the supports.
