If you are a newbie Super Survivethe best Frontliner (and character in general) for you will be Felixgiven his plain playstyle and ability to overcome mistakes with double dash and DoT effects.

The biggest advantage of his kit, however, is his Abyssal Grasp ability, which allows him to reach out and issue a death certificate to any hunter caught in his grasp. Just remember that while Kingpin is great in team fights, his lack of speed and his huge frame can make you an simple target if you get caught on the back of your foot.
