How to Counter and play against D.Va

https://gfycat.com/AngelicScrawnyGallinule Hana " D.Va " Song, can disrupt any setup and block any projectile based ultimate in the game. She comes in second to Winston in Mobility for tanks, but still has an amazing amount of close range damage. D.Va will harass and punish static setups for heroes like Widowmaker and Hanzo, making it impossible to get strong peaks. When playing against a very strong D.Va it will feel as if the pressure is never stopping, the mech is always flanking, and by the time you react to her you have already ceded the tempo. Let's take a look at D.Va's numbers to better deal with her: Having 500 Health Points in her Mech, 400 of those points being Armor makes it very hard to actually kill her Mech.  The Fusion Cannons the MEKA Suit come armed with are serious threats in close range shooting 7 blasts per second, each firing 8 pellets that will do at least .5 damage or 3 when in close range (giving her up to 24 Damage per blast fired).  https:/...

How to Counter and play against Symmetra

Satya " Symmetra " Vaswani is one of the most frustating defensive heroes to deal with. Being a support, she naturally assists her teammates more than traditional defensive heroes. She comes equipped with the most deadly weapon in close quarters combat, Sentries to fortify herself and teammates, additional shields for all her friends, and of course the dreaded Teleporter. When given proper time to setup, Symmetra will completely shut down the side lanes of the map. She will do this through sentry placement, and combo'ing her sentries with her Photon Projector. Do not let Symmetra's setup persist, much like Torbjorn and Bastion shutting down her setup consistently is the key. https://gfycat.com/WideeyedHastyKite Numbers matter, lets take a look at Symmetra's. She has 200 HP, 100 being normal health and 100 being Shields. Shields take the same damage as health, but will automatically regenerate after 3 seconds of not taking damage. Her Photon Projector's primar...

How to Counter and play against Torbjörn

Torbjörn  Lindholm is an incredible hero at fortifying a location. Be that on offense for a Pay-load, or defense for a Control-point - Everyone will experience a Torbjörn completely shutting down their teams efforts. Not only will Torbjörn's turret get in the way of every effort you make, his gun and armor packs are also a major threat that usually go unnoticed. Dealing with Torbjörn takes time; much like when dealing with Bastion, Torbjörn naturally punishes careless aggression. To defeat him, and his team, you will need to coordinate your advances when his turret is down or after molten core . Pushing at any other time will be significantly harder to execute. https://gfycat.com/ShortAnyLarva Torbjörn sits right in the middle of HP pools at 200. He has no armor or shields. His Rivet gun can be a devastating; dealing 70 damage per shot using his primary fire, Torbjörn has a long range harassment option. Note that his primary fire as no damage drop, but does have distance drop and c...
