Attack:

  • Play fast, aggressive, and push constant pressure.

  • Look to pick off key enemies.

  • Hesitation is your enemy! Commit to the play calls.

  • Don’t play into the enemy's defense; position yourself favorably.

  • Learn to capitalize when the opportunity presents itself. (Look at that kill feed!)

  • Regroup after every fight!

  • Mobility and multiple angles of attack will give you an advantage.

 

Defense Mentality:

  • Play conservatively! Your life is very precious on defense.

  • Seek your allies, protect them and let them protect you.

  • Know when to back down.

  • Contest the objective when appropriate.

  • Revolve around the point, it is the only thing that matters.

  • Use your ultimates reactively!
