I’m in plat 1 right now and just played a game where one of my DPS was raging at me for playing Sigma into a pharamercy echo comp. I’m confused as to who else I’m supposed to play? My thought process was Sigma’s orbs are medium ranged, don’t have to be direct hits to deal damage, and the absorb/rock can counter Pharah’s ult. I had really good stats but still got yelled at. He also didn’t say what other tank to play so I’m just confused. Is there a better tank to play against flyers?
At the moment. No tank can play into a pharmercy. Sig is a good defense option and can definitely apply pressure to the Pharmercy, but in no way actually do anything beneficial. Dva is another good option. But If the mercy never leave pharah’s side. Then your best option would be five the backline, kill the other support, the mercy will do one of three things: 1: leave the pharah to go rez the other support (NOWS YOUR CHANCE TO KILL EITHER OF THEM) 2: leave the pharah to focus on healing the rest of the team (NOWS YOUR CHANCE TO KILL EITHER OF THEM.) 3: stick to the pharah like an annoying mosquito. (NOWS YOUR CHANCE TO KILL THE REST OF THEIR TEAM, THEY DONT HAVE HEALING) But that’s all you could really do as tank. Hope the enemy supports suck donkey leg so you can kill them.
