Find your partner hero
Choose a role and answer a few playstyle questions to narrow down heroes that may fit you.
- Can lose value when forced into the opposite tempo.
- May overuse the habit that normally feels most comfortable.
- Needs a clear reset plan when the first idea fails.
If your result is BGIR, you tend to apply steady damage from a safe position and gradually force the enemy into worse choices. You can maintain pressure from one angle or move away from your team to find a timely crossfire and pick. Changing positions too often in the name of safety can reduce the amount of time you are actually contributing to the fight.
Advice
Keep the core of Select Marksman, but check whether the fight needs speed, patience, a wider view, or a smaller duel before committing.
Interceptor (FTIR) creates the frontline that lets Select Marksman maintain steady damage from safety. As FTIR waits for the enemy's engage and counters it, BGIR feels less pressure and can concentrate on continuing to fire.
BGIR gains a stable position because FTIR can stop an enemy who commits. FTIR benefits from BGIR making opponents impatient, which encourages the kind of forced engage that can be countered.
This pairing combines sustained damage with counter-engage control. For example, Cassidy can keep firing while Orisa holds a corner. When the enemy commits to break that position, Orisa can answer with Energy Javelin or Javelin Spin and create a target they can eliminate together.
