So, about to try out comp match making, what mercs should I use?

(watsyurdeal) #1

I literally have zero clue what the meta is like right now, I just use what works. But in matchmaking I imagine people are little more intense about how things should be, so what mercs should I use if.

  1. I need a good damage dealer like Nader, I like to have something like that in case I need to clear a room
  2. Engineer, I definitely prefer to go after the objective than anything else, currently I use Bushwhacka
  3. Third slot is up for grabs, I do ok at Sniping, not great, and Medic well…I hate playing Medic, but if I have to…

Just need advice since I have no clue what I am getting into, last game I played competitively like this was TF2

engineer and medic are your two basic requirements, your team will usually need at least one engy, and preferably 2 medics (or more)

Don’t worry about trying to be TOO competitive. People will play2win harder, but they don’t get as tense so as to bash you if you don’t listen to the ‘comp meta’.

You are also likely to encounter teams of 5 premades, which are almost always lost games, as 5 randoms cannot stand up to a communicating team, at most skill levels. Best just grit your teeth and try to learn something about good spots&positioning.

Should be much better since few days into open beta, and even better later; when matchmaking system is more proficient at matching solo queues & premade teams

Actually Fragger is still the best, but well, Nader “fill” his role. Bushwacker is really good, so it 's a good choice, you could take Skyhammer or Kira to have a merc who can give ammo, especially if you don’t like to play medic.
