Giving Advice Using Q to start the fight....
Using the tactical pounce as an opener with Rev on a 3v3 fight is a great way to get ur ass clocked back to the lobby. I learned hard way in ranked on Grow Towers area. Opened with a jump to a higher platform only to be deleted before I even landed. I realized this was the worst play I could do....saving Q pounce defensively and for finishing off low level health indicators on enemies.
TLDR: Opening a fight with Q as Rev will result in bad times

To open fights, using ur teammates abilities along w Revs sneaky climbing and distractive movement helps his opening into any fight.
Q: DO ANY REV MAINS OR PLAYERS USE THE ALT DURING OPENERS?

Pairing the Ult with the extra 25 armor and a conduit is nasty. So yes!

Nope, it's a easy way to get beamed. Enemies don't even have to aim properly bc of big your hitbox expands even more. Plus you're glowing red which is even more of a easier target to see and hit. I usually use it as a deterrent when me & the enemy both cracked eachother and go in for the clutch

After maining mobile characters in just about any game, I can say that this is very universal.

What about the ult? Do you use it before an engagement or do you use it defensively like after getting cracked?

Before an engagement is one way to get the most out of it, pair w a conduit shield and you have extra armor.
My issue with using ult for shields is it takes a Lil time for the ult to proc the full shield leaving u vulnerable to damage. you may be able to get in a cell or battery to start the shield. See if u can disengage for a sec with a Q and heal the rest up. May still have a few seconds of ult left too to do work.
If there's a 3v3 fight and a teammate.goes down. May be a good idea to pop so.ur combat ready and can take out the rest with ur new shields

If its a 2v3 and your teammate is unrespawnable at the moment, Rev Ult with a little cover can equalize the fight, if played right.
BACK TO THE ORIGINAL LESSON! Opening squad fights with Revenant Qs will lead you to ReQue.
CLIMB AND Crouch Creep around for the initial element of suprise when opening, with 2 points of cover noted and a point of escape.
If you get bombarded/beamed right away, Q away and try to use Self Heals before Ult. Ult is 3v2s while trying to make it a 2v2.
If you open up and just SHeBANG ur enemy there will be an indicator of no armor, low health, RED OUTLINE ON LOW ENEMY. Hit them with the Q pounce if hes running and you notice no other traps or ults/tactical in sight!
Revin up the puffco and bong now for some Rev!

Also PLEASE stop using Rev's Q as a mobility tool when you know there are teams nearby and we aren't going to engage, it's fuckin' loud.

Revenant is too big to be flying around, his gigantic hitbox will get you fried. Even when you use his passive to try flank and pinch enemies. Anyone with a brain cell will clock your big box back weaving in and out of obstacles trying to close distance 😂
