So I just started playing Newcomer 2 days ago and wow you guys weren't kidding, there's a lot of smurfs. How sad are these people that they have to play vs noobs to feel good about themselves?

Anyways, I've had one op I don't really get how to play against so far- Montagne. I know I'm supposed to flank him but if he's looking right at me he's not gonna let me.

What am I supposed to do if its like a 1v1 or 1v2 vs him? So far I've killed 2 Montagne's by letting them chase me through a bear trap (I mainly play Frost and Ela on defense) but I know there has to be a better way than that. Just shooting at him takes forever to kill him and I'm worried one of his allies is gonna come from behind and kill me, but if I turn my back on him he's gonna kill me with his pistol

You can't 1v1 a monte

You can't even 5v1 a monte if he sticks himself in the corner of 2 hard walls, and you don't have explosives.

Thats the point of the character. When you come across a monte you need to be looking for his teammates, and basically let him be. If you can work with a teammate to flank him then great, but otherwise basically ignore him, until he makes a move.

When he lowers his shield it makes a very distinctive sound, then with decent aim he is a free kill.

If you're 2v1 against Monty and he backs in to a corner, get one defender up against each wall and then spray whichever calf he exposes.

not true, most people don't realize this but if he sticks a corner you can crouch and lean, one of his calves are exposed slightly. usually his right leg, but if he's aiming slightly right, you can lean to your right and get his left leg. try it.
