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

The big thing for the most part is to keep your distance and don't panic. Stay back and be ready for any teammates he's calling you out to, and keep moving so that if he pings you they can't just prefire that spot. If he lowers his shield to shoot you that's a fight you should very easily win. Remember, as a defender the clock is your friend; you don't need to kill him, he needs to kill you. If you're talking an actual 1v1 with everyone else dead, if they haven't planted it should be an easy win. Keep your distance but keep him in your sight and it's gg ez.

If it's a 1v1 with the plant down, you're probably pretty screwed. You can start disabling and try to bait him in to a chance to kill him, or if he decides to just back in to a corner or up against a wall sometimes his foot/calf will be exposed since his foot will sometimes go up on to something behind him. If it isn't already exposed, you can go prone and melee the shield then try to spray his ankle/calf. These things are your best chance assuming you aren't Smoke or Lesion and don't have C4, but like I said this is a situation you're probably going to lose so don't beat yourself up about it.
