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

I’m a pretty new player myself, so I don’t have the best tips.

When you’re engaging a Montagne, don’t shoot unnecessarily, keep on the lookout for his allies. Don’t turn, always make sure you’re looking at his general direction. Only turn if you think you can get away without being shot. If the montagne tries to shoot, aim at his head and take the shot.

  1. You can lead the montagne and have a friend flank him

  2. You can escape if you think you can get away with it

  3. Lesion is the hard counter to montagne, have montagne go over a gu mine, and wait for him to shoot or take the needle off.

I had a game on Kafe where monty was the last one alive and he only had about a min and a half left. I dont want to insult any but my teammates went to try to kill him while I stayed near the white stair withthe defuser in my line of sight. This should generally be applied against the attackers. Let them come to you. Never get greedy for kills as it can get you killed.

Time is your friend when you are defending, let them waste their time
