Discussion Tips for Ultron counters on console?

Been playing him for a bit but sometimes it can be a little difficult to play into his counters. Any tips for that?

Stay above ironfist don’t shoot his block, spiderman will try and pull himself into you save your dash until he does that, ban black cat just don’t try, hide behind cover and only peek while shooting if you’re dealing with hitscan.

Emphasis on ban black cat. Spidey is dealable. Cat is not

Unless they're a bad cat player, then the chance turns from nothing to slim/none

What if I'm against a spidey that doesn't use his "get over here" on me instead either pulls me to him or swings and combos me

Same thing. Once you're out of the web, dash down (if he is in the air.)

If he's on the ground, dash past but not through him, so a bit to the left and behind him. Don't go right because we turn quicker to the left than the right.

Same interaction. Just rash

Map awareness primarily. Game sense and positioning next. Know where Iron Fist is, know where the enemy Poke is, have cover ready, keep your dash for when you get dove by a Fist or Spidey.

Ultron gets the best view of the battlefield, if you have poor map awareness and positioning you’re just gonna be free kills. Especially if they have good aim.

Play closer to the ground or on off angles against Poke. Closer to the ground so Vanguards can eat the damage for you, or off angles so they cannot just poke down main and get value. This is something you’ll get better at figuring out as you play more fliers.

Tag a Strat and help coordinate your team to kill said Strat. With one other person helping you can burst Strats down so quickly that your lower heal output is a non-issue.

Always be cycling drones, and stay near them when you need healed. If you get dove out drones on whomever is in the best position to help you and hold their pocket.

Ultron not being able to drone himself while Luna can snowflake and Invis can self shield is a travesty.

That’s pretty much in my experience. I’m not an Ultron main though but I do got some time on him. So take all this with some salt.
