In the Lab today we break into strategizing about defense! We’re going to talk about compositions, rough positioning, and concepts for how to set-up a team strategy for defense. We’ll even cover map-specifics to the best of our ability for the audio-only listeners!

Practicing as Support/Flex (Lucio, Symmetra, Winston, McCree) **Composition we are practicing as Team: Reinhardt, Mercy, Lucio, McCree, Widowmaker, Flex (Zarya, McCree, Winston, Torbjorn)   Playing Defense in Overwatch: Playing defense in Overwatch can be one of the most challenging modes, specially if going against an organized team. Poor communication and organization can lead to a quick demise and not a great feeling! A solid defense on the other hand can be demoralizing for the enemy team.  1. The objective is everything: **From the start of the game the objective and map layout will dictate everything. Ask yourself these questions: a) Is it a payload, point capture or both? b) What roles need to be filled? (map specific, not team specific). 2. Establish a choke-point. 3. Protecting access routes (parts of the map that go around the main routes). 4. Look-out after each other. 5. Have a contingency measure (Planned Panic Button) 6. Learn when to retreat!
