Spread Out Hero Types

Recommended Videos

It wasn’t uncommon to see teams in 3v3 elimination dominate a map by using three tanks or doubling up on heroes with the ability to heal their teammates. That strategy isn’t as effective in the lockout elimination mode. Using both Zenyatta and Mercy in one round leaves you with a less than impressive collection of healers for the upcoming rounds. This remains true for all hero types—and not just the ones designated by the game itself. Whether it’s DPS characters or key flankers, you want to make sure you’re cognizant of which heroes you’re getting taken out the game for future matches.

This is particularly important depending on which map you’re playing on as well. A map like Necropolis offers high ground options that not every character can quickly reach so it’s important to keep mobility in mind when spreading out characters. Leaving yourself with no hero that can rocket jump, shadow step, wall climb or use a grappling hook to easily close the gap between themselves and a sneaky sniper can leave your team getting picked off too easily.
