Force a Control Point Showdown If You Have To
If you feel like you can’t match the enemy team in a battle of sheer fire power, don’t be afraid to force a showdown over the control point. Despite the elimination mode being considered an “attack” mode, playing it safe and backing off in certain situations could help your team obtain victory. Instead of chasing down an elusive Tracer or going hunting for a Junkrat that likely has traps waiting for you, it may be best to wait it out and force them to come attempt to capture the point. This brings all the action to a concentrated spot on the map. This can really play to your advantage if your team has multiple snipers or other defensive characters.
The addition of the tie breaking control point is also key for any team struggling to deal with a tricky Bastion that’s nestled in the corner and wreaking havoc. While approaching that self-healing, bullet-slinging death machine could result in your team being mowed down, forcing Bastion to try to approach the point instead will place him at the disadvantage since he’s most powerful while in sentry mode.
