Great job on the guide. Just one thing. It's a common misconception that you can only shoot once during ult. You can hit 2 volleys during his flux for a total of 4 orbs. The 1st is when you immediately flux them up, the 2nd is the obvious one when they're suspended in the air, and the 3rd is once they already hit the floor on 20 hp. I would say it's practical since I've confirmed many double, even sometimes triple kills using this method which is huge considering there's only 5 players per team.
@BaileysOver Жыл бұрын
thanks dude! I actually made sure I checked this double interaction, and the original script actually mentioned it being technically possible. but in recording, I found myself missing the 2nd round of shots if I went for the 1st, so I decided to make the script more concise and only mention the single fire combos. TLDR - you're right, it just felt a bit too tricky to pull off to put in a guide :')
@justinsmeer9539 Жыл бұрын
To add: Sig's 2 orbs are independent from each other, meaning you can throw each orb in 2 different directions, this can be helpful when a high mobility enemy is strafing left and right because you can throw each orb to a general location where they will be rather than hoping they move the direction you aim. Close quarters fighting also has one major disadvantage (other than difficulty aiming). Sig receives self damage from his orbs and rock. An advantage to the self damage is he can use it for a slight movement thrust allowing him to reach places he couldn't normally.

tbh I think the dva match up is pretty good. Use grasp to eat the rockets and gain a bigger health advantadge, try and take out some of the armour, and then rock her when she tried to fly away or use defense matrix to avoid damage. Then with a little follow up damage from a dps you get an easy kill
@Jaikanatar Жыл бұрын
I typically play as a duo sometimes a trio, and Sigma is so beautifully versatile when paired with other characters. My buddy sticks by me as Lucio and gives me speed boost especially when things are tight. That pairing makes Sigma absolutely OP if youre coordinated with a teammate. Not to mention using the shield to save your teammate in a clutch moment

yessir, I think Sigma is one of the tanks that benefits the most from a coordinated team! having Lucio speed to kite the other team around is super satisfying >:)

Im no gm player but sigma vs dva might be something i can ask for. Mainly due to where if i focus on getting her backline, she will be forced to block that with dm. However if i throw a rock and my team focuses her, that healthpool she has will shred into nothing
@BaileysOver11 ай бұрын
it's definitely one of the closer matchups in this video! a DVa who's being effective with her cooldowns and diving onto the enemy team will usually come out on top, but a more passive DVa may definitely struggle if she allows Sigma to keep his range :)
@princeproductions13132 ай бұрын
also in 9:54 sigma can throw his rock at dva while she's using defense matrix and it would go past dva's defense matrix and stun which is an easy way to pull her out of defense matrix
@haasithgarapati8261 Жыл бұрын
Correction: Armor calculation doesn't work by doing (Healthpool)*(1.3). It works like (Healthpool)/(0.7) which actually gives even higher effective health values. Brig's effective health is actually 221 (150+[50/0.7]). Nice video. Sigma is quite underrated and is probably going to be VERY strong if long-range/poke becomes META.

eyy thank you man! you're totally right btw, I made a quick spreadsheet for my armour calculations but messed up the formula :') LUCKILY, it doesn't change any of the interactions in this video, but it does change things like bring being one clipped by Tracer. good feedback - will make sure the sheet is fixed for next video! :)

I think another good tip as a sigma is if there is a Sombra and you have ult, wait to get hacked first then pop ult The only way she can cancel you out of your ult after you've been recently hacked is if she EMPs. Just be aware though that some sombra's will intentionally hack you to bait out your ult so she can EMP you.

Don't forget that grasp can eat up enemy heals too, as long as they aren't beam heals. And I would say that rein counters Sig if he gets close. Rock is hella easy to block, and grasp can't stop hammer swing. As far as reins ult, because of the CD after recalling shield, a rein can walk through or wait until you recall it to shatter you... I would say that Sig counters a passive Reinhardt or if you are on the high ground vs a Rein on the low ground.
@BaileysOver10 ай бұрын
I totally get that! I think this matchup is a more "stylistic" counter than a interactional counter, if that makes sense? Sigma likes to keep his enemies at range, and if Sigma can keep a Reinhardt at range (but using his rock and frequent damage output), then the Rein can be helpless in this matchup. I WILL agree that this is definitely a more even matchup since OW2, since Sigma is the only tank and sometimes HAS to engage in a close range fight against Rein... which never ends well for Sig :')

I don't really struggle much with D Va (I'm lower tier), I just back up to my supports, get healed and peel for them. Often D Va will ignore me and go for my supports so I'll put up my shield real close, pass it and then go after the D Va. I'll get some healing from my supports, have my shield protecting me from DPS and supports, then just unload on D Va from there. Kinetic grasp blocks the missiles, rock knocks her down once matrix is gone and she either leaves with boost or her mech is gone. My supports live and she's out of the picture. With Winston I just back out of his bubble.
@BaileysOver10 ай бұрын
DVa is definitely one of the not so bad matchups, but a good DVa can punish a Sigma pick by diving the backline. Sigma isn't a GREAT peel tank, and his frontline presence can be bypassed relatively easily, so it's a softish counter imo :)

While I don't have anything to add, I will say this, I am a Sigma main XD and, I play him... a little differently. I play him as a support, so, I throw Experimental Barrier out if my teammate/healer is getting attacked. Ill also jump in front with Kinetic Grasp, and fight the foes off, long enough for the healer/teammate to escape to safety, with me staying behind to hold them off. What do you think? :3
@BaileysOver10 ай бұрын
I think that this is a little closer to how Sigma was played in Overwatch 1, so I totally get it. I think a lot of the tanks have had playstyle adjustments in the single format for two reasons... Firstly, I appreciate the desire to enable your team, but as the only tank on the team it's most important that you're the hero claiming and holding space as your team's frontline. It's a difficult concept to understand, as it's never really quantified by any of the visual indicators in game, but I may make a video on the concept in future :') Secondly, 5v5 made achieving elims even more important. As a player who's focussing on enabling others, you're missing a LOT of the value that Sigma has when it comes to eliminating enemies. When you think about it, every elim you get makes the enemy team 20% weaker... that's a MASSIVE impact I played Sigma and DVa a lil bit in Overwatch 1, so I definitely appreciate your "off tank" playstyle. If you're a casual player, go absolutely wild! I think having fun is the most important part of any video game :)
