How to play it

At the front of a choke with cover behind him, close enough that his 4.67-tile sweep reaches and near enough to the rats that they are fighting the same target.

The rats are pressure rather than burst, so release them onto the objective or onto a brawler holding a lane, not onto someone who is about to die anyway.

Common mistakes

  • Walking away from damage to stay healthy, which removes the rage his kit runs on
  • Sending rats at a fleeing enemy instead of at the point his team is contesting
  • Committing across open ground at 720 speed with nothing to close the last tiles
