How Abrams beats Holliday

Brawler vs Marksman

Close the gap or don’t fight. Marksmen win at range, so use corners and troopers to approach, and spend your gap-closer only when you can follow through.

Your game plan as Abrams

A bully who wins by refusing to leave. Every fight Abrams takes, he wants to take at shotgun range.

Lane
Walk forward whenever Siphon Life is up and trade through the enemy’s pokes; Infernal Resilience pays you back for the damage you take. Hold Shoulder Charge until they’re near a wall.
Mid game
Roam to the lane with the squishiest pair and charge one of them into terrain. You’re the team’s door-opener on Walkers.
Late game
Seismic Impact is a teamfight starter: land on the backline, stun three, Siphon, let your carries follow. Buy anti-CC so you can’t be kited.

How to beat Holliday

A trick-shooter. Holliday launches you into the air and then shoots you out of it.

  • 01Don’t stand near Powder Keg — she can detonate it whenever she wants.
  • 02Respect her headshots; she out-duels most heroes who stand still.
  • 03Spread so Lasso only takes one.
