Deadman Danny vs Pocket

Marksman vs Assassin

Assume they’re flanking you. Stay near teammates and hold your escape for their burst.

Your game plan as Deadman Danny

A jetpack daredevil who flies over the fight, lands on top of it and takes one enemy for a ride they won’t walk away from.

How to beat Pocket

A trickster who hides in a suitcase and then hits you with a shotgun.

• 01Wait out Enchanter’s Satchel instead of wasting abilities into it.
• 02Affliction can’t kill you — don’t panic-use cooldowns.
• 03Shoot the Flying Cloak path; he’ll teleport there.

1. 01Pocket wins the farm by ~39 last hits per match. Prioritise safe last hits and denies over trades, and let your lane partner zone.
2. 02Pocket looks for burst windows. Don’t sit in lane at low health, and ping the moment they disappear — they’re hunting.
