Victor vs Pocket

Brawler vs Assassin

You have the health; they have the burst. Make them fight you long — every second past their first combo is in your favour. Buy defensive items early and stay near allies.

Your game plan as Victor

A man who refuses to die. Victor fights hardest when he’s already dead.

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. 01Victor out-farms Pocket by ~5.9 last hits per match. Contest every orb and punish them for walking up to last-hit.
2. 02Pocket looks for burst windows. Don’t sit in lane at low health, and ping the moment they disappear — they’re hunting.
3. 03Your own sustain (Jumpstart) wins extended lanes — stay longer than they can.
