One habit to change: Fire a shot between every heal, and two shots per heal when nobody is hurt.

Good into

  • ReinhardtShoot his shield whenever no one needs healing.
  • BastionGet out of sight while he's in Artillery or Sentry, then melt him once it ends.
  • OrisaHer head is a huge target: headshot her the moment Fortify ends, not during it.

Struggles against

  • AnaKills you in a duel when she has cooldowns; anti-nade blocks your healing.
  • DoomfistCovers huge distance in one punch and chains his combo before you can react.
  • D.VaBoosters put her on you in a second, and Matrix eats your bursts and heals.
