Doctrine guide

Doctrine is a support.

Recommended comps: Dive

One habit to change: Start every fight with at least one and a half Infuse charges.

Good into

  • JunoSnipe her with infused shots when she floats in the open, and answer her ult with yours.
  • EchoShoot her in the air; hitscan finds her wherever she flies, and she has little cover up there.
  • PharahTrack her with hitscan; a drone on yourself speeds your shots.

Watch out for

  • DoomfistLands on you from range and chains his cooldowns into a kill.
  • SojournOut-trades you at long range with a charged rail.
  • SombraEMP destroys your ult carrier outright; Weaken halves your damage and healing.

Best maps
