Sigma guide

Sigma is a tank.

Recommended comps: Poke and zone

One habit to change: Zone with damage, take space as you win the small trades, then back off when they close in.

Good into

D.VaShe has your barrier and Grasp to get through, and rock is easy to land on her.
MaugaUse rock to force Cardiac Overdrive, or to kill him if he doesn't have it.
OrisaDrop your barrier behind her to cut off her healing and force Fortify or Javelin Spin early.

Struggles against

LifeweaverTree or petal in the center of your Flux ruins it.
DoomfistPunch cuts through Grasp and can knock you into his team.
AnranPunishes grouped targets.

Best maps

Best by win rate: Circuit Royal, Junkertown, Gibraltar, Dorado and Midtown
Long sightlines where enemy snipers rule and your barrier shuts them down

Playing against Sigma

He wins slow poke wars. Speed the fight up, take angles his barrier can't cover, and go in once Rock or Grasp is spent.
