![]() ![]() For anyone who has played against a competent double shield team, the bunker seems nigh unbreakable at times. Healers tend to be Baptiste and Brigitte, Bap for his Immortality Field and amplification matrix, and Brig mainly for her crowd controlling Shield Bash.Īs you can see, these comps combine a small number of moving parts into an extremely effective machine. Both of these specific Overwatch heroes fit very well within the double shield meta, and therefore we see them used quite a lot at the professional level. ![]() Genji with the recent buffs is always a strong pick if you know how to play him, and Ashe is also very useful with consistent mid to long range damage and Dynamite. Echo, McCree, Junkrat, and Symmetra all got some play time, but we saw Ashe and Genji used the most. If we look at the recent Countdown Cup Quarterfinals match between the Los Angeles Gladiators and the Philadelphia Fusion, the Fusion ran double shield in all three maps with a number of different dps heroes. I also didn’t even mention how Orisa’s Halt and Sigma’s Accretion combo together so well for almost-guaranteed damage.įor the other four hero slots we have slightly more variability, in the damage pair more-so than the healers. And this is without even mentioning Sigma’s Kinectic Grasp and Orisa’s Fortify which allow for even more damage to be mitigated. Orisa’s stronger yet static shield paired with Sigma’s more mobile shield allow for extremely durable protection and as a result, a very tanky meta. This is where the Overwatch term “double shield” comes from, if you couldn’t tell. Unfortunately the value that Orisa brings to the fight when paired with the off-tank Sigma is just too great to ignore if you’re trying to come up with a strong team. Clearly constantly playing Orisa is not the most exciting thing a high level Overwatch player could be doing. ![]()
