When ever I try to antidive as thing, I guess my biggest issue is I never know where the dive is. Unless I just stick with support the whole time. But I get kind anxious in that scenario, because in the front, my team is trying to push and needs help, but when ever I do, my healers get dived. Dive players are sneaky and I am sure they wait until I turn my back before they dive for that reason. Sometimes people will ping a spot, but when I get there I never see them because they ran away. Sometimes I try to look around other locations too, but then my healers get dived because the divers were healing somewhere else from where I was looking. To be honest, especially with all the other chaos going on it's a bit hard to keep track of my surroundings too.

So yeah, I can try to guard my healers, but it means I just have to sit there essentially. Leaving my team down a tank in a 5v5 doesn't feel good just to help against a dive dps. Not sure how I can support the frontline and backline at the same time.

Hey all, trying to learn Peni but she is totally opposite to my usual playstyle.

I mostly tank now a days, and I play aggressive dive/melee. I'm a Cap main, with Thor, Venom, Strange, Emma, Hulk as swaps, so adjusting to her more defensive and range style has been....different.

Two things I’m struggling with:

1. I saw an enemy Peni throw mines into the air and somehow one-shot me when they landed. I’ve tried replicating this in practice but can’t figure out what she did. In the replay she was even doing it from behind cover, aiming at the sky, like she knew where it would land. Anyone know what this happened? I was on Invis.
2. When I pick Peni to protect my backline from dive, it feels like my nest gets destroyed instantly, even when placed behind cover. Meanwhile, when I use it, it barely does damage and gets cleared fast. I also struggle with constantly needing to reposition it on convoy maps.
3. I also don’t really understand how to play her offensively. I saw a Peni who was solo tanking and basically stayed back with her nest and only moved it up after her team won fights, instead of playing up front like a typical tank. Is that the correct way to think about her, or am I missing something? Since normally the tank wants the enemy attention and would prefer to take the damage over their healers or dps.

Any general tips for positioning, nest usage, or playstyle adjustment would be appreciated.
