Quick Pest Lecture.

I have been sitting on this one for about a year now as to not make it common knowledge, but I figured it was about time to share this considering the damage that the nerfs have done to Stark at high ELO.

This works on an unsuspecting Iron Fist about 95% of the time. They will typically show you respect and leave you alone/swap, but if you do it enough they will eventually learn to either bait out overdrive, or to only engage you in a 2v1.

Obviously the missile tech will explode any squishy and is ideal for diving (WITH LOTS OF PRACTICE), however I personally believe it works best on Iron Fist, as it can be used much easier as a defensive measure rather than an offensive measure when he is involved. I explain below what is required and ideal for the kill.

Ideal Conditions: You should ideally be engaging Fist in a 1v1 on flat Ground or facing an incline while in the enemy backline. You would think that being around your healers should be the best scenario, but a good Fist will just soft engage and make you waste your overdrive before coming back to go knee deep up your ass. While you can be in your backline for this, isolation is key.

You can do this while flying below a platform, however it is a little bit trickier/inconsistent and requires practice.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Spot Iron Fist. The more time you have before he gets to you, the better. Sometimes you don't have a lot of time, and that is okay, but it means that you need to have good muscle memory to react quickly.
2. Isolate yourself. 99% of the player base underestimates you until you give them a reason not to. Depending on your playstyle prior to your engagement with Fist, he likely thinks that you will be a free pick/ult charge. When you isolate yourself, he will get even more confident, leading him to hard commit right into a consistent 75% to 100% health one/two shot.
3. Activate overdrive. If this Fist is smart and knows that you are about to Thanos snap his ass, he will retreat, and you have an opportunity to disappear silently, or barrel back to your team. If the poor bastard has no clue what is about to hit him and continues to beeline it towards you, he may as well be dead already.
4. As soon he is locked on to you, ideally flat on the ground, look straight down while pointing Iron Man towards Fist and pop the missiles.

4b. If the missiles don't completely pulverize him like in the clip above, you can either repulsor him, typically once, or beam his ass to death. I highly recommend getting consistent with repulsors at close range for characters like the Rodent. While he was nerfed and can no longer 3 tap a 275, he can still 3 tap a 250 and 4 tap/3 tap + beam/melee and 275.

5. If his corpse hasn't been eradicated, engage in light necrophilia for ragebait purposes before quickly fleeing behind cover.

6. Use the manpower advantage + your weird ass positioning advantage to fix the enemy that your team is actively routing towards you. You can prevent them from safely retreating with your unibeam, and your frontline can easily use the proceeding panic and small, but teamscale damage coming from their asshole to finish the enemy team and take the objective.

Hi guys! Ive been playing IronMan for a few months now. Just hit Lord on him yesterday. Overal I really enjoy playing him, his kit is fun (although countered by a few too many things). I always run the Thor team up, regardless of if I have a Hulk or Thor on my team.

Now here's the issue. Im a Plat II player, but I really wamt to climb. I get MVP/SVP about half my games, with most kills and damage too for most of them. However I dont know if I am playing him wrong, or too agressive, but I seem to die A LOT. Some games are fine, but other Ill have about half my kills in deaths if not more. Ill run 40/20/0, and we'll win, but I just think if I died less the games would be over sooner and I'd have a hogher WR overal.

My main strategy near the start of the game, or when we're struggling to push, is where I'll quietly fly behind the enemy team. Use my E empowered laser to take down the healers and as many small champs as possible. If I get caught here its basically impoaaible to escape. However even if I fight with my team I seem to get picked off easy.

I'll fly above my team, Im an easy target and get shot, but even if Im in front of my healers, behind my tanks I just die so quickly.

Any advice? Should I just duo queue up with a support teammate so I can give calls when I need healing? Or are there some tips you guys can give me for better positioning / getting out of fights?

Thanks!

Iron Man ult isn't registering its hit in current patch. First clip target was Deadpool, which I accepted maybe was a bit fuzzy. But the second occurrence against CnD confirmed the ult is bugged and unusable right now

My first champion

It's fun not bothering with competitive and just sticking with QP. Sure, I get hard countered sometimes but the nerfs didn't feel too bad as long as I stuck with my team instead of shooting from low orbit and spammed the thor beam on anything in range.

Onward to squirrel girl!

always on thor teamup even if hulk on my team

A moment every iron man main dreams of

Okay I got a question for y'all out of all the Iron Man skins in the game which one is your favorite and what is an Iron Man skin that you want to be in the game for me my favorite skin to use would be the steam power Iron Man and then the skin I really want in the game is Infamous Iron Man

Finally FINALLY hit lord iron man.

If I learned anything from this it’s that the unibeam is genuinely his best attack and better then his main repulsor blasts. I was in a good spot because I was able to lord iron man and Jeff in the same week because of how high level they are.

Now onto lord Hulk.

So my computer decided about two weeks ago to just give up the ghost and flatline, but the Ironman grind never stops.

Started playing on console and OH MY GOD. I can’t aim to save my life (and my backline). I can’t do the jiggle movement, I can’t do ANYTHING I was able to pull off on PC.

For some context I was a celestial, I played Ironman as my main DPS on the rare occasion I didn’t need to fill tank. So I was decent, I did well with IM in that rank despite nearly every character on the roster being able to literally think me out of existence. The last time I played a console shooter was COD BO2, am I old? I might be old, my stem cells aren’t quite what they used to be.

PLEASE fellas, give me some tips, how to jiggle, how to SURVIVE out here, I’m not even wood rank anymore, I’m a damn Amoeba 3 player now.

I don’t want to be a bot anymore.
