As a GM Sigma, I confirm everything in this video, learned the same by myself. Due to new patch, accretion is dealing 80 dmg now, but combo is still possible with additional shot before the incoming rock.
Random fact I discovered by playing Junkrat against Sigma : during his ult, drop a mine below you and make it explode before you smash the ground. It will cancel the fall damage
yup this is totally correct! I noticed this in editing, but since I knew the interactions at the 210 number everything still applied :) appreciate the feedback though, always good to be kept focussed on the little things hahah
Great job on the guide. Just one thing. It's a common misconception that you can only shoot once during ult. You can hit 2 volleys during his flux for a total of 4 orbs. The 1st is when you immediately flux them up, the 2nd is the obvious one when they're suspended in the air, and the 3rd is once they already hit the floor on 20 hp. I would say it's practical since I've confirmed many double, even sometimes triple kills using this method which is huge considering there's only 5 players per team.
thanks dude! I actually made sure I checked this double interaction, and the original script actually mentioned it being technically possible. but in recording, I found myself missing the 2nd round of shots if I went for the 1st, so I decided to make the script more concise and only mention the single fire combos. TLDR - you're right, it just felt a bit too tricky to pull off to put in a guide :')
tbh I think the dva match up is pretty good. Use grasp to eat the rockets and gain a bigger health advantadge, try and take out some of the armour, and then rock her when she tried to fly away or use defense matrix to avoid damage. Then with a little follow up damage from a dps you get an easy kill
You know that feeling when you find the game/hero you where born to play? That’s how I feel with sig, I have around 2 hour on him and I’m really enjoying so far ! First tank I can play with putting my foot through the screen. This is a great guide and I’m glad I found this channel!! :D
eyyy let's go man! glad you're a fellow Sigma enjoyer :) just in case you missed the last patch notes, they nerfed the rock interactions in this video for season 4. the rest of this guide still applies though, so best of luck with your Sigma journey and welcome to the channel :D
also in 9:54 sigma can throw his rock at dva while she's using defense matrix and it would go past dva's defense matrix and stun which is an easy way to pull her out of defense matrix
I think another good tip as a sigma is if there is a Sombra and you have ult, wait to get hacked first then pop ult The only way she can cancel you out of your ult after you've been recently hacked is if she EMPs. Just be aware though that some sombra's will intentionally hack you to bait out your ult so she can EMP you.
To add: Sig's 2 orbs are independent from each other, meaning you can throw each orb in 2 different directions, this can be helpful when a high mobility enemy is strafing left and right because you can throw each orb to a general location where they will be rather than hoping they move the direction you aim. Close quarters fighting also has one major disadvantage (other than difficulty aiming). Sig receives self damage from his orbs and rock. An advantage to the self damage is he can use it for a slight movement thrust allowing him to reach places he couldn't normally.
I typically play as a duo sometimes a trio, and Sigma is so beautifully versatile when paired with other characters. My buddy sticks by me as Lucio and gives me speed boost especially when things are tight. That pairing makes Sigma absolutely OP if youre coordinated with a teammate. Not to mention using the shield to save your teammate in a clutch moment
yessir, I think Sigma is one of the tanks that benefits the most from a coordinated team! having Lucio speed to kite the other team around is super satisfying >:)
“Except for Brig” while talking about squishies really makes it feel like explaining abilities in Jujutsu Kaisen where it’s always followed up with “except for Satoru Gojo” 😂
I’m currently in high silver, but I used to be platinum on console, and I LOVE sigma because he plays insanely well into the meta of the lower skill tiers. Everyone plays the high damage heroes like bastion and junket and they just give me free shield every time I use my grasp, I end up with over 1000 hp pretty consistently
Thank you for the comprehensive guide. I am just getting back into gaming after a long hiatus. I used to play Dva in Overwatch one but dont think she is great as a main tank. Sigma has been my new calling and I appreciate how straight forward and easy you made this video for even an old man like me can understand. Thank you!
hahah ey thanks man! I try my best to make everything as simple as possible to understand, as I know Overwatch is an overwhelming game :') I honestly think DVa is a really strong tank right now! but she does have some unfavourable matchups, so mixing it up between Sigma and DVa is a good plan tbh B)
@@BaileysOver I am not used to playing her as the main tank. I used to play her as an off tank DPS. I absolutely suck with her now lol. I do better with Sigma and this weekend I have taken a liking to Orisa!
You can use sigmas shield to remove the hampsters minefield, just run it throuh them. Also can block bastions artilerry if you deploy it above you, like a missile proof umbrella.
Im no gm player but sigma vs dva might be something i can ask for. Mainly due to where if i focus on getting her backline, she will be forced to block that with dm. However if i throw a rock and my team focuses her, that healthpool she has will shred into nothing
it's definitely one of the closer matchups in this video! a DVa who's being effective with her cooldowns and diving onto the enemy team will usually come out on top, but a more passive DVa may definitely struggle if she allows Sigma to keep his range :)
Great job Bailey, this is exactly the type of content I've been looking for as a new tank player climbing the comp ladder in OW2. Well explained scenarios with fantastic visual examples. Subbed and looking forward to your next tank guide!
Correction: Armor calculation doesn't work by doing (Healthpool)*(1.3). It works like (Healthpool)/(0.7) which actually gives even higher effective health values. Brig's effective health is actually 221 (150+[50/0.7]). Nice video. Sigma is quite underrated and is probably going to be VERY strong if long-range/poke becomes META.
eyy thank you man! you're totally right btw, I made a quick spreadsheet for my armour calculations but messed up the formula :') LUCKILY, it doesn't change any of the interactions in this video, but it does change things like bring being one clipped by Tracer. good feedback - will make sure the sheet is fixed for next video! :)
Another thing with his shield and ult. You should almost always put up your shield to where you will rise up with your alt. This can prevent you from getting killed or downright ult cancelled by Orisa's spear for example, as the shield will protect you.
Dooood how do you have so few subs? You must be a new channel bc this content is STELLAR!! I mean that as a compliment - You are going to blow up my guy!! I’m a pretty sweaty sig main and I must have watched a dozen sig guides and got by far THE MOST value out of this one. There were SO many things I didn’t know and even things I instinctively did that you explained exactly why and how. I’m sub’ing and turning noti’s on for your content. Cheers man, keep droppin this kinda heat!!!
Something I usually if my shield gets broken is use my suck to get all those projectiles while backing behind a corner or better position, because by the time thats finished my shield is replenished and I just use it if need be right after
yup, this is a really good tip! you're almost using grasp as a replacement shield, and using that spare overhealth to buy you some time to retreat - well played :)
I think Dva is a positive matchup, honestly, since as soon as they rocket you can absorb all of it because they can't cancel that fire. Especially up close, where since they will likely use their defensive matrix, panicking because you now have 1000 health, you can easily rock them and absolutely disrupt their flow of play.
Don't forget that grasp can eat up enemy heals too, as long as they aren't beam heals. And I would say that rein counters Sig if he gets close. Rock is hella easy to block, and grasp can't stop hammer swing. As far as reins ult, because of the CD after recalling shield, a rein can walk through or wait until you recall it to shatter you... I would say that Sig counters a passive Reinhardt or if you are on the high ground vs a Rein on the low ground.
I totally get that! I think this matchup is a more "stylistic" counter than a interactional counter, if that makes sense? Sigma likes to keep his enemies at range, and if Sigma can keep a Reinhardt at range (but using his rock and frequent damage output), then the Rein can be helpless in this matchup. I WILL agree that this is definitely a more even matchup since OW2, since Sigma is the only tank and sometimes HAS to engage in a close range fight against Rein... which never ends well for Sig :')
I don't really struggle much with D Va (I'm lower tier), I just back up to my supports, get healed and peel for them. Often D Va will ignore me and go for my supports so I'll put up my shield real close, pass it and then go after the D Va. I'll get some healing from my supports, have my shield protecting me from DPS and supports, then just unload on D Va from there. Kinetic grasp blocks the missiles, rock knocks her down once matrix is gone and she either leaves with boost or her mech is gone. My supports live and she's out of the picture. With Winston I just back out of his bubble.
DVa is definitely one of the not so bad matchups, but a good DVa can punish a Sigma pick by diving the backline. Sigma isn't a GREAT peel tank, and his frontline presence can be bypassed relatively easily, so it's a softish counter imo :)
really nice guide lol i was surprised when i saw less than like 10k subs only disagreement i have is that sigma kinda gets fucked by reins and balls if they arent entirely inting
eyy I appreciate the kind words :) those matchups are definitely tricky, especially if you don't have the dps to take down Rein's shield, so good point! I would still rank them as favourable for Sigma, but I can see what you mean about inting for sure :D
Sigma is such a weird character to me personally as im average at best at OW but ever since the first day i played Sigma i honestly have stomped the majority of games. Hes such a well made character.
While I don't have anything to add, I will say this, I am a Sigma main XD and, I play him... a little differently. I play him as a support, so, I throw Experimental Barrier out if my teammate/healer is getting attacked. Ill also jump in front with Kinetic Grasp, and fight the foes off, long enough for the healer/teammate to escape to safety, with me staying behind to hold them off. What do you think? :3
I think that this is a little closer to how Sigma was played in Overwatch 1, so I totally get it. I think a lot of the tanks have had playstyle adjustments in the single format for two reasons... Firstly, I appreciate the desire to enable your team, but as the only tank on the team it's most important that you're the hero claiming and holding space as your team's frontline. It's a difficult concept to understand, as it's never really quantified by any of the visual indicators in game, but I may make a video on the concept in future :') Secondly, 5v5 made achieving elims even more important. As a player who's focussing on enabling others, you're missing a LOT of the value that Sigma has when it comes to eliminating enemies. When you think about it, every elim you get makes the enemy team 20% weaker... that's a MASSIVE impact I played Sigma and DVa a lil bit in Overwatch 1, so I definitely appreciate your "off tank" playstyle. If you're a casual player, go absolutely wild! I think having fun is the most important part of any video game :)
@@BaileysOver I understand completely, and this is very good information, so thank you!!! :3 I didn't play the OG Overwatch... 2 is the only one I have played, but I LOVE Sigma's ability to take damage and go: Oh yeah? Hows about I make a shield out of it?". And I love the fact that you gave me more tips in that essay (Its not, thats a joke XD) you wrote! And, I will say this, I am completely casual, I still get dommed by a Moira who LOVES targeting me XD. Maybe in the future ill become competitive, but for now, im casual. I am more of a "Poke you from afar, then protecc when i need to" kind of guy but that doesn't stop me from charging headfirst into battle, ofc, with some strategy XD. And, when I have the Overhealth, I will just focus on my enemy. Rock is my favorite move. Cause I stop Orisa's all the time. And D'va's. Any tips on how to deal with a hella pushy Moira? Sorry if that bothers you XD :3
VERY good guide. Recommendation? "How2Eichenwalde" for teams that just can't. I'm a tank main; I really can't attack that map without ball, though I always get the cart rolling. Nobody knows how to push, so I just make the team back up to me. I can't be the only one with that problem.
eyy thanks man! I actually have a list of maps that I wanna make guides for, gonna add Eichenwalde onto this! no idea when I'll get around to it but... eventually :)
As a GM Sigma, I confirm everything in this video, learned the same by myself. Due to new patch, accretion is dealing 80 dmg now, but combo is still possible with additional shot before the incoming rock.
haha thanks man! I didn't expect them to change the rock one shot combo tbh :') feelsbadman

the close range trick of aiming help me alot ty @@BaileysOver
Random fact I discovered by playing Junkrat against Sigma : during his ult, drop a mine below you and make it explode before you smash the ground. It will cancel the fall damage
if this is true, that's kinda crazy 😭
Rock + primary is 210 afaik because rock damage was buffed. You can also press e and hold primary to shoot all three at once to eliminate follow up.
yup this is totally correct! I noticed this in editing, but since I knew the interactions at the 210 number everything still applied :) appreciate the feedback though, always good to be kept focussed on the little things hahah
@@BaileysOver What's great about the extra damage is that it can get through a (small) amount of healing.
true! it also leaves Torb with 55hp, exactly one sphere away from death, which is a niche lil fun fact :)
@@BaileysOver Not anymore!
Also brig has 221 effective hp, I believe. I think he said 215

Just be aware though that some sombra's will intentionally hack you to bait out your ult so she can EMP you.
That's true! I hate this matchup so much lowkey, I gotta bait out TWO of her abilities to use mine... it's such a pain :')

thank you man! the plan is to (eventually) cover every hero - stay tuned :)
DVA Main love Dive, but started playing Brawl sometimes (mostly Rein), trying Sigma next in case teammates in solo queue insist on poking 😂
W Video, found from the reddit guide!
eyy thanks man - welcome to the channel
Also I’d add that you may cancel many ultimate and absorb reaper’s ultimate which is very strong because u get like 300 hp
true! there's so much nuance to Sigma's kit, it's so hard to fit into one video :') hahah
Yeah
Bro deserves way more subs
thank you brother
such a perfect guide! i love playing sigma
thanks man! he's definitely one of my favourite tanks too :)
Sigma male
rip rock combo
dude... rip Sigma... I miss him :(
Your videos are very high quality and you should get a lot of subs overtime ❤
ey thank you man! hope to climb that sub ladder soon enough B)
Tech videos are doing pretty well rn you should definitely do more on hard champs (genshi…)
How did I just now get that he’s the “Flying Dutchman” like literally a Flying Dutchman holy shit I’m dumb
LOL it's okay, I also didn't realise until I saw his flying dutchman skin :')
Btw, after the season 4 patch sigmas rock and primary combo no longer oneshots 200 hp heros. They nerfed his rock so it does less damage.
yeahhh rip rock combo :( it was fun whilst it lasted
@@BaileysOver only way to “one shot” a squishy hero now is to throw in a melee attack if you’re in close range plus the old combo.
yup yup! it still kinda works, but I don't really wanna be that close on Sigma :(
typically what I do against Winston and dva is just apply pressure pushing forward in hope they panic
LOL super aggression, I rate it :)
really nice guide lol i was surprised when i saw less than like 10k subs only disagreement i have is that sigma kinda gets fucked by reins and balls if they arent entirely inting
eyy I appreciate the kind words :) those matchups are definitely tricky, especially if you don't have the dps to take down Rein's shield, so good point! I would still rank them as favourable for Sigma, but I can see what you mean about inting for sure :D
lost opportunity to say "all this guy is missing is shoes" but i catch your drift
hahah my bad, gonna work on a version 2 rn to fix this!
wow nice job
thanks man!
You should do a vid like this for Reinhardt
I plan to cover most heroes eventually! just gotta get around to it :')
as a sigma main, im happy to say i learned a few things.
eyy let's go dude! :)
Sigma is such a weird character to me personally as im average at best at OW but ever since the first day i played Sigma i honestly have stomped the majority of games. Hes such a well made character.
Good vid, but as a sigma main i can say that there is so much more to keep an eye out for. Alot. Of. Stuff.
oh yeah, for sure! I could talk for hours on Sigma, he's such a cool and complex hero :)
Sigma is great at 1v1s he countless most of the tanks like mauga dva and orisa
Yeah, he's not bad at fighting tanks! His high poke damage just gets sooo much value at threatening squishier heroes tho :D
While I don't have anything to add, I will say this, I am a Sigma main XD and, I play him... a little differently. I play him as a support, so, I throw Experimental Barrier out if my teammate/healer is getting attacked. Ill also jump in front with Kinetic Grasp, and fight the foes off, long enough for the healer/teammate to escape to safety, with me staying behind to hold them off. What do you think? :3
I think that this is a little closer to how Sigma was played in Overwatch 1, so I totally get it. I think a lot of the tanks have had playstyle adjustments in the single format for two reasons...
Firstly, I appreciate the desire to enable your team, but as the only tank on the team it's most important that you're the hero claiming and holding space as your team's frontline. It's a difficult concept to understand, as it's never really quantified by any of the visual indicators in game, but I may make a video on the concept in future :')
Secondly, 5v5 made achieving elims even more important. As a player who's focussing on enabling others, you're missing a LOT of the value that Sigma has when it comes to eliminating enemies. When you think about it, every elim you get makes the enemy team 20% weaker... that's a MASSIVE impact
I played Sigma and DVa a lil bit in Overwatch 1, so I definitely appreciate your "off tank" playstyle. If you're a casual player, go absolutely wild! I think having fun is the most important part of any video game :)
@@BaileysOver I understand completely, and this is very good information, so thank you!!! :3
I didn't play the OG Overwatch... 2 is the only one I have played, but I LOVE Sigma's ability to take damage and go: Oh yeah? Hows about I make a shield out of it?". And I love the fact that you gave me more tips in that essay (Its not, thats a joke XD) you wrote!
And, I will say this, I am completely casual, I still get dommed by a Moira who LOVES targeting me XD. Maybe in the future ill become competitive, but for now, im casual. I am more of a "Poke you from afar, then protecc when i need to" kind of guy but that doesn't stop me from charging headfirst into battle, ofc, with some strategy XD.
And, when I have the Overhealth, I will just focus on my enemy. Rock is my favorite move. Cause I stop Orisa's all the time. And D'va's. Any tips on how to deal with a hella pushy Moira? Sorry if that bothers you XD :3
No joke, I just watched this video then when Sigma for the first time and won 6 matches in a row.
eyy you love to see it man! new favourite hero unlocked? 🥹
you can still kill brig with a melee added!
Nice vídeo.
That man needs to be locked up in rizzin
LOL I'll take that as a compliment I guess?? :)
Just got back into overwatch and this has helped a lot, thanks. You got one for Rammatra?
ey thanks man! this was actually my first ever video, so I don't have a backlog of content just yet :') stay tuned though, we'll get there eventually!

Homie really just narrated a redit post 😂. Or maybe he made it idk
I really hate sigma rn and I hate that i have to learn to play him to counter him
whaaat how can you hate Sigma?? :(
Bronze player detected
literally forced to learn this shit hero as a tank main
After years i played him. Found out i was extremely good with him. Already do all of this now if only i had better aim
hahah ey you're half way to being a great Sigma then! honestly Sigma's aim is super unique, but as you keep playing him it'll only feel more natural 😎
VERY good guide.
Recommendation? "How2Eichenwalde" for teams that just can't.
I'm a tank main; I really can't attack that map without ball, though I always get the cart rolling. Nobody knows how to push, so I just make the team back up to me. I can't be the only one with that problem.
eyy thanks man! I actually have a list of maps that I wanna make guides for, gonna add Eichenwalde onto this! no idea when I'll get around to it but... eventually :)
