Sick! Thanks KarQ. I know it's gotta be stressful to be like, "the most popular thing on my channel is something I can only release every few years!" but it's great to see fresh videos. I watch em all, even the heroes I NEVER play, cause hey, you can pick up tips on how to kill em, right? Great vid series. Keep the update vids coming!
@@waltercunningham494 Sorry, is this your channel? Each video has different information from the one before it, so it's not the same video, is it? No, you're just desperate to be argumentative. Now, why is that? Probably because you're a knob, but it could be any number of reasons. Maybe your parents keep telling you you're really smart; perhaps because Santa's not bringing you what you want for Christmas--I mean, there's like 90+ possible reasons why you may have left your snarky comment, each one of them different!
@@warfordjokes Jesus dude, I know he's being a bit snarky, but there's no need to completely project your own reality onto him. Just call him a tool and be done with it lol.
huge tips, i did not know shields break off healing (zen ult, moira left click) and i didn't know you could ult people on top of your head (bap lamp). will definitely try this. thanks!
Shoutout to Guru for being the homie on Overwatch since the start. Over 4 years ago now, he would post on the Zarya mains subreddit, offering vod reviews to everyone and has always continued helping others while improving himself. Genuine amazing guy who you can learn so much from
This video was really informative. I had no idea you could do stuff like letting Bap die on your head during ult or have enough time to avoid a Rein shatter if you ult. It's much better compared to the videos where some say "just shoot" or "It's not your job"
Thanks! To be fair though, telling people it's not your job is often misinterpreted because it's actually a good tip as it's based on proper target selection. If you're shifting your target focus on the wrong hero, you are giving up valuable space and threat levels.
@@KarQ I definitely agree, each character has some of it's niche and it's a good testament to Overwatch's versatility as a game to be honest. Most esports games you're typically locked onto one character but OW gives you the freedom to switch and spice up your gameplay while countering other heroes
That general tip is extremely underrated. Sigma's playstyle is all about adapting and cooperation. More people need to pay attention to that. I kinda wished that the tips include how to deal with a hero when the shield is on cooldown/busy doing something else tho. Other than that, this has been a long time coming. Well done!
It would probably be something like "Keep tabs on the enemy team and track ultimates. You have 3 powerful tools (shield, rock, grasp) to deal with enemies, and make sure you save the ones you need for the fight ahead." Instead of figuring out how to deal with the situation where you really need your unavailable shield (and your other two abilities aren't good enough), don't put yourself there in the first place.
Another tip for when you’re against rein. If you had to use your shield to block something else or were caught out, you can still use your rock to interrupt the shatter/the follow up or it will force the rein to hold his shield for a second long so that you have your shield again Additionally, if a rein knows you’re saving shield to block his shatter, really let him know that’s what you’re doing. Then what you can do is use your shift and then almost immediately cancel it with rock, the rein will think it’s a free shatter but really he just lost his ult. Also don’t forget to melee between shots as it makes a big difference. Remember that you can’t melee during your ult tho
@@usedhalfcart you don’t do it on reaction. The first example is to zone because you’ll see the rein push up or whatever and he’ll just have to hold his shield for an extra second to block the rock and that gives you time to re shield. Second example it’s a bait where he’ll see you use shift and try to shatter but bc you immediately cancelled it with rock it will interrupt his shatter (or give you time to reshield
These are so helpful! Im a McCree main and the tips on that video were so helpful. Even tho i dont play many of these characters i just enjoy watching the vids
I have a small tip from ages ago that I believe applies to Sigma. Attacks that deal knockback are credited for environmental Kills and give Ult Charge proportional to the health of the fallen Hero. It's why you always wanna Melee a Hero jumping off a cliff even if you don't have a knockback ability since you'll get the Kill credit and Ult Charge. To my knowledge, this should also apply to Sigma's primary (since it moves players around) so you have a way to tag enemies going off a cliff and get a ton of Ult Charge. I may be wrong (I haven't played this game in so long and mechanics may have changed) but I hope this helps someone
Yess, I've had a few matches where I've been able to get a cheeky boost to my ult charge by tossing some orbs into some of the smaller pits (ilios well, the pits around lijiang garden point, even bouncing off corners in spots like lighthouse and oasis university) while an enemy is falling; very useful for getting that little extra oomph without having to be at the edge of a pit for a direct hit and risk getting CC'd into there too if the team fight is still going on.
Tysm I have been waiting for this guide for ages because I am a sigma main determined to prove that sigma is still a great pick. The only problem I ran into was not finding up-to-date guides with the nerfes so thank you even though the other guide still has some viable and good tips. So keep up the good work with these 1 tip videos they are really useful and I love them.
Opera GX is actually really good, it’s visually appealing and the ability to limit ram & open stuff like discord and youtube with a single click is really good
Pro tip here: Everytime you have to ult, to maximize your damage, press tha chat button and scream "HET UNIVERSUM ZINGT VOOR MIJ" works 100% of the time
against echo, her primary rotation begins with her sticky bombs, so it is optimal for you to save your shield as much as you can to block the stickies from hitting you or teammates, then drop the shield before they blow up to reduce the damage done to your shield and ensure your shield gets more uptime during the fight.
Weird but going with the thought "I am big brain and everyone is beneath me" as Sigma helps lol. I feel more confident and more aggressive thanks to his amazing kit
5:30 Still don't understand why a fucking rock is the only projectile in the game that can't be deflected, compared to literal bullets and black holes.
After hearing his kit being explained excessively, it’s actually really funny to me that an Overwatch characters ability is throwing a rock at someone.
It’s so strange to think how funny and dumb this is we have talking monke a flying robot ice demon gravity users and literal fighting mechs and robots with all sorts of high tech abilities then theres sigma:HAHA rock go thunk
@@nickspencerfishingrodd2383 It is. no lucio is going to just stop right in fron of your shield and boop it, they just walk through it and boop everyone behind it, that tip is a scam also no lucio ults off super high to give you time to block his ult, they just ult on the ground BOTH TIPS ARE A SCAM
Idk if anyone commented this or maybe it's well enough known, I'm no pro at this game so idk. but an echo tip that helped me was to bait her sticky bombs, shield them so they stick to your shield up in the air, then drop your shield before they explode, so you block em without damaging your shield.
Okay this is so good! I used to use my barrier to contest a mei, interrupt a hook, or block a shatter, and a d.va bomb but using it against molten core, and grav? I never thought of it. Thank Guru, and KarQ Also I did not know how Cass's ult completely. I once blocked him with barrier but got killed anyway. Well I know now why that happened
I've always been a fan of eating molten core with the kinetic grasp myself, I never really thought too much about using the shield for it myself, even though it makes perfect sense that it'd block the projectiles lol.
I like how in all these "vs EVERY HERO'S" KarQ puts ft person but in the meantime KarQ should be the feated one coz the other person is speaking for like the 90% of the video
I have a bad habit of doing this. I'd say, it's ok to throw one as the enemies are pushing up, for example Blizzard world point A, just yeet a rock at the choke. Unless they have a lucio, then they aren't gonna make it to you before your rock is off CD again. Generally speaking though, don't just throw rock for damage. Your primary fire literally does more damage if it's a direct hit, and then you're losing the utility of rock when its on CD. Unless you're throwing the rock at an orisa pull, always do that. Save rock to cancel enemy abilities or to stun a hero that is highly mobile. (Rock is very good against genji, tracer, and doom for this reason)
as a sigma main most of the stuff i already do but i still appreciate the sharing the stuff i didn't know (ima try using my ult and landing them on my head now)
I feel like it's more of a troll thing to do, but I think it can be good in *highly* situational places (and against highly situational characters like bap). I just don't think it's worth the risk unless you know they don't have cc because you're putting yourself into their entire team to dunk on someone for da funny.

As an Ana main, I see Sigmas ulting without shield all the time, wich makes them a target for sleep dart. The Sheld tip is REALLY good for that reason

Torb: what’s my purpose
KarQ: you are used to measure things..
after 2 years and Sigma is the most overbloated and versatile tank who makes tanking a chore
Couldn't agree more about Echo. She is still the most broken character and yet to receive a meaningful nerf.

Using Torb as a unit of measurement is an iconic part of this series.

Question for sigma players:is it worth to use rock during the poke faze for some ranged damage or should we save the cooldown?
Defo save cooldown, the poke damage isn't more valuable than stunning people out of abilities/ults
I have a bad habit of doing this. I'd say, it's ok to throw one as the enemies are pushing up, for example Blizzard world point A, just yeet a rock at the choke. Unless they have a lucio, then they aren't gonna make it to you before your rock is off CD again. Generally speaking though, don't just throw rock for damage. Your primary fire literally does more damage if it's a direct hit, and then you're losing the utility of rock when its on CD. Unless you're throwing the rock at an orisa pull, always do that. Save rock to cancel enemy abilities or to stun a hero that is highly mobile. (Rock is very good against genji, tracer, and doom for this reason)
