As a Dr Strange main, I think his portal is objectively the strongest non-ult ability in this game. Infinite range (as far as I know), can be used to scout enemies postioning beforehand, can be used to quickly move to a location, can block enemies, can give teammates (punisher) a free window, is invisible beforehand, and can surpised enemies with team ults.
Be more intentional with your attacks, they do hella dmg and can snipe squishes, or hit whatever’s up close to use his AOE blast when things are getting close range, cycle his basic fire with your levitate together
Another thing you can do is that with the reload you can cancel it with a Melee hit , It shaves off the reload timer but just a tad if you time it correctly As soon as he smacks his hands together the reload is done small thing but just something I found
Tested now but you can also animation cancel his reload with all of his abilities not just his melee attack And this ultimate also actually reloads your weapon so you can -use all ammo to get dark energy -ult -E -continue attacking
@@jasonruff1270 with random people it's a little harder I pretty much save it for spawning on top of the point while the enemy team is clumped up and popping ultt as I fall down. If you want to do a sneaky maneuver put it in front of Spawn while you are summoning it there's a big animation so other people can tell you're about to open a portal. Dump it behind the back Lane and just charg in like an idiot with your team. Watch the killfeed and if your team is respawning it's the best time because they have to run past it to ignore it
Bro try flipping the portals around. You get some freaky interactions. Summon portal, reposition it, flip the “front” of the portal so the “back” is facing you. Then when you place the other part of the portal, flip that too and see what happens. It actually does strange things… Like if you place it above a team regularly, you’ll walk through and fall down onto the enemy team. But if you flip the portal around….you won’t fall down onto the team, you’ll actually be climbing out of the portal from the top. You can actually stand on the rim of it and shoot down😂 you’ll know because when you look through it, it won’t be facing down above the enemy team, you’ll be looking at the ceiling above the enemy team. 😮 So really, there is a front and back of the portal. So by flipping it, the front of the portal will be on top. You can also make a portal, reposition, flip the first one so your looking into the “back” of it, then when you place the second half of it, flip it around behind an enemy team. Basically what that does is allow you to look through your portal and see the team from the front, but the second part is seeing them from the back. You can shoot through one side and have the projectiles hit the enemy from behind😂. I’ve been playing with it to see if it hits them twice but I haven’t been able to test that (because I have no friends on it😂) butt it’s like looking into a mirror if you flip them. You can see yourself through the portal. It’s silly but play with it.
Something I haven't seen anybody talk about yet, but I've found you can do an animation cancel with strange to get an early reload. About half-way through the reload meter all your daggers are reloaded before fully completing the animation so you can put up your shield for a quick second or melee to get to firing faster. Putting up the shield is the more efficient way but melee will still save time. Also if you see a punisher in their turret you can position a portal off the map and put the other portal halfway into the punisher turret and it'll disorient him quite the amount and usually end s you up with a kill.
@@dylanbroome6285 It's crazy how almost half of the player base doesn't know that everyone has a melee. It depends on your settings you can check it, mostly it is programmed as mouse button if you have one or "v" on PC but on console it would always be right stick.
Im not entirely sure but when I've tested strange ult it actually requires line of sight so if youre behind a wall and he's on the other side you won't get stunned
The Shield Hawkeye interaction is intended. Hawkeye needs "line of sight" to an enemy for the echos to appear. Shield blocks that. If Someone who has echos goes behind cover, the echos will disappear. Because line of sight.
Gonna start learning Strange, I think, since I'm tired of being cursed out for playing dps LOL Strange was boring to me when I first gave him a try, but your video piqued my interest 🤔 Portal + high dps + decent melee attack + silly billy antics? Alright, I'm in
there is a bug u can take advantage from Doctor Stranger, you can reload faster by clicking shield button once its 60% circle while reloading. You know it takes full circle to fully reload finally but you can dodge that timer reloading by clicking shield button and you will have it 8/8 again! use it and thank me here.
Wow!! What a great tutorial!! This amps me to really give him another shot. I couldn't figure out why I was struggling until now. He is very squishy and not a great tank at all. However his shield is insane. I'm glad to know who his shield is weak against. Makes it easier to choose him when the time is right. Thank you!!
Thanks for this bogur. I tried playing for the first time last night and couldn’t get a handle on any of the tanks. All the hero’s have so many abilities I couldn’t find something that felt right. But DS sounds like a good starting point.
I used him like 3 times I play on Xbox for the portal what button is it to reposition I tried using his portal to trap in spawn but I guess I missed it?
I have an issue, when I try to replace my first portal, if I move it around for a little, it cancels for no reason and I lose the ability until it comes back. Is there a hidden timer on it?
another way to use portal that ive thought about is by putting it right infront of a soldier turret or a hela ult so that it completely blocks off an angle of attack for them. obviously reposition the first portal somewhere they cant flank with and cant shoot team mates through.
I wonder if dr strange portals can act like an endless pit like in the spiderman movie or act like an infinite corridor to attack from both sides by both enemies and allies
He already has so much damage and buffing fire rate will knock out one of his best unintentional abilities. Which is to cycle primary + melee or primary + shield. I don't think it's an animation cancel but it works and it is very distinct if someone good is doing it, since it closely doubles his damage and utility output. As for his shield I think either his shield doesn't get damaged with melee or block melee for half and half for shield, but blocking melee shouldn't be the case due to it being too cheesy imo.
Got to top 2%(silver 1 LOL) playing mostly strange and captain America. Strange is super strong and the hit box on his shots are massive. Very easy character to get value from
I don't understand, I wanna farm achiement with strange terrain ko and when I place portal enemies who walks in don't count as a kill they just suic1de. Why is that?
So at what point is it the best time to activate Maelstrom of Madness? Am I supposed to use it as close to 100 as possible or will it be maximum damage after you reached 100 and use it before it completely depletes to 0?
I'm trying to main this character because I like to be a tank, my only problem is that sometimes I don't know how to move well, the idea of strange is not to spam his shield but also to poke a bit with the damage right? and if I have healers behind I can be more aggressive right? or what would be ideal? I know I should try to be in front of my team all the time but sometimes in team fights I forget a little cause the chaos of the fight. The other thing I didn't know was the melee attack, it's complicated to click for me V to attack but I'll take it into account.
I normally bind my melee to scroll wheel so it’s easier to hit, most abilities are on my mouse already so I just consider it another ability Kind of looks like LMB to damage, RMB to block, scroll wheel forward to melee
When I activate shield it sometimes goes away like my right click is not working but with the other tank that has his shield on shift I have the same problem someone know why?
Spawn-locking for 20 secs for the ez cap is genius
11:56 the teamup also increases the size of your dark magic explosion and is the main appeal
Nice pfp

8:10 they did it by sacrificing our frames to the gods lol
This is perfect, Dr. Strange is my favorite MR character! Thank you Bogur!
Swear I am constantly having to reload and there's never a right time with him
Same… his primary fire resembles zenyatta’s a lot.
Idk why they don't just give him infinite ammo tbh
Be more intentional with your attacks, they do hella dmg and can snipe squishes, or hit whatever’s up close to use his AOE blast when things are getting close range, cycle his basic fire with your levitate together

The Strange GOAT! Good stuff man, there's LOTS of great info in here.
Dr strange, is one of the best characters the ultimate you can wipe a whole team ( you do need your team around you) and that portal is just insane
The GOAT guide finally, so, that primary got 8 ammo now?!
In my very limited time playing him so far, I'm having a really hard time hitting his shots.
Get closer, especially since you want to cancel with his insane melee every shot. You'll get the feel for it strange is a busted tank
That, or you try to preaim where the enemy is moving, depending on the distance of them
I play him like magneto, in your face
@@TheGreatMilksteak how do you make use of the portal thing. I wish everyone knew I was OPENING A PORTAL but it's like no one on my team cares

well 20 kills most of the time unless my teammates absolutely suck

That's cool. You can create a makeshift foxhole to shoot out of.
Can you upload a short video to demonstrate im too dumb for this sorry 😅
Strange players have galaxy brains bro
This is insane bro game of the year
Dr Frames is crazy, locking people in spawn with portal is nuts
There’s multiple exits just walk around it
@richardbrown4898 yea no shit I play the guy, 10hrs played
To add onto the boost with Hulk, once MoM is charged up, you get a healing BOOST, so he has more survivalbility if your healers are keeping you up
I like the idea of a flying tank but the ability just never really works that way.
Spawn trapping a team with the portal is next level evil. Never would’ve thought of that.
Batman guide when?
Well he not in game and never will be
2:30 Hawktuah’s ult only appears on targets that he has LOS, I guess Strange sheild blocks LOS too

Picked up strange because of bogur and just hit GM. Definitely a tank most should learn.
what website is he getting this info from?
Best guide ever . Thank you Bogur
I always see people doing good with him, but I struggle cus his lack of damage on his main attack but hopefully this will help me learn
Bogur nation cooks the algorithm. W video gang

Silly Billy attacks😂
I’m on console and I really struggle with hitting Dr stranges daggers should I just prioritize melee up close?
No, just fix your mechanics
you can also melee cancel the long reload half way through
Thank you bogur! Youre my favorite albanian grocery boy!
Of course Hawkeye can break through shields as well. Genuinely I have no idea how he got through testing.

2:09 really gave us that Hawkeye tuah down the mic

I didn't know the souls AND body were targets! That's so useful!
Is the shield considered cover to hide behind? Hawkeye ult works when the enemy is visible to hawkeye. That's just my guess. Lmk if im wrong yall
thor guide next after your thor grind ? :)
the malestorm also gets larger with the hulk team up. it goes from 8m to 10m
Is stranges shield only front block?
Yes
Why did you choose Dr. Strange. Anything specific you like about him?
I used him like 3 times I play on Xbox for the portal what button is it to reposition I tried using his portal to trap in spawn but I guess I missed it?
I have an issue, when I try to replace my first portal, if I move it around for a little, it cancels for no reason and I lose the ability until it comes back. Is there a hidden timer on it?
samee yoooo
Hmm so Dr Strange can support and cover for Scarlet long time ultimate. She could charge up first then go through the portal?
Strange is insane for solo queuing if you can get your whole team through a portal, especially one out of sight from the enemies.
Thank you for feeding us Bogur
another way to use portal that ive thought about is by putting it right infront of a soldier turret or a hela ult so that it completely blocks off an angle of attack for them. obviously reposition the first portal somewhere they cant flank with and cant shoot team mates through.

The STRANGE GOAT !!!!
Of course the shield is counter to Hawkeye, he’s a time keeper
THE STRANGE GOAT 🗣🗣🗣
I wonder if dr strange portals can act like an endless pit like in the spiderman movie or act like an infinite corridor to attack from both sides by both enemies and allies
how do you stay up in the air? I don't stay for 6 seconds
I'm wondering the same thing. It seems to trigger inconsistently (playing on console).
Stop spamming buttons and you’ll keep floating
Hit the button and watch the magic happen
how to fly high, how to stay airborne and use shield without descending.
How do you stay floating with his ability? Sometimes it just jumps a little high and i fall. Is there a specific way to stay floating?
Just push the button and don’t spam any other buttons and you should float. Then it’ll show the buttons to raise, lower and cancel.
Matchup next video ?
Where is the passive buildup shown on screen?
i feel like dr strange needs a buff on his fire rate its a bit slow compared to other charecter plus to be able to block mele damage
He already has so much damage and buffing fire rate will knock out one of his best unintentional abilities. Which is to cycle primary + melee or primary + shield. I don't think it's an animation cancel but it works and it is very distinct if someone good is doing it, since it closely doubles his damage and utility output.

What’s the button input for console to place the first portal somewhere besides right in front of you
RT or R2
Hulk does not get extra HP when teamed with Strange. That extra HP is his “season bonus” and is present regardless of Strange
THE WEIRD SHEEP!!
The Unusual Ram
So you can just use the portal to get free vision anywhere on the map and without any CD?
little chungus
I wish doctor strange had a portal gun aswell.
The spawn trap is ridicolous xD
I am coming for your title of Strange goat, bogur (on console anyways)
The anti-heal needs to be on anyone he attacks when using dark magic not just himself
That would be horrifically broken
@@siren_atlanticagiven how absurd healing is in this game, that's perfectly fine
So iron fist and Hawkeye are Dr strange counters
What are your settings?
my guide goat
hawkeye's sillhouette is los dependent i think
I could swear I've heard his saying something about the book of the vishanti, and having an ult when he summons a ktulhu an I crazy?

Good question, I personally disperse it when it’s over 100 and starts glowing. I think that’s max damage
@brandonvillanueva1545 - That's what I've been doing but I've been getting mixed results. It probably does get weaker as it's depleting but not sure

How do you "reload" the right click basic range damage ability? Stupid question but wanted to ask. Haven't played yet looking to buy tonight.
So is his shoot melee like sigma’s shoot melee it doesn’t decrease the time to shoot but it’s extra damage?
what graphics setting should i turn up so that the portal does lag my game out constantly?
When I activate shield it sometimes goes away like my right click is not working but with the other tank that has his shield on shift I have the same problem someone know why?
