haha thanks man! I didn't expect them to change the rock one shot combo tbh :') feelsbadman

Blud is a true sigma🗿🗿🗿

if this is true, that's kinda crazy 😭

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

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 :')

true true true! the amount of times I've killed myself with a rock is... less than impressive...

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

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 >:)

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! :)

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 :)

that's amazing to hear dude, I'm glad you enjoyed! hopefully a ton of new info coming to the channel soon :)

You can also LOS block Bastion's ult with Sig's shield! :)

LMAO she's trying man 😤

hahah thank you man! more content coming soon

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!

hahah that's fair enough! honestly, you can't go wrong with Orisa and Sigma either :)

eyyy thanks man! I just started posting this month, but hopefully I can keep making content that you guys find useful - appreciate the kind words! :)

thank you man! more content coming your way :)

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 :')

ey thanks man! I appreciate the kind words :)

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 :')

dude... rip Sigma... I miss him :(

thank you! more content on its way soon :)

eyyy I'm glad you could learn a thing or two! keep practicing brother you'll get there one day :)

well i guess a few more videos will definitely fix that

hahah thank you! we're just getting started, more content coming soon :)

eyy let's go dude! keep smashing it, more content coming soon :D

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 :)

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 :)

thank you man! the plan is to (eventually) cover every hero - stay tuned :)

LOL it's okay, I also didn't realise until I saw his flying dutchman skin :')

eyy thanks man - welcome to the channel

LOL super aggression, I rate it :)

thanks man!

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…)

thanks man! he's definitely one of my favourite tanks too :)

Sigma male

true! there's so much nuance to Sigma's kit, it's so hard to fit into one video :') hahah

Yeah

thank you brother

eyy you love to see it man! new favourite hero unlocked? 🥹

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 :(

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

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

hahah my bad, gonna work on a version 2 rn to fix this!

eyy let's go dude! :)

Yeah, he's not bad at fighting tanks! His high poke damage just gets sooo much value at threatening squishier heroes tho :D

oh yeah, for sure! I could talk for hours on Sigma, he's such a cool and complex hero :)

I plan to cover most heroes eventually! just gotta get around to it :')

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!

@@BaileysOver great start for your first video! yeah, i meant in the pipeline haha. I'll be looking forward to it :)

LOL I'll take that as a compliment I guess?? :)

hahah that's how most heroes work tbf! keep at it man, you'll get used to it and keep improving :)

whaaat how can you hate Sigma?? :(

Bronze player detected

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 😎

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 :)
