Look to pick off key enemies. Hesitation is your enemy! Commit to the play calls. Don’t play into the enemy's defense; position yourself favorably. Learn to capitalize when the opportunity presents itself. (Look at that kill feed!) Regroup after every fight! Mobility and multiple angles of attack will give you an advantage.   Defense Mentality: Play conservatively! Your life is very precious on defense. Seek your allies, protect them and let them protect you. Know when to back down. Contest the objective when appropriate. Revolve around the point, it is the only thing that matters. Use your ultimates reactively!   *Also thanks to our other iTunes reviews from: TheBrometheus, BinacaFreak, Duder Man Reviewer, & HPSeaton   You can find the Omnic Lab on: *Twitter: https://twitter.com/OmnicLab  *Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/omniclab  *Discord: discord.me/omniclab *Email: omniclabpodcast@gmail.com  *iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/omnic-lab-podcast/id1102068116 *Google Play Music: https://goo.gl/app/playmusic?ibi=com.google.PlayMusic&isi=691797987&ius=googleplaymusic&link=https://play.google.com/music/m/I4y3phepidybxbkdmdvccdcr44m?t%3DOmnic_Lab:_A_Strategic_Overwatch_Podcast  *Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/omniclab  *Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/omniclab  *Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/omniclab  *Website: http://www.omniclab.com *RSS: http://feeds.feedburner.com/omniclab  *SWEET MERCHHHH: http://shop.spreadshirt.com/omniclab  *Full Extended Show Notes:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZP38FyAY6Zm4yyaVJrdOkjhIH-bAArHtecU-QvHFnzM/edit?usp=sharing   Rob here: *Twitter: https://twitter.com/notrob *Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/notrobmedia *Twitch: http://www.twitch.tv/notrobmay *Hearthstone Podcast: www.velenschosen.com   And Andres here: *Twitter: https://twitter.com/IplaiGames *Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/iplaigamez  *Hearthstone Podcast - Coin Concede: www.coinconcede.com
