Full matchup plan

Early game · first 8 minutes

Avoid Barrage’s projectiles so Pocket cannot build damage amplification from repeated hero hits. Watch the route of Flying Cloak and keep clear of Enchanter’s Satchel’s exit explosion. Pocket can wait before teleporting to the cloak. While Pocket is targetable, use Arctic Beam while your partner can follow its slow with damage, but break off if sustaining it exposes you to both opponents.

Mid game · Walkers

Watch whether Pocket actually teleports to Flying Cloak before following. Stand outside Enchanter’s Satchel’s explosion and wait until Pocket emerges before attacking. Slow Pocket with Arctic Beam while your team attacks, keeping cover within reach.

Late game · Patron

Leave space between allies before Pocket reaches you with Affliction. Fully upgraded Affliction prevents healing. Protect affected teammates from follow-up attacks. Use Arctic Beam to slow Pocket’s pursuit and reduce their fire rate while they are targetable. Wait for the healing prevention to end before relying on Frost Grenade to restore your ally’s health.
