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, follow safe gun damage with Rake once the enemy is wounded and close enough to hit. Keep Sanguine Retreat for the enemy’s return attack.

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. Use Rake once Pocket is wounded and within reach, keeping Sanguine Retreat for the way back to cover.

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 Rake once Pocket is wounded and within reach, keeping Sanguine Retreat for the way back to cover.
