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 Slam Fire when you have a clear shooting opportunity. Boot Kick pushes you off the enemy it hits; follow with a shot on that marked target if you can do so safely.

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. In human form, use Slam Fire when you have a clear shot on Pocket.

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. In human form, use Slam Fire when you have a clear shot on Pocket.
