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, aim Call Bell where the enemy must stand to contest the wave, and keep clear of your own Doorway exit if it would give them a direct route to you.

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. Aim Luggage Cart to move Pocket toward a position your team can attack, keeping wounded allies clear of their arrival.

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. Aim Luggage Cart to move Pocket toward a position your team can attack, keeping wounded allies clear of their arrival.
