The Iron Man Experience

[Borko]

You pick Iron Man.
You're doing okay, he's actually really fun.
Enemy team swaps to Hela and Widow.
You can no longer play Iron Man.
Swap off.

Why did they even bother putting him in this game?

"Swap off."

No, my friend. In ranked, they just pick Iron as a third DPS and refuse to switch until the first game is over at 4 minutes, saying stuff like, "I'll switch after five deaths."

I mean killing Iron Man is all Widow can do well so I guess she needs some kinda W.

Ngl, I feel that he should have better flight because of Hela, punisher etc, They legit kill iron man in about 0.2 seconds

Just stay on the ground and play him like a normal hero then, the #1 Iron Man barely ever stays high in the air

number 1 iron man plays like 6 feet off the ground going high makes you an obvious target and puts distance between you and your supports staying low fixes this issue pretty well

If you want to stay airborne on Iron Man you need to be more cautious and defensive because you are an easy target up in the air. You'll have to utilize the map and terrain to block line of sight and use your shift to get out of there the moment you get targeted. Because that first shot is the first of a handful that will quickly drop you.

Iron man is basically a better Moon Knight though. More mobility, no reliance on Ankhs to deal cleave damage, and an insta-kill ult. Plus his team-up is more damage instead of a bubble of "I'm in here, please don't shoot AoE damage at me!"

I think a big issue with him is he gets almost no heals unless he's right there on the ground with his team. When I go up and play corners to get good angles and cheeky kills on the enemy, if a Widow shoots me in the body I won't get healed unless I fly to a health pack or go back down, because nobody really looks up.

I've been trying to play him a lot lately and it's tough because I mostly have to be self sufficient, know where health packs are and good paths to get to them safely or I die, because I'll be getting almost nothing unless I float back down.


There's been many times that I was playing a nice angle, got a kill on a Mantis, but then a Hela hits me. I'll go back around the corner and use "need healing" but the strategists can't seem to figure out that I'm above them, so I have to go back down to them and keep using it, but then Hela, who's been flanking to get to me because she's pissed at me, kills me and then leaves.

And honestly why play Iron Man entirely on the ground, he's great at getting good angles. If I'm just going to stay on the ground all match it would be better to pick someone else like Squirrel Girl.

Frankly, nobody looks up. This is both true sometimes for the enemy team and also your own team.
