Any tips to play Spiderman?

[Fulp]

I'm slowly getting used to his playstyle but i have a lot of trouble closing distance between enemies that are 3 feet away from me. I miss many kills where the enemy is one hit away but they keep walking backwards and shoot at me even though i'm very close but my punches don't connect. any tips?

There are combos. I think the most common one is to hit them with the ranged web attack (preferably 2-3x), use the long strand attack that pulls you to the target (you have to web them first), immediately uppercut, and immediately melee. That should either kill a 250 hp player or at least get them super low. I'm sure there are others as well.

Google spiderman combo's on youtube, lots of good enough shorts for the combo's. Remember you're not as much DPS as you area an assassin. Swing around them, target the dps or a healer you can quickly 1v1. Get out. Once you have your ult best best to get it all off it to again, go around them and web directly into them from above or the backside and then ult

Or you can get videos of the combo just by playing a support at any reasonable elo and watching your death replays (bitter laughter).

Turn off auto swing/swing help, you can then web swing directly onto the ground.

You're an assassin, not a dps. If anyone doesn't die from your initial combo and they get healed, just swing away and try again later.

For combo, web tracer+uppercut+left click isnt enough. After the web tracer and uppercut, press left click, then inmediately press jump then immediately left click to do a ground pound animation. This does more damage than just mashing left click in the air and kills 250 hp characters implying they dont get healing.

Dont feel afraid to spam web tracer before jumping on someone. Especially if they're being stationary , as you have 5 of them to use and you only need to land one to start your combo with a generous duration.

Where is auto swing/swing help turned off? I wanted to turn it off but didn't know where the option was.

The setting is called automatic swing, my bad.

Its in keyboard > Change all heroes to Spiderman specifically > Scroll down to Hero, it'll be the third down.

Yep, there it is. Much better (guess you better learn what you can grapple toward though).

OH MY GOD YOU CAN ACTUALLY FIX THE STUPID WALL RUNNING BEHAVIOR TOO!

And you can change activities from toggle to hold! So I won't constantly turn off things after turning them on!

I'm going to be fixing so many things!

1.) Yeah, automatic swing OFF. Can do ground zips and bunny hops then.

2.) Jumping, ground zipping, then canceling that into the uppercut carries plenty of horizontal momentum and is a fast drive-by attack.

3.) Learn bunny hops. Massive speed boost, easier time getting out of cramped spawn rooms.

4.) Map an additional jump to scroll wheel. When you normally double jump and try to hammer blow someone on the ground, you have to wait 'til you're actually low enough to hit them. A scroll wheel double jump is shorter, so the hammer blow can reach sooner.

5.) Turn hold to swing OFF. This isn't just a preference thing. It allows for some of the more damaging combos. Yes, Spider-Man can even combo kill 300 HP characters (Black Panther and Wolverine) without the Venom assist.

6.) The concept of saving the Get Over Here for later, when you'd need it for re-chasing or an extra kill.

And as you learn these, start off in AI matches as you WILL be ass as you unlearn bad habits and learn new ones, lol.
